While B.A.B.E.L. works feverishly to locate Minamoto and Carry, Dr. Sakaki explains the prologue thereof.

Kyousuke amusedly observing the confrontation set aside for the moment, things get even more complicated when Aoi and her teammates phase in demanding an explanation for the situation. Frightened by the aggregate agitated ambiance, Carrie immobilizes everybody with an acoustic shockwave before phasing out with Minamoto.
