[The episode begins with Sensei and the students facing off against Toki in the hacked Abi-Eshuh. The fighting is intense, but they are unable to inflict effective damage.]
Momoi: Ack, no good! None of our attacks are reaching her!
Chihiro: It's the same problem we encountered as last time. The city's high amount of data and live calculations being funneled into the Abi-Eshuh.... Giving it the power to see the near future.
Midori: We know that! Is there any way to stop it?
Hare: (long-range comms) Hacking it is a no-go. Even without Rio's interference, the Divi:Sion system has taken too much control over the area. If we attempt to hack their broadcast signal, it would bounce to another tower at a different location.
Chihiro: And we can't attempt our previous strategy, unless one of you are able to beat her one-on-one.
Momoi: (sweating face) Ugh... impossible. There's only one crazy enough who could do it, but she's not here...
Himari: (long-range comms) Toki-chan, how are you holding up?
Toki: Still immobilized in the suit, but unhurt. Do not concern for my safety. Do what it takes to stop me and the destruction of the world!
Himari: ...I appreciate your service to the mission at hand, but I won't forgo your well-being for anything, not even the world. Hold on a bit longer, help is on its way.
Toki: (sweating face) ...
Kei: (long-range comms) How foolish. You would give up everything to protect your ally?
Momoi: !!? Kei, let Toki go!
Kei: I refuse. Your inability to attack your ally is simply the consequence of "friends." Attachment is a sign of weakness, something witnessed too often in the princess's sea of memories...
Yuzu: She... She sees Arisu's memories?
Kei: Nonetheless, I will correct these faults. The princess does not require "bonds" or "friendship" in this world. It is useless, as it is evident now.
Yuzu & Midori: (teary eyed) ...
Momoi: (spirited expression) NEVER! Our friendship is NOT useless!
