Uchiha Naruto learned that the United States had moved its superhuman experiments to Area 51 and that Tosu Hideo wanted to join Taka in exchange for help for his family and Moribe Mamiya.

• An intelligence officer reported that Jeanne was in Derna City after flooding killed thousands, and the general ordered the operation to begin the next day under the codename “Maid of Orléans.”

After a catastrophic flood devastated Derna City, Le Monde reporter Leo and cameraman Mr. Pierre arrived hoping to interview Jeanne, who was treating the wounded.

Jeanne fought Angelica and three artificial Shikotsumyaku test subjects as U.S. forces tried to capture her, and she discovered the children had been drugged and sent into battle.

A mysterious sandstorm swept Shion, Jeanne, Colonel Bastian, reporters, villagers, and special forces troops to an ancient Egyptian tomb, where they confronted one another before an ancient mummy resurrected. The mummy restored its body and faced the gathered people.

• A Le Monde reporter and his Black photographer abandoned their attempt to reach a flood-uncovered pyramid after learning locals were looting it, while Shion said she still had something to do.

• At the U.S. base, Grace and the command staff watched intermittent footage as a sandstorm trapped Jeanne, Angelica, and the soldiers with a resurrected bald priest.
