Kiefer appeared to be more skilled in controlling lightning. He hugged Shinux goodbye, disappointed that he couldn't bring her. He attacked Reality with lightning as they tried to escape. Kiefer was amazed by Stella's palace. Kiefer was sent with Kypharontina to train on Kyphaerone. Kyph told Kiefer about how Kyphaerites live. Upon arrival to the island, Kiefer was taken captive.

### Part Five: The Darkness

Kiefer yelled at the Kyphaerites, and even threw lightning bolts at them. Kyph gave him lodestone, which had meat concealed in it. He broke the lodestone to get to it. Kiefer discovered his power over lodestones, by making the particals reform around the canister of meat. Kiefer argued with a guard, then was knocked out and brought to the General. The General mentioned the Alma X, and how his mother had been brought to the Pool of Souls. Kiefer, at that moment discoverd another ability: he could see magnetic fields. He saw there was a tunnel below Kyphaerone. The General then mentioned that the Third Temple was his. The Heir's voice interrupted. Kiefer, desperate, began to notice how the General talked differently.

He was taken away, and woke up in a cave. After a while, electric sparks began to form words. He was given water and food. Then, the lightning began to teach him. While Kiefer was practicing manipulating magnetic fields, he blacked out. The Thief showed he and his siblings visions of their siblings escaping their islands. Before the Darkness struck, the lightning revealed it was controlled by the General. Kiefer ascended the tunnel, and flew out onto Kyphaerone's surface. Kiefer blasted through Kyph's nemesis' gloss, performing a feat. Her nemesis flew away, saying he had to join with the Alma X. Then, the Queen's servant gave him the flute to summon the Kyphaerites.

At the healing tower, Kiefer helped Jamie (aka magical nurse) heal Samson. He and Jamie told him about what had happened on Herbil.

### Part Six: A Dove For A Shield

Kiefer wore yellow robes and a lodestone crown, with lightning-like cloth strips on it. Kiefer helped create shelters out of lodestone. When interrogated by the Heir, Kiefer insulted him, like with Iekaantared. Kiefer berated Samson for his recklessness with the Heir. At the village, he was surprised by his similarities with Alightna. Kiefer and Alightna played catch with lightning. During the battle with the Dark Count, Kiefer used his crown to fire multiple bolts at him. When they returned to the present, Kiefer used lodestones to fly. Kiefer used the flute to summon Kyphaerites. Kiefer supported Jamie, along with Samson. Upon arrival to their home, Kiefer teased Miles about how he had kissed the couches last time. Kiefer helped with the preparations for Maddie's party. He and Samson made her a shadownix head.
