This episode continues where the last one left off. Inside the city, the battle is still raging, but the Core Fighter has been washed up onto the shore of an island. Puru and Mondo find it, and while Mondo goes to get the medicine, Puru leads away Lene. She ends up trying to kill Lene, saying that she already has a brother and a family, but she herself had nobody. Judau appears on the scene, and stops them fighting, saying that they're all siblings together. Puru seems to accept this, and offers to take care of Lene while Judau goes off to help his friends, who are valiantly defending them from Gremmi's forces. Judau gets the ZZ transformed, and also helps to defend the island against the reinforcements, Team August, several Dreissen suits, who don't seem to mind who they hit, friend or foe alike. Puru, realises that Lene has a fever, and so goes to wet a hankerchief to cool her down. During the fight, Gremmi's escort, a woman in a Dowadge gets shot down, with the suit landing straight onto where Lene laid half asleep. It bursts into flames. Team August is overwhelmed by the AEUG, and they retreat, as does Haman's flagship, which is under pressure by the returning Ahgama. Judau rushes to the burnt out hut where Lene was, but there is nothing remaining apart from a burnt out shoe. Both he and Puru weep, but Loux tells him that they should go, because reinforcements from the enemy will be there any minute, throwing the shoe into the inferno, and telling him not to let her death be in vain. Puru tries to console him, "In future, I could be your Lene", but he slaps her away, and she starts crying harder. |
