Before they can protect it, Sheldgoose suddenly uses Mono's magic chalk to draw a cage to trap the group as part of Sheldgoose's dirty tricks as the three plan to return to the real world to erase them as part of his evil plans. While in the cage, Hanzy manages to help the group to which upon removing the cage just before planning to stop Sheldgoose.

As Hanzy gets erased, Mono becomes worried that Hanzy is gone. After escaping the Nazca Realm, Mono mourns the loss over Hanzy who was erased to which José tells him that he shouldn't fear her demise as it is explained that since Mono's chalk is magical, it can be used to redraw her back.
