During the night, Cole walks back to his room and hears and sound. He's able to hide and catches what he thinks is a purple monster, but it turns out to be Vania. She then tells Cole about Mr. Sparkles as she shows him to the entrance of a mine.
Along the way, they talk about the creator of the Dungeons of Shintaro, an evil wizard named Hazza D'ur, before stumbling upon an underground mining operation. Vania catches the Geckles, Munce, and Minos mining Vengestone and is heartbroken to see them enslaved.

They tell Vangelis about everything they saw, and he is disappointed in Vania for going into the tunnels despite telling her earlier to not do so. Cole talks about the Skull Sorcerer and the Skull of Hazza D'ur, so Vangelis reveals the skull and transforms into the Skull Sorcerer. Vania is shocked that her father would do such terrible things such as enslaving the Munce and Geckles. When Cole and Wu fall due to a trap door, Vania attempts to go after them, but her father threatens her saying if she were to rescue the ninja, she would no longer be Vangelis' daughter: despite this, Vania still jumps.
The Real Fall
While falling down, Vania found Cole and Master Wu. Trying to help them, Vania tells Wu to slow down his falling he has to flap his hands. It would soon be proved as useless to do.

When Cole and Wu grab onto Vania, Vania's wings would break due to the weight of all three of them. Vania asks what to do they do, Wu says that she is handling the situation efficiently. Vania would say Cole and Wu have been in worse situations than the situation they are now, which Cole and Wu disagreed to it. Vania asks if any of them have a plan, to which Wu and Cole deny it.
