The team runs away from the Mamodos Laila and Dalmos and end up in a room full of sand. Laila fires an attack at the wall and tells the team to escape. She then proceeds to attack Dalmos and realize that she is unable to because Milordo-Z's mind control prevents this from happening. Kiyo tells everyone to leave, while he helps Laila defeat Dalmos. He gives Tia Zatch's book and stays behind with Zatch. Ponygon is reluctant to leave Kiyo, but Kiyo thanks Ponygon for coming even though he is afraid of battles. Ponygon leaves just before the exit is blocked by sand. Dalmos fires a drill into the centre of the room to create a whirlpool in the sand. Kiyo, Zatch, Laila, and her mind-controlled partner, Albert, are overwhelmed by Dalmos. As Kiyo is about to be absorbed into the whirlpool, Ponygon and his book owner appears.
