## Plot

### Chapter 1: Little Adventurers

At the Saraswati Colossus repair facility in the Valley of the Flaming Sword, India, Alex gives the Soul Transfer Machine to Brighton. Brighton is furious that there are still more STMs and ties up Fenrir to prevent him from escaping. Fenrir has been wanting to help his friend Dr Logue, who went missing with adventurer No. 77 "Home Run" Leia in an ancient site in Datun Mountain, Taiwan. Since Brighton doesn't allow Fenrir to leave, Alex and co. helps instead.

At Sea Cliff Home on Jones' island, Bernard and Bonnie Silverthorn undertake a test. Bonnie wins and Bernard loses. Alex calls Caroline to tell her that he and the others will go to Taiwan before returning. Alex and co. now set out to Datun Mountain.

### Chapter 2: Alex to the Rescue

At the ancient site, Alex finds a mechanism to open the door. He, Lulu, Crowbone and cat mummies go down and avoid the pressure plate on the ground. They think Logue and Leia activated it to close the entrance, locking them here. While following Logue and Leia's footsteps, Alex hopes Crowbone joins his future exploration organisation. They find a beacon of light with a statue broken down. They look to the ceiling, where a Shambhala map lies. They enter the passageway which Logue and Leia opened.

### Chapter 3: Going Deeper

Three days ago, Logue and Leia got themselves stuck in the entrance. They waited for two days, but no help came. They found the Shambhala map room. Leia solved a puzzle, activating the beacon and the statue, and opening the passageway. Leia defeats the statue with her baseball skills. They moved onward to where another statue chased them.

### Chapter 4: Fun

Leia defeats the statue. She solves a puzzle, causing the ground to fall. Alex saves them with his rope. After introducing themselves, everyone realises they are in another Shambhala map room.

### Chapter 5: Return

There are no portals in sight. Crowbone tells everyone that there is a dark room with a shining light. They enter a hexagonal room with five doorways and lava under transparent crystal floor. One of the doorways has a dimensional crack. Alex touches it, alerting Nacho and Apep in the Other-Space on the other side.

Apep sends Chaos Larvae to the crack. The larvae enter the room through the crack. It is widened by Nacho, now more fearsome and powerful. Alex is shocked to see Nacho again. Nacho unleashes the larvae.

### Chapter 6: Disturbance

Nacho's aura causes Alex, Lulu, Crowbone and the cat mummies to tremble. At Sea Cliff Home, Pupa detects Nacho's entrance to Earth. Jackal and Mapiya tremble too. The Valkyrie, a zookeeper, a diver and a person looking at a dragon skeleton feel it too. Luminus and Tempesta awake from hibernation, also feeling Nacho's aura.

Lulu attacks Nacho with her sword, but Nacho bites it off. Nacho then tries to eat Lulu, but Crowbone and a cat mummy pushed her away and got eaten instead. Alex turns furious.

### Chapter 7: Full Power

Lulu is furious too and transforms into her human cat form, punches Nacho with multiple strikes, but failed to make a scratch. Alex then tries heating Nacho again, but Nacho is now immune to it. A portal suddenly emerges from another doorway. The Valkyrie appears. Apep is reminded that the Valkyrie is one of many dolls of the armoured warrior guardian.

Alex tells everyone to head back to the surface while the Valkyrie fights Nacho. Akhazane appears from a portal to lend Alex and co. a hand.

### Chapter 8: Agent of Darkness

The Valkyrie seems to be losing. Her fate is unknown when Akhazane takes everyone through his portal at one of the Yangtze River's three gorges. Akhazane explains that Nacho's entrance caused a disruption in teleportation energies. Alex also fills Leia up to date with what has been happening. Lulu seems to be sad from Crowbone's "death".

Back in the portal room, Nacho solves a puzzle to open the other portals, unleashing even more Chaos Larvae to devour **everything.**
