After a series of fierce battles, the chapter ends with a "Championship ship match" . This is the first time anyone has ever faced off against each other in a real combat situation. It's a big deal, and Arthur is psyched. He's learned a lot in the last two months, and he's ready to rumble with the best of them. Arthur tells us that he and Zekka are going to fight one-on-one, and that it's important that the kids get a chance too, because if they get hit, they're the ones who'll be hurt. Arthur says that he'd rather have a girl in his life than a guy who's got a crush on him. He also says that his bunnies were killed in the bathroom the other day, so he had to have a snack. He says that's because he was so hungry that he didn't have time to eat. He tells Arthur that he lost to Zekka on Leviath two months ago, but he insists that he won't lose this time around. He compares himself to a "vine on the battlefield" , which is a reference to the fact that one blow can't kill a person. Arthur wonders if he'll have the timing to take on Zekka's "electromagonic netic sonic reverse punch," which sounds like it'll kill Zekka. Arthur promises that even if he dies, he'm not going to be ashamed of himself.
