Just a second afterward, he receives a call from Yua that Jin has fled from his current office room which giving Gai an idea that Jin will have taken the Hiden Zero One Driver alongside Is and it is true. Gai tells Yua to access the There satellite and deletes all the Humagear data immediately as his plan.
Jin brings Is and the Zero One Driver to Aruto in a scrapped site. Aruto thanks him for saving Is but Jin refuses to accept the thanks as Jin thought that he only saves the body but not the mind, especially that Is won't be able to be bot, but Aruto surprises Jin by showing him Is's Progrise Key and turns her on. The awakened Is is confused with the situation that she shall be with Hiden, not with Aruto and takes the Zero One Driver. Jin in displease halts Is and told her off that she has to stop on following either There or Ark with Is replies that it is impossible with Jin claims that it is possible if she reaches the singularity like Jin himself which Aruto agrees on Jin's opinion. Unfortunately, Gai arrives by helicopter alongside Ono and Eida immediately telling them to destroy Is with Aruto's body got shot as the result for covering Is from the bullets.

Gai 1000% sure that it should be impossible for Aruto to be able to transform with Is states that There has admitted Aruto to be the right heir of Zero One's properties alongside There and the Humagear. But to make Aruto able to transform again, a new company must be built and There has done the listing site, giving the transformation permission to Aruto. Gai disapproves the statement as it is the same as stealing the Hiden's resources but Is states that it is Korenosuke's will and it is never for the company to have it after his death in the beginning.
Gai in anger swore that he won't let Aruto get his way and scores Is to have reached the singularity, leaving them alongside his troops. Jin from afar is impressed with Aruto and Horobi comes to him and asks if things are right on his plan. Jin states that he doesn't plan anything and praises Aruto for his doing, but he doesn't mean to befriend him and will take all the data after Horobi has asked if Jin has befriended with Aruto.
