After his defeat of the Behemoth, Ernesti goes to the capital to be rewarded. But the king is cautious about this new child who can take down a monster that easily defeats armies, and sets for him a difficult task before his reward can be given.

Ernie's new mech, the Tzendolg, as well as his Telestales, are paired off against the Kaldatoah Darsch, the Lab's new mech. Several Darsch are paired against a single mech, putting the Silver Phoenix at a serious disadvantage before the fight even begins.
