Fate.Falis, Alita and their companions manage to evade capture thanks to a group of travelling entertainers. When they stop to take a break, they begin to discuss the circumstances behind everything that has transpired so far. It turns out that the root cause to all the trouble is the Lost Technology, which was entrusted to the House Forland after the demise of the Old World and is protected by a seal that can only be opened by female members of the House. It is also revealed that Dominikov, Pete, the androids, and all the other synthetic beasts were created from that technology. They are attacked by Kaito, Cecilia, and the Forland army soon after. The androids try to hold off the army for a little bit but run out of ammo and battery power. Pete and Dominikov release their true cyborg forms and hold off the enemy. Nearly reaching the border, Kaito attacks the wagon and nearly everyone passes out, except Alita. She runs off into the woods with a cloak and holding Falis's sword to distract Kaito. In the forest, Kaito is about to kill Alita but pauses when he recognizes the strong gaze that she gives him. Falis regains conscious and injures Kaito, unable to kill him due to her condition. Kaito flees and the army retreats. Falis realizes that she and Alita cannot run from their fates anymore and must fight to win back the country from Kaito and Cecilia.
