## Overview

Trouble arises on Canchome and Folgore’s flight to Japan as the front landing gear of the plane malfunctions and it is up to them to prevent a crash landing. At the same time, Kiyomaro, Gash, and the rest of their allies gather at the airport to figure out Faudo’s new location. Of their group, Momon is the only one who knows where Faudo is located, but is uncooperative when pressed for answers. With only a few days left until Faudo’s seal is broken, Kiyomaro takes matters into his own hands to convince Momon to help them in their mission to save Wonrei and Lien.

## Plot

   On Canchome and Folgore’s flight to Japan, the pilot notices trouble with the front landing gear and the co-pilot goes to investigate. Below the plane, the co-pilot sees the plane mechanic who explains that had accidentally ended up on the flight after sleeping by the landing gears. When the co-pilot looks nearby the mechanic, he sees that an electrical box for the front landing gear had short circuited due to the mechanic’s wet bed sheets dripping directly onto it. At the same time, Canchome becomes increasingly nervous as he thinks about Faudo and locks himself in the bathroom in an effort to not be forced to leave the plane when it lands. Meanwhile, Kiyomaro meets with Apollo and Dr. Riddles at the airport. Kiyomaro thanks Apollo for his help in setting up a charter flight for him and his allies but mentions that Folgore and Canchome are the only ones that have yet to show up. Additionally, Kiyomaro discusses with Apollo and Dr. Riddles that Faudo’s location had changed and is speculated to be in the southern hemisphere. He adds that Momon is supposed to help them with specifying Faudo’s location, but he has so far been uncooperative with them. Despite this, Apollo assures Kiyomaro that he’ll keep the runway open for them until they get their answer from him. Not wanting to inconvenience Apollo more than they need to, Kiyomaro asks Elle to hurry and get an answer out of Momon.

At the same time, the flight attendant becomes concerned when she notices that Canchome had been in the bathroom for a long time. When the co-pilot and mechanic learn about this too, the co-pilot also becomes worried and mentions aloud that Canchome will need to return to his seat in preparation for a crash landing. Folgore, who had been standing behind them, becomes alarmed at the news of this but the flight staff request that he stays quiet about this for now to avoid panicking the rest of the passengers. The co-pilot and mechanic try to reassure Folgore about the situation, but end up revealing more details of the landing gear issues to him which consequently leads to panic among themselves. Folgore however tells them to let him and Canchome handle the situation and then begins to talk to Canchome from outside the bathroom door. There, Folgore tells Canchome that they’re the only ones who can prevent the plane from crash landing and sympathizes with him by saying he’s also just as scared as he is. He continues by telling him that as long as he’s with him, he feels confident enough to handle any situation and points out the numerous times they overcame many dangers together. Folgore concludes by telling Canchome that his power is needed more than ever and that even while things seem grim, it’s important that he do his best rather than feel regretful from running from a situation. Believing in Folgore’s words, Canchome decides then that he’ll do his best to help everyone.

At the airport, Elle decides she will point at individual countries near Australia and ask Momon which one Faudo is located in while paying attention to Momon’s face. The more he lies, the longer his face will begin to appear. Elle points at each country until she eventually realizes that Momon had covered his ears while she was asking questions thus preventing any progress from being made. After some time, Kiyomaro decides he’ll talk to Momon himself to try and convince him to cooperate. Kiyomaro tells Momon very plainly that no matter how hard Momon will try to run away, the seal on Faudo will be released in three days and that they have friends who are forced to become Riou’s allies to help him with this. He then gives Momon the ultimatum to either help them try to stop Faudo’s revival or allow the situation they’re all in to turn even worse. As Momon begins to process this choice, Canchome and Folgore head below the plane to figure out a solution to the malfunctioning front landing gear. Seeing that they’re unable to get the actual landing gear to work, Folgore decides that he’ll use a spell to turn Canchome into plane wheels to replace the malfunctioning ones. This idea ends up working as the plane manages to make a safe landing and at the same time that Momon finally points out that Faudo is located in New Zealand.

After letting Apollo know where they’ll be headed, Kiyomaro tells Dr. Riddles he’ll update him on Faudo’s more exact location later and then ask him to also deliver this information to Gide. Dr. Riddles agrees to do this then lets Kiyomaro know he also plans to find any other demons who would be willing to help them. Just as they finish talking, Canchome and Folgore finally make it to the airport and join Kiyomaro and the rest of their group on their flight to New Zealand. On the plane, an image of Faudo is displayed and Kiyomaro asks Canchome about the realization he made about it that he had yet to talk about with them. Canchome is reluctant to talk about this but Kiyomaro and Folgore’s persuasion finally manage to get him to speak about it. He begins by recalling the night when they had all gathered at Sunbeam’s apartment to discuss Faudo and says that a pose Big Boing had made during her song then appeared similar to Faudo’s figure. He shows this to the group by crossing both his arms over his chest and pointing out that Faudo appears to have the form of an enormous human-shaped demon with the top of his head and the pillars around it looking similar to a helmet and prison bars.

As the group looks closer at the image of Faudo, they begin to see the same thing as Canchome and become terrified at this realization. As Kiyomaro looks at it, he thinks that there will be no possible way they could fight Faudo once it comes to life and is set loose upon the world. At the same time elsewhere, Zeon looks over what appears to be an empty horizon and asks Dufort about what he sees. As expected for Zeon, Dufort tells him he doesn’t see anything except mountains and Zeon assures him he’ll be able to see Faudo eventually. Dufort asks Zeon if he’ll be able to see a different kind of scenery with Faudo’s power and Zeon tells him yes and that he too will change just like him.
