A Persistent Bastard

With the spatial suit alien beaten back, Okarun rounds on Momo over the reckless move she pulled earlier, confessing that he feared she had been killed before relief washes over him. Their abilities have switched off, so the pair bolt to avoid the clash erupting between Aira, the Evil Eye, Mantisian, and the remaining invaders. Bamora, sealed once more inside her kaiju shell, shields the two from an attacker bearing down on them.

Aira still needs Momo at the warp gate to seal it, and she directs Mantisian to carve a route as foes press in from every side. Hastur, stripped of his own suit, clamps onto Bamora's kaiju and assaults her from within to hijack it, forcing the machine to turn on Aira and shift into its brutal Slaughter Mode. Momo pleads for Aira to rescue Bamora once Hastur drags the girl out and pins her, but the path is choked with enemies. Salvation arrives anyway: Kinta tears through the alien ranks atop his nanoskin motorbike, breezily apologizing for showing up so late.

Okarun lectures Momo about her dangerous gamble before the two retreat, with Mantisian guarding the now powerless duo as they push toward the warp gate. Hastur weathers Okarun's blow and worms his way inside Bamora's exosuit.

Seizing the machine, Hastur triggers its Slaughter Mode and balloons it to towering size. The fight tips when Kinta crashes through the swarm on his nanoskin motorbike, arriving to lend a hand. The encounter falls under the clash labeled Family vs. Kur.
