Plot synopsis[]
With the Celestial Chariot on fire, Xialun Qing remembers Yun Pyeong-Gyu's instructions on how to proceed in the event of an emergency and jumps out of the balloon before deploying her parachute. She lands safely on Monkey Island, though her parachute gets caught in a tree, leaving Qing stuck. Soon enough, a group of natives find and cautiously approach her, causing Qing to scream in terror.
Meanwhile, aboard the Fenghuang, John Young angrily confronts Yun for his invention having nearly killed Qing, but the scientist remains silent, still shocked at what he witnessed. Edward Kenway tells John to calm down, understanding his concern for Qing's safety but at the same pointing out it was her choice to board the Celestial Chariot.
After Yun returns to his senses, he apologizes to John for failing to test the balloon's stability and claims that the blame for Qing's current predicament lies entirely with him. John forgives Yun and Edward promises that they will find and rescue Qing, prompting a crying John to hug Edward and call him a "true friend". Meanwhile, Shimazu Saito locates the place where Qing landed on Monkey Island and informs the others, prompting the crew to sail towards the island.
As the Fenghuang approaches Monkey Island, Rajah spots the ship from his fort and orders his men to fire on it. Rupiya realizes they have sailed into another "boneyard of sails", similar to the one from the Paracels, but Edward is undeterred and devises a plan to have himself, John, and several other crew members sneak onto Monkey Island while the others distract the native warriors. With that, he leaves Saito in charge of the Fenghuang and boards a rowboat alongside John and several volunteers.
While the Fenghuang attacks the fort, Edward and the others arrive on Monkey Island and find Qing's parachute, though no sight of Qing herself. After noticing footmarks on the ground, Edward decides to use his Eagle Vision to track them. Meanwhile, the Fenghuang's crew manage to escape from the fort by hiding in a swamp, though Saito begins to suspect something is amiss. Unbeknownst to her, Rajah's warriors are in the nearby woods watching the ship and its crew.
