Dark-Killer's destruction cemented his permanent defeat from ever returning back. In a dimensional subspace, Zero warned them that their battle were far from over yet, as Grigio's kidnapping was done so as to prevent Gruebe from being formed. Before they could puzzle the clues together, Tregear appears and admits himself being the mastermind of said incident, gloating that he would soon target the Land of Light and Taro. The rest of the New Generation Heroes decided to chase Tregear towards the Land of Light. Zero sent Grigio back to Earth in order to protect Ayaka City in her brothers' absence, while preventing their participation from chasing Tregear altogether.
