Back to the present, Andy uses his powers to deactivate Ihachigo's cloaking system, exposing the Catastrophe to an attack by the US military. While confronting Magi and the others, Minamoto learns about the situation, and reveals that B.A.B.E.L.'s true intention was to aprehend P.A.N.D.R.A. to prevent the attack and allows them to leave and help Hyōbu and the others. With Hyōbu busy confronting dozens of combat drones sent by the US army, a task force invades the ship and captures Yūgiri. Andy tries to stop them from taking her away, but his superior shoots him instead and leaves with both Yūgiri and Ihachigo in his possession. Andy awakens soon after, just to find he is unscatched as his limiter stoped the bullet. Meanwhile Hyōbu feels his body failing away, and unlocks his powers to destroy the invading fleet in one fell swoop before losing consciousness, but the Catastrophe ends up taking one last shot before is sunk, with everyone aboard having already evacuated the ship except for Hyōbu and Andy.
