Synopsis
With the help of Judgment operatives, Kuroko and Misaki work together to apprehend vital targets that were affected by the malicious Indian Poker cards, with Sogiita Gunha as their unlikely scout. During their current mission, Misaki reveals that Indian Poker cards are involved, and someone else aside from Houjou Arei is setting up a "composite power" around Yuuri Senya.

As Ayu tries to figure out a way to expose Misaki's allies, her accomplice contacts Houjou Arei, showing no interest in dealing with those who want to foil their plan. Although he agreed to help Ayu in attaining the success of the failed Ideal experiment in exchange for helping create the ideal power to cure his illness, he also knew that the experiment had claimed the lives of many.

After a moment of reconciliation between the two, Junko and Iruka rush towards the convergence point of the unusual phenomenon, the former facility of Ideal. Meanwhile, Arei lunges forward to ambush Kuroko and Misaki.
