The Oyabun attempts to have the captured Justice Machine join him without success. After he leaves, Challenger escapes and aids the others. Meanwhile, Demon --who owes the Oyabun a debt of honor-- has been found wanting and offers the Oyabun a token of his atonement: the first finger of his left hand. Maxinor appears and is cut down by his son Robert, now talking through a mechanical device but obeying only the Oyabun's orders. As Blazer and Robert fight, she goes into labor.
