The crew lands infront of the building, but the Element 4 are there to stop them. The Shining Stars lets Shiki's group fly past them as they fight against four.

## Summary

Rebecca wants to save Labilia so the crew and plans to land the ship in an open space. Homura wonders if it is really wise to storm in, which Rebecca is sure of it as she has information from last time and might be able to strike a deal with Drakken if he found out her powers have awakened. When they land however, they find the Element 4 standing in front of the building. The Demon King's Four Shining Stars go off to face them, allowing Shiki's group to fly past them in the Aqua Wing. Fie tries to shoot them down, but Hermit breaks it down. Daichi's excited to fight her, but Sister punches his face, saying that she will be fighting hhim.

Laguna instructs Sylph to go after the ship, but Homura attacks her. Witch faces Laguna and the androids equip their Battle Dresses, while Homura uses Weisz's disguise app to change her clothes. They announce to the Element 4 that they will be their opponents. As the Aqua Wing flies up, the building releases it's turrets and fires at the ship. Rebecca steers the ship, avoiding many of the gunfire but still gets hit by quite a few. Shiki exits the ship, climbing to the top and makes an anti-gravity bubble around them, deflecting all the gunfire. Rebecca uses this and flies straight to the roof and lands there. Shiki spots someone there and Rebecca, in shock, asks what he is doing there. Revealing the person to be Master Noah, who says that he has been expecting her.

Shiki jumps to punch Noah, but goes through him instead. Noah explains that what they are seeing is a hologram and that his physical body is on Blue Garden. He informs them that he can observe people's location with his Ether Gear Eye of God. At first he thought it was useless with the advancements in gps and nanotechnology, but he discovered that his powers extend outside of time. In other words, he can view Rebecca's location and movement in time. He confirms to Rebecca that he knows about her power to time travel and that he had first noticed it around 10 years ago. He saw that she was supposed to pass away in a car accident but she changed her location in time, albeit subconsciously and did not remember it. Even after this event, Rebecca has subconsciously used it whenever her life was threatened or at the moment she died. Noah calls the current world World No. 30, confirming Rebecca that when Drakken called her No. 29 he was referring to the previous world. He notes that somehow she has retained her memories from the previous world and that with this is the only world where Drakken can be defeated. He warns that this world is more perilous than the last, now that Rebecca has awakened her power, if Drakken defeats them then her power will be forfeited and Drakken's World No. 2 will begin. He remarks that he has done inexcusable things to them, but he states that he did it all to defeat Drakken Joe.

Meanwhile, the Four Shining Stars fight against the Element 4. Witch counter Laguna's water blade with her Shield Ether. He expresses his dislike of fighting against androids as they cannot shed tears. Witch then attacks with Lightning Ether and counters that androids do shed tears as they have hearts. Hermit hacks into a drone and makes it shoot after Fie. Daichi is excited to fight against Sister bending his commemorative coin and lifts his torture ban, only to be kicked in his crotch. Sister remarks how cute his 60 days are, showing him her 10 year coin, before she bends it and throws it at his behind. Homura faces Sylph noting that she had lost to her twice in the previous world and proclaims that as her first fight as Valkyrie she will not bring shame to her mentor. Kleene circles wind around her, but Homura assumes Crane Form, cleaving the wind like an elegant crane. She counters her opponent that she will be the one whose wind will be stopped. Back at the roof, Shiki asks that Noah wants to defeat Drakken, calling him out for putting Rebecca in all that danger. Noah asks if there is a problem, getting a glare from Shiki. He notes that Shiki has yet to learn how truly terrifying Drakken can be.

Noah informs Shiki's group about Drakken, how he earned his name as the "Dark Alchemist" from his Ether Gear and his underworld connections. He adds that he also has another nickname, "Undead Joe", and tries to explain but his signal is deteriorating. He manages to tell them how he believes that they must have found his weakness in World No. 29 before his signal is cut off, leaving the crew confused. At the Shooting Starlight Guild, Noah notes how this is his last chance and that if Drakken isn't beaten then he and Blue Garden will die. Rebecca tries to remember what weakness Noah was referring to, but has no idea what it could be. Shiki then reminds that they are going now to rescue Labilia.

Meanwhile, Hermit battles against Fie, who remarks that she is ready to turn into a pile of ash if she wants to fight. He sets himself on fire and remarks how bots are weak to fire and gloats how his flames will burn her out of existence. He shoots his flames at her, destroying her camouflage device and her link to the drone. He then burns his way into the drone and makes it fire a barrage of bullets at her. He asks her to tell him of it hurts and throws the drone at her. Fie escapes into the duct and goes into the nearby building containing his weapon stash. He aims his sniper rifle at Hermit and fires. However, Hermit jumps out of the way and runs Prison Matrix around the building, hacking into the weapons that are connected to the network. Fie is shocked, wondering how she found him, which Hermit explains that he emits a higher body temperature than other humans. Creating a hologram in his armory, she then remarks that he has no hopes of making it as a sniper and makes the guns fire at him. Hermit adds that bullets had Ether coating as she does know pain and states how that is the way of her heart.
