Shu gains an unlikely audience with Dr. Tarkovsky who learns about Vermillion's demise. The White Guardian soldiers set up a trap filled with food which Fagino falls for when he transforms into his dragon form. Some of the food he ate contained electrical spikes that seal up Fagino's mouth. As the White Guardian soldiers are assaulting Fagino, Primella receives another vision. Furioso does a fatal blow toward Fagino only to discover that it was a clone made from a Dragon Scale. Fagino emerges and overloads the spikes that were placed in his mouth. Fagino then attacks the White Guardian soldiers. As Fagino tries to destroy Furioso, Shu unleashes Blue Dragon and attacks Fagino. With Blue Dragon keeping Fagino busy, Furioso ends up slicing off his right arm causing Fagino to retreat. Dr. Tarkovsky then tells Furioso and his troops to spare Shu and Blue Dragon.
