Tetsuro took over Juzo's body and found the culprits to the puppet casses. However, the culprits were children like him. They were experimented on and used as tools by the Berühren company. He tries to save them, but he cannot do it alone.

## Summary

Hugh believes that Tetsuro is an extend from Kyusei Group and orders his men to attack him, but as his face is revealed, he gets shocked as he sees Juzo's face. He tells Anne and Ende that they actually were useful and orders then to show their value against Juzo. Ende transforms and attacks Juzo, making his backpack fall and reveal Tetsuro's body. Seeing that, Hugh realizes that Tetsuro is the one controlling Juzo right now, which makes him laugh as Tetsuro had eliminated both his protector and their biggest nuisance. Listening to Tetsuro's speech about wanting to be free and not a tool, Anne wonders what wrong of being a tool and that the only way they can continue living. She tells Ende to hurry and kill him, but Ende reaches her hand asking Anne to hold it. Hugh then shoots Ende with a drug that will put her brain in comatose state, and will cause her to go berserk. Since Kyusei Group won't be able to stop a model like her, Beruhren will get involved and "save" them, making them own them a favor. Hugh explains that his goal right now wasn't to capture Tetsuro, but to take something from Juzo as he had promised him and he is sure this way Kyusei Group will kick them out of Kyusei Pit.

Ende goes berserk and Tetsuro tries to protect Anne from her attack. That makes him loose control over Juzo. Anne badly injured tells Tetsuro that his death ring had appeared and if he continue he will fry his brain. In her last moments, she asks him to save Ende. Tetsuro attempts to use the Harmony, but it has been weakened and he can't take control of Ende. He tries to take control of one of her arms and attack her sub-brain to stop her, but fails. Ende attacks Tetsuro, but Juzo protects him, and pushes Ende away. Juzo says that he have seen everything he did to his body and wants to have a chat with Tetsuro after that. Juzo takes Tetsuro and brings him to an elevator explaining that Tetsuro used him as a tool and even though it was different its still similarly to what Beruhren do. As Ende comes after them, they ride the evelator down, but she still catches up. Juzo not in condition to continue fighting, tells Tetsuro that there is 90% chance she will die, but she must use his gun on his head. Tetsuro does and manages to defeat Ende.

Later, Juzo and Tetsuro are kicked out of Kyusei Pit, but Huang manages to convince his group to leave Mary. Juzo explains that Ende's poison is a program that paralyzes the sub-brain of an Extend, but since he is an old model it didn't work that well on him. Mary is currently making a counterprogram and will save the affected kids and has also managed to save Ende. Tetsuro figures that Juzo could have resisted his Harmony control at anytime, but Juzo had let him control him or purpose. Juzo tells him that he helped him this time since he promised to protect him, but to never use Harmony on him again and that only those he accept can touch his trigger and he doesn't plan on accepting anyone.
