Episode Description:
As Haruto heads to Ibara's location, Aoi gets captured by the leader of the Ghosts, Commander Kunikida, who demands that the Coppelions join them or they will never see Aoi again. Ibara, realizing the Ghosts attacked the JAXA survivors in order to lure the Coppelions in a trap to capture them, heads with Oyakata to the First Division base at a park to rescue Aoi, where she manages to hold Kunikida at gun point and orders him to release Aoi. Ibara, hesitating to shoot Kunikida, is beaten by his troops. She is saved when Haruto arrives on his AMV and retrieves her, while he is forced to leave Aoi behind. After Ibara regains consciousness, Haruto mentions not to worry about Aoi. Thanks to a transmitter that Haruto placed on Aoi earlier, the Ghosts are tracked at a nearby water treatment plant to retrieve barrels of radioactive waste. Ibara and Haruto begin their plan to rescue Aoi while Gennai and Oyakata distract the troops. However, Ibara is shocked to learn that Haruto and the Cleanup Crew were trained to kill people, which she is against. Despite Haruto killing some troops, Ibara hopes to rescue Aoi without killing anyone, but she is caught by Kunikida. To her shock, Ibara learns that the First Division's bodies have mutated and adapted to living in the radiation, hence they do not fear dying. Ibara offers to help him, but Kunikida orders one of his tanks to shoot them, yet Aoi manages to escape. However, Aoi, Haruto, Gennai and Oyakata find Ibara heavily injured.
