Justice overpowers Shiki with his own "Star Drain" Ether Gear, but Elsie rescues Shiki. Fighting each other to the death, Elsie and Justice are revealed to be royalty from a planet where Elsie betrayed their corrupt government and incited a civil war that killed their families. Having been arranged to marry since childhood, the two pretend to rekindle their romance by sharing a kiss as a distraction to stab each other. Meanwhile, Weisz manipulates his Arsenal suit to move his paralyzed body and release Hermit, enraging Müller into commanding Foresta's robots to kill their human pets. Shiki is treated by a hooded robot with the same gravity powers as him, which the robot uses to immobilize all other machines on the planet. The hooded robot reveals himself as Xenolith, the inventor of gravity Ether Gear and Ziggy's mentor.
