Long Summary
The three disciples decide to trust Sweet Mask and retreat, leaving him alone to face Do-S and the brainwashed Narinki's Private Squad. Do-S reveals that she is a fan of Sweet Mask and offers to "unbrainwash" the slaves if she can spend time with him. Sweet Mask replies that bargaining will not work on him. Do-S then orders her slaves to attack the hero, declaring that she will make him "her own".
Meanwhile, the disciples run to another area and speculate about what Sweet Mask might do. Iaian believes Sweet Mask plans to kill the brainwashed mercenaries. At first, Iaian is confused and doubts that Sweet Mask is like Okamaitachi, but they soon realize that Sweet Mask's behavior fits that of a murderer rather than a hero, recalling what he did to the surviving Dark Matter Thieves.
As Sweet Mask moves to slice off the squad's heads with his hand, the disciples return and knock the brainwashed mercenaries out with surprise attacks before Sweet Mask can kill them. This allows Sweet Mask to grab the whip of Do-S and slam her head into the wall, leaving her disoriented. Sweet Mask is displeased that the swordsmen returned and interfered with his execution of justice. The swordsmen, having guessed Sweet Mask's real plan, pretend they believed he sent them away to lower the enemy's guard. Aware of Sweet Mask's suspicion, Iaian tells his fellow swordsmen to play along and to apologize for the misunderstanding, while privately vowing to investigate Sweet Mask after the raid.
In Sweet Mask's mind, he contemplates killing the swordsmen as well, since he considers them tainted for aiding evil accomplices. Before he can act, the freed Narinki Squad awakens and thanks the heroes for rescuing them. While Sweet Mask watches in silence, Do-S wraps her leg around the hero's throat and pierces his eye with her tongue while his guard is down. She is stunned when she sees that the hero's right eye is not bleeding and that his right eye and face are only cracked, realizing he is not human. Before Do-S can reveal who Sweet Mask truly is, he instantly crushes her head, killing her.
The freed mercenaries rush to Sweet Mask and ask if he is all right. He says he is fine (his damaged eye's already healed). The mercenaries immediately recognize Sweet Mask and ask for autographs and pictures. Annoyed by the fanboying and fangirling by the mercenaries, Sweet Mask tells the three swordsmen to escort them back to the surface while he remains on the battlefield.
Summary
The three disciples decide to trust in Sweet Mask and retreat, leaving him alone to face Do-S and the brainwashed Narinki's Private Squad. Do-S tells Sweet Mask that she is actually a fan of him, and offers to 'unbrainwash' the slaves in exchange for spending time with him. Sweet Mask tells her that bargaining won't work against him. Do-S responds by ordering her slaves to attack the hero, confidently stating that she would make him "her own".
Meanwhile, the disciples dash off to another area, discussing what Sweet Mask's solution could be. While Iaian theorizes that he possesses a hidden ace he does not want others to see, Okamaitachi suggests that Sweet Mask is planning to undo Do-S' brainwashing with the power of music, a notion her teammates chide her for.
Sweet Mask effortlessly tears through the entire Narinki Squad, subsequently killing all of them. He continues to charge towards Do-S, who is shocked at how Sweet Mask dealt with the mercenaries. She attempts to brainwash him by striking him with her whip but fails to do so as Sweet Mask is somehow immune to such attacks. Realizing this, Do-S quickly surrenders and submits to Sweet Mask, promising that she will obey his every command. Unmoved by Do-S' plea for mercy, Sweet Mask takes her life.
The scene cuts to the disciples staring in shock at Pig God, who was in the midst of digesting The Great Food Tub. Commenting on the implausibility of the scene, the three disciples agree to find another way into the base.
