The Bronze Saints arrive to a desert area, in which they meet a young girl from the people of Jamir, called Raki, who at first attacks them. After realizing they are Saints, by tradition connected to the people of Jamir, Raki takes them through a shortcut to avoid the desert areas, only to be greeted by the challenge of Kerberos Dorie, who seeks to capture Aria. Managing to defeat Dorie after a difficult battle, the Bronze Saints resume their journey, bidding farewell to their young benefactor, who later is joined by her mentor, Appendix Kiki, the former apprentice of the legendary Aries Mu, now a young man, who realizes the Bronze Saints are the new embodiment of hope in this era.
