To Surface Dwellers, the only channels connecting the land and Dark Moon were the two teleportation facilities known as the "Dark Moon Gate" and the "Long Bridge Ruins." They stood at the southern and northern ends of the Long Bridge Mountain Range respectively, corresponding to two equally ancient teleportation devices on Dark Moon. Surface Dwellers believed these two facilities were the remaining "bridge piers" after the Earth-Moon Connection Bridge had been destroyed by the Goddess with a single sword strike. They also believed that, since the Long Bridge had been destroyed, they could no longer actively activate these ancient creations.

The Earth-Moon Connection Bridge, or rather, the Twin Stars Teleportation Station, had always remained intact. The cores of these two ancient facilities had merely been locked. All it took was a foot-long control rod to reopen the Teleportation Gate.
