**Ruler of the 7th Ward** (7区の支配者, *Nana-ku no Shihaisha*) is the second episode of the Ultramarine Magmell anime.

## Synopsis

Inyo turns a young woman named Emilia down when she asks him to rescue her father, but he changes his mind when she brings up the name of his mentor.

## Summary

In a research facility in the 7th Ward of Magmell, scientists comment that they are on a verge of changing the modern medical science. But the alarm then activates and they realize they are under the attack by a large hoard of bear-like beasts.

Following her father's instructions, Emilia goes to look for Inyo and requests that he help her save her father. Hearing about what her father's work is, Inyo doesn't recall knowing him and has no interest in helping out. She asks him again to reconsider, calling him Shuin. Hearing that, Inyo explains he is Inyo and not Shuin, but anything Shuin can do, he can do and accepts her request.

Since Emilia's father works for a big company, they have their own private rescue party and Inyo and Emilia join them on their way to Magmell. Emilia introduces Inyo as her little brother, as she can't bring non-relatives. Heading towards the facility, Inyo and the rest of the party learn that the facility is under attack by a large hoard of Kel-Bears, a normally gentle animal that feeds upon minerals, but when angered it skin turns to steel and becomes uncontrollably violent.

Inyo comments that 950,000 people per year go missing in Magmell and a third of them never return. A man jokes and tells him they will make sure they are among the other two-thirds. Arriving at the facility, they open fire on the animals, while Inyo wonders why Kel-Bears would attack the facility in the first place.

The men manage to kill the Kel-Bears, but Zero informs Inyo that a Skel-Gargon is coming, the 7th Ward's Controller. Emilia wonders why its coming and Inyo explains it got lured by the Kel-Bears blood. The Skel-Gargon starts throwing bounders and kills all the men on the ground.

He then starts aiming at the helicopter. They manage to defend, but a bounder hits and makes them lose their ace, The Dragon Breath Piercing Shell Bomb. Having no other choice, they decide to retreat, but Inyo opens the helicopter door and jumps out with Emilia. They get to the bomb and Inyo creates a missile launcher pad for it, but wonders who he should aim it at, the Skel-Gorgon or the facility.

Inyo then creates and uses a megaphone and tells the researchers to release their hostages and they may be saved. Emilia's father gets reminded of Shuin and decides to release the "Young Ones". The Skel-Gargon gets closer and Inyo orders Emilia to shoot. As the Skel-Gargon is about to dodge the bomb, Inyo pushes it back and the bomb hits and kills it.

Emilia's father releases the Kel-Bears cubs, which reveals that the adult Kel-Bears attacked the facility in order to free their children. On the helicopter, the man leading the rescue party explains that the Kel-Bears babies blood can be refined into the hardest metal in existence. Inyo realizes the bullets they used against the adult Kel-Bears are made of that metal and that's why they were able to kill the Kel-Bears despite the fact that they had steel skin.

Few days later the news reports that the helicopter had crashed due to unknown circumstances, but there are no casualties. Emilia tells Inyo that her father would no longer do any work in Magmell and Inyo believes that is for the best.
