Ken's precautionary explanation about the extremely dangerous Black Phantom esper crime organization obfuscates the preparations through which Kyousuke is leading P.A.N.D.R.A. in order to fiercely counterattack while B.A.B.E.L. mobilizes to provide security for a foreign political leader attending a meeting in Japan that is most likely a formal party considering that Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi are perplexed and disgruntled about their participation being precluded despite the probability of Black Phantom mortal designs on the political leader being at most 3%. Kyousuke's injunction to Minamoto of distance between his esper charges and P.A.N.D.R.A.'s vendetta with Black Phantom yields to Oboro and Taizou charging Minamoto the salvage of the aerial escort wreckage while P.A.N.D.R.A. successfully foils the Black Phantom assassination attempt. Detecting at acuity that the esper sniper is in mortal danger, Kaoru leads her teammates in a mad dash to the rescue -- and right into Magi along with Momotarou's explanation of Kyousuke's volition regarding Black Phantom. If the victim cannot be emancipated from the Black Phantom subjugation, extermination is the only recourse . . . hence this being an ethically dirty mission. Meanwhile, Kyousuke successfully holds the esper sniper Barret at a stalemate and has decided extermination when Kaoru arrives to appraise her fortunes which improve with Shiho and Aoi's arrival on the scene with last-minute insight from Minamoto about how to pervert Barret's attacks to their advantage before combining energies with Kaoru to finish off Barret using the healing spell Psychic Force of Absolution which successfully emancipates Barret from Black Phantom without killing him -- the spectacle thereof Kyousuke declaring as his rationale behind Kaoru being declared as Queen and the savior of all espers.
