Mira works with the Eastrivers to destroy the robot, but is nearly lost in the region of nothingness before Kyouma recovers to save her. Kyouma reveals he woke up by removing an implant that had been secretly placed in his ear, and that he's begun to regain his memories. A heavily damaged Lwai then arrives, warning that Hitman K.K. and a mind-controlled Yuri had attempted to take his life. Meanwhile, Chrysler confronts Loser, and it is quickly revealed that Chrysler is also secretly using Numbers in his suit. Kyouma, Mira, Lwai, and the Eastrivers then encounter K.K., who tells them that was hired to ensure nobody finds the Coil hidden on Easter Island and sends Yuri to attack them. Kyouma is separated and forced to fight one of his old Grendel teammates, Doug, who is now a lifeless puppet under the control of K.K. Kyouma destroys Doug's control device, putting him to rest, but K.K. escapes and kills Lwai. An enraged Kyouma is about to kill K.K. when he is stopped by Mira, and a second Lwai appears, explaining that he has multiple bodies.
