Area 1

This level begins on the snowy top of Mystical Pique, where four Teensies and the five nymphs are gathered by a circular stone portal called the Dreamer's Door. If the heroes hit the Teensies, they will strike back. If this level is visited while none of the Four Kings have been freed, the nymphs send the heroes to fetch them. When they free one of them, the nymph bound to that King is placed in a meditation position.

Once the Four Kings have been freed, the ritual can begin. The Teensies repeatedly bow as the nymphs recite incantations, activating the nearby portal. Then, the heroes go through the portal, which takes them up into the clouds in a ball of light.

Area 2

Up in the clouds, the weather is very stormy. The Magician is present here, and if the heroes jump on his hat, he warns them that it is dangerous here and to not proceed. The heroes continue anyway, and past a few clouds shooting lightning, they reach the giant mosquitoes, which they ride on for the rest of the level.

As the team rides the giant mosquitoes, they first have to avoid more clouds shooting lightning. Afterwards, a warship operated by a Lividstone appears in the background, which shoots helicopter bombs into the foreground. The heroes and the giant mosquitoes must avoid them, as well as small mecha flies and yet more clouds shooting lightning. After a while, big mecha flies appear as well. As the team goes through this area, large structures can be seen in the background. They are larger and larger as the team progresses further into the level. Eventually, the heroes reach some of the structures, where they must face turrets and machines that generate electric arcs between each other, as well as small and big mecha flies. It is sometimes required to shoot at gears to free the path, and some of the machines can be deactivated like this too. After a while, they must avoid red live missiles as well. Immediately after this, the team is able to get off the giant mosquitoes, break open an Electoon cage, and finish the level. They then pose on the photoboard as the Magician counts the total number of Lums collected in this level, and this despite his warnings at the beginning of this area.
