Kamina suggests that they should come up with a plan to penetrate through the dead zones using their newly acquired moon-based supercomputer.
Simon, Yoko, and Kamina embark on a mission to infiltrate Lordgenome's battleship and use the supercomputer to gain access to the dead zones. However, as they approach the battleship, they are intercepted by an army of Gunmen, the four generals and Cytomander.
Cytomander, one of the generals, challenges Kamina to a Mecha fight, and they both use their spiral energy to overpower each other. Kamina is on the verge of defeat when Simon encourages him to keep fighting. Kamina finally defeats Cytomander using his signature move, Giga Drill Break.
