Reunited with Milinda, Qwenthur and Havia infiltrate the enemy base looking for a way to disable the Water Strider and allow Frolaytia's forces to launch a counterattack, but things go south when Milinda is captured and it's up to Qwenthur to challenge all odds to make sure his plan works. He manages to sabotage the Water Strider's self destruct mechanism, causing it to explode and allowing Frolaytia to capture the enemy base. Qwenthur and Havia are hailed as heroes, and then are immediately transferred to a new front, much to their dismay.
