FINAL of ALL: VS -VERSUS-

The Big Order Room erupts in cheers for the announcement of Hana’s pregnancy and the joint wedding of Gai & Mikoto and Mamoru & Hana. Volfogg & Piggy present Mamoru and Hana with a visual record of footage he recorded back when he was assigned to guard Mamoru, showing the boy courageously protecting Hana.

Mamoru asks what Hana was saying before, and she admits she thought she had the seed of the New Machine Species inside her. Her health had been off before Jupiter, and she had thought her symptoms matched Mikoto before awakening as Zonuda, she had avoided taking Fly-D5 for that same reason, fearing she would become Zonuda aboard the cramped transport. Mamoru is reminded of when she first saw his abilities, and was scared, not because he was an alien, but because she thought he was an alien who had replaced him, but they promise to be there for eachother. They have been married 11 years, and now 2 have become 3.

The two couples are the centre of attention. Renais recalls her first meeting with Gai after becoming a cyborg, where everything about him aggravated her, feeling he couldn't understand her, as she believed Liger had abandoned her mother. Ikumi understands her, as he had once judged Mamoru for having bonds on earth, he also points out to Renais that he and Mamoru are both older than her now, but she still views them as kids. Ikumi understands now why Renais told him to treasure his parents, feeling a kinship, Alouette sees that both of them see themselves as shadows to the blinding suns.

While his siblings discuss their wish to attend the wedding, Shoryu notices Mic is down, Gai guessing he is worried about Goldy, the only one beside Genesic Galeon and the Genesic Machines not yet restored. Mikoto watches Gai joke with the Mobile Unit and is joined by her fellow GGG Green operators Swan, Kazuo and Entoji, who tease her that she's finally able to be lovers with Gai as the threat is finally gone for good, she's surprised they know of this promise, made by Gai when she decided to join GGG after he reawoke. She's embarrassed, but thanks her colleagues for their constant support of her. Taiga and Geki drink non-alcoholic, nearby are an already drunk Yamajii, Akamatsu, and Yang, Akamatsu gets aggravated with Liger again. Keita and Hinoki watch in bemusement. Sakura is in bed, not used to moving, and Urchin and Tamara need some time to rest. Keita suggests they join the joint wedding, but Hinoki isn't sure, remembering what happened to Kaede and Yanagi after their own impromptu wedding, but Keita firmly insists they can't take those things as jinxes. She thinks of Lamia for a moment, but then remembers her desire to finish Miyako’s work and end Algernon, and agrees.

Orbit Base Deck 3 releases Galeon, Gai and Mamoru wish it well, but now that it has finished self-repairing they were told by Rice to let it find them so they can return it to its proper place. Mamoru and Hana go for a checkup, while Gai and Mikoto have a moment, and she returns to him her pendant, which she had found on Repli-Earth after the battle with GaoFighGar. Confusingly though, it now appears brand new, and contains the high-shool photo of Mikoto the original pendant had had, but that that was lost when Mikoto became Zonuda, the photo it had contained when he lost it was of her in her GGG uniform. Mikoto had left it with her uniform after finding it, it had remained on Kushinada, so it was returned to its “natural state” at the Orange Site. This reminds Gai of how only his Cyborg eyes could see the image of his mother, though youthful, something also achieved by THE POWER. He feels a strange sense of gratitude to Triple Zero, and wonders if it is possible to return to his own “natural state”, confusing Mikoto. He tells her he wants to go back to space exploration, to go further beyond Jupiter, and wants her to come, after the battles are over. She thought they already were.

In the Yokohama Sepulchrum, the others are confused by two Rice’s having accidentally offset himself in time using Tempus, Rakan understand this means Galeon is coming back, the future Rice has already taken it back, then arrived in the present too early. To the other's chagrin, the Rice’s decide to make an ensemble performance.

Born in India, Rashad Singh is now a member GGG America, stationed at UN Alpes Base on the Moon at the location where, in 2005 six of the 7 Magnificent Primevals fused into the Primeval Fusion and fought King J-Der, then in 2009 the Alpes Base was established as part of Project Z, initially as a resupply point and after the Invisible Burst an observation post on Jupiter. Rashad has now spotted an orange glow resembling that of the Conqueror King, on the moon, and the staff must raise the alarm.

On J-Ark’s bridge Ikumi is sharing refreshment with J, who finds he now enjoys earth's food like Ikumi. While genuinely glad Earth has avoided the Red Planet’s fate, J has decided to leave, not feeling at ease on a planet with no need for a warrior, but Ikumi intends to stay on earth, J knew this, but hopes to fight alongside him again someday, though Ikumi wishes he would just rest. Their peace is disrupted by an alarm ringing out.

The alert, along with all communication with UN Alpes Base, is suddenly cut off. Taiga order a probe sent by the Intelligence Division, Entoji already has one 140 seconds out. Yamajii reports sorry dense Z0-Similar readings from the base, Hinoki confirms as the probe relays video, that Alpes Base is mass producing Zero Robos. Gai cannot understand what is happening, but sees on the feed a tiny figure, the probe destroyed before it can get closer, but he knows that is the Conqueror Acolyte.

Sakura warns of what is coming, as she enters the Main Order Room, the Blue Planet’s own Conqueror King. The Ushiyama Brothers make their own dire announcement, all of the GaoMachines and Kakuseijin V2 have all been sabotaged, every unit without a Super AI has been disrupted. Akamatsu's mind turns to Urchin and Tamara.

It is obvious what has happened was deliberate. A flammable substance was mixed with the G-Liquid and Linker Gel, igniting and causing heavy damage, it is obvious given recent events an Algernon afflictee is responsible. Not only are the manned units unusable right now, the Carpenters are also sabotaged, and the internal security cameras are sabotaged. Big Volfogg secures the Super AI units to J-Ark, and the warship deploys to the area. Akamatsu has Wadatsumi and Yamatsumi follow behind, then immediately heads off.

He is greeted by his father, but quickly meets with Taiga and Gai. Also present are Mamoru, Ikumi, Mikoto, Renais, Keita and Hinoki. Hinoki reports no evidence of Tamara and Urchin leaving the ward. Swan is prepping Algernon examinations for the full crew, though so far only 26% were checked. Yang is working on something with Nozaki, Inubozaki, Hirata and the Maintenance Division, Liger having put them to work on the Genesic Machines. Akamatsu sees the plan, but Gai points out the issue, all of their Control Cores were damaged, they can't currently operate. Akamatsu loses composite before Liger can explain the actual plan. The Cores are repairing themselves, but how long it needs is anyone's guess. Mamoru worries Galeon won't wake up, Akamatsu accidentally guesses the plan is to have one person each undergo Fusion with each Genesic Machine. Gai questions how that's possible. Mamoru, Ikumi, Mikoto and Renais already expected this, thanks to their G-Stones, J-Jewel or Semi-Evoluder status, but Keita and Hinoki are surprised, they're just Dual Kinds, but it's their special brains that are important, not their physical abilities, replacing the special neural networks of the Control Cores, their Dual Kind abilities are the key, the G-Stone and J-Jewel fulfill the same purpose, J could theoretically do it, but they think he's better in King J-Der. Ikumi recalls J complimenting Keita as a warrior, motivating him to accept, Hinoki agrees as well. Yang believes the preparations will be ready in the 40 minutes it takes to reach the moon. Taiga knows they are giving them little warning against an unknown Conqueror King, but he trusts in them. Mamoru will Fusion with Genesic Galeon, Ikumi with GadgetGao, Mikoto with ProtectGao, Renais with BrokenGao, Keita with SpiralGao and Hinoki with StriaghtGao, and it will be brought together by Gai, as Final GaoGaiGar. Taiga explains the name is due to their intent this be the last battle. Taiga is having painted in GadgetGao he mark of GGG Gathering, the symbol he wears as Special Chief, combining the emblems of Gutsy Geoid Guard, Gutsy Galaxy Guard and Gutsy Global Guard, and emblem on gold, green and blue. Everyone pledges themselves to this battle. Gai prepares himself for this enemy, who he hasn't seen, but knows who it will be. After all, he and they always knew they would become enemies.

J-Ark arrives at UN Alpes Base. ShoChoRyuJin is shocked at the sight, Big Volfogg struggles to detect any sign of the base staff. Just before they can deploy, J-Ark is fired on, but Tomoro minimises damage using Generating Armour. J too now knows the identity of the Blue Planet's Conqueror King, and gazes down at the familiar form wrapped in dawn flames. The form of Betterman Cataphract.

Mamoru is about to lead everyone in Fusion, but Gai interrupts, as Hana amhas arrived from Branch Order Room, to tell him to absolutely come back to them. He promises he will, kisses her forehead. He switches into Purification Mode and uses Fusion on Genesic Galeon, and the others go the their respective Genesic Machines and declare their own Fusion.

As Wadatsumi is still enroute, hostilities have broken out. Mega Fusion in King J-Der, and lands, surrounded by ShoChoRyuJin, GekiRyuJin, TenRyuJin, SeiRyuJin, Big Volfogg, Big Porc-Auto and Mic Sounders XIII on Stadio 7. Aside from the King of Braves, all of GGG is here to fight. With 26 Zero Robos detected, the Mobile Unit and Intelligence Division leave Conqueror King Betterman Cataphract to King J-Der. Ougu expresses dissatisfaction with the opponent, but Gajumaru knows they planned for the King of Braves to be unavailable. Sara had brought them to Orbit Base, Hiiragi ripped open a bulkhead, Yewya and Lamia took care of sensors and witnesses, Rakan introduced the flammable substance to the G-Liquid and Linker Gel, while Rice and Gajumaru did the same aboard Kanayago. All this in order to welcome the Time of Patria. Rakan enquires after Lamia's health, thanks to the Dawn Aura he is tolerating Ortus easily, even as Cataphract’s core. This Ortus seed, unlike the one Lamia previously used, was trivial to obtain thanks to Rakan Synthesising Forte Seeds, and the Dawn Aura meant they could form the uktimate Betterman. Rakan accepts Lamia's resolve, but Yewya realises the meaning and is perturbed. A J-Quath is launched, but the fusion of Ortus, Ougu, Turbo, Ahriman, Pondus and Lume dodges. The Brave Robos also find their foes very quick. An attack launched sees use of the Mirror Shield, Protect Protector and Crystal Shield, but all prove useless, and Stadio 7 is blown apart. The Brave Robos are now certain the Somniums have truly fallen to Triple Zero. J, the only one capable of hearing both of them, expresses regret for the situation, as warriors he felt worthy of fighting alongside have fallen so late to Triple Zero, nonetheless promising to repay his debt to Arma and Gai through saving them. He attacks point blank, only for Lamia to reveal that they have not been controlled by the Dawn Aura. As J attempts to process this, Cataphract splits, and King J-Der is struck by Ougu's Flying Saber, Ahriman’s thrusts, Turbo's wings, Pondus’ gravity manipulation, Lume’s oscillations and Ortus’ fists. King J-Der resists, but the Somniums regroup, and launch another attack. Before they can hit King J-Der though, the attack is blocked by GadgetGao striking Turbo, BrokenGao meets Ougu, ProtectGao to Lume, StraightGao attacks Pondus, SpiralGao Ahriman and Genesic Galeon clashes with Ortus.

The Braves marvel at seeing the Genesic Machines, which have Linker Gel used on them so the pilots can withstand the Gs. While Keita revels in the movement, Hinoki marvels at the information she can see right now. Ortus tells Mamoru not to presume he can resist his power, Mamoru stunned by how different Lamia is. A Double Flying Saber comes down, Mamoru dodges and causes it to fall, and Lamia's natural enemy emerged, and engages the Double Fusion into Final GaiGar, Mamoru finding sharing sensations with Gai a little awkward. Ortus demands to see the Root of Evil’s true power, but Gai demands to know why they have done this first. J reminds Gai that when they used THE POWER against the Z-Master none of them were corrupted, Gai argues they still shouldn't be able to resist this long, so Rakan reveals his experiments,collecting residual Triple Zero after each battle, using it on animals to observe the process of becoming Conqueror Acolytes, she could develop a Pectofolex that counteracts Triple Zero, and has now modified it to keep the power of Triple Zero without the Corruption. As Ortus’ power of creation is the opposite of Triple Zero, they coexist. Gai demands to know what this Conqueror Emperor plans for this power, only being told it is for the time of Patria. They show an image of a flower garden where UN Alpes Base had been, an Animus Garden, the base staff on the ground with flowers sprouting. Hinoki recognises Rashad from training, and demands to know why Lamia would do this. Because humans are evolving, the Somniums will perish, so they need a farm to grow Animus Seeds. As Tamara and Urchin are recovering, meaning humanity can eliminate Algernon, Hinoki recognises her work as part of the cause of this. Gai tries to reassure her, but she, Keita, Mamoru and Ikumi have all felt a sense of camaraderie to the Somniums after many battles, and thus find this situation a betrayal. Taiga reminds them not to lose hope, reminding them that they must, as always, fight enemies to humanity, be in it extraterrestrial or neighbours on earth, and fight to the last breath of humanity. Everyone in the Branch Order Room agrees, and Taiga orders the FINAL FINAL FUSION.

Final of Final Fusion commences, and what is born is not the first Mecha, Genesic GaoGaiGar but the ultimate one, Final GaoGaiGar. Ougu unleashed Sanctus again, and inside Ortus, Lamia promises to spare no effort, biting into Nebula and Aqua seeds, adding those transformations to those of the 5 others, forming Betterman Cataphract Kai. The two giants clash. Akamatsu confirms with Hana and Alouette if the G-Armour is ready, but it needs 70 seconds, but Akamatsu is just glad that the final tool they had been preparing for GaiFighGar will still get to see use, after modifying it for Genesic afterwards, though an additional modification was made now. Humans aren't the only ones watching, as at Alpes Base Sara watches from the Animus Garden, she holds a black seed, and prepares to use it, Socius Terra, the seed sprouted from Deus. As she is about to consume the seed, on Wadatsumi, Alouette reports the G-Armour is ready. Gai calls for the Goldion Armour, Akamatsu declares the activation, and Taiga gives approval.

Hana removes her left glove as Alouette does her right, raising their hands as the triple approval sees their terminals flip over to safety device consoles. Together they Safety Relieve the Goldion Armour by placing their palms on the consoles, which read their handprints. Wadatsumi Mirror Catapults 6 of seven G-Blocks, Hana controls 01, 02 and 03 as Alouette controls 04, 05 and 06. Final GaoGaiGar uses the Gadget Feather, escaping the battle with help from ShoChoRyuJin and Big Volfogg, who reside to let Betterman stop GaoGaiGar, they are flung back, but the job is done. The Ul-Tech Engine shaped G-Blocks, but with a gold glow and 3 pronged tetrapods, these have been made in collaboration between GGG branches worldwide. Plasma Cables radiate from the G-Blocks and connect to each part, Broken Connect to G-Block 02, Spiral Connect to G-Block 03, Protect Connect to G-Block 04, Straight Connect to G-Block 05, Gadget Connect to G-Block 06, Galeoria Connect to G-Block 01, and the Goldion Armour is formed, as plasma light flows from each G-Block into a pair of Plasma Wings. The sight surges Lamia's hostility, as Final GaoGaiGar can now move so fast as to approach lightspeed and, decrying Betterman for only seeing them as a food source, attempts to use the Goldion Nails, but Lume once again blocks them with her aura. She then enhanced Turbo’s speed so it can attack Final GaoGaiGar in the rear, but the King of Braves matches the speed, the two move so fast King J-Der cannot deliver support.

Akamatsu wants G-Block 07 launched, this block is so large it needs to be launched by exploding catapult, but the Ushiyama Brothers cannot get a lock on in order or actually get it to Final GaoGaiGar, as it moves too quickly. Taiga has them hold off before Akamatsu can order a reckless launch, and Akamatsu sees there is wisdom in patience right now.

Final GaoGaiGar and Betterman Cataphract Kai keep clashing. Rakan launches a Flying Saber, but Mikoto blocks with Protect Shade. Ikumi activate as Gadget Tool, Renais striking using Will Knife, but Ahriman catches it, but a Broken Magnum frees them from the restraint, followed by Keita’s Spiral Drill, Pondus slows its speed by gravity manipulation, then Turbo unleashed compressed oxygen via Nebula, channelling Psycho Voice as Lamia declares Gai’s time is done, but Gai rejects this, they will be the ones to die, repelling via Genesic Aura. Mamoru, astonished by what he experiences, wonders if Gai is always like this. The rage Gai shows is contrary to the kind brother he has known.

Betterman Cataphract Kai lands where Alpes Base had been, winded by the power of the Genesic Aura. Rakan is impressed by the power of the Root of Evil, Gajumaru and Hiiragi shocked by the speed, and Yewya and Rice note they only resisted thanks to the Dawn Aura. Lamia declares they will draw out his true power, Rakan sees he has accepted fate. Gajumaru spots Sara on the surface, she tells him she is ready, and consumes the Socius Terra Seed.

Seeing Bettermen unable to move, Akamatsu orders G-Block 07 launched, the last G-Block is around GaoGaiGar's size, or possibly a little bigger. Together the 7 minds pilot Final GaoGaiGar and Arm Connect, G-Block 07 rotates and the outer cover burst off, exposing a giant right arm, the Marg Arm, two titanic turbines move with the Broken Magnum, and the giant hand opens into 5 fingers with Goldion Hammers at the end, on the palm the face of the Super AI controlling them, this is the Goldion Finger. This final hyper tool causes Final GaoGaiGar to instantly glow gold, the ultimate evolution of the Goldion Nails. However, the enemy is equal, to it, now combined with Socius Terra, it has taken a new form, the Ultimate King of Superbeings, Betterman Cataphract Terra. Mirroring it's foe, it's right arm also bears a large object, the Socius Terra arm. Gai refuses to back down.

The Socius Terra Arm is like a flower bud, and Sakura starts sensing something, the fear she has of the flower blooming.

Lamia urges Sara to bloom the flower for the Age of Patria, and it is opened, and the orange flames are absorbed into Betterman, the giant turning platinum, the petals a light pink, and produces a black vortex within. Rakan gazes in wonder until Yewya warns their opponent approaches, Hiiragi throws Zero Robos at Final GaoGaiGar, but they are swiftly made light, before even touching the Goldion Finger. Rice recognises the danger, but Lamia is prepared to die to bring the Time of Patria. The Platinum Betterman charges the Golden GaoGaiGar, an attack to make into light meeting an attack send beyond, and lock hands, but the two attacks are cancelled out, Gai believes they still have options. Ikumi activates the Bolting Driver, Mamoru equipping the Genesic Bolt, the intensity of the Genesic Bolt sends Betterman back. The Somniums regroup even as Renais equips the Broken Bolt, Gai using it on the lunar surface to create a huge crater, the gouged out rock flung at Betterman, but the Socius Hand makes it all disappear instantly.

Swan detects what has just happened is the same ST Bypass type seen on Jupiter, though they can't guess where it was sent. Yang tells the shocked Akamatsu that it's possible none of their attacks will work, as Sakura warns of the coming of the Blue Planet’s King of Ruin.

With both attacks failed, Gai decides to create distance, but Betterman is gaining. Renais rebukes Gai’s kindness, she would have used the Broken Bolt to destroy Cataphract from inside, but understands it now.

It feels as though the fight will go on forever, but Betterman changes path, heading for Wadatsumi, 30 seconds is all it needs to reach it, but King J-Der immediately stands in the way, firing a full volley followed by a J-Quath, just barely being swallowed up before hitting, and then vanishing himself, Ikumi screaming for J and Tomoro as King J-Der vanishes into an ST Bypass.

Sakura continues to say the Blue Planet’s King of Ruin is coming, but she is not looking at Betterman. No one has the time to listen to her though, as Wadatsumi vanishes into the ST Bypass, Hana quietly calls for Mamoru, who freezes. Mikoto is shocked to lose everyone, Renais cannot believe she is losing her love and her father, Hinoki cannot believe Lamia would do this, and Keita is just shocked. Pained, Lamia notes it has still not happened. Yewya senses his grief, and questions if doing all this for the Time of Patria is truly necessary. Knowing she is keeping her own thoughts in check out of loyalty to him, Lamia steps forward. As one, ShoChoRyuJin, Big Volfogg, Mic Sounders XIII, GekiRyuJin, Big Porc-Auto, TenRyuJin and SeiRyuJin jump between their captains and Betterman, shielding GaiGaiGar as another ST Bypass swallows them. Gai lets out a scream of rage, his eyes glow a burning orange. Lamia senses the time has finally come, the Blue Planet’s King of Ruin wmhad awakened. The final battle between the King of Braves Final GaoGaiGar and the King of Superbeings Betterman Cataphract Terra is upon us.

8 (Cont)

The Golden King of Braves begins to glow in a dawn Aura. Goldy, Renais and Mikoto recognise the sensation as their power increases, and Gai charges, it is GaoGaiGar Vs Betterman. There is nobody to witness the titanic struggle. Sakura's voice rings out from somewhere the name of Betterman Cataphract Terra’s ultimate technique, Psycho Finale. The ST Bypass in the palm of the hand is swung down, Final GaoGaiGar uses the Goldion Armour to dodge again, causing more lunar bedrock to be lost into spacetime, and Final GaoGaiGar grips Betterman Cataphract Terra in the Marg Hand, and unleashes the Goldion Finger, but the power is again absorbed by Socius Terra, and the two titans again stare each other down. Gai demands to know why Lamia killed GGG, they could have found a way to coexist without Algernon if they worked together. Since exploding in rage he hasn't heard Lamia's thoughts, not have his allies, too shocked by the loss of all of GGG. Mamoru tries to tell Mikoto there ought be a chance they’re alive, so they have to win and asks Betterman how to get them back, he snaps her, Hinoki, Keita, Renais and Ikumi out of their shock. Renais remembers she can't let J, Liger and Porc-Auto down, Keita realises Mamoru should be feeling worse than everyone else, Hinoki realises she should know for sure if it's her fault Lamia did this. 6 if them have now gained clarity, but Gai is still in a rage, using a Straight Drill, and continues striking, avoiding using the ultimate tool, and the Somniums feel overwhelmed. Turbo’s wings move to strike GaoGaiGar’s neck, but the jaw parries, then Ortus' Double Firing Sabers stab at the head, but the Goldion Armour lets it dodge. Mikoto equips the Protect Bolt, wrapping a barrier around around the moon and Betterman, trapping them. Rakan and Hiiragi see they are trapped, and Gai prepares to make the Betterman Light, even as Mamoru tries to say they need them alive. An ST Bypass appears last second, Betterman appearing behind GaoGaiGar they prepare to welcome now the Time of Patria, and thrusts again the Double Firing Saber, but are blocked by G-Blocks 01 and 06, which shatter, wrapping both fighters in energy, as Gai has the remaining G-Blocks strike at Betterman.

Lume cannot block all the damage, the barrier vanishes, and and the Goldion Finger comes down at them. Lamia recalls how Seeme died to protect him, though Yewya seems content to be is shield, as she becomes light. Seeing the threat of the Goldion Finger, Ougu's Flying Saber sever the right arm at the shoulder, Renais and Goldy telling Gai to just keep going. Still driven to kill, a Spiral Drill thrusts, Ahriman wraps around to constrict it, but is wrapped up as well and pulled off Rice’s thoughts stop. Keita kicks up to rip off what remains of Ahriman, then tries to come down on Betterman, but Turbo blocks and blasts it off, Keita’s voice fades as Hinoki yells for him. Her own pain comes out as SpiralGao explodes, ripping off Turbo, Gajumaru sacrificing his presence for the sake of the combination, leaving Sara to Lamia, Sara to is consumed in grief. Socius Terra moves to crush GaoGaiGar’s head, but Mikoto blocks with Protect Shade, both the left arm of the King of Braves and the right arm of Betterman both explode, Mikoto trying to tell Gai what she wants for her honeymoon before being cut off, Gai and Lamia both yell in rage. Pondus delivers a supergravity kick as Hiiragi expressed sorrow as he lives humans, but Ikumi rejects that as they won't be livestock, using GadgetGao detaches to block and tear apart Pondus, but is crushed, Mamoru calling out to his partner, as his consciousness fades Ikumi reflects that he really is glad he became friends with Mamoru, and pilots the bird, turning it into Will Knife form, and unleashes J-Jewel power to pierce into Pondus. Hiiragi falls silent, as GadgetGao is totally flattened. Mamoru yells with a fury matching that of Gai, two wills controlling the King of Braves with only a right leg. Gai demands to know why Betterman is going so far, Hinoki demand to know if Lamia really won't let them overcome Algernon, delivering a dropkick, but Ougu blocks it, Rakan's last thought being admiration of their adaptability, but saying the Root of Evil must be destroyed, as the Flying Saber severs off StraighGao and Ougu and both explode. Lamia lets out a thought of regret, not having wished that fate for the Somnium's hope, as Hinoki loses consciousness, seeing a vision of her brother Mario, and calls out, he turns around and looks like Lamia, but she cannot process this as she fades. Lamia declares to Vivele that he will destroy the root of evil, hidden in the King of Braves, the final Conqueror King. A Psycho Voice is sent out, GaoGaiGar dodges by leaving behind all the remaining armour, leaving just Final GaiGar.

Mamoru is still enraged, but Gai is at least capable of questioning Lamia's words, as Final GaiGar is wrapped in orange flame, the very image of the Conqueror King, opposed to the Conqueror Being Betterman Ortus, also wrapped in orange flame. The Conqueror War is about to come to a conclusion, as Conquror GaiGar faces Conqueror Ortus. They clash continuously, each attempting to destroy eachother, as Mamoru refuses to believe Gai is the Conqueror King. Lamia explains that as Gai is an Evoluder, the corruption of the Dawn Aura manifested differently. Lamia shows through full images that Gai couldn't possibly have escaped Triple Zero, but has resisted until now, as every one of his cells is assimilated with a tiny G-Stone, he is still in the process of being corrupted even now. Mamoru asks the question, why the did they awaken Gai as the Conqueror King, as it is clear all of this fight has been to cause this. Lamia explains the enemy within the root of evil is both treasure and toxin to them, so they must deal with the contradiction before departing as their last task. Mamoru questions this statement, as Lamia says until the Conqueror King is destroyed they cannot welcome the Time of Patria. Ortus is now wholly on the defensive. He can tell he is reaching his limit, recovering from using Ortus the first time should have taken centuries, he recovered early due to the coming of the Conqueror King. Mamoru now doesn't understand what the Time of Patria is. GaiGar pierces Ortus and rips apart the Pectofolex orb, defeating the King of Superbeings, which fibrises, and Lamia knows a final end is coming for him.

Gai begs to know if this is truly the end he wanted, not glad in victory, merely sorrowful, but suddenly Rice, Betterman Ahriman declares they haven't reached the conclusion, looking totally unscathed, wrapping around GaiGar, aided by another Mamoru didn't expect to see again, Galeon. Rice took a detour while returning Galeon, coming to this future moment rather than immediately returning Galeon to the past. GaiGar throws him off and declares himself the Conqueror King, ruler of cosmic law, shocking himself. Ahriman, unable to risk any further damage, takes Galeon with one of the few remaining Tempus Seeds.

From the remains of Ortus comes Betterman Aqua, as part of Lamia’s last gambit, declaring to the Conqueror King he will end things, but the Conqueror King declares he will be the one doing so. Aqua seeps into GaiGar with a torrent of water, removes himself from Aqua and swings down at Gai with a solid right arm, Gai cannot move, but summons up G-Power to defend, but his body isn't shining green, but in orange flames. Gai knows now what Lamia has been saying to him from the very beginning, he has been unknowingly A Conqueror King this whole time, and knows what he must do, but the power of the Conqueror will not let him. Mamoru, fused into Galeon, can only watch, and Lamia is clearly the one who will lose to Gai’s power, until he pokes to hesitate, hearing the voice of his most precious person, lost in the battle, begging him not to lose. Mikoto's voice calms Gai’s heart for a moment, he swears to fight with courage to the end. Lamia's claw sinks into Gai’s chest, a feeble blow from an exhausted Somnium, but Gai offers no resistance. Mamoru sense through their shared Mechanoid body the Animus Flower appear from Gai’s head, blocking out his serene smile. Lamia trembling tries to takes the seed, but is too weak, even as he says he must take the Patria seed, with a regret that Mamoru senses, and knows what he must do. He Fusion Outs, and descends as a green angel, to man with a green flower out of his head, and the deathly white Somnium, and, tears on his cheeks, takes the seed born of the gem of life, and carefully plucks it. He knows those with courage will win in the end.

A woman stepping out of the medbay to return to duty astonishes everyone who sees her, returning to duty only a week after regaining consciousness, but Tamara Gogol has returned to work. She arrives at the Biomedical Engineering Lab, Hinoki greets her, surprised but Tamara is happy, after being cured of Algernon thanks to Hinoki. Hinoki is, despite the damage to StraightGao, unharmed. Renais, Mikoto, Keita and Ikumi are safe as well. Clearly this is the work of the Somniums, who knew they must awaken Shishioh Gai as Conquror King, but did not wish harm to others in the process, not one of Gai’s friends was harmed, even those who vanished in the ST Bypass.

A week ago, in part of Alpes Base, Mamoru stands beside Gai, holding the Patria Seed, and Lamia takes the fruit. Rakan, Yewya, Gajumaru, Sara, Hirragi and the first Rice surround him, having survived The destruction of their Betterman transformations, and then escaped to this space by Socius Road. Another window opens, depositing Ikumi, Renais, Mikoto, Keita and Hinoki, already aware of the situation. Hinoki tells Lamia she did believe in him, Keita jokes he thought he was doomed, but Renais demands to know where the agents made into Animus seedbeds are, but Ikumi knows it was an illusion, the agents are just unconscious. Mikoto clings to her love’s body. Lamia thanks the child of light, Mamoru saying he now understands their goal, his expanded consciousness as past of Final GaiGar enabling him to fully receive the information from Lamia and make the choice he needed to. He knows if Gai had been told of the plan, it wouldn't have worked out, because he needed to awaken as the Conqueror King. They witness in space and ES Window open, and J-Ark emerge, Ikumi relieved to see him, as is Renais, as Wadatsumi and the Brave Robos emerge behind. Mamoru is brought to tears to see them back, Goldy too is safe, just a face on the moon with the Core Blocks, but they can be restored, everyone is alive, and the Brave’s chest starts to move. The battle finally over, everyone returned to Orbit Base. Tamara’s return has come just as Hinoki is resolving the last thing, talking to Gai and Mikoto. Gai has no further traces of Triple Zero, and is in excellent health. This lines with what Mamoru had learned, that the Somniums sought a special seed, Patria. Mikoto questions how Gai is alive after producing an Animus Seed. Hinoki explains the G-Stone, the gem of life, is literally a crystallisation of the lives of the people of the Trinary Solar System, the G-Stones in Gai’s body were corrupted before he was, and resisted for so long, but if he had been ignored then there would have been no knowing when he would become a Conqueror King, thus the Somniums had had to awaken him so he wouldn't be a threat to their beloved humanity. The G-Stones manifesting as an Animus Flower had purged the Conqueror King power out of Gai’s body. Mikoto asks if they can safely breed now, Hinoki confirms Gai is now closer to a Semi-Evoluder like Mikoto, their children are not guaranteed to be Evoluders. Mikoto is noted by the news and hugs Gai tight, he realises he truly did hear Mikoto's voice to make him stop, only because she was a Semi-Evoluder was that possible. Gai thinks this time his rewards has come not from God, but Betterman. Hinokie realises The Somniums are separating from them not just because of her cure for Algernon. 10 years ago Algernon had broken out en masse, and without the Somniums acting as antibodies, humanity would have perished, but this time a handful were infected, a sign humanity no longer needed to rely on the Somniums, and that is why. She tears up a little, knowing this is why “her brother” is leaving.

In the Andes in the Altiplano, is the world's largest Sepulchrum. Rice and Rakan have gathered almost all the world's Somniums here, for the first time in 2000 years, there are approximately 1000 of them there. Lamia, unable to see or stand due to the physical tax of the battle, speaks to Yewya, seeing through her eyes, as they prepare to bring the Time of Patria. Yewya knows Lamia's time is limited, and intends to care for him until then. Once no more Somniums come, the 7 who have fought together prepare to start things at last. Sara holds out the shining emerald seed of Patria, and consumes, a light appears in her abdomen, then spreads into the ground, opening a portal on the ground, a Patria Gate. It is time for them to travel through, to an untamed dimension. Rice leaps in, Hiiragi uses his strength to carry the weaker in, Rakan goes after a few hundred have, and tells the ancient Lamia he shall not forget him, Lamia wondering if one day Rakan will pick up the mantle of Ortus, Rakan promises to do so if needed. Lamia tells Yewya to go too, he intends to see them off with Pachira, Bodaiju and Seeme. She keeps herself from arguing, seeing a change in him, and wishes him well with her sister and steps through, a new duty is hers. When most are through, Gajumaru offers Sara his hand, as they prepare to cross to another dimension where humans will need them, as they came to this one long ago, but Sara tells Gajumaru to go, she has to keep the gate open, if she moves the gate will close, she cannot cross through. Gajumaru turns to go, but then runs back, and holds the girl he loves, promising to stay with her. They are watched by the fibrous shape of a man, who asks them to watch over a beautiful future.

Hinoki suddenly stops, Keita asks what the matter is, but she decides it is just her imagination.

Sakura gazes down at earth, tears on her cheeks, and wishes a farewell to the dream people.
