He sees a glowing girl, Arcadia, running towards the mines where he and his dad used to work. He follows her, only to be ambushed by Ulysses Dragonblood and Arcadia together. Ulysses realizes that Cannonball is not the person that's been tracking. Then the real threat, Argos the Hunter, a member of the Sword, appears and attacks Ulysses.
