Detecting Phos inside the snail, Diamond finds a weak point in its shell, allowing Bort to defeat it. Discovering that Phos supposedly has transformed into a small slug creature, Diamond tries to find a way to turn them back to normal, but finds little help from the other Lustrous. They come across Cinnabar, who states that the slug is not actually Phos, but nonetheless gives Diamond a vital clue in saving Phos. Managing to gather up pieces of Phos that were left behind in the snail's shell, the Lustrous rebuild Phos, who now is able to understand what the slug is saying.
