=== In the Demon Realm ===

[[Denif]] informs them that the Dark El that [[Hennon]] had used was no longer a viable means to getting to the Demon Realm. They brainstorm ideas, but are met with dead ends. They realized that the El functioned much like a seal between Elrios and the Demon Realm, [[Ara]] brings up seeing something below the Large El. Looking below, they find an ancient seal. [[Denif]] refuses to break the seal, but decides they could pry it open temporarily just long enough to let the El Search Party through.

Inside the barrier, Laby and [[Gaia|Bellonde]] are isolated from each other. Remembering her teacher telling her that she must focus on leaving the barrier. Nisha begins to react and then takes on the form of [[Laby's Friend]], Laby begins to remember it. Having severed the memory of her friend's death, she wonders why it is here and notices the gaps in her memory. Distorted memories of her journey thus far appear and torment her, false memories of [[Mao]] and [[Calonne]], the port, and her friend. Unable to process the emotions, Laby runs till she winds up where she'd first met Bellonde. She pleads to him that she wants to leave, Bellonde tells her to go back to the place where these memories all began. She wakes up deep in the Black Forest, her friend appears before her, she expresses joy that they could be together and have fun forever but it transforms into formless monster and attacks her. All the memories of her friend come flooding back, both good and bad. She learns of Nisha's creation, and how she'd severed her sad memories of her friend. She realized what Nisha was, her sadness. She feels glad she finally knew what Nisha was, but she still feels scared of the sadness she once felt. She however decides she would face the future with Nisha.

=== Sage of Fluone ===

At the end of the tunnel, Eve detects that only sea lied beyond. The door in front of them began to move on its own, revealing itself to be an A.M.P.S type robot itself. Once the group managed to defeat the robot, Eve detected a new life form approaching. [[Winster]] had already spotted the group and had considered destroying the tunnel entirely to rid the potential threads, however he meets to greet them on the possibility they may ally, feigning ignorance of Lu's identity. After Laby makes mention of [[Calonne]], Winster decides to trust the group and divulges both the purpose of the tunnel and some history about the Nous and Garen.

=== Deal for Return ===

Under [[Winster]]'s condition, they go to his village to hear them out. They take Winster's submarine, but it crashes in an air pocket of [[Rigomor]]. As they landed, local Troshes stole the energy core of the submarine, Winster requests the group help retrieve the energy core back while he stays and called for help, he does plea them not to harm the local wildlife. While on their mission they ran into Winster's son, [[Haivan]], who was also in the region searching for something. Haivan guides the group to the nest, they enter the nest and encounter the Troshes. The group managed to retrieve the energy core without excessive violence, however Haivan was not so lenient. They return with the energy core and the news that they abided by his conditions. Winster then bows down to Steel Queen [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]], revealing he was testing if Lu would be their ally. He reveals their plan to revive [[Aegirp]]. Winster offers the use of the portal in the White-Ghost Land in exchange for Lu's cooperation, the group compromise and agree to work alongside Lu to assist in reviving Aegirp first. However both [[Add]] and [[Eve]] request to see the portal before anything is decided.
