A trial by combat begins to determine the next ruler, with each bloodline sending three champions. Prince Cale, a speed-type merman, eagerly volunteers for the first round. He is immediately confronted by a massive, gravity-wielding opponent who mocks his slender build and threatens him with a hammer. During the brutal clash, an onlooker points out Cale's tail is his weak point, a strategy later echoed by a concerned voice to Princess Elena as she faces the same foe. The opponent tries to goad Elena, but she seizes her moment, countering his taunt with a decisive, lethal strike.
