Episode Title:
Dear My Friends.
Episode Description:
Kiyama is after the MAR trailers, unaware they are decoys filled with the MAR Troops, but is saved by Mikoto. Kuroko, Mitsuko, Yomikawa, Tsuzuri and the Anti-Skills hold off the rest of the MAR Troops. Kiyama, Kazari and Ruiko head towards Kihara's laboratory, whilst Mikoto defends them from Therestina, who attacks with a giant large mech. Although Therestina's mech is unaffected by Mikoto's basic attacks, Kuroko helps Mikoto destroy the mech by using its own arm as an improvised railgun. Mikoto, Kuroko, Kazari, Ruiko and Kiyama finally arrive at the underground lab where Erii and the children are being held. However, Therestina, who had survived, suddenly activates the lab's Capacity Down and attacks the weakened espers, revealing her plan to use the First Sample from herself and the children to force Erii to become a Level 6 esper, destroying the city in the process. As all hope seems lost, Ruiko, the only one not affected by Capacity Down, destroys its controls, allowing Mikoto to defeat Therestina with her railgun. With the First Sample in hand, Kiyama creates the cure and finally awakens Banri and the other children, giving her thanks to Mikoto. In the aftermath, the recovering children give a birthday message to Kiyama via a blimp as Mikoto and her friends watch.
