Summary
Kobayashi uses her secret technique.

Plot
Tohru and Kobayashi notice the abrupt change in behavior from the dragons around them. Then, two of them charge towards Tohru and Kobayashi, but are held back by Fafnir and Elma in their human forms. Elma urges Tohru and Kobayashi to escape and let them deal with the dragons. Kobayashi wonders why they arrived in the dragon world when they have errands to run in the human world; both say that Takiya filled in for them. Kobayashi and Tohru immediately realize that Azad might be putting Kanna in more danger; they leave, thanking Elma and Fafnir for their help.

Tohru flies Kobayashi to Kimun's palace, but upon arriving, both notice that Kimun himself has knocked the palace down while in dragon form. Kobayashi also notices, to her shock, a fallen Kanna. Kobayashi hurries to tend to Kanna, then notices Azad sitting on Kimun. She accuses Azad of controlling the dragons using the dragon ball, and also tells him that he has not been able to control all the dragons. Azad is shocked that a human with barely limited knowledge of magic knows this. Kobayashi accuses Azad of playing with Kimun's parental instincts to bring him what he needs.

Azad wastes no time and has Kimun round on Kobayashi; Tohru responds by blocking Kimun, allowing Kobayashi to move Kanna back to a safer distance. While Tohru and Kimun clash, Tohru believes neither of them were willing to. Kimun and Tohru's beams collide, causing massive destruction felt by Elma as well. Kanna sees this and laments that she wasn't able to reach out to her father. Kobayashi pets Kanna's head, then builds up a ball of energy with her other hand. Kanna recognizes this as the secret magic technique.

Meanwhile, Kimun and Tohru continue to fight, with Azad still on Kimun when he notices what Kobayashi is doing. The ball of energy she is building up becomes as big as Kimun himself. Azad claims Kobayashi is trying to use up all of her magic at once, which Kobayashi confirms because she sees no purpose in having magical powers after this. But she knows she must knock some sense into a father who has attacked his own daughter. Tohru hears this, and deforms into her human form to aid Kobayashi with the ball of energy. Kanna volunteers as well. Azad tries to have Kimun destroy the trio, but Kimun is held back. Knowing he is at a disadvantage, Azad tries to escape but can't, due to Tohru scattering her magic while fighting Kimun in dragon form.

With the ball of energy complete, Tohru leaves the rest to Kobayashi by levitating her in the air and giving her control of the ball. Just then, Kanna remembers what she said to Kobayashi about her father, back at the park. Just as Kobayashi is about to launch the ball of energy at Kimun, Kanna cries loudly.
