Back at Tolbosk, Nicholas was sitting in the family room reading a newspaper and smoking his cigarette. Then Alexandra came in the family room.
Alexandra: Nicky, where are the girls?
Nicholas: They are with Conan and his friends. They are going to rid the world of this darkness. So the girls are going to help them.
Alexandra: What?
Nicholas: Alix, they are going to be fine and besides they are safe with Conan.
Alexandra: Nicky! Why?
Nicholas: Don't worry.
Alexandra: And you're not?
Nicholas: Have faith, Alix.
Then Alexandra left the family room in a huff. Nicholas kept on reading the newspaper. Meanwhile on the Hornet, Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia had learn how to tie knot the ropes, doing the sails, and taking the wheel. They even swab the deck.
Olga: Wow this is a lot of work.
Tatiana: You're telling me.
Marie: I didn't realize how hard the work is.
Anastasia: Well I like it.
Olga, Tatiana and Marie: Oh Nastaya you crazy imp!
Meanwhile at Tolbosk, Nicholas was still in the family room reading the Bible after he finished the newspaper. Then he heard a scream. He jumped up and ran to where the scream was. The screaming came from Alexandra. Alexandra and Nicholas was in Alexei's room.
Nicholas: What's wrong Alix?
Alexandra: Nicky baby is gone!
Nicholas: What?
Alexandra: He says that he is going to meet up with the others, it says so in his letter.
Alexandra handed Nicholas the letter and Nicholas reads the letter.
Nicholas: I didn't tell him that he can go.
Alexandra: Well he can hurt himself, Nicky!
Nicholas: Sunny, I am sure Conan wouldn't let him fight.
Alexandra: That barbarian!
Then Alexandra left Nicholas in Alexei's room. Nicholas stood there for a while and he left his son's room. On the Hornet, Tamara was teaching OTMA how to fight unarmed.
Olga: What are we doing?
Tamara: I'm teaching you that you can fight without weapons.
Tatiana: I thought we are going to fight with weapons.
Tamara: We get to that later in the training.
Marie: So what are we going to learn?
Anastasia: Yeah what style?
Tamara: Martial arts - Judo.
So Tamara taught OTMA Judo. Back at Tolbosk, Nicholas and Alexandra were minding their own business. Nicholas was reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Alexandra was sewing. Suddenly Ukafa, Lucius, Remo, the Hykranian woman, and Akhoun burst in. Ukafa and Akhoun grabs Nicholas and Alexandra. While Lucius, Remo and the Hykranian woman were searching for the children. Then the three of them came back.
Ukafa: Well where they are?
Remo: They're gone.
Ukafa: What do you mean gone?
Nicholas: They left, so they wouldn't see your ugly faces!
Lucius: Shut up you!
Lucius hits Nicholas and Alexandra gasps.
Hykranian woman: Now what?
Akhoun: Lets feed them to the dweller.
Ukafa: No! We are taking them to Khalar Zym!
So Ukafa, Lucius, Remo, Akhoun and the Hykranian woman took Nicholas and Alexandra to the Acheronian city capital to Khalar Zym.
