Are you really going to jump out into the open air? You try to take a step backward but Sailater is in the way and when you look back at the Auraprimas they're already further away from the back door of the balloon!
What? You just remembered Lottatax has <span class="mu-r">a long sticky tongue</span>? You look around but Lottatax is on the other side of Sailater! You look back at Auroara and the Auraprimas just as the Auraprimas drift away and then fly past the balloon so quickly that a blast of air makes the balloon tilt!
"Aaah!" Suddenly Mashi falls onto the floor and starts sliding toward the open door! You grab her hand but then you start to slide out of the balloon and grab Sailater's tail!
[SFX: roaring noise]
Sailater doesn't like it!
You pull Mashi back into the balloon and let go of Sailater's tail and push yourself backward onto the floor and then Starr and Joe push the back door closed.
Mashi is looking at you!
"Thanks!"
You look up at Ben but you can only see Sailater! What? Are you really going to climb over Sailater?
You climb over Sailater toward the front of the balloon!
[SFX: growling noise]
Sailater doesn't like it!
When you climb down from Sailater's shoulder, Ben looks over at you and asks "What happened?"
"They took Auroara!"
"What? You mean that..." Ben glances back and then looks at you. "Hey, I don't think I can do anything. I mean, we're already carrying more than we can-"
"Please follow them!"
"Hey, don't start that again!" It seems like Ben can see you're about to start crying! He looks at the control panel and then grins at you and says "You really are worse than Starr!" Ben pushes a lever all the way forward and says "Alright, here we go!"
[SFX: motor revving]
Even though Ben is driving the balloon as fast as it can go, it still can't go very fast because Sailater weighs so much! Ben checks the control panel again and says "It seems like they're heading north." You look out the front window of the balloon but you can't even see the glow from the Auraprimas anymore! You look at Ben and see him glance back and notice you and he says "We can still follow them with these." Ben taps a dial on the control panel. "Even if we can't see them with our eyes, we can use these instruments to figure out which way they're going and change our own course to match. That way, even if it takes us longer to get there, we'll know we're going the right direction."
You're don't really know what he's talking about, but it seems like you'll have to trust Ben and his instruments to follow Auroara! You crouch down next to Ben and Skowl and watch the water underneath the balloon. After a while the balloon floats over some cliffs and forest and then over the ground.
Suddenly Ben reaches over and starts tapping the instruments on the control panel and says "Hey, what's going on?"
You look at Ben!
"What's wrong?
"All of a sudden all the instruments are going haywire! I can't tell where we are!"
