After analyzing the attacks, Yuu determines that its third eye cannot fire the catastrophe beam in quick succession and its discharge time is five seconds.

The students drop with the Mistileteinn and protect it from the first catastrophe beam discharge by Basilisk's third eye, but with the discharge having come much sooner than anticipated that the third eye had time to fire the catastrophe beam a second time, which destroys Mistileteinn. However, the blast creates an opening for the students to disable the third eye and immobilize Basilisk, allowing Yuu to destroy Basilisk using Babel. The students return to Midgar as Mitsuki's outlook on life has changed to a more optimistic one and Yuu tells Iris about his memory loss as a condition for using Babel, and Iris vows to stay with him.
