In the northern territory of North America, a speech is given by Nomoa Long and Carris Nautilus – the leader of Fort Severn and his subordinate Newtype. The Freeden heads to Fort Severn to meet the Newtype but are ambushed by Carris in his RMSN-008 Bertigo. The GX battles Bertigo but is quickly defeated due to Garrod's inexperience and Carris's ability as a Newtype.
