Inside the Dark Fortress, Zyro's group splits up and is picked off by DNA bladers. Yoshio, now wielding a Synchrom made from Kira's discarded Berserker Behemoth, overpowers Zyro, while Ren and Eight are cornered by Spike and Captain Arrow. Sakyo and Takanosuke burst in to rescue them and take over Yoshio's fight with a Synchrom of their own, letting Zyro, Maru, and Shinobu press on toward Kira.
