The captured Twin Brother is imprisoned. Just as things seem hopeless, he discovers a friend in the Chief Archer's Daughter. After sharing a tender moment, she sets him free and then expresses her flirtatious desires through a touching performance using the Twins' flutes.

Back inside the lair of the Archers, the Counselor's son oversees construction of the massive Death Machine that will process the mined ore into deadly weapons. Lifts rise at the front of the void to reveal the captives from the Empire, now slaves housed in round hamster wheel-like cages. The Boy is brought into the lair and thrown into one of these cages. The Chief Archer's Daughter comes to see the Boy. She reveals the flutes given to her by her father as a souvenir of the raid on the Empire. They are the Twins' flutes. The Archer's Daughter gives the Boy a flute and he plays a sweet, evocative melody for her. She is enchanted by the Boy's song and leans toward him. The Boy sneaks a kiss. The Archer's daughter is smitten, she has fallen in love with the Boy but she is conflicted. Their love is forbidden and she has a duty to uphold to the Archers. After a moment of hesitation she opens the cage and allows the Boy to escape. He leaves her with a kiss and gives her his flute as a token of his love for her.

Love fills the Archer's Daughter's heart for the first time and she performs a beautiful dance with the flute (an intricate baton manipulation routine).

The Counselor's son has secretly witnessed the entire scene. He collapses to his knees in anguish; his heartbreak galvanizes his resolve to destroy the Twins and the last remaining hope for the Empire.
