Two weeks have passed since the Daedalus operation. A squadron of UN bombers are sent to deal with the AI at its facility, but are destroyed by yet another typhoon. After visiting the ruins of Duomo, Kunihito brings Kuniko to witness a strange occurrence, where a star-shaped pattern appear on the ground with Atlas at the center when their blades meet. Nagiko and Talsian explain this further, revealing that the symbol first appeared when the second Great Kanto earthquake occurred. When Atlas was built on it, they are unable to stop the oscillations from happening, and used the sacrifice of young girls to Hiruko to stabilize the seismic changes. Kunihito's blade is stolen by Karin and both sun and land blades are presented to Mikuni. Karin intends to make Mikuni the successor so she will get more richer and powerful. Karin is informed by her peers that Medusa intends to destroy the world economy and create another Great Depression. Ryoko tips off the UN to Karin's presence in Akihabara and they send an aerial fortress, Titan, to wipe out the city. An explosion destroys a large part of Akihabara but Mikuni and Sayoko are protected by Miko/Hiruko, who vanishes after expending his powers.
