Summary[]
While travelling through a blizzard, Blue and Toboe struggle to keep up. Hige and Tsume are able to convince Kiba to stop in order to rest and wait out the storm in a nearby shelter. The others want to rest till morning, but Kiba refuses to stay put any longer and goes ahead on his own.
While driving through the blizzard, Cher tells Hubb how Cheza was created, what her purpose is, and how Lord Orkham acquired her.
At Darcia's Keep, Cheza is still laying on the floor where Darcia had thrown her; he is still mourning Hamona's death. Cheza awakens when Kiba enters the Keep.
The rest of the pack arrive not too far behind Kiba to find that Cher and the others are also there.
Kiba reaches the room where Cheza is, while Hige leads the others after Cheza's scent and Hubb's allergies help the humans figure out which direction to go. When Cheza tries to go to Kiba, Darcia throws her aside once again. Kiba and Darcia fight briefly as Darcia asks what Kiba expects to find in Paradise. Kiba tells him he simply wants to find a future.
Quent arrives and tries to shoot Kiba, but Blue jumps in front of his gun. Dozens of Jaguara's airships arrive and bombard the Keep with laser-fire. Cher and Hubb are able to get Cheza out, but they are captured outside by the black armored troops along with Blue, who tried to help them. The other wolves get out, but Kiba runs back for Cheza, chasing after the airships. Darcia stands on the edge of his Keep with Lady Hamona in his arms, smiling at her as the Keep is destroyed in a final burst of light, leaving nothing but a mound behind. The other wolves find no sign of Kiba.
