Al saves a girl named Maron, who has barely escaped from Victoria island. She claims that Zakteman and Zakums are attacking Victoria island searching for the World Tree's seeds. Al gathers Barrow, Gallus and Anji in hopes of going to Victoria island to save it and revive the World Tree using the seeds. But they suddenly learn that Al is Grande's son and refuse to go to Victoria island, as they do not trust Al, since he is a human. Even Nina refuses. Al decides to go alone and his mother gives him Grande's sword. On the other hand, Maron asks Barrow, Gallus and Anji to lend their power to Al and believe in him and mysteriously disappears.
