## Summary

### Day 84: October 17, 2033

Moises is upset and runs to his house, which is filled with trees. He yells in anger and is joined by Emily and Yusuke. They notice a sign with a taunting message about wanting wood, "You wanted wood, didn't you?" it read. Moises decides to declare war on Izuzunu today.

At the election stage, Xuanyu informs 07 and Nugget about a plan that Jun forgot to share. Evelyn, Angie, and Chloe arrive and inquire about Jun's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Jun is discussing the battle with Lilly and comes up with the idea of starting a training camp. Realizing they are running late, Jun rushes downstairs to join the rest of the group at the election stage. They joke around before getting serious about preparations. Jun decides to check on Moises first and asks Chloe to accompany him. They head towards the southern town of Mainland, pretending to be allies with Moises.

After arriving at Moises's house, Moises points out that he doesn't have any armor to wear for the war. So, Jun and Moises sneak into the election stage and hide behind it. Jun suggests kidnapping Evelyn to obtain her metal armor, which Moises agrees to. They successfully capture Evelyn and take her to Moises's house filled with trees. Jun remains quiet while Moises threatens Evelyn, causing her to believe Jun has betrayed the group. Evelyn was never there with the others back at Jun's house when he was telling everyone the plan. Chloe remains hidden behind a tree and does not intervene. Jun stays silent and watches as Moises wounds Evelyn's cheeks before demanding the armor. The situation escalates as Evelyn becomes angry and accuses Jun of betrayal.

Jun and Moises successfully obtain Evelyn's armor. Emily hands over the armor to Moises, leaving Evelyn defenseless. Evelyn runs away to the forest. Jun realizes he didn't share the plan with Evelyn and feels guilty. Moises puts on the stolen armor and the squad sets out to attack. Xuanyu and the others watch as Moises's squad approaches the bridge. Moises splits his squad and they begin attacking. Meanwhile, Emily throws bombs into Mainland, causing chaos and panic among the citizens. The citizens flee in terror as the war begins.

Chloe continues to explode buildings to make it look believable that she's on Moises's side. Yusuke battles Nugget and Max at the North of Izuzunu. In the midst of a chaotic situation, Jun is overcome with guilt for his actions, hearing explosions around him. He watches all the druzels run in fear. Irene confronts him, urging him to join the fight against Moises. Meanwhile, Xuanyu, Edison, and Moises engage in a tense confrontation. In Angie's house, Jun reflects on past traumas from the Raid War. Despite initial hesitation, Jun decides to join the fight, thanks to Irene. However, just as they plan to fake a fight, Emily throws a dynamite into the house. Jun shields Irene from the blast, and the house crumbles, leaving them unconscious on the ground.
