Raki arrives at the city surrounding Pallas Verda to assist the others with a delivery of Cloth-restoring Gold Star Sand but is attacked by the Pallasite Loge, armed with a new triple rod. Koga and Subaru appear to protect her, but while Koga's cloth is too damaged, Subaru's suddenly stops moving out of grief for all the Saints who died wearing it. Eventually, he manages to help Equuleus overcome its sorrow and he defeats Loge with a Pleiades Impact. Meanwhile, Saori awakens and retrieves the Cloth of Athena to join the battle as well, accompained by Kiki, Fudo, and Harbinger, the last to whom she has entrusted the protection of the Cloth. Meanwhile, Professor Asamori sorties Daichi, Ushio, and Sh?, the original Steel Saints.
