When Dawn reaches for the Destroyer Blade, King Katsuro spins away as Captain Kid collides with Dawn, driving her to the ground. What happen? Charles doesn’t know. Chaos erupts, the Blue Skulls ready with their weapons. A guard grabs Charles, the cyclops scoops up William, and someone kicks Ozzie in the stomach.
When Captain Kid climbs off Dawn on the floor, he stands and points to the king’s sword. “LOOK!” he shouts. There, on the razor edge is a gruesome streak of red.
“Impossible!” King Katsuro declares. He claims there must’ve been someone else—someone cut from time—because of the blood. But what about it, Charles wonders. If Dawn was cut there definitely would be blood. But something about it bothers him. There’s just so much of it.
Dawn stands, presenting her hand to the gathering. All can see the cut across her palm.
Katsuro is livid. She couldn’t have touched it! But when the Blue Skull with the golden gauntlet examines Dawn’s injury, he sides with her and gives his allegiance.
“I require my sword,” Dawn says, but when Katsuro backs away thrashing with the Destroyer Blade, the Blue Skull guardsman shoots the king dead.
As soon as Dawn is given her sword, she petitions to the audience for their help to stop the fairy’s kidnapper. The captain asks for a helicopter and weapons for his knights, including grenades! No problem, they say, but Charles feels the rug pulled out from under him—no way they’re going home now.
Then again, with the help of the people of Atsuma—and with Dawn becoming their QUEEN!—maybe there’s a chance to save the fairy after all. Maybe he and his friends ARE the kind of kids cut-out for adventure.
The chapter ends with Charles talking to the cyclops. Their conversation leaves Charles with a very surprising impression…that given time, he and the one-eyed monster might even become friends.
