Cattin had dragged both of them into a dark room. She knew the risk for helping them escape, but she didn't want to let them turn into freaks. She looks in a book of dark magic which was Guenee's grimoire. She knows what ritual will be performed on them but not how it will be done so she wants to prepare to sabotage it.

Cattin: Ok.... Blood of ....dragon. Curse.... of Lycanthropy. I can make a cure. And for Klonoa....

Cattin is sicken by what she reads and knows she can't stop it indirectly so she has to free him and explain what is going on. She goes to the room and whispers into Klonoa's ear while he is still in his forced magical slumber

Cattin: Guenee is planning to do horrible stuff to you two.... She is powerless only for a moment after she preforms a ritual.... I can undo her ritual.... so please... just wait.... then strike her down....

Klonoa's dream

Klonoa is back in the world and the mist has returned. Klonoa hated this mist. He had no idea what lurked in the mist and in this dream he had no ring or weapons, but he could sense the monsters coming for him. Klonoa's stomach felt like it was going to burst open and the pain was unbearable. Suddenly Klonoa hears Cattin's voice and her message gave him some lucidity. Klonoa has the feeling this message isn't from the dream and so he prepares.

Back in the world Guenee wakes up as a centipede with an eye grafted on its end crawls into her eye socket.

Guenee: Cattin~ Have you been a naughty girl? You have touched my grimoire.

Cattin: Y-yes.... I.... wanted to k-know more about what you do....

Guenee: It matters not if you are lying or are genuine. It is a good thing to experience it now. But reading is not actual experience. Come and watch.

Guenee gets up from her rocking chair and walks over to the room. Klonoa and Carl are slowly waking up. Guenee takes out a Chalice that is filled with thick blood that squirms and looks almost alive.

Guenee: Listen well Cattin. This is the incantation: The change is brought from the sin of drinking that which is taboo. The blood of Kukutra, the vile dragon born from one of the the worst taboos-

Cattin covers her ears knowing that simply hearing these profanities of life and good itself would corrupt her. Guenee pours the blood down Carl's throat as he flails and struggles. Klonoa jumps into action and kicks her head sending Guenee spirling to the ground.

Guenee: You should still be under my spell.

Cattin slides the sword stuck in its sheath into Klonoa's hands

Guenee: NAUGHTY CHILD! Do you think this is a game? One way or another it end with the same result.

Guenee's bones seem to grow out and were too big for her body and so it ripped through and she was like a massive  hound with bone visible. The inside of the room was too small for Klonoa to move around now that Guenee took up most of the room. She claws at Klonoa who blocks but he misjudged how strong she was in this form and dislocated his shoulder.

Klonoa: Gha!!!

Cattin: S-stay still....

Cattin grabs Klonoa's shoulder and moves it back in place. Klonoa is surprised with her strength as well. Klonoa forms a wind blade and he focus. He waits for an attack to launch a counter attack. He then slashes at the monstrosity but it doesn't seem to make any lasting damage. Klonoa then had an Idea. He changed the form of wind blade around the sheath to turn into a hammer head and slams it into its leg. The beast's leg cracks and it falls to the ground. Klonoa rushes in but gets knocked back. Klonoa jumps over a spiky bone tail attack and cripples another leg. Klonoa keeps smashing but Guenee doesn't seem like she is going down.
