While Kazuki is preoccupied with dealing with the first Festum, Shoko acts decisively to save the island by piloting the Fafner Mark Sechs. Even as Shoko repeatedly attacks the second Festum with a mine blade, the alien manages to pierce the Fafner. Out of ideas, Shoko launches the Festum into the atmosphere, activating a self-destruction sequence. The other children watch as Shoko disappears along with the Festum attached to her.
