## Summary

Shiki and the others searches through Drakken's base to find Labilia. They are soon found by some of Drakken's goons,forcing them to fight. Shiki runs up tithe ceiling and takes out a number of them with a Gravity Windmill Kick. The remaining goons are shocked by this and are soon knocked out by Rebecca and Weisz. Pino tries analyzes the building to find any jail cells, but Rebecca stops her as asking one of the goons would be easier. Meanwhile, Sister whips Daichi, who finds the experience not so bad having been the torturer before. However, he cannot hold on anymore and asks if machines feel pain. He activates his Ether Gear, Pain's Tree, making a tree grows around and entangles Sister. He is delighted to see that she does feel pain and asks how she would like to be tied up, doing various poses. Sister remarks that she is going to pulverize him. Daichi yells at her to try, noting that she would rusty after not torturing anyone in 10 years, and plans on making her feel real pain.

Sister screams in pain but states that she will kill him, annoyed Daichi wants her to say "kill me" instead. Sister compliments his how oppressive he is and soon dispels the tree. Daichi is perplexed as she should not be able to use Ether Gear while trapped, which she explains that the Four Shining Stars uses is more of the optimization of Ether. She states that she thought of trying to be on the receiving end, but prefers being the dominant one. She over heals Daichi, making him explode, she states that she will not kill him and begins torturing him once more. Elsewhere, Laguna is struggling against Witch, who ponders on his reasoning for fighting for Drakken, as he had been an actor before retiring. Being told that it is none of her business, Witch agrees but state her reason for fighting, to protect her family and will eliminate any enemies. Back to Shiki's group, they find that Labilia in her cell, perfectly fine. They wonder for a bit about this inconsistency from Rebecca's recall, when they are found by Sibir.

Homura faces against Sylph in an alleyway. Sylph uses her wind to gather the nearby objects and throws them at Homura, who dodges them. She eventually lands in a nearby building, making her wonder where she is. Sylph reveals herself on the stage, answering Homura that this is a dance club, and that there are no guests or dancers because of her and her friends' arrival. Back at Drakken's building, Sibir has Shiki's group hideout in a storage room, saying that there are no security cameras since he helped build the place. Sibir asks Weisz about his hairstyle change, but Wiesz asks why he is doing here. Sibir answers he saw them on the news and just could not sit and watch an old friend in trouble. Shiki gets angry, but Weisz reminds him that this Sibir has a different history. This makes Sibir asks what time did Weisz comes from. After being informed, he realizes that is was around the time they fought. Sibir calls it a trivial spout, since he and Weisz had made up, albeit with Weisz paying a high price.

Sibir tells Weisz that the case he stole had their group's war funds in his time, rather than Pino. The money did not belong to Sibir, but DJ Zombie. The group wonders who the man is, which Weisz answers that his group were the man's grunts and that everyone in his generation feared him. Sibir continues that Weisz had his arm cut off, saying that is was how they punished thievery back then. Afterward, Weisz had gone to school, where people started calling him a professor, and made amends with Sibir, who was unable to quit the shady business and ended up in the Belial Gore. As for DJ Zombie, he thrived well as a loanshark on Guilst, turning the tourist spot into a planet of criminals. The group realizes who he is talking about, and Sibir confirms that DJ Zombie was Drakken Joe 50 years ago. Rebecca is confused, as he does not look any older, which Sibir adds that he has had that appearance since and this was so unsettling that he was given another moniker, Undead Joe, which Sibir has heard that the man is older than 200. Rebecca hypothesizes that if Drakken wants her powers so that he can return to his younger self, explaining that she keeps her memories when goes back, then he would be rejuvinating himself. She adds that he is preserving his body now and thinks that he is reaching his limit. Meanwhile at the dance club, Homura and Sylph continue their battle, where the Element 4 member manages to steal the Shining Star's sword. In turn Homura creates another pair of swords, joining the two, and starts spinning them, creating wind to defend against wind. Sylph is surprised by this, stating that there cannot be wind other than hers and her brother's, and fears that Drakken will absorb her if her wind stops.

Sylph is afraid of Drakken absorbing her, but her hair clips suppress her emotions, returning her to normal. She sends her wind to Homura, who in turn sends her own. The resulting clash blows both of them away. Homura jumps onto the tables flying, but Sylph traps her in a Wind Cage. The swordswoman decides to make her own wind inside, and manages to escape and attack back. Sylph cannot comprehend how she escaped, which Homura explains that she is the Sword of Edens and one of the Four Shining Stars, Valkyrie Homura. She then finishes her off with Dragon Flash.

At the same time, Witch finishes of Laguna with Edens Glitter. Now that the Element 4 are defeated, Witch proclaims that the Four Shining Stars dance to protect their family. Somewhere in Drakken's Place, Drakken is rejuvenated in a tube filled with liquid, but realizes the Element 4 have been taken down. He expresses that he does not have time and needs to get the cat's power. Drakken realizes something is wrong and suspects that Cat Leaper has been awakened. Meanwhile in the storage room, Rebecca thinks that if Drakken's life is reaching its limits, then he must have a life support system somewhere. They plan to destroy it and defeat Drakken. Sibir knows where the life support could be, but tries to persuade them not to fight Drakken. However, "Labilia" thinks that beating Drakken would be interesting and decides to lend them a hand, revealing who she really is.
