Haruko and Naota find an ally in Canti, a friendly robot that spawns from Naota's horn. Haruko then uses Naota's naivety and his horn's portal powers to draw Atomsk out. Unfortunately, her plan goes awry when Atomsk takes Naota as a host, making it so she is unable to absorb him herself.

At one point, the portal releasing the robots attaches itself to his classmate Eri, where the resulting robot then turns into a manifestation of female sexuality.
