Recap: The Yggdrasil travels to the pirates' hideout in the desert, with Fei and Citan on board. Bart goes off to attend to his own business, leaving Citan and Fei to have tea with Maison. It comes out that Bart is actually the rightful heir to the Fatima Dynasty, but was ousted by Shakhan, the former prime minister and now de facto ruler of Aveh. Bart was officially declared dead 12 years ago when he was secreted away by Maison and Sigurd, and they've been building their power since then in hopes of retaking the throne.

Complicating matters, Bart's cousin Margie, the Great Mother of Nisan, is held captive by Shakhan, and they dare not attack with her life in danger. Margie and Bart each have half of the Fatima Jasper, a key said to open the way to a great treasure. Bart returns at this point and speculates that the treasure may be a gear, and leads them to a projection room where they view ancient scrolls depicting King Fatima I "making a blood oath with giants", seemingly implying that the gear and the treasure are one and the same.

Citan agrees with Bart that rescuing Margie should be their next step. Bart asks Fei to join their mission, but Fei, having been quiet for quite some time, adamantly refuses and leaves the room. All of the events of the past few days have been weighing on his mind, and he's decided that he's done fighting and wishes just to live in peace. Bart catches up and passionately makes his case again, also enlisting Sigurd and Citan's help, and Fei eventually says he'll at least take some time and consider it. The Yggdrasil plans to leave first thing in the morning whatever he decides, so Fei heads to the crew cabin and retires for the night.

In the middle of the night, he's suddenly awakened by a loud crash, and an alarm announcing the Gebler special forces have broken into the gear hangar. All pilots are to report to the hangar, and all civilians are to evacuate to the Yggdrasil. Fei heads toward the Yggdrasil, much to Citan's exasperation as he runs in the other direction. As Bart and his crewmates try to hold off the invaders, Citan climbs into Heimdal, a gear in Bart's collection that no other pilot had so far been able to tame, and rides it into battle.

The Gebler invaders appear to be using Drive, a performance-enhancing drug that means normal attacks don't work on them. Just as they threaten the lives of two kids from the hideout, Fei shows up in Weltall, having decided to fight after all. They fight off the specialized drill gear that had been used to break into the hideout, repelling the invading team at last. Having been found, the pirate hideout is no longer considered safe, so Bart's entire crew prepares to leave in the Yggdrasil immediately and continue carrying out their rescue mission.
