Yoshika, refusing to lose, flies off to fight the Warlock. After Minna's group captures Maloney, they use Barkhorn's strength to retrieve everyone's Striker Units so they can assist Yoshika in taking down the Warlock. However, it assimilates with the Akagi, transforming it into a giant airship. While everyone else provides cover, Yoshika, Lynne, and Perrine infiltrate the ship, and use Yoshika's Striker Units to destroy the core. With the Warlock defeated, the Neuroi nest over Gallia disappears, and the 501st Joint Fighter Wing goes their separate ways for the next six months.
