Rama continues to look for Sita but his lose is beginning to tug at his heart strings. He meets Sugreeva who was once the right hand to Vali, the monkey king. When Vali left to chase after an opponent the throne was left unoccupied and the elders placed Sugreeva there in Vali's absence. They didn't know if he was dead or alive after he went into a tunnel chasing his prey. Sugreeva attempted to look for his brother but the elders would not allow it and blocked off the entrance. Vali however was still alive and broke free only to find Sugreeva on his throne. He wouldn't listen to his brothers explanations and attempted to kill him. Sugreeva managed to get free and ends up meeting up with Rama who he gets to help him. Sugreeva calls out his brother and they begin to fight. Rama kills Vali and explains to him his reasoning behind doing so in which Vali becomes enlightened and regrets the choices he had made.
The rainy season comes and Rama becomes very depressed and kind of pitiful. After the rainy season ends they wait for Sugreeva to send troops so they can cover the Earth in search of Sita. The troops do not arrive on time so Lakshmana goes to Kiskinda to find out what the issue is. Angry at first his nerves are calmed and the troops arrive later on. They are sent in every direction but the most important group heads south and gets caught underground. They meet a bird and restore his feathers to him. He tells them that Ravana had passed through there with Sita and that she was being held in Lanka.
They sit at the edge of the ocean deciding how they can go about getting across. Rama bargains with the sea god and he helps them to create a path to the other side and into Lanka. This is were the story gets interesting and the battle begins.
