Summary[]
Kiyo stares at Waig while he tells him to get out of his way. Kiyo declines to move and says he will not let Waig lay a finger on the children, which causes him to laugh. Waig tries attacking Kiyo, but he tactfully dodges the attack. Waig tries to tell Kiyo that the children are Mamodo, but Kiyo interjects and tells him he already knows that causing Waig confusion. Waig continues attacking Kiyo. Still, he manages to dodge them all. Gill tells Waig to stop wasting time and that they must go after Zelie and the others. Waig refuses and tells Gill to shut up, telling him he needs to land a single blow on Kiyo. Waig manages to punch Kiyo, knocking him to the floor. As Waig and Gill try to escape, Kiyo grabs hold of Waig's leg, which causes him to fall. Gill notices that Kiyo pinpointed the exact moment when both of Waig's feet left the ground mid-run, impressing him. After Waig stands up, he tries running away again but falls to the ground after it is revealed that Kiyo tied his leg to a beam with a rope. Gill continues to try to analyze Kiyo as he identifies more of Kiyo's strategic moves.
Kiyo questions Gill and Waig about what they are, claiming they are different from other Mamodos he knows. Waig tells Kiyo that he is unsure of what he is but to call him "Waig." A mysterious figure is shown arranging plates on a wall in an unknown location. Waig then proclaims that he is a "card" and that his name was written on it. Waig attacks Kiyo rapidly and lands another hit on him. Kiyo stands up, and Gill deciphers that Kiyo was a partner to a Mamodo during the previous Mamodo Battle. Waig asks what that was, and Gill tells him the story of the Mamodo Battle to decide the King. Gill then questions Kiyo on who his partner is, and he responds that Zatch Bell, the King of the Mamodo World, is. Gill becomes ecstatic while Waig tells Kiyo that Zatch is dead, admitting defeat, abandoning his people, and leaving them all to die. The remains of a destroyed Mamodo World are shown, with a giant hole and various chunks of the geography missing, with the Crown lying on the floor damaged. This enrages Kiyo, who tells Waig that he must be lying, as Zatch would never do that. Waig reveals a briefcase with four Spell Bottles with various elements inside them. The spell bottle with a lightning bolt enclosed begins to shine, and Waig casts Zakeruga, surprising Kiyo. The Zakeruga appears to hit Kiyo, and Zelie (in the car with Zahra) sees the building explode from a distance. She calls out to Kiyo, but Zahra pulls Zelie back into the car, worried that Kiyo may not have made it out alive. Waig and Gill are shown again, with Waig back in his original form. They reveal that they did not find Kiyo's body and had no leads on the whereabouts of Zelie and the team. Kiyo is then seen being rescued by Mippy, dragging him by the arm. Kiyo begins to cry and promises to do everything he can to save them.
