Synopsis
While enjoying their meal, Otaru is interrupted by Baiko who requests his presence at the castle. All the leaders of the states have gathered and want Otaru to assassinate Faust. But, Otaru disagrees with this notion of war. Suddenly, Faust's newest marionette, Leopard, crashes the party. Meanwhile, the sudden reaction from Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry's maiden chips have awoken the Mesopotamia (the seeding ship that brought them to Terra II).
