[edit] Story

Monya has been undertaking some time travel expeditions to recover lost Indonesian artifacts. In the Bali of 1350 AD, an eruption of the Mount Agung volcano destroyed much of civilization there. Monya has traveled back to the time shortly before the eruption and has obtained a holy statuette from the Mother Temple of Besakih with the help of a temple dancer. The girl, Narki, is now facing the death sentence for her crime.

Yoko, Monya, and the others must race against time to save Narki, who looks strangely familiar to Yoko. They succeed in preventing Narki from being offered to 'the winged demons of the Agung', a trio of surviving pteranodons. When Mount Agung erupts shortly afterwards, Yoko and Monya escape with Narki and bring her to a king's court in the Borneo of 1520. This causes a predestination paradox, for it is a sculpture of Narki that made Yoko regularly visit the court's ruins in Borneo, which caused her to meet Monya in the first place.
