Minako smiled triumphantly. It’s been a long time since she single-handedly defeated a dark lord. Since Daimaru was gone, the tubes that held Seravi and Dorothy captive disappeared.

"I don't know who you are but thank you." said Dorothy.

"Yes, thank you." said Seravi.

"Your welcome." she replied, blushing. This made Dorothy like her less.

"That was awesome!"

"Brilliant!"

"Never seen anyone exhibit such skill 'cept Cha Cha!" Minako was flattered.

"Oh yeah! Seravi, who is this Daimaru?" asked Riya.

"And why is he so keen to get rid of Cha Cha?"

"Daimaru's the mastermind behind all the trouble that you all experienced recently." explained Seravi "He's a powerful sorcerer who lives in dark castle which you're heading toward on your quest."

"But if he's so powerful, why didn't he try to finish Cha Cha off from the start?" wondered Dorothy.

"I believe that as long as Cha Cha remains here in Mochimochi Mountains, he can't leave the castle. It's his prison."

"That's why he sent Cha Cha to Tokyo!" exclaimed Shiine. Seravi nodded, and everyone saw the light.

"But Seravi," asked Orin "why can't he leave the castle?"

"I'd love to tell you all the whole story, but now's not the right time to do so. Come Minako, there's not much time to lose. I suspect that Daimaru is recuperating in his castle till he gets his strength back. We have to send you home quickly."

"Can you do that?"

"Of course I can! I'm a wizard!"

Seravi cast a spell, and a portal opened. Everyone waved goodbye to Minako. Yakko pleaded with Seravi not to leave her so soon, much to the annoyance of Dorothy. As Minako turned to enter the portal with Seravi, she heard the faint voice of Queen Joan.

"Goodbye, Venus Princess!"
