Episode Title:
Awakening of the Phantom Divine Beast.
Episode Description:
A flashback of Philuffy and Lux when they were kids is seen. Lux visits her in her room and she says that she is going to participate in the ruin investigation but Lux expresses his worry over her health though she assures him that she is fine. Lux is inspecting his Bahamut Drag-Ride which has been modified by Lishe in preparation for the ruin investigation. As the investigation begins, Lux and the girls travel inside the ruins and are surprised to find a destroyed ecosystem and suggests that a war took place based on the destruction. The group decides to split up in order to cover more ground. Lux, Noct, and Airi's group discover a young girl covered in rubble. The group calls Krulcifer to check on the girl who awakens at her touch. Krulcifer sees that she is not human and the girl introduces herself as La Krushe, the supervisor of the ruins and she refers to Krulcifer as "Administrator". La Krushe explains that she had lost most of memories and data due to her long slumber and confirms that most of the ruins' functions have been suspended. Meanwhile, the Queen of Atismata and the Four Great Nobles meet and discuss Ragreed's escape and plot to attack the kingdom. However, the army lacks man power due to an insufficient number of Drag-Rides so one of the nobles suggests using the students of the academy to make up for this but Celes' father opposes the idea. The noble also notes that Lux is the only one who could defeat the Ragnarok while admitting his plan to having the former prince work for them in the near future. Back in the ruins, Lux is carrying a tired Phi as they enter a room where the Abyss were being created. Phi suddenly experiences a headache and warns them of incoming danger as an Abyss suddenly appears and attacks them. La Krushe explains that when the ruins enter a state of alert, three Abyss are released to protect it. Lux suggests escaping the ruins but an unusually stern Relie insists on continuing and Phi equips her Drag-Ride and heads off with Lux in pursuit. They leave the ruins and confront the remaining Abyss but Phi is thrown into the old building on the mountain and Lux starts to remember more about the past. He enters the building and remembers that it was once used as a place for human experimentation by the old Empire and Phi was one of the victims. He finds Phi only to be attacked by her as she smiles maniacally and her eyes emit an inhuman glow.
