Esteban and his companions await the first rays of the rising sun to revive the Solaris
. That's when Alvarez and his men arrive. The Solaris sails and succeeds in sowing the troop of soldiers
. But at a bend of rocks, our heroes meet a Spanish galleon, the San Miguel
, with Gaspard and Gomez aboard
. The Spanish ship shoots the Solaris. Esteban unintentionally pulls on a lever which is actually a control, used to guide a solar panel delivering a huge amount of energy through a light beam
. This ray incidentally puts fire to the San Miguel which divert the ship of the Spaniards ship
.
Soon after, Esteban sees in the distance, on the coast, a column of smoke: the village of Tohaka burns
! Without hesitation, all decide to rescue the Incas. On the coast, there is a fight without mercy, between the Spaniards and the Incas
. The situation is in favor of the Spaniards
when a beam of light, coming from the solaris
, dazzles the Spanish soldiers and makes them flee. So, our friends land on the coast and find Tohaka, hurt
. But the Spaniards leave no respite to the children; indeed, the San Miguel is already back
and Gomez does not take long to take possession of the Solaris. Gomez then make a deal with Esteban: the Solaris will be render in exchange for Zia. She accepts courageously and promises Esteban not to speak. Pedro accompanies Zia to the Spanish galleon
.
Meanwhile, Tao sneaks quietly aboard the Solaris
to return to the cockpit. The despicable Gomez plans to bomb the Inca village, despite the word he gave. That's when Zia escapes
and joins Tao in the Solaris cockpit.
Mad with rage, Gomez wants at all costs to make the boldness of Zia pay to the inhabitants of the Inca village. But Tao is faster: in one leap, he managed to operate a strange red lever that drives the solar panels
and explodes the solar vessel into a thousand shards
. The San Miguel is sunk and cannon shots do not reach their target. Alas, the Solaris was completely destroyed with the explosion
but, more important, Tao and Zia are alive ...
