He has a doctors appointment to attend and Frida had to go home because her grandparents are coming. So Hilda decided go into the woods alone. After exploring she saw a snake flying. As she followed it, she then saw a rock floating in mid air. She looked behind it and saw multiple things floating in mid air. She was curious but then she suddenly stepped in slime. It looked cosmic blue and it was a trail leading towards a cave.

When she got inside she saw something glowing with different colors blue, purple, gold, and white. She then saw the glowing was coming from a jellyfish that was three times bigger than her. It resembled a bluefire jellyfish.

Meanwhile Johanna returned home from her job only to see that Hilda wasn't home. She then decided to calm her mind by doing artwork while Twig, Alfur, and the Great Raven decide to go out to find her.

Meanwhile Hilda slowly approached the beast. It looked sick and shy but Hilda decided to give one of her sandwiches to it. When it ate it it suddenly started to feel better. The jellyfish slowly started to rise off the ground. Hilda wanted to pet it only but suddenly it grabbed her and pulled her deeper into the cave. It covered her mouth preventing her from calling. Just then a voice called out from outside. It was the Beast Hunter from TV. Hilda started to feel a bit weird as if energy was being transferred into her from the jellyfish. The Hunter then walked away.

As soon as he was gone, the Jellyfish flew outside and putting Hilda down but suddenly Hilda started to float off the ground and into the air. She was scared but soon got the hang of it. Hilda then flew around the forest laughing. After a while she flew up above the trees looking at the view. The jellyfish came up with her and then opened a portal. Hilda followed it. They flew across the globe and into deep space. Just then the Jellyfish put it's tentacle on Hilda's forehead and it showed her images using telepathy.

Meanwhile Johanna gave up and was about to continue drawing until Hilda came out of a portal to greet her Mum. After Johanna hugged her, she was in gasp as she saw her daughter floating in mid air. Hilda then grabbed her mother and pulled her into the portal.

The jellyfish came out of the portal with Hilda and Johanna. They ended up into an open field right next to a mountain. Hilda told her that the creature was friendly and wanted to show her something. The creature then touched Johanna with its long tentacles. Johanna started to float off the ground just like Hilda. She then started to freak out longer than her daughter. Hilda quickly calmed her down.

Just then a dart hit the cosmic being knocked it to the ground. Just then the Beast Hunter appeared in his jeep and found the creature. Hilda flew in the way between him and the Jellyfish.

The Hunter threw a knife at Hilda but she dodged it. He then launched a net cannon which brought her and her mother to the ground. The Hunter then capture the creature drove off in his jeep. They were heading to a mountain After breaking free Hilda wanted to follow and rescue the creature. She tried to fly after her but she and her mother lost the ability granted by the jellyfish. Johanna decided that they should just go home but had no idea that she was lost. Hilda wanted to save the poor creature. So the two decided to follow the trail towards the mountains.

At sunset they walked through forests when they came across a cave and saw lights coming from inside it. Hilda and her Mum slowly approached the cave to noticed the Beast Hunter trying to examine the cosmic jellyfish. He found out that this jellyfish was actually a child. After touching the jellyfish, he was able to fly as Hilda. The cosmic jellyfish saw Hilda and her Mum and remained silent. Hilda threw a rock at a tree to catch the Hunter's attention. He followed the sound while the two were able to sneak inside and free the jellyfish from being tied up. As they both touched, they both were able to fly again. The Hunter returned and demanded the two to move away. Hilda told the Hunter to get away from the creature. He refused and pulled out a miniature flamethrower and tried to blast her and Johanna. Hilda realized something and quickly flew to the poor jellyfish while dodging the attacks. She quickly gave it a piece of her p&j sandwich. Just then the Hunter burned Hilda on the back. Johanna screamed in panic. She flew over to her daughter but was blocked by the Hunter. Just then the Hunter threw a pair of bolas at Johanna which made her fell to the ground. Soon the jellyfish ate the p&j sandwich and was able to regain its strength. Soon the Hunter was about to end Johanna's life when he noticed a blue light coming from behind him. The jellyfish was much stronger than every. It was still shy but had no choice but to stop the Beast Hunter. The Hunter try to escape but the jellyfish trapped him in a force-field bubble. The jellyfish's tentacles were charging up with electricity as powerful storm clouds rolled in. The malevolent hunter tried to break free but it was no use. Just then powerful bolts of cosmic lightning came down right on the Beast Hunter creating a massive electric explosion.

Meanwhile in the cave, Johanna picked up her wounded daughter and started to cry. Soon the jellyfish came over to her and put its tentacle on Hilda's forehead. Hilda started to glow and her pain started to heal. When Hilda stopped glowing, she slowly started to open her eyes. Johanna hugged her daughter and Hilda then flew and hugged the jellyfish. Suddenly a storm was approaching. The jellyfish flew out of the cave. Hilda flew behind it with Johanna following. As they flew passed the mountains, they realized that it wasn't a storm. It was the jellyfish's species. Before the jellyfish said it's goodbyes, Hilda hugged it again. Johanna was shy but hugged it as well. Then the jellyfish opened a portal leading to their home. Hilda and her Mum flew into the portal waving goodbye. Soon the jellyfish returned to its family and they flew into the stars.

Later the portal opened and Hilda and Johanna flew out of it before it closed. Suddenly they both fell and knew that their ability to fly was gone for good. Soon both Twig, Alfur, and the Great Raven came back and were surprised to see Hilda again.
