Deep inside the cave, Bloodwing is researching the Beast Virus alone. He does not stop his research even on Earth, far from Planet Machina, to achieve more perfect control over the virus.

This isn't it... Not this. There must be a more perfect formula...

However, unlike on Planet Machina, there are no samples or resources for the Beast Virus here, so his experiments remain at a standstill.

...! Mega Ambler...!? Could it be you—

Suddenly, he turns around, his eyes widening at the illusion of Mega Ambler disappearing into the cave entrance.

Mega Ambler stands at the cave entrance. However, Bloodwing quickly regains his composure, knowing it is just his own hallucination.

...Goodness, I must be exhausted lately. Seeing things now...

Bloodwing quickly turns his head away from the entrance. However, he fails to notice Guest, who is actually standing at the mouth of the cave.
