After spending a night in an abandoned castle, Kon and the group are ambushed by Erecpyle and his Incognito unit. To make matters worse, Erec has equipped his lieutenants with special "DDOS" weapons that enhance their strength. After the two sides clash, the battle ends with Kon's party falling over a cliff, and each side gaining one hostage from the other party. While Mariandale stalls for time in Erec's camp, Kon manipulates Leon into giving up some secrets about his unit. He then initiates a hostage exchange, handing over Leon in exchange for Marian, but sets up an ambush for Erec's unit at the aforementioned castle. After luring the Incognito unit into several booby traps, Kon attempts to bluff Erec out of attacking him, but Erec calls his bluff and fires a large energy beam from his sword. In the end, Kon's headphones and Ecarlate's flower are all that remain of their respective owners. (Source: Wikipedia)
