This memory starts blurrily. Wako has just been sleeping, or unconscious, and is tied to a folding chair. As she comes to, she focuses on five people, all in masks and costumes. There’s a short girl with pink pigtails wearing the same outfit as Alois, plus two tall teenage boys, an old man, and an adult woman.
Old Man: This is the South Maiden? Woman: What does that mean? Pinkie, to Wako: Bring out your Cybody. Old Man: The South seal was supposed to be broken to leave phase four. I wasn’t told we were going this quickly. Teenager 1: Well, we did it, so what’s the problem? Old Man: What?
Wako cranes her neck around and catches sight of a red-haired boy, hands tied and out cold on the floor.
Wako: Takuto! Teenager 1: I’m announcing my candidacy as the first second-phase Star Driver. Old Man: But does he know? Wako: Takuto! Takuto! Hang on, Takuto!
Pinkie and Teenager 2 cut Wako loose and grab her arm.
Pinkie: You’re coming with us. Teenager 1, walking up to a bunch of weird equipment: Open the Cybercasket!
Machinery whirls around. From Wako’s perspective, you get the first good view of the room. It’s filled with enormous, gray, stretched-out, slender humanoid statues. At the center is a metal column surrounded by pumps and gears. A small box shaped almost like a coffin screeches down the side of the column, and Teenager 1 gets in.
Wako: You’ve already broken the first seal? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?
The red-head – Takuto – is up on his feet now, and charges at Pinkie and Teenager 2. But then, everything goes gray. For a moment, Wako is the only colorful thing around and the only thing moving; she lifts her hand to a glowing pink Y at her collarbone. A second later, the masks on the girl and boy to her side glimmer, and they’re colorful and moving, too.
Pinkie: Isn’t that a shame? You have to be one of the chosen to get past this point.
A giant robot with horns drops in. The pilot’s voice – hey, it’s that guy who got in the coffin! – booms.
Teenager 1: Oh, there’s the south Cybody… Maiden, please!
The duo with masks push Wako out of their floating bubble. She’s in her own floating bubble, and the giant robot grabs her.
Teenager 1: The seal in this Zero Time protected by the South Maiden… I’m gonna smash it! Here I go!
Oh – but then that Takuto kid shows up on the floor.
Takuto: I said, let her go!
I ain’t even describing the next part. This happens, and suddenly that redhead is in a giant white robot that looks like a musketeer and it beats up the other robot, which explodes, and grabs Wako’s bubble. That’s where the memory ends.

A pink bubble surrounds the two people in masks and Wako. There’s a lot of light, and then they’re in a dome-shaped, kaleidoscope world, where clouds hang low at the horizon and the sky is a load of stars and color. Above are some gold, complicated clockwork things. There are four circles. Three are blue and spinning. One is red and still.

And then you make it to the giant robots. ]
