Later, two Purple Haze knights appear before Tamaki and a fierce battle begins. Tamaki vows to protect Juggernaut and take him to the surface. However, the opponents are extremely powerful and Tamaki could feel the heat. Just when she is about to give up, Captain Obi and Gustav arrive to rescue them.

Despite not possessing any real fire-manipulating abilities, Obi manages to knock out one of the Purple Haze knights named Sasori. In the meantime, Gustav charges at the second knight and headbutts to defeat him.

In the Nether, Shinra faces Dr. Giovanni who has transformed himself into an insect using the Adolla Burst. Dr. Giovanni reveals that the lab they found inside the Nether was nothing but a trap for the Special Fire Force.
