Sally and Kanade go hunting for more orbs while Kuromu and the others prepare an ambush on any attackers, leaving Maple with May and Yui to defend the base. Sally soon finds herself surrounded by Frederica's forces, prompting Maple to leave the base to come to her aid and allowing Dread to attack the base. Although Dread manages to deal May and Yui their first defeat, Maple manages to stop him before he steals any orbs. As Sally gets some rest, Maple, May, and Yui launch an attack on the Flame Emperors, breaking through all of their traps before eventually coming up against Mii, Markus, and Misery.
