Itsuki is a naturalist, she insists that humans must not rely too much on QT, such as Honoka using her EX-QT powers to create flames. She thinks humans are slowly but surely becoming less natural, relying too much on QT and no longer wishes to return to a natural Earth, like Akiha, who shows no interest in nature and the Earth itself. She feels sad that humans didn't really left Earth to let it recover, but actually abandoning it completely and have forgotten the roots of humanity. The actions of Honoka and Akiha saddens Itsuki, but she says she understands.
Meanwhile Tsutsuji who originally suffered from having a minuscule existance, a life which nobody cared and had no meaning, suddenly found that she had a greater destiny awaiting her. She realised that she survived and such a fight and dropped down to Earth totally unscathed, she figures that it must be God who's giving her a chance, she survives because she is chosen by God. She takes on a new life, from now on she will not be the same Tsutsuji, she will be someone greater. She sets out for her new life towing Benkei along.
Awesome waifu qmeister has chosen lol
Itsuki explains that she was born here on Earth, in the Kirkwood World Leading Authority(or something like that). Her father was incharge of Earth immigrations to outer space.
Back in the colonies, Nami enjoys the snowscape. She sees the snow covered landscape as a place where everything is white, everything is covered, everyone and everything is the same, everyone is gone, a world left for herself and Aleida. Aleida says that its a new world for Nami and her new life story.
Just then the Earthlings surround and capture the group, Itsuki says they're not supposed to hurt the Earthlings. The Earthlings separate them into 3 groups, Navibito(Navi people), humans and demons. The Navibito and Brains seem to have some importance to the Earthlings, the humans Akiha and Itsuki are seen as neutral, but Honoka is seen as a demon, which we soon learn why.
A large mechanical structure looms over them and suddenly multiple white ghostly images of Honoka lookalikes appear. Itsuki recognises this as the "Terror Abductions" that happened in her flashbacks, the Honokas start driving the people crazy and gathered them to put on boxheads to march off to the mechanical structure, Akiha was affected as well.
Honoka says the Honokas are her sisters and banishes them, the Earthlings were broken from the control, but Akiha is still under the effects. Honoka takes off the box and slaps her to wake her up, she says people with doubts in their hearts will get taken away. This follows my theory of resisting Nervalism, people who have never been exposed to Nervalism are particularly vulnerable, but those who experienced it have higher resistance and even immunity to it. The Earthlings may have seen many more of their kind taken away as an experience thus they can recover from it instantly after Honoka breaks the effect, but Akiha is deeply affected. Honoka and Itsuki both experienced the effects before are immune.
Just then Sakura appears with the ship and gets everyone on board, seems like she's really sticking with the ship captain role lol, great news for SRW players. They observe as several fighter planes from the old Earth era flies over head and launch missiles and beams at the mechanical structure. Imo-chan rejoices and describes them as F-35 Lightning II's, not a real plane but looks awesome lol. Missiles, beam cannons and each one has their own radar dish.
The structure escapes and they decide to check on the crash pilots, which they found were all AI controled. Ul says that the fighter and its systems were the predecessors of QT-ARMS. Honoka then drops a device she was holding, she seems to be showing that she sensed something wrong with her hands or body.
Back to Tsutsuji, who gaiend an overwhelming new sense of confidence backed up by God, she stands fearless infront of the attacking Earthlings. Her confidence together with the fearful looking Benkei scares the Earthlings and with a quick henshin, she becomes a Queen and takes the Earthlings as her first slaves. qmeister is in for an awesome ride lol
The girls head towards the location where the fighter jets were deployed, but were caught by some tentacle weed Sakura calls: "Nuru nuru, nyu nyu", slimy and soft. They were controlled by the island's controller who types with his incredible feet, an old man with an extremely long name, shortened as 'Fon'. Fon says he doesn't care what QT users there are on board, but he wants his ship back, yes that ship is his. Honoka gets to the deck and Fon is shocked to see her, she then jumps over board to strangle him, calling him a traitor.
My speculation, seeing that the ship belongs to Fon, he recognises Honoka and that he's voiced by Fukuyama Jun, there's a high chance that Leopard's AI was based off this old dude. They both look and sound as cranky as each other.
