Maddigan's Quest

Embarking on their annual run, the Fantasia are attacked by road rats: their food is stolen and Ferdy is shot. Yves states that they must return to Solis for food and medical attention for Ferdy, but Maddie reveals they cannot, and must continue. Continuing, the Fantasia find a small settlement, where they can get food and medical help in exchange for a show. At camp, Garland meets two strange boys, who seem to be being pursued by two men. Who are these boys, and what do they want?

Travelling onward to Newton, the Fantasia are stopped by a roadblock set up by Ida and her gang of Hillfolk. Threatening to crush the Fantasia vehicles if they do not comply, Ida demands that for safe passage Timon, Eden and Jewel must be handed over. Realising that the boys are putting the Fantasia at risk, Garland confronts Timon, who describes the future of Solis, from where he, Eden and Jewel have come.
