Summary

　Based on information bought in a bar, Louie's group heads toward a mountain where a crystal miner named Gonga has supposedly been lost. On the way, they run into Melissa's rival, Isabel, and her team: Leonard, Isabel's new champion; Jakinson, a swordsman; and Lily, a Faris priestess. When both teams find they have the same goal, the rescue turns into a race. Out of breath, the teams agree to work together. They find Gonga in a cave, but he refuses to leave without a very large crystal. With the cave ready to collapse, Louie goes in after it and tells the others to get out. Only Melissa stays behind with Louie and though they do get the crystal, they are lucky to get out alive. Outside, the crystal suddenly breaks and everybody is once against disappointed in him.
