Soon after he awoke he was spotted by two government officials, they tried speaking to him but he couldn’t understand them. Eventually they decided to simply chain him down with the rest, leaving him to die in the sunlight. Nomad resisted them, trying to fight them. Unfortunately his torment prevented him from touching them, and the action drew the attention of a [[Charred]]. He and Nomad fought, but eventually Nomad was overwhelmed when a second Charred showed up. After taking a hit to his side Nomad was left dazed, and the government officials chained him to the ground. While the Canticlites were firing up their engines Nomad summoned [[Auxiliary]] as a crowbar, breaking through the chain. He then made Auxiliary into a hook and chain, attaching it to one of the hoverbikes.

He pulled himself on top of a box and was faced with a female charred, and he quickly realized that the Cinder King expected him to die in the area. Realizing this, he quickly fled and summoned his Shardblade in the mud as a crowbar, which he used to defend himself from the charred, eventually managing to disarm her. Following the disarming, SigzilNomad fled up a pile of boxes and found one of the prisoners sitting at the top as well.{{book ref|tsm|3}} From the boxes, he watched the rest of the arena.

Not long later, the female charred approached him again, and he managed to trick his Torment and pin her to the floor. Boasting to the Cinder King about his accomplishment.
