Episode 6

**The Skull Fairy** is the 6th episode of the *Edens Zero* anime.

Weisz uses his Machina Maker Ether Gear to modify the Aqua Wing, allowing them to make it past the energy field surrounding Norma. They soon get a call from Professor Weisz, who explains the existence of a terrible monster that devoured Norma's time. Suddenly, the group is captured by the space pirate Elsie Crimson. Shiki decides to steal the ship from her. Amused from this, Elsie welcomes the idea and challenges him to find her in her chamber—but as Shiki's group soon finds, Elsie and her crew are not quite as human as they appear to be...

## Summary

In an alleyway, Rebecca explains that Sibir had been stealing the town's military robots using Pino's ability, but they've been turned over to the police. Happy asks how Pino how she wound up in the past, as she was from their time period, but the anti-bot responds that she can't remember anything because of her memory wipe. Rebecca points out that the last maintenance was done on her by Professor Weisz. They think that if they return to the future, then Pino's memories will return. Just then the police arrive and while Rebecca is initially not worried, Pino points out they will be in trouble since they don't have any ID, causing them to run away. Weisz proceeds to run as well when the police recognize him from Sibir's gang. Back at the Aqua Wing, Shiki, Happy, Rebecca, and Pino prepare to head to Blue Garden in order to find a way back to their time. As soon as they lift off, though, the police catch up to them and begin shooting at them. While the Aqua Wing can easily outrun them, it is suddenly prevented from leaving the planet by an unknown energy field. Just then, Weisz appears, having snuck onto the ship in order to escape. He then tells the group that if they hand the ship over to him, then he can help them get into space.

Weisz tells the group to give him control of the Aqua Wing, saying he can help them get into space. When Rebecca points out that he will be arrested along with them, Weisz says that he'll be fine as he has an ID. Shiki tells Weisz that he can have the ship, much to Rebecca's anger, with Shiki saying they'll soon need a better ship if they want to visit Mother, to Weisz's intrigue. Weisz then declares himself the ship's captain as he reveals his Ether Gear, Machina Maker. He uses his Gear to completely remodel the Aqua Wing from the inside out, letting them leave the police behind. He even used it to give Pino back her leg. After the ship manages to clear the energy field and reach space. Just then, Rebecca's phone rings, revealing the caller to be Professor Weisz, to everyone's shock. The Professor then reveals that Norma had been put on the "Do not travel" list and that as long as they remain on Norma, they would remain in the past. The Professor then reveals that a monster called the Chronophage had managed to eat 50 years' worth of Norma's time. Furthermore, eating a planet's time causes the planet to be permanently stuck in the past. Professor Weisz and most of the other residents from Norma had gotten off the planet beforehand. He also reveals that he only repaired Pino and that her master was the Demon King, much to Shiki's shock. The Professor then turns his attention to the younger Weisz. Because of the Chronophages' actions, an alternate, younger version of Weisz, whose time was eaten by the monster was created. Hence, the possibility of a time paradox is eliminated, and as he continues what he is saying, the signal is cut off.

The Aqua Wing is soon intercepted by the ship of Elsie Crimson, who proceeds to pull their ship in with a tractor beam while saying that she has finally found Shiki. As the Skull Fairy’s tractor beam pulls in their ship, Happy and Weisz begin to panic while Rebecca notices the ship's flag and identifies it as the symbol of Elsie Crimson. A dread pirate who conquered the Seven Cosmic Seas. Despite Weisz's efforts, the Aqua Wing is pulled fully onboard and a holographic image displays Elsie who introduces herself and her ship. She praises their ability to escape the time-consumed planet Norma while insulting them for being captured by her tractor beam. Shiki demands to know her intentions to which Elsie answers that she wants nothing more than to plunder; she declares that they will be taken to the planet Guilst to be sold as slaves which encourages her crew to taunt Rebecca, who is dreading the prospect. Weisz attempts to bargain his way to freedom by pledging to be their mechanic which annoys Shiki.

The young man declares that he will instead plunder the Skull Fairy from Elsie which shocks his comrades. Elsie gives him directions on where he can find her and closes off the communications between them. Shiki runs off but Rebecca expresses doubts that he could beat someone as infamous as Elsie Crimson. Shiki discovers that the ship is infested with disgusting alien growths and finds a crowd of space pirates shuffling towards him. Prepared to fight, Shiki is shocked when the arms of the pirates all transform into tentacles and begin to attack him. Quickly recovering, Shiki defeats several of them with ease as he proclaims space is awesome. Meanwhile, Rebecca, Happy, and Pino have been captured by several tentacles. Pino identifies the tentacled creatures as Kawpicatt S4 parasites. Weisz is swiftly trapped as well, Happy transforms into a pair of blasters and enables Rebecca to destroy the tentacles around them in a barrage of ether blasts. Shiki discovers Elsie's room and barges inside but is surprised when Elsie turns around and reveals that she has a demonic skull face.
