En route to Venus, Rouge and Naomi learn that Cyan has stowed away on their ship. She's convinced Rouge is her big sister and insists on traveling with her, despite Naomi's protests. Ahead of them, Gene reaches Venus and meets the Puppetmaster...

After making an emergency landing on Venus, Rouge's group enters the Cloud Plant to find Gene, but Silvia picks up on their movements. As Gene looks on, the Puppetmaster begins to talk about his mother, Eva Kristella, and her creation, Code Eve.

The true identity of the Puppetmaster is revealed. Rouge, Silvia, and all the others listen in shock as he explains his plans and the world he wishes for. Were Rouge and the rest no more than puppets in his play?
