The episode opens with the protagonist desperately severing and throwing a tail from a defeated Hybrid to stop another charging creature. Severely injured, he drags himself toward the hangar, knowing without upgrades he'll soon be destroyed. Meanwhile, Faye watches a warning panel nervously as an immense, energy-level-four monster emerges from the sea. Roy orders Faye to evacuate the mecha immediately, but she refuses, cutting off communications to stay and fight. Determined to protect the weak at all costs, Faye prepares to confront the new, more dangerous threat as multiple T-2 units begin an ominous fusion, escalating the crisis.
