The Counter Attack.The group discovers the next clue "churns beneath a sea of salt" and realize that Cye's probably in the Sea of Toyama. Finding a whirlpool, the group splits up to find the Warriors: Mia and Sage head north to find Kento (with Talpa sending Cale to do the same) while Ryo, White Blaze and Ully stay to save Cye. Ryo battles a bunch of Dynasty soldiers and summons his armor to defeat them, while White Blaze takes out two enemy archers. However, as Ryo heads underwater to find Cye, something goes wrong with his armor and Sekhmet attacks. It turns out Ryo's armor is being affected by Sekhmet's poison amplified by the water and he is defeated. Sekhmet heads to finish Cye off before he can awaken, but is attacked by fish and a whale. He kills all of them, but it allows Ryo's swords to wake Cye. Cye blasts Sekhmet and rescues Ryo before returning to the water to continue the battle. As in the water Cye is immune to his poison, Sekhmet brings them to a bridge nearby and beats up Cye. Ully and White Blaze revive Ryo by dragging him into a fire and he steps in to help Cye. Combining Cye's Super Wave Smasher and Ryo's Flare Up Now, they defeat Sekhmet which Talpa is not pleased with. Seeing the power of their teamwork, the two vow to find their friends and unite to defeat the Dynasty.
