Kira runs into a group of marauders that make their living by stealing resources. If she wants to get the flute back, she has no choice but to join them and complete a task. She must steal something from the warehouse. It turns out that by a terrible coincidence she steals the miners' control crosspiece. Max, the leader of the marauders, learns about the crosspiece and draws up a plan of an attack on the school to steal Phill's tablet and get a hold of his kingdom. Kira overhears Max's plan but blows her cover. Thus, a race begins. Kira must reach the school before the marauders do to warn her friends of the coming danger.
