Episode Title:
In Akatsuki.
Episode Description:
Lag is surprised to see that Gauche has saved them from the gaichuu who has come to demand the whereabouts of the government experiments from Garrard and Valentine. As Gauche attempts to attack them Lag and Niche block his path to protect them. When he is about to shoot Gauche to bring back his memories, the ground shakes and Lag and Gauche fall into a cave. While in the cave Noir reassures Lag that he isn't Gauche Suede anymore as Lag still believes he's Gauche when he tries to shoot him. Noir then delivers his heart to Lag showing the memories that he's retained and Lag realizes that they're all Noir's. Suddenly, Lag catches a shindan that shows what happened to Gauche in Akatsuki. It is revealed he met Lag's mother near the artificial sun telling her that he delivered Lag and went on a long adventure with him and they became friends. Gauche tells her that he'd deliver her heart to Lag but collapses, and Lags mother tells him she had stolen his heart as the artificial sun shows its eye taking their hearts. Afterwards, Noir tells Lag that the Gauche he once knew no longer exists. Lag comes to the realization that his top priority is to stop the Carbernet. They are then rescued by Niche, Zazie, and Connor. They regroup and plan where to attack the Carbernet when it suddenly resurfaces and they notice it has gotten bigger. Lag, Zazie, and Noir all charge toward the gaichuu firing their shindanjuus.
