Homura uses her Soul Blade powers to fight off Sister's men. Meanwhile, Rebecca plans her escape from Illega Tower.

Rebecca is devastated by Shiki's death and Drakken Joe finally explains to her in detail what it is he wants to extract from her. Apparently, she has a very particular Ether Gear.

With Laguna's help, Shiki and the gang obtain a hint for finding Mother and leave Red Cave towards the Verdant Planet Foresta. Meanwhile, Elsie's pirate gang, cruising through the Aoi Cosmos on the Skull Fairy, are being pursued by Justice of the Cosmic Government's Interstellar Union Army.

The robots attack the ship and Jin, Kleene and Laguna have to defend their new allies. Meanwhile, on the planet, Shiki and the others are confronted by Poseidon Nero, who has been ordered to eliminate all robots.

Shiki confronts Orc from Poseidon Nero's Commando Team "Beast". Orc tells Shiki that they were ordered by Nero and are on a mission to cleanse this planet, which was under the control of Ziggy.

Now that everyone's back on the ship, Shiki introduces Xenolith, who has some disturbing statements that affect Shiki and his companions. Meanwhile, Oceans 6, Poseidon Nero's group, assembles and prepares for their next move.

Under Xenolith's guidance, Shiki and his friends receive VR "bondage training" to overcome decline of Ether levels when they are constrained. During this training, Ziggy suddenly appears and hurts Rebecca with gravity, infuriating Shiki and causing him to break out of his constraints.

Shiki and Laguna's former companions prepare to launch an attack on Nero and try to stop Orc from placing the bombs on the planet.
