==Chapter 2==
[[Bastille]] is doing some weapons training with [[Alcatraz]] in the Royal Weapons Testing Facility. He detonates various [[teddy bears]] that fling him about the room. Bastille is in a sour mood because she can't participate in the war. Even with their victory over [[Kangchenjunga Sarekgjakka|She Who Cannot Be Named]] and a traitorous [[Crystin]] [[Archedis|Knight]], now that there is no treaty being negotiated, the [[Librarian]]s are attacking [[Mokia]] with full strength. They both want something exciting to happen.

As they look out the window, they see the ''[[Hawkwind]]'' flying away, the aircraft that [[Attica Smedry|Alcatraz's father]] was getting ready to use for his secret mission. It appears that he has left without saying goodbye.
Back at Keep Smedry, [[Leavenworth Smedry|Grandpa]] reads a note from Attica:
| Attica Smedry's farewell note
}}
Bastille is aghast at his cold treatment of his son, and Grandpa tries to cheer him up. Alcatraz knows where he is going: after [[Shasta]] to get the [[Incarna]] book she stole from the [[Royal Archives (Not a Library!)]]. [[Kazan Smedry|Kaz]] suddenly shows up, covered with soot. He's been lost for a longer time than usual. He comes back with the news that [[Tuki Tuki]], the capitol of Mokia, is under siege, but they already know this. Some of the members of the [[Council of Kings]] are dragging their feet (probably due to side treaties with the Librarians) and the Knights of Crystallia cannot get involved in political conflicts. They can only defend Smedry's or monarchs, and King [[Talakimallo]]

{{anchor|Chapter 4.5}}
Alcatraz barges in on a meeting of the Council of Kings and announces that he wants to take a vacation. After a couple of tempting suggestions, he insists that he wants to go someplace really exciting: Tuki Tuki. Grandpa drops a hint about the Knights having to protect him there, then they run from the chamber. A moment later they find themselves pursued by at least fifty Knights. If they can catch Alcatraz before he leaves, they can lock him up in protective custody. The Knights quickly catch up, so Grandpa joins their side, chasing Bastille and Alcatraz, enabling him to engage his Talent and make them arrive late to the pursuit.
== Chapter 4 ½ ==
Alcatraz and Bastille run up a set of stairs. Alcatraz breaks the stairs, keeping the Knights away for the moment, but also trapping them on the upper level. Kaz suddenly appears and tells them there is a vehicle waiting for them at Keep Smedry. [[Aydee Ecks Smedry|Aydee Ecks]], another Smedry cousin, is the pilot. The Knights are on them again, having found another way to their level, so Kaz engages his Talent so they can escape. Unfortunately, his Talent has been erratic lately, and they end up in the cave of a baledragon, who starts to attack. Kaz engages his Talent again, and Alcatraz sees a very brief vision of the Incarna wheel. They are now inside the dragon
==Chapter 42==
After a supposedly long, exciting, event-filled flight, the team finds themselves hanging upside down from some vines after having been shot down. Kaz scouts the area and finds that they are outside Tuki Tuki. As Alcatraz gathers information on the group's assets, he notices that Grandpa has slipped a couple more pairs of lenses into his jacket: another set of Courier's lenses and a set of Bestower's lenses. Alcatraz uses his boosting power to talk to Grandpa through the Courier's lenses, and he tells Alcatraz that he needs to use the Communicator's Glass in the palace to call the Mokian embassy in [[Nalhalla]] to convince the Knights that he's really there. They proceed to the capitol and find three (six, after Aydee counts them erroneously) giant robots and a large Librarian army camped outside. Kaz offers to use his Talent to get past them and the glass dome protecting the city, but Alcatraz has another idea.
==Chapter 144==
Alcatraz keeps watch, thinking about his father and mother. He worries that he is the reason they broke up even though Bastille insists that it isn't his fault. She teaches Alcatraz a little about the Bestower's Lenses, and he tries them on, causing Bastille to be hungry instead of Alcatraz. He rejoins the group and they
==Act V, Scene III==
The Librarians are on full alert, but they are confused as to what exactly caused the disturbance. Alcatraz creates a diversion by firing a whole row rifles using his Talent, but eventually some of the Librarians spot them, and they are attacked. Bastille and Kaz start fighting with their weapons, but Alcatraz feels useless until he remembers that he's wearing the Bestower's Lenses. He focuses on a Librarian and starts punching himself, transferring the effect to the attacker. They manage to break free of the camp and run toward the glass dome,
==Chapter A+==
Mallo explains that he sent his daughter in his stead, disguised as him using Disguiser's Lenses. The royal lineage is preserved that way, and he can remain behind and fight, as is his right. He was about to surrender to the Librarians just as Alcatraz arrived because the Shielder's Glass is about to give out. Alcatraz promises to get more help and urges the king to hold out a little longer. Angola agrees that if there is a small chance to preserve the people, they should try. Mallo promises to consider the offer after Alcatraz uses the Communicator's Glass.
While they wait for the glass to arrive, Bastille and Alcatraz argue about whether they should encourage them to keep fighting.
==Chapter 1010==
On top of the wooden palisade, they observe the robots driving tall glowing rods into the ground around the city. Aydee speculates that they are some sort of glass device, but Kaz notes that the order of the Shattered Lens is running the war, and they eschew silimatic technology. Alcatraz powers up his Communicator's Lenses to talk to Grandpa, who can only give vague promises about coming to help. Whatever the purpose of the rods, they are disruptive to Alcatraz's glass and the connection goes out. Once again, Mallo seriously considers surrender as the robots move to start throwing boulders again. Suddenly, a group of Librarian soldiers
==Chapter 24601==
The soldiers ask Alcatraz for orders: fight, or surrender, as the king was about to do. Alcatraz had thought it cowardly to surrender, but now that the lives of the Mokians are on his shoulders, it's not so easy to send them into battle. He decides to fight. They only need to hold out for seven more hours (until dawn) until help arrives. After making various orders, he is alone with Bastille. She encourages him and offers her assistance since she has been trained in matters of war both as a princess and a Crystin Knight. Steeled by her advice, he is ready to be king.

Bastille and Alcatraz rush to another breach in the city caused by tunneling Librarians. When they arrive, the skirmish is already over. Several Mokians are down and the Librarians seemed to surrender pretty quickly. The Mokians are exhausted and despondent, but Alcatraz convinces them to keep fighting against Librarian oppression, even if Mokia falls. He consults with his advisors ([[Mink]], [[Dink]], and [[Wink]]) who tell him

==Chapter Four Teens and a Pickle==
Bastille and others around the city stand on stilts watching for another Librarian tunnel. Alcatraz explains to Kaz that once a tunnel appears, everyone will clear the area so the Librarians can advance into the city away from the hole. Then six Mokian runners will use the tunnel to run out to the robots and knock them over with purple teddy bears. The dome only has about 15 minutes left before it breaks. While they wait for a tunnel to appear, Alcatraz shares his theory about the [[Incarna]] with Kaz. He believes that they wanted to make themselves Lenses, and that's how they got Talents, but only the Semdry line survived. Kaz figures that Alcatraz's parents wanted to find the secret to gaining Talents but disagreed on what to do with it. Bastille reports a disturbance in the ground nearby. They head that direction.
==Chapter 8675309==
As they run to the hole, Kaz convinces Alcatraz to let him be on the strike team. He can disappear once he's done, saving
==Chapter 16==
With one runner down and two robots remaining, Alcatraz sees the last runner about to fall as well. He sends out every bit of physical ability he can, but even that is not enough as he sees a row of rifles aimed at the runner. He sends his Breaking Talent as well, making the rifles explode. The runner manages to throw his teddy bear and the robot is

Alcatraz races away, grabbing his jacket and Lenses. He runs into [[Draulin]], Kaz, Aydee, and some Mokian soldiers. Draulin is there to evacuate Alcatraz; the rest of the Knights will stay to fight and die. They had not come originally even though they wanted to because they knew it was hopeless. The ro-bats smash through the glass dome allowing the rest of the army to pour into the city. Alcatraz rides off on the ''Owlport'' with the king and queen on board as well. Alcatraz remembers Bastille and commandeers the vessel, ordering it down to a camp outside the city. They land near the prisoner tent. While Kaz and Draulin deal with the guards, Alcatraz
==Chapter ∞ + 1==
Alcatraz awakes and asks his Grandpa what happened. All the Librarian weapons broke when the Breaking Talent was bestowed to the Knights through Bastille's Fleshstone. The Librarians have retreated and Alcatraz is a national hero. Grandpa asks when the Talents will come back; apparently, Alcatraz also broke the Smedry Talents. He feels nothing when he tries to break his bed frame. He doesn't know what he's done.
Alcatraz receives many Mokian visitors, thanking him for saving their city. Shasta visits and reveals that she stayed behind to be re-captured. She thinks that Attica has gone to the [[Highbrary]] (aka the Library of Congress) in Washington D.C., where there are some books in the [[Forgotten Language]]. Alcatraz decides to go with her, demanding that Grandpa be allowed to come along as well. He's
