With the city under attack and in partial ruin its inhabitants are directed towards the underground shelters, Tomoru is more interested in getting a closer look at the alien invader though as opposed to playing it safe. In his rush to do so, however, he is almost run down by Michi who, aided by I-ZACK, is attempting to track the alien. With the inner city closed off due to the destruction, both Tomoru and Michi climb to the top of a near by skyscraper to get a better view of the surrounding devastation, a bad idea, however, as they are greeted on top of the building by the alien. Youko catches up with and engages the alien, though to no avail as her Birdman is effortlessly crushed by the alien's claws forcing her to eject.
