The robot is then overcome by Goliath, and Pazu rescues Sheeta while Muska obtains the amulet. Meanwhile, the robot seizes Sheeta, but when struck by Muska's artillery, it retaliates against the fortress until Sheeta orders it to cease, losing her amulet in the process. Sheeta, retained by Muska, recites an apotropaic verse and unexpectedly activates the amulet and the robot, who proceeds to destroy the fortress, while Pazu and Dola's pirates embark in winged 'flaptors' to rescue Sheeta themselves. Dola initially refuses but, after a moment of thought, reluctantly accepts and cuts Pazu loose and immediately leaves for the fortress of Tedis. Pazu asks Dola to join her pirates to save her. Upon hearing that airship, Goliath will be taking off with Sheeta to find Laputa, Dola and her sons prepare to intercept and capture the crystal. She also explains that once Muska has what he wants from her, he will most likely kill her. After being questioned harshly and rudely, Dola explains to Pazu that Sheeta was forced to tell him this to protect him. Distraught, Pazu returns to his own house, only to be dragged forcibly inside the house by Dola's sons and tied up. To prevent this from happening, Sheeta orders Pazu to leave for his own safety. Muska then threatens to have the military kill Pazu if Sheeta refuses to cooperate. Later, Muska shows Sheeta a dormant Laputan robot and reveals his knowledge of her secret name, which he interprets as that of a Laputan royal line.
