After meeting Zed, Zico came to the realization that he had made a mistake thinking Sara was the chosen Shard Caster of Amil Gaoul. It was not Sara who was chosen, but her unborn child, Zed, growing in her womb, who was the chosen one. When Zed attempts to follow his mother, Zico intervenes and blocks his path. After exchanging angry words, he and Zed battle each other, and Zico knocks Zed unconscious with a swift blow to the gut. He then locks Zed up in a cell. After Zed awakens, Zico tries to explain that Sara has been possessed by the power that the Amil Gaoul possesses. As he was responsible for making her a Shard Caster, it is his responsibility to stop her rampage.
