LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In 'Rebel Moon — Part Two', Kora (Sofia Boutella) and the surviving warriors return to Veldt, and prepare to defend their new home from the Realm's forces.

The fighters help farmers harvest the entire grain supply before the ship's arrival to use flour as leverage to prevent Motherworld from bombing the entire village.

The harvesting tools are turned into weapons and Titus (Djimon Hounsou) trains the villagers ahead of the inevitable battle.

Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein), who aspires to get a seat in the senate by bringing Kora to Balisarius (Fra Fee), asks her to surrender to save the rest of the village.

Despite knowing the consequences, Kora accepts the deal but Gunnar (Michiel Huisman) intervenes and commands an attack.

Kora and Gunnar board Noble's escaping ship to prevent him from bombing the entire village. Following a lot of combat and bloodshed, Kora is able to blow up his ship by planting explosives.

Noble is about to kill Kora but Gunnar steps in and saves her. Sadly, he gets shot. Kora is finally able to kill Noble as she chops off his head.

Kora and Gunnar are able to escape the burning ship before it’s too late. However, Gunnar succumbs to his injury, which shatters Kora.

Meanwhile, Devra (Cleopatra Coleman) arrives with the entire rebel fleet to take down the remaining dropships, thus ensuring the safety of Veldt.

Though we assumed that the sequel would mark the end of the franchise, the final scenes of the film hint otherwise.

As Kora comes clean about her past, Titus informs her that Princess Issa (Stella Grace Fitzgerald) is still alive. Kora's next mission is to find the Princess and prepare for another fight.

In the final moments, we also catch a glimpse of Balisarius, who discovers Noble's death and immediately realizes that Kora is behind the attack.

If Netflix green lights the next installment, we'll see Kora and her team embarking on a journey to find Princess Issa while Balisarius will hatch another evil plan against her.

'Rebel Moon — Part Two: Director’s Cut' is now streaming on Netflix
