## Summary

A week after Shiki's death, the news of the Belial Gore cover Sibir's death, discovering that it was for treason against Drakken Joe. In a junk pile, Pino and Happy lie deactivated. Rebecca is given a room and is told that her other friends are safe, but has been locked up for the duration of her stay. She is grief-stricken from Shiki's death and cannot stop thinking about it. She hears footsteps approaching, where the door opens, revealing it to be Laguna. He finds Rebecca cowering in fear, telling her to relax as it is just him. Rebecca thinks to herself, how she lacks all emotions now, except for fear so great that it overshadowed any hatred she had. Laguna tries to get her to eat and that sitting in stupor will not change anything. He tells her that they were told to treat her like one of them and that she should forget the past. He tries to get her to understand from Drakken's view, as moneylenders cannot do business if people think they are soft and that what happened was awful but is just how it is. He fails to get any response, but tells her to at least take a shower and that they do not have surveillance cameras in the bathroom. She gets into the shower, thinking how Laguna seems to be the most decent guy in Drakken's team.

She recalls how Drakken wants her power. Drakken reveals to her that they have a device that can extract an Ether Gear's power, having done so with his for Illega's Petrification Ray. Rebecca wonders why he needs her super speed, but he clarifies that he is after her Cat Leaper, the power to change the laws of the cosmos. He does not let her know what it does as he does not want her to use it against him. Rebecca wonders why he does not just extract it yet, which Drakken states is because she has not awakened it yet. This is why he is monitoring her to extract her power when Cat Leaper awakens and says that he is the one who deserves this forbidden power. Rebecca wonders to herself what No. 29 means and has to process all this information. She starts missing her friends and wants to see Shiki again. Suddenly, her Ether lines starts glowing and awakens her Cat Leaper. She does not understand what is happening and feels that she is being pulled, falling into a space where she gains cat ears and a tail. She awakens in Sister's infirmary, finding Sister and Happy perfectly fine and nearly identical to when she woke up after passing out in the bath.

Rebecca sees Sister Ivry and Happy perfectly fine and asks where she is. Sister tells her that she is in her room, that's also the infirmary. Rebecca bawls and hugs the two, telling them she had an awful dream and asks if Shiki and the others are okay. She then asks about how long she was asleep, but when she realizes that Sister's explanation is identical to her supposed dream. Rebecca asks where Shiki is, which Sister says is still by the launch deck, she then has Happy call Pino. At the launch deck, Shiki and the others get a transmission from Rebecca, who is glad that they are okay and tells them not to go and that they need to talk. In the meeting room, Rebecca informs everyone of her dream and how real it felt, where they lost to Drakken and that Shiki was killed. She hopes that it was just a dream, but stopped them anyway. Hermit speculates that Rebecca may have gone back in time, hypothesizing the feeling she felt when she first used her Ether Gear indicated the true nature of it. With this Rebecca did the same now and made a time leap.

Witch mentions that they did detect a change of Ether while Rebecca was asleep and presumes her future consciousness overwrote her current self in this time. Hermit notes that this is different from a Chronophage and that Rebecca has likely retained her memories, remarking that it is only a possibility as only she can observe her time leap. Happy wonders if there was something she saw that they can check now, which Rebecca remembers that they captured Labilia. They go to her channel and finds that she has not uploaded in a week, as Rebecca notes she posts a new video everyday. She then calls Couchpo to ask if she has seen Labilia, but she has not. Rebecca checks Labilia's social media and believes they really did get her, meaning that what she thought was a dream might happen. She wonders what to do as they cannot fight Drakken, but she cannot abandon Labilia as they used to be friends. Shiki decides they should rescue her, as a friend of Rebecca is a friend of his. Now having information from the future, the crew decides to fight Drakken. Just as they prepare their strategy meeting, the Edens Zero gets hit. Rebecca realizes that it is the three who used Drakken's powers to board their ship and thought they came because the crew invaded their ship, but now assumes that they were going to break in either way. Shiki notes how everything is following the future she saw and proclaims that from then on it is going to be their future now.

Witch easily dispatches of the invaders, where Rebecca informs the others how Maria is a Space Slime, Diego was going into stealth mode to hide, and that Seth was going to take over the ship's computer systems, which Hermit remedies by enhancing the security. In the meeting room, Rebecca informs the crew about how Drakken's power can change one substance into another and he has a device that can take an Ether Gear's power, wanting Rebecca's power. She suspects Noah had told Drakken about her power and informs the crew of the Element 4 along with Jinn. Sister Ivry asks Mosco if he knows anything about Jinn, which he remembers that he was working for the Psuedo-Sister because he wanted to heal someone. Because of this, Sister plans to get Jinn to switch sides by offering to help him. Rebecca still cannot see a way for them to win, but Shiki has a plan.

In the Belial Gore, Drakken suspects something is off as Seth should have called by now. His assistant informs him that the Edens Zero has changed course and is now sailing towards them at a tremendous speed. Shiki notes how last time they got in trouble for rushing in without thinking, stating this time will be different as they are going on all-out attack. Rebecca promises to save Labilia. The citizens witness the Edens Zero crashing through the ship, including Sibir. Rebecca tells the others that the citizens are likely debtors and does not want to harm them. However Weisz reminds them that they made a hole in the ship, but the hole quickly seals up, which Witch assumes is their ship's automatic repair mechanism. They head to Drakken's residence, where the man himself notes how they are making him look soft and plans to make them pay in full, ordering his men to kill all of them except No. 30.
