When they arrive, a Janpinguhantāsame attacks and nearly drags one of the passengers away. Cyrus and Iwakasi jump in to save him. Breach drags them back and Oz heals the wounded man. The shark attacks again only to be attacked and driven off by Horatio.

• Once back at the ship, they take time to get aboard, but Tay sneaks on and hides. Their weapons are mostly removed. The Shelleshe are in control and organizing the returning crew and passengers.

He approaches the group as more pirates come to the deck and begin to surround them. They are joined by Kes, who charged in to help near the end of the fight. Off to the side, Warren and others knock a lifeboat off the side. The caster talks to Oz and Akra as Yinites. After a couple minutes of talking, he knocks them all out with a spell.
