Striker reached the conclusion that it was necessary for the humans to view her as their god to ensure stability of the fleet. Both Ledo and Chamber disagree with her philosophy and decide to destroy her. Ledo merges his nervous system with Chamber's interface to increase Chamber's capabilities, but risking Ledo's life. However, Amy appears soon after to tell Ledo that he does not need to fight alone. Meanwhile at the Gargantia, Ridget uses the special key to activate an ancient mass driver stored inside the main ship, using it to bombard the enemy fleet. Pinion evacuates his crew aboard the salvage vessel and intends to destroy both the recovered relics and Striker's followers, but is saved at the last second by Lukkage. Ledo and Chamber pursue Striker when she targets the Gargantia. Despite living a life of sacrifice as a soldier, Ledo truly desires to survive and live with Amy. Chamber then relieves Ledo from duty and ejects him to safety before destroying Striker in a suicide attack. Some time later, Ledo has become an experienced excavator in the whalesquid territory, and is also in a relationship with Amy. In the ocean, whalesquid larvae are attached to Chamber.
