Hebi dons a gas mask to enter an air casino, aiming to return the crew to the Silver Rhythm Gang’s airship. Plue asks Ruby to board as well, and Ruby claims ownership of the Emperor Gate to waive the toll, easing their burden. The Doryu Raid Squad destroys the gate as the ship approaches the Annihilation Storm, but the vessel continues through. Haru and Plue remain on the main deck while others move to the superstructure. When a tsunami appears, Haru uses his sword to part the water, clearing a path to Symphonia. Concurrently, Deep Snow, the Northern General of Symphonia, releases a dangerous prisoner after ten years of confinement. This prisoner kills members of several criminal organizations while traveling toward Symphonia.
