Episode Overview
Dio and Luciora examine their crashed star-shaped craft. When Luciora activates the camera, they spot Alvis being shielded by Claus. Meanwhile, Tatiana and Alistia arrive at the emperor's palace to report that the "cargo" is securely on the Sylvana. Al, curious about the ship, wanders off to the hangar, where the mechanics keep her entertained until Sophia arrives to take her back. Sophia then leads Al to Claus and Lavi, but their discussion is cut short by a blaring red alert—an impending Guild attack on the Sylvana. During the chaos, one of the star-shaped machines boards the ship, targeting Alvis, but a mechanic manages to destroy it, albeit damaging Claus and Lavi's vanship in the process. Claus volunteers to pilot and fight, receiving a quick refresher on combat flying from the mechanics. As another star-shaped machine infiltrates the ship, Claus prepares to take to the skies in his vanship.
