Ep. 17: Der Ring der Freundschaft

17

Engulfed by the electrical storm, Leopard's colony begins falling towards Jupiter. Sakura's scarf and hat reveals itself as an alien named Yupitan, and suggests using the Benkei colony (which is still attacked to Leopard's colony as a result of their fight) to provide the additional acceleration needed to escape from Jupiter's gravity well. With help from Tsutsuji and the QT-Arms, the plan is successful, and they come across an abandoned space station. Yupitan tells them it was the old base of the Shishido family when they were fighting Nerval, and they discover that the energy stored there will allow them to hyperjump back to Kirkwood. However, Loepard refuses to hyperjump, so they get Benkei to do it instead. At the refugees, Bou and Min are assigned to help infiltrate Surre Academy, but they see Nami brutally force one of the students into a box and run away, leading the Nervalist forces to the refugees. As Nami leads an assault on them, Leopard and Benkei suddenly appear. (Source: Wikipedia)
