Fusunani tells Carrie Dunham and Heath Kingsley, specialists from the extraterrestrial research division, that he is a border reform officer affiliated with Efi Dorg's Gezon-Reco Company.
The objects they seek are fragments of the Pivot Stone that was broken when an advance team was wiped out 450 years ago by the Black Relic, whose wielder seemingly betrayed them.

However, Efi Dorg officer Yoruba arrives in a flying geoframe called the Bluebird to check on his comrades, also shooting down a cargo aircraft carrying the replacement parts.
After everyone enjoys a meal cooked by Kennosuke, they then criticize the cosplay fan video edited by Carlos, which blasts heavy metal filmed in a black and white format.
As the battle grows fierce and the research facility soon breached by the Headlesses, the Efi Dorg Spaceship drops many Cactuses, which release electronic parasites that take control of some of the staff.
Before Kennosuke reaches them, Muetta reveals that Efi Dorg plans to use the Pivot Stone to create a wormhole between Earth and its homeland, enabling a correctional fleet to storm the planet and subjugate it.
