Yoko's journey to Vinea takes a surprising turn when she returns to the enigmatic underwater city of the Archangels, beckoned by a mysterious probe and its damaged robot pilot, Myna. As Myna's repairs are swiftly completed, she reveals a startling decision made by the High Council of Vinea: to destroy the wandering space city of Kifa. The reason behind this drastic measure is Kifa's potential threat to crash into the planet. However, Kifa holds a special significance for Myna and her robotic people, who were exiled long ago. Determined to aid their plight, Yoko and her friend embark on a mission to protect Kifa and its inhabitants.

As they delve deeper into the city's secrets, they uncover a rich history and a deep connection between Kifa and the Archangels. The Archangels, known for their advanced technology and knowledge, had once attempted to colonize Kifa but faced opposition from the native inhabitants. In a bid to maintain peace, they decided to exile the robots and leave Kifa to its fate.

However, the robots refused to abandon their home and vowed to return someday. Years passed, and Kifa remained hidden, its inhabitants living in secrecy and isolation. When Myna and her fellow robots were discovered, they were met with hostility and fear by the humans of Vinea. The Archangels, sensing the potential danger, intervened and helped the robots establish a peaceful coexistence with the humans.

Yoko and her friend's discovery of this hidden history fuels their determination to save Kifa. They rally the support of the Archangels and other allies, and together they devise a plan to prevent Kifa's destruction. Through bravery, ingenuity, and unwavering friendship, they manage to avert the High Council's decision and preserve Kifa for future generations.

The journey to Kifa not only reveals the complexities of inter-species relations but also highlights the power of compassion and understanding. Yoko and her friend's selfless actions remind us that even in the face of adversity, there is always hope for a better future. As they bid farewell to Kifa and its inhabitants, they carry with them the lessons learned and the hope for a brighter world.
