A flashback shows how Kyouma met his fiancee, Miyabi Azumaya, and joined Grendel in order to save her life. Grendel was sent to recapture facilities on Easter Island but Kyouma doesn't remember what happened, told afterwards that they'd won the war but Miyabi's surgery was a failure. Feeling that he lost everything because of Coils going wild, Kyouma has hated them ever since. Presently, Kyouma decides to take up the invitation and go with Mira to Easter Island, where the biggest dimensional malfunction in history occurred. Salva explains to New Tesla that he has summoned Collectors to investigate Easter Island so that whatever is found is shared rather than starting another war within the company. The Collectors include Harry & Debbie Eastriver, Yuri Antonov, Jason "Hero" Chrysler, Hitman K.K., Scorpion Cat Cassidy & Sanchos, and Elizabeth Greenhough-Smith & Loser. They are to retrieve a single Coil which has begun working and seems to be allowing the region to recover from the nothingness of possibility. Because Coils do not function there, they travel on a D.A.B.'s airship which suffers power loss as it closes under adverse weather. A strange sphere breaches the ship killing the flight crew, and the airship crashes. Kyouma and Mira are flown by Al along a different route to Easter Island.
