(At Manji Valley, Yoshimitsu is seen meditating, seemingly unaware about some of Jack-8 Units approaching the location.)
Chifuyu: (intercom) Jack! Progress Report!
Jack-8: No signal of the rebels, and Yoshimitsu is still in there.
Chifuyu: (intercom) Get moving! Remember, if Ichika tries to interfere, make sure to bring him to me. Alive!
Jack-8: Understood!
(Suddenly the Yggdrasil's I.S. Pilots come in flying from above, but Houki notices the Jack-8 Units.)
Houki: Ichika! Enemies in sight. (sees Yoshimitsu) And they're approaching Yoshimitsu.
(Laura is about to attack, but Ichika stops her.)
Ichika: There is a way to reach Yoshimitsu first without recklessly engaging those Jack Units. If I recall correctly, Ironwood upgraded them to be more lethal towards anyone standing in their way.
(They then dash as they land close to Yoshimitsu, who draws his blade and it clashes with Ichika's sword.)
Ichika: Please, Yoshimitsu. We're not here to fight. Please, listen to what I've got to say.
(Yoshimitsu then notices some Jack-8 Units, and slashes each one of them before returning to his meditation spot.)
Yoshimitsu: You can start talking now.
(Meanwhile at the Dragon Continent, some citizens are seen living in peace, unaware that a half of Jack-8 Units, along with some Evengelion Pilots are about to attack.)
Asuka: Look at them. Did they really think they can live freely?
Toji: What should we do?
Kensuke: Gendo told us that he heard a confirmed report from Kafka that Shinji will be here along with Naofumi and his party.
Asuka: (growls) Why didn't I bring Malty with us when I had a chance?
Toji: Because we don't need two bitchy acting girls!
(Kensuke and Toji start laughing as Asuka angrily has her Evangelion hit her teammates really hard. Shinji and Naofumi's party discretely arrive at the Dragon Continent as he decides to warn the citizens.)
Shinji: Attention, all citizens of Dragon Continent. You are all in danger. G-Corporation is sending several Jack-8 units to capture you and bring you to them.
(The citizens gasp in shock as they find out that G-Corporation is after them.)
Shinji: Naofumi and his party will help you evacuate the city.
Naofumi: (turns to Shinji) Hey, what about you!
(Shinji sees Asuka, Toji and Kensuke in their Evangelions)
Shinji: I'll distract them!
(Meanwhile at G-Corporation, Kazuya is seen watching everything as he simply chuckles.)
Kazuya: Let the battle... (smirks) begin!
