Synopsis

Woglinde, A.G.W.S. Hangar

The group appears in a place Tron recognizes: The battleship Woglinde from the Galaxy Federation Army. They were somehow sent back to the future again, but they start to mourn the loss of Arthur. But just then, who else appear but...Arthur?! It seems his armor managed to protect him from the blast of Alisa's Spam Bomb. He then asks Valkyrie if she had what he asked for, and she procures a spare suit of armor. They figured out that it lets the wearer survive any attack once.

Now that everyone's together, they try to figure out what to do next. Given that space and time is on the fritz, it's no surprise that the Woglinde they are on is from another time period. Haken suggests heading for the bridge, but one of the Servbots detect an energy source somewhere on the ship. With that, they decide to split into two groups: one to check the bridge, the other to find the detected energy source. Lindow asks Alisa and Soma to go with the bridge team and to contact them if they find anything.

Woglinde, Bridge

The team on the bridge arrive and find that it's completely empty. Though some think the idea of ship floating among the stars is beautiful, it's not really helpful that they're just drifting in space with no captain at the helm. Gemini thinks about trying to pilot it, but they'd need help from an expert like Tron or Devilotte so they decide to head back.

...Unfortunately, a large group of Gnosis appear. However, it seems that someone already cast the Hilbert Effect on the area, so they decide to take them on.

As they fight their way through the Gnosis, more monsters appear and so does their commander: Selvaria Bles. The moment Imca set her eyes on her, her rage came to the surface. Her heart set on revenge, as she recalls how her home village of Tilca was destroyed and Selvaria figures it out. After attempting to challenge the Valkyria, Yuri offers assistance. It seems that Selvaria wound up here after the magic circle in Marvel Land was used, and she split up from Saya and T-elos. When Kurt asks where she got the monsters, the general stops with the answers and decides to settle it on the battlefield and another battle was about to begin.

As the battle continues, two demons show up: Jedah Dohma and Riemsianne La Vaes. They learn that travelling between worlds has become easier due to the recent events, and also that the demon queen is the one who gave the general her soldiers. More guests show up: Toma and Cyrille, who disappeared since their first encounter in the magic chamber. Weird introductions aside, both sides are now prepared for battle.

Selvaria retreats after being bested, saying that Imca's revenge will have to wait. Riemsianne makes her escape, and so does Jedah.

After the battle, Toma and Cyrille explains themselves on their world, the Shining Force sword, and the god Malxatra who is trying to destroy it. Toma hopes to get her back to their world, though Cyrille suggests a... darker method. Soma wants to let the others know what happened, so Alisa contacts Lindow to give the other team an update on what happened.

Trivia

• The final boss of Shining Force EXA, Malxatra, is incorrectly spelled as Malaxtra. This error also occurs in Chapter 39.
• Unlike in Namco X Capcom, the chapter that takes place in the Woglinde's room happens before the one in KOS-MOS's calibration room. There, it is reversed.
