Following the vision of Primella, Dr. Tarkovsky leads Shu and the rest of the White Guardians to Z'Mey. At Z'Mey, Noi is researching the Mast Driver just as Bouquet, Marumaro, Kluke, and Andropov arrive. Shu also arrives with Primella as the conversation continues on Dr. Tarkovsky's airship. After the conversation, one of the soldiers enter and report that the Investiture Beings' winged creatures are heading their way. The White Guardians prepare their defenses against the winged creatures. As Conrad and Griz join the fight, the winged creatures overwhelm the White Guardians.
