Captured Manuipich

Joseph meets up with Mayalito who doesn't believe Quoatl to be a cowardly king. The Adeskans demand Quoatl pick up a sword and fight Taruka, but he refuses. Joseph arrives and provides a distraction, and Quoatl finally fights Taruka. Quoatl had refused earlier challenges because Taruka wasn't ready to become king. Quoatl and Mayalito help attack the Dianna Counter soldiers while the Suicide Squad attacks their cannons. Kihel tries to stop the firing of the Willgehm's beam cannon. Planted bombs destroy the cannons, along with assistance from Taruka. Quoatl and Mayalito sacrifice themselves. Taruka becomes the new king and encourages Loran to head to space.
