The three Valkyries bring everyone aboard their ship, where our heroes meet their mother, the head Valkyrie. The ship travels to the edge of the universe where the Valkyries show our heroes the bones of all the humans they have killed. Tetsuro and the others try to escape and kill the three Valkyries, who are revealed to be robots. The head Valkyrie reveals that her real daughters were killed by mechanized humans, which is why she is trying to kill everyone. She attacks, but Prider sacrifices himself and is killed. The head Valkyrie permits Tetsuro and the others to return to the 999 and leave.
