Heading east, Ninten comes across an entryway to {{ebb|Magicant}}—a mystical world ruled by Queen Mary. She explains the importance of finding eight melodies to complete a song. Returning to the normal world, Ninten finds a boy named [[Lloyd]], who joins Ninten's party. They head to the wintry town of [[Snowman]], where a psychic girl named [[Ana]] joins the party. The children find the melodies along canaries, haunted houses, a talking cactus, and dragons beneath Magicant. | ||
Ninten, Lloyd, and Ana arrive in [[Ellay]]. The leader of the [[Bla-Bla Gang]], [[Teddy]], attacks the group, but soon becomes amiable after losing to Ninten. At the base of the nearby Mt. Itoi, Ninten and Ana profess their love. A large robot attacks their cabin, and the party is saved by Lloyd. Teddy is severely injured. The party continues to climb Mt. Itoi, and meet George's benevolent robot, [[EVE]]. Their quick ascent ends after EVE sacrifices herself to defeat a large robot. After learning the final melody at the summit of the mountain, the party is teleported to Magicant. Queen Mary, recalling the Melodies, tells the party of her adopted young alien child named [[Giygas]], and reveals herself as Maria. Magicant, a result of her own conscience, disappears, along with Maria herself, leaving the children to face the alien threat at the peak. | Ninten, Lloyd, and Ana arrive in [[Ellay]].
