Beams of red light sprouted from the crystal, engulfing everything in it. The ship shuddered at its strength and power.

The red light engulfed Makoto, then burst into flames. He screamed in pain.

The general and his men were thrown off their feet. "To the gunship!" He ordered. To the burning Makoto, he yelled in triumph, "Do you think there's just ONE

Leviathan?" He sprinted off.

Somewhere in the prison cell, Sheeta and Pazu were broken out by Dola and the boys. "It seems to be breaking up, mom!" A pirate yelled as the walls crumbled.

"Yes, I can kind of see that!" She yelled. Heaving the bag of treasure over her shoulders, she grabbed Sheeta. "Come on, not much time to lose!"

"What about Makoto!" Pazu yelled.

"Don't worry, I knew his dad! He can take care of himself!" And with that they ran to the waiting Tigermoth II.

Inside the cockpit, a flaming creature was born.

It had the snout and face of a lizard, and although it moved like a human, it was far from. Wings made of fire sprouted from his back, and it raised its clawed hands in anger.

It screamed a sound incredibly intense and powerful. Gazing around with its flaming, evil eyes, the creature flew through the cockpit, shattering the wall as if there was nothing there.

It went through the skies at a frighteningly fast speed, towards the clouds…

…And towards Laputa.
