Maze of Despair
Melfina is a prisoner at the center of a maze. The others, friends and foes, seek to make their way through the maze. They each start from different places but eventually their paths start to intersect. Gene, Suzuka, and Aisha each encounter Kei pirates whom they must fight. Harry is the first one to get to the center of the maze but before he can free Melfina he is joined by Hazanko. Harry tries to kill the pirate but Hazanko kills him without much effort.
Hazanko makes Melfina open the gate and then enters. Gene, Gwen, and Ronald MacDougall converge on the spot where Harry's body is laying. Gene and Ronald fight. Gene kills him with the fourth caster shell. He only has two left. Gene goes into a dream state after Ronald is killed. Jim shows up and brings him out of it. Gene sends Jim back to the Outlaw Star while he forges ahead. He runs into Gwen Khan and then Harry returns from the dead but he is barely alive. He helps Gene and Gwen get through a locked door before dying one last time.
Suzuka finally reveals why she joined up with Gene and Jim. She has a score to settle with the Kei pirates. They killed her family.
I liked the moment when Gene went into a dream state. There were all sorts of flashbacks to early in his life. It didn't all make sense but I liked it.
This was better than the last episode. I'm not always crazy about middle chapters but this one was actually pretty good. I like all the little fights that occur in this episode. They don't each get the time they deserve to make them more interesting but there's enough to satisfy me.
