Toru is rescued by Vivi and Zuita where the three of them agree to an alliance to try and escape the Soara before the Stratus and the Council's forces destroy it. Elsewhere, Chaika is brought into a room by Layla where the latter reveals she knows who Chaika identity is. Meanwhile, Toru, Vivi and Zuita learns the horrible truth on what happen to the girls captured by the Duke's men; the girls are tortured by Ricardo which Grad and Layla uses their painful memories as magic fuel for the Soara. Layla reveals herself to Chaika Trabant that she too is a Chaika (Blue Chaika) and reveals the terrible truth; neither she or the others who look like her are the real Chaika Gaz. Layla reveals the Chaikas were created by a mysterious group who gave them different skills and personalities to help them gather Arthur's remains by making them believe they were Arthur's daughter which Layla herself learned from a mysterious creature and remembering Princess Chaika was killed by the Eight Heroes. Chaika goes into denial but Layla tells her to accept the truth while she goes to take her revenge against the group that used her by restarting a war. Fredrika arrives to rescue Chaika only to be killed and dragged by one of Grad's spider monsters. Elsewhere, Alberic and Leonardo tries to convince the captain of the Council Forces to stand down so that his comrades can escape but when he refuses, Alberic resorts to threatening the man's life. Corned by a mind controlled Akari and the Duke's men, Vivi and Zuita hold them off while Toru tries to rescue Chaika.
