Bes later runs into Karala in the woods, mistaking her for a colonist. Gije leads an attack on Solo to rescue Karala, and totally destroys Solo's capital, New Lopia. Fleeing from the attack, a group of children including a baby, Piper Lou, board the Ideon, which finds the strength to fight off the Buff Clan once again. Sheryl meanwhile heads to the second excavation site, where a giant spaceship has been discovered.
