That Sinking Feeling

Neri sends Neanda to the Palace to request that Zardor guard the meteor against Elgar returning. Then she and Micro head off in search of Elgar, leaving Jobah to recover. Moza has been taken into custody at the Royal Palace until Neri is able to verify his story. However, he succeeds in escaping and he too heads off in search of Elgar, hoping to prove his loyalty to the Oceanans. Elgar remains transfixed by the power of the crystal in her possession, determined now to keep it for herself. Neri and Micro make their way back past the crab and sea monster. Neri confronts Elgar in another cave. Elgar refuses to give up the crystal, even as she sinks into quicksand. Moza arrives and saves Neri from the quicksand. He then tries unsuccessfully to trick Elgar into handing over the crystal and gets tricked himself.
