In this short scene, we are introduced to a number of characters who have appeared in previous chapters of the book. The first two characters are named "Yuma" and "Kala." Yuma is the leader of the pack, and she tells the others that she is the only one who knows how to use the staff. She tells them that the enemy has a bomb that will destroy everything in its path, and that they must find a way to get to the hideout where the bomb is hidden. Yuma tells the other characters that the signal from the ship has vanished, and the only thing that is left to do is destroy the hideout. The other characters are shocked to learn that the bomb has been found, and they are horrified to discover that it is on the ground.
