Takuya and Cobra reach the base, but the mysterious youth has departed. Takuya reactivates the Seekers and summons Rina. Cobra explains that Omega Dain controls LBX units via brainjacking through the M Chip, though Professor Yamano excluded this chip from Perseus and Elysion. A third LBX from Yamano will be awarded at the Shibuya Town Martial Arts tournament. Takuya tasks Yagami with investigating Omega Dain. Ran Hanasaki wins the tournament and receives the LBX Minerva. She battles Detector LBX units with Warrior, but Warrior is brainjacked. Minerva defeats Warrior and faces Achilles Deed, a black Kunoichi, and a black Hunter. Ban and Hiro assist Ran, eliminating the Kunoichi and Hunter while Achilles Deed escapes. Ran joins the Seekers. Overseas, the president of A Nation orders research into the LBX crisis. The vice president consults Omega Dain, while the defense secretary contacts Yagami and Zaizen. CCM signals for Ami and Kazuya are detected on a plane to A Nation before transmission cuts. Ban and his team travel to A Nation to investigate.
