This episode continues where the last one left off. Inside the city, the battle is still raging, but the Core Fighter has been washed up onto the shore of an island. Ple and Mondo find it, and while Mondo goes to get the medicine, Ple leads away Leina. She ends up trying to kill Leina, saying that she already has a brother and a family, but she herself had nobody. Judau appears on the scene, and stops them fighting, saying that they're all siblings together. Ple seems to accept this, and offers to take care of Leina while Judau goes off to help his friends, who are valiantly defending them from Glemy forces. Judau gets the ZZ transformed, and also helps to defend the island against the reinforcements, Team August, several Dreissen suits, who don't seem to mind who they hit, friend or foe alike. Ple, realizes that Leina has a fever, and so goes to wet a handkerchief to cool her down. During the fight, Glemy's escort, a woman in a Dowadge gets shot down, with the suit landing straight onto where Leina laid half asleep. It bursts into flames. Team August is overwhelmed by the AEUG, and they retreat, as does Haman's flagship, which is under pressure by the returning Argama. Judau rushes to the burnt out hut where Leina was, but there is nothing remaining apart from a burnt out shoe. Both he and Ple weep, but Roux tells him that they should go, because reinforcements from the enemy will be there any minute, throwing the shoe into the inferno, and telling him not to let her death be in vain. Ple tries to console him, "In the future, I could be your Leina", but he pushes her aside, as she starts crying harder. (Source: Wikipedia)
