The Skull Fairy

Shiki's group takes Pino with them as they attempt to leave Norma, but the Aqua Wing is blocked by an energy field surrounding the planet. Weisz, who has stowed aboard the ship to evade the police, uses his "Machina Maker" Ether Gear to modify the ship to bypass the field into outer space. The group is contacted by the present-day Weisz, who explains that they did not travel to the past, but that Norma's time was consumed by a space monster called the Chronophage, reverting the planet to an earlier state and creating the young Weisz as a duplicate of his past self. The Aqua Wing is suddenly captured by Elsie and brought aboard her ship, the Skull Fairy, where she threatens to sell the group into slavery. Determining the Skull Fairy to suit his group's needs, Shiki challenges Elsie to a duel over ownership of the vessel, which is infested with shapeshifting alien parasites. Upon reaching the ship's bridge, Shiki is startled to find a skull-faced Elsie.
