Plot
Yui closes her eyes and the Mirror Monsters appear to snap out of their trance and begin attacking Shinji again. As he occupied with the monsters, Yui walks off.

Shinji runs back to the Cafe to find Yui but is unsuccessful. Shinji tells Ren that Yui was able to control the monsters and on the assumption that she hasn't returned yet from Mirror World, they go to find her. Meanwhile, Tojo is walking down a road before he runs into Mitsuru. Mitsuru attempts to complement him but Tojo severs ties with him. Tojo tells him that he plans to win the battle with his own power.

Shinji is still attempting to find Yui.

Mitsuru gets his usual tips of complements at the Carpark. He says he's tired of working here and instead goes to eat at the cafe which was part of Shinji's Ally Contract with him. His actions are not met too well and is attacked by Shinji in the Cafe. He quickly escapes.

Mitsuru decides to try Kitaoka. Kitaoka refuses as he doesn't like working with other riders.

Asakura finally finds Tojo and challenges him to a fight. They both transform and enter Mirror World. Tojo summons Destwilder but Asakura summons Metalgelas as a counter. Asakura tries to use Venosnaker with a Final Vent but Tojo stops Venosnaker with a Freeze Vent. Asakura quickly discards that plan and uses Evildiver for a Final Vent. Tojo jumps, and hence doesn't get hit by Evildiver but still gets pushes over by Asakura. Asakura continues to attack him but Tojo finally escapes from Mirror World. Tojo jumps over a bridge to hide from Asakura, who loses his temper at not being able to find him. Mitsuru, who had been watching them offers his services to Asakura. Strangely enough, Mitsuru doesn't appear to recognise Asakura. Asakura opens essentially a letter of Recommendation from Kitaoka of Mitsuru that says "Annoying". Asakura gets angry at Asakura but Mitsuru runs off before he can do anything.

Back at Seimeein University, Kitaoka finds Tojo. Tojo thinks that Kitaoka just wants to fight because he attacked Reiko but Kitaoka tells him that it is his own problem. They both enter Mirror World.

Shinji & Ren are still trying to find Yui before being attacked by Alternative's Contract Monster who has gone out of control because his user has been destroyed. Shinji hits the Monster with a Shoot Vent and Ren destroys him with a Final Vent.

Kitaoka & Tojo continue to fight. After being knocked down for Kitaoka, Tojo begs for his life. Just as Kitaoka is about to kill him, Asakura knocks Kitaoka out of the way, wanting to finish Tojo off himself. Kitaoka gets back up and prepares for a Final Vent while the other two are obliviously fighting. Kitaoka shoots, launching Magnugiga's arsenal of Missiles. Asakura and Tojo manage to get out of the way of the missiles but aren't far enough away to not get shot out of Mirror World by the following Explosion.

For some reason, Tojo runs off laughing. Asakura tries to get Kitaoka to fight him again but Kitaoka refuses to because Asakura appears too hurt to continue.

Further down the path, Tojo collapses in pain and gets found by Mitsuru before he faints.

The next morning, Tojo wakes up on a mattress in an apartment which is revealed to be Mitsuru's. Mitsuru promises to make him better. Mitsuru then gets a phone call from someone who tells him that his father has died.

Shinji & Ren are still attempting to find Yui. However, Shiro finds her first. Shiro tells her that she should be in Mirror World and uses his eyes to freeze a growing number of Mirror Monsters targeting them.
