After arriving in the past and defeating a Generator that followed them, Koji, Ryo, and Gawl go in search of information. Gawl runs off in search of food as Koji and Ryo hack into the city's system and find the lab where the thing that they have come to stop, starts. Gawl runs into trouble when he is caught staring into a fast food restaurant by Masami and is arrested when she accuses him of being the "fast food stalker." Koji and Ryo clear his name by making up a story about their orphanage burning down. They are given new IDs and find a place to stay, which to Gawl's disgust, is also the home of Masami.

As Gawl's body interferes with the time stream, it becomes clear that the actions that the scientist guys have done are all related to the Third War and the creation of Kubere. Kanae and Takuma reveal their true identities, and the guys struggle with what else they can do, leading to their confrontation with Ryuko Saito, and their ultimate dependence on Gawl. As he sits on the edge of death, Gawl encounters Natsume one more time, as his friends try to revive him to change the destiny of the world.
