The episode begins with Rei Mii, Ruuji and Ron camping out after escaping from Zairin in the previous episode. Ruuji blames himself for the loss of Ron's Zoid, but Ron is actually quite upbeat about it, and apart from noting that the loss of the Zoid is a sad one, is not depressed at all. Even though Mii agrees with him and tries to get Ruuji to cheer up, even she thinks it suspicious that Ron is so normal, given the losses he had just incurred. Ron quickly changes the subject and decides to visit Tekitou, the city where Ra Kan and Kotona should be in, an idea which Mii likes.
