Back with the EDF, Kazuki struggles with thoughts of Mitsuki Rara. Ayuko brainwashes Mitsuki Rara to pilot the powerful HIMC robot, which rejects her due to her feelings for Kazuki. The Rara army attacks EDF headquarters with HIMC and Original robot copies, overwhelming defenses. Kazuki’s pleas to Mitsuki Rara fail, and HIMC destroys Hartzenen. In a desperate move, Kazuki summons Zinv, a hidden robot, to repel the invaders and save Mitsuki Rara, as HIMC escapes.
