Inside the Tuatha de Danaan hangar, Sousuke and Gauron engage in combat. During the struggle, Gauron triggers the self-destruct sequence of his Arm Slave, intending to annihilate both himself and the submarine. With assistance from Kaname, Sousuke ejects Gauron's unit from the vessel moments before the explosion occurs. Following these events, the narrative shifts to Merida Island. There, Tessa is shown sending home the remains of two SRT members who were killed during the earlier takeover of the submarine. This sequence highlights the immediate aftermath of the battle and the personal costs incurred by the characters involved in the conflict.
