Kain's Sword-Breaker is still under repair and has only 75% of full force. He can not counter attack against Nezard, but, just to run amok. Then, Ragdo-Mezekis joins Nezard in pursuit of Sword-Breaker. Can our heroes run away from their gigabyte attack?

SwordBreaker blasts through a barrage of enemy ships with Canal (dressed as a cheerleader) cheering Millie and dissueding Nina from helping aside from bringing them refreshments. No matter how many units they destroy, more enemy units keep appearing. The group heads toward Tor Beta. Gore Nova merged with Dark Star becoming an awesome fighting power. Kain heads toward Dark Star in a shuttle in order to shut the power off in Dark Star so SwordBreaker can fire a psybeam from within and destroy Dark Star. Canal reveals Millie's true identity as Millenium Feria Stargazer, the daughter of the leader of Nightmare. Millie's not sure because her family had nothing to do with her. Millie gets transported to the battlefield where Kain and Stargazer are fighting.
