All three arrive on a train to secure Klara M. Ruzhkova, the only member of the Moscow Combat Revue to have survived the Revue's dowfall. They confront two individuals, a white-caped woman and a black-winged demon, who are both after Klara. Lancelot asks Elise which of the two individuals is the bigger threat but Elise says that it doesn't matter and that neither concern them as long as they release the girl. After Lancelot suggests White Cape to release Klara, the woman did so before leaving the scene. However, the black-winged demon attacked, still insisting on retrieving Klara. After a small scuffle, Elise tells the beast to stop as a battle would not end good for itself. When Lancelot tells the demon to come with them as she might have more answers for them, the demon flew away in the dark night. Lancelot asks Elise what to do but her comrade suggests that they have done their part. An unconscious Klara is then secured by Seijuro making the rescue operation a success as Elise says the rest is up to Kamiyama and the WLOF.
