There is a chance for the guardians to restore 34 planets to light during a brief period of alignment as they learn of the defeat at Fort Barren 100 years earlier. Parcival gives Bhodi Li, Tivia and Baethan unusual packs to carry as they make their way to the surface of planet Barren. The packs contain jumping balloons to help the guardians cross over a moat of acid, however the Arrians destroy one, forcing Bhodi Li to carry Tivia across with him. Tivia clears away a hidden trap, but the Arrians are ready to battle the guardians to keep them from reaching the crystal in time. The fate of the planets comes down to charging the crystal transmitter in the final seconds of the alignment period.
