After jumping out of the portal, remembering last time, Arle asked, "When are we? Somewhen safe?"
"Should be about 12 hours before the meteor impact~" Ecolo said. "Look up!"
The meteor was once again, right above them, leaking a black gas. However, this time, Arle didn't feel suffocated. "Is this the power of the Seraphim Orb?" she wondered.
"Maybe check~" Ecolo told her.
Arle brought out the Seraphim Orb, and it was glowing. She was mesmorised by it. "It... It must be protecting me on its own..."
"Well, guess that proves it's working!" Ecolo concluded.
"That's probably true..." Arle said. "But, uhh... How do we do this? Y'know... stop that meteor?"
"I... didn't think that far ahead, to be honest..." Ecolo admitted.
"Neither did I..." Arle said. "Now what?"
"Arle?!" someone shouted.
Arle groaned, while hiding the Seraphim Orb. They were supposed to be keeping unseen in the past. Was this going to affect the future?
"Arle... you're back?!" the voice belonged to Minotaur.
"Uhhhh..." Arle blanked out with this awkward reunion. "... hi?"
"I'm sorry..." Minotaur said, "...but I don't think we'll be alive much longer..."
"I know," Arle said. "That's why I'm here."
"Moo?" Minotaur cried, surprised. "What do you mean?"
"I'm here to break that meteor," Arle said.
"How??" Minotaur asked.
Arle paused for a while. "I have no idea."
"We're figuring out a plan~" Ecolo suddenly said, while reappearing.
"Moo!" Minotaur yelped in shock. "W-What's that?"
"Don't worry~" Ecolo assured him. "You won't remember me in a week."
"W-what?" Minotaur said.
"It would take too long to explain," Arle said. "For now, we need to find a way to break that meteor. Maybe we could jump to get to it?"
"It's still outside the planet's atmosphere," Ecolo said. "I don't think a human can jump that high."
"Ecolo, it's not like I have any other ideas," Arle said. "Could you carry me?"
"I'm not solid, Arle~" Ecolo said.
"It was worth asking," Arle said. "But how could I fly up there?"
"Someone needs flying? ♪" a familiar, but extremely annoying voice called out.
"If you need to fly, Harpy's your girl!" another voice called out.
"Look, it's Harpy~" Ecolo pointed out.
"Harpy and Panotty too?" Arle said, before realising Ecolo sounded familiar with Harpy. "Wait, when did you find out about her?"
Ecolo just started laughing. Arle was getting somewhat tired of how cryptic Ecolo always was.
"I don't know the creepy one ♪" Harpy sung. How did Ecolo know her?
"Don't know that one, though~" Ecolo said, pointing to the little boy with a flute.
"I'm Panotty~" the boy said. "Harpy's bandmate! She can fly you as far as you want!"
