Summary

The chapter opens with Frau recalling one of Labrador's predictions. He modifies a Hawkzile so that it would be able to cope with the predicted harsh conditions. Carl’s protests are interrupted when Teito Klein asks him where the toilets are (as Capella needs them). On the way there, they pass many sklave cells, full of sklaves who are to be returned to the concentration camp. One of them calls out to Capella and this upsets him. Teito quickly becomes angry to which Carl replies that if he (Teito) wanted to stop slavery, then he would have to change the way of the Empire.

Soon, a formation of Fyulong dragons fly close to Carl’s ship, amazing many of the crew members who comment on what a rare sight this is. However, their amazement turns to horror when they realise that Burupya came from that parent’s pack. Mikage calls out to the Fyulong dragon again, which roars, the sound destroying the ship and causing the creature powering the ship to faint.

Frau admits he lied about Mikage falling from his nest. Before Teito could get angry at him, several crew members fall out of the ship and Frau saves them with his newly modified Hawkzile. Carl refuses to leave as that would mean he would have to abandon all the sklaves on his ship.

Teito takes over the flying of the ship, exchanging Cathy’s hull energy with his own, however, a human’s level of zaiphon can only support the aircraft whilst landing or taking off and so Teito decides to land safely. Using his zaiphon, Teito steers the aircraft though he cannot see through the clouds. Frau indicates that Teito should follow him and they pass through the mountains to land in front of Raggs Castle.

Teito runs off towards the castle as soon as the ship lands.
