The episode begins with Ike saving Fu from a dangerous fall, although Otto Zora attempts to intervene, only to be stopped by members of the Argentum Corps. Grateful for Ike's rescue, Fu suggests using the magic he absorbed from Zora to defeat him. At that moment, Christopher steps in and offers to confront Zora while advising Ike to take care of Fu.

A glimpse into Christopher's past reveals his complicated relationship with his mother, whose obsession with royalty led to her downfall. After her death, Christopher pursues a career as a mercenary, preferring illegal missions because they are thrilling. His remarkable battle against a dragon catches Starlia's attention, and she recruits him.

Back in the present, Christopher engages Zora in combat. Meanwhile, Ike and Fu share their experiences before joining forces with Christopher to attack Zora, inflicting severe injuries. As Zora realizes her defeat, she reflects on her transformation and the missed opportunity to better reward the Argentum Corps for their victory. Wielding a silver blade, Ike ends Zora's life and honors his fallen allies. Fu succumbs to his injuries, and Nazarena informs Ike of Starlia's death, prompting them to plan an assault on Ultimatia's empire.

The scene shifts to the psychological battle between Crimson and Ultimatia. Meanwhile, at Solarian Frontline Base 17, multiple Carula clones are seen tending to wounded soldiers. After one Carula clone tends to a patient, it rapidly ages and dies, expressing surprise at another clone's grief over its death. The remaining clone is moved by the gratitude of the man it saved and accepts the thanks meant for its deceased counterpart.

The episode also depicts Borgius's brutal fight against Chimera and her allies, which results in their deaths. Borgius then confronts Slime and presumably kills him before mourning Nebulim's remains. The episode concludes with a mysterious rift appearing on the battlefield during Crimson's clash with Ultimatia, signaling an unexpected twist in the ongoing conflict.
