The DarkArmoras in the castle were defeated. Later, More Kurokage Soldiers appeared armed with different weapons, and they attacked them. Knuckle wants to know why. And he saw that the Kurokage Soldiers that attacked them are from the Sigurd Empire. The Kurokage Soldiers have wiped out all the surviving Kurokage Soldiers except Knuckle who is immensely injured. Sigurd comes towards Knuckle. Knuckle calls him a traitor for betraying their world to the Legion. Sigurd brushes Knuckle off and shoots him with a Sonic Arrow.

Neo Alliance arrives at World of Sengoku, Gaim Empire City. Cross turns on his communicator device and activates a hologram of Ryoma speaking to them. Gaim thanks them and apologizes for arriving on such circumstances. Ryoma assures Gaim that Neo Alliance will provide protection as they are allies.

Inside the castle, with four leaders of World of Sengoku gathered, they discussed about the recent attacks. Zangetsu says we should gather the other leaders to prevent more casualties. Baron tried that earlier, but they refused as they are neutral empires. Ryugen suggests trying again, but failed as no response or refusal. Neo Alliance will send a team to negotiate with the other empires. Zangetsu plans to do the same by negotiating with the Bravo Empire. Neo Alliance will negotiate with the Knuckle Empire.

Back at the Sigurd Empire City, Ali sent Shadow and a platoon to eliminate the Bravo Empire. Ali then contacts Gaisorg, telling him that he feels uneasy helping Sigurd and Duke as they might betray them for their armies and resources. Gaisorg tells Ali not to worry as he has something if something was to happened.

Neo Alliance arrives at the Knuckle Empire only to find it completely destroyed. They searched around for survivors but found none at all. They also found pieces of armor belonging to DarkArmoras. Later, a silhouette appears and attacks them. Eyes easily apprehends the silhouette. The silhouette is revealed to be a Kurokage Soldier from the Sigurd Empire. They wanted to take the soldier back to the Gaim Empire for interrogation, but the soldier tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, but Eyes manages to catch him with his scarf.

At the Bravo Empire City, the platoon has pushed the empire back into a corner, but managed to hold on. However, Shadow and a group of Kurokage Shin Soldiers have arrived. Shadow charges and kills the Kurokage Soldiers of the Bravo Empire. Bravo and Gridon destroys the remaining troops. Shadow runs towards Bravo who tells Gridon to stay back. Shadow overpowers Bravo and kills him and later Gridon. Shadow tries to enter the castle but the Zangetsu Empire interferes, forcing Shadow and his remaining forces to retreat.

Back at the Gaim Empire, the captured soldier is being questioned by Baron and Ryugen. Cross asked what is the Sigurd Empire. Gaim replies that the Sigurd Empire along with the Duke Empire are corrupted empires who tried to take over other empires by either politics or force. But ever since the start of the World Council, Sigurd and Duke couldn’t attack with some of the leaders backing up World of Sengoku. But with them working for the Legion of Horus and such desperation. They have no choice to take over World of Sengoku right now. Cross confirms that now is also a Neo Alliance matter because of involvement from the Legion of Horus.

Inside Marika Empire Castle, the castle was discussing about joining the other empires. Her own council refuses to join the others as they will bring the war to the World of Sengoku. The Kurokage Shin Soldier and the other soldiers said that the war already began when the Sigurd Empire joined forces with the Legion of Horus. Marika agrees, saying she would join forces with Gaim and the other empires for protection and safety of her own empire. Two of her council refused and yell the DarkArmoras to come out and kill her. A squad of DarkArmoras appeared from the roof and attacked Marika and her troops. Killing several of the troopers and the two council members on the throne room, the DarkArmoras focused their efforts on the Marika, resulting in Marika being wounded as one of the DarkArmora shot her arm, which caused her to drop her Sonic Arrow, but not before she destroyed three of the DarkArmoras. However, as the remaining council traitors attempted to eliminate her, a remaining Kurokage Soldier prevented a traitor from following through as he blasted him which allows Marika to kill the other traitor with her Sonic Arrow. With the DarkArmoras destroyed, the surviving trooper was killed upon the entry of a group of four Kurokage Shin Soldiers of the Duke Empire, which proceeded to surround Marika as Ali leapt onto the table. Ali battles Marika and manages to beat her, but Marika gained an upper hand with a knife in her pocket. The Kurokage Shin Soldiers interfered and wounded her. Before Ali can kill her, Ryugen and his Kurokage Soldiers barged into the castle and attacked the Kurokage Shin Soldiers. They had Marika escorted out of the castle. Ali ran out of the castle as well.

As Haven tends to Marika, Zangetsu declares it is now a war between the remaining empires against Sigurd and Duke. Gaim tells both Baron and Zangestu to prepare for war as they will take the war to the Sigurd Empire. Ryugen wants to return to his empire to resupply and prepare his troops. Gaim allows this. Neo Alliance splits up with several leaders. But Whizaru refuses as they didn’t bring many people. Cross states he called earlier and put them on standby in case of any situation and the only ones available are Sora and Demonar. Cross says they’ll be arriving by the time they are ready for the war.
