Bones went to the edge of the dome and looked down at the water. There was no sign, but he knew Ria was cunning and ordered search patrols. "Find her, fools!" 

Ria was still in the water. She had activated her amulet and waited until the squads were out of eyesight, but she didn't have much time left. 

On the Chaos 

Cece knelt at Zak's side. "We will find the antidote, I will give you my word. But you must not give up, please." She left the room and went to the others, where on the table there was a map of Vapir. Cece stared at it, thoughtfully. "Okay, I have a plan that could possibly work... So, we do the following!"

Ria had to come to the surface. She hid behind a pillar and thought desperately. But she didn't want to go without proof she was safe. So, she sneaked back into his fortress and this time, luck seemed to be with her. Skullivar was in a trance and that was her chance to retrieve the Planetarium that was kept in a small box. Without complications, she was able to rip the artefact out of its box, but she had underestimated Skullivar. "Do you really think I wouldn't notice? You're moving in my territory, nothing misses me." He grabbed Ria by the collar. "Are you sure?" Skullivar frowned and suddenly the Chaos came through the window. 

While Skullivar was distracted, Ria kicked herself away and approached Cece. "That took time!" Cece grinned. "Well, that's what a rescue always looks like." Ria shone her eyes with a grin. Now Bones and his entourage entered the room. "Oh, time to go." The Chaos gave them fire protection until everyone was on board and they made off. "Don't stand around here, you idiots!" 

When Cece was looking for a portal, she noticed a small plant - the first thing on the list. "Ria! U-turn!" Cece jumped off the board and brought the plant back. "Now, we are one step closer to healing." The Demoniac began the chase. "Uhh... Ria? Fire?" shouted Caramba. "Wait!" The large ship was only a few metres away. "Ria!" Suddenly, smoke rose from the Demoniac and the ship stopped. Ria grinned contentedly. "Somehow, I feel like you're not entirely innocent of it," Cece said. Ria raised her hand with a laugh. "I confess to being guilty!" 

Sadly, Ria looked at the sea. 

C: "What happened to your parents, I'm really sorry..." 

R: "You would have really liked them." 

C: "We will put everything in order." 

R: "I don't want to lose Zak the same way I lost them." 

C: "They also died of Fog Fever?" 

R: "How am I supposed to save Zak if I can't even help my fellow human beings? We've only got 4 days left." 

Cece didn't know how to help her. It was a pretty tricky situation. 

Ria kept her brother company. "I know you can't hear me, but it's all going to be good again. Mum and Dad would certainly be proud of you, I'm sure." 

Cece just wanted to knock, then heard Ria talking to Zak and listened at the door. "You're not going to die, you're the Chosen One and you're going to save us all."
