[[Eviluder]] declares the launch of his "[[No. 42: Galaxy Tomahawk (manga)|No. 42: Starship Galaxy Tomahawk]]", which appears in the sky, covering the buildings. [[Astral (manga)|Astral]] is shocked at its 3000 [[DEF]], but [[Yuma Tsukumo (manga)|Yuma]] tells him not to worry, since [[Duel]]s aren't about [[Monster Card|monster]] size, and its in [[Defense Position]]. Eviluder smirks, and tells Yuma he still doesn't know the terror of his fleet, as he [[activate]]s the [[Card effect|effect]] of "Starship Galaxy Tomahawk", [[detach]]ing an [[Xyz Material]] to [[Special Summon]] 4 "[[Battle Eagle Token (manga)|Battle Eagle Tokens]]" to his [[field]]. [[Tokunosuke Hyori (manga)|Tokunosuke]] is shocked at his Summoning 4 monsters at once, but [[Takashi Todoroki (manga)|Takashi]] and [[Kotori Mizuki (manga)|Kotori]] say they've got less [[ATK]] than Yuma's "[[No. 39: Utopia (manga)|No. 39: Utopia]]", so they can't [[attack]]. Eviluder smirks again, and declares the "operation" is just beginning, as he activates "[[Covering Fire (manga)|Covering Fire]], increasing the ATK of all his tokens to 2500. [[Cathy (manga)|Cathy]] notes they've now got the same attack as "Utopia", while [[Luna (ZEXAL)|Luna]] comments Eviluder is a powerful "[[Number]]s" user, seeing his four 2500 ATK monsters. Eviluder orders all units of the "Battle Eagle Squadron" to open fire. [[File:Battle Eagle Token targets Hope.png|thumb|left|"[[Battle Eagle Token (manga)|Battle Eagle Token]] I" locks "[[No. 39: Utopia (manga)|No. 39: Utopia]]" as the [[Attack target]].]]"Battle Eagle I" locks its [[target]] as "Utopia", and fires a wave of missiles towards him, but Yuma protects "Utopia" with his effect, [[Attack name|Moon Barrier]]. Eviluder orders "Battle Eagle II" to open fire, while Yuma protects "Utopia" with its effect again. Eviluder then orders "Battle Eagle III" to attack, destroying both itself and "Utopia", as the latter ran out of Xyz Materials. Astral is worried about Eviluder's overwhelming the defenses of "Utopia", as "Battle Eagle IV" launches a missile towards Yuma, which explodes and sends him to the ground. Eviluder then orders all "Battle Eagle Units" to return to the base, as the tokens go back to "Starship Galaxy Tomahawk", and [[Set]]s 2 cards.

[[File:The Gagaga duo's effects.png|thumb|right|[[Yuma Tsukumo (manga)|Yuma]] gathers the "[[Gagaga]]" duo and matches their [[Level]]s.]]Astral asks Yuma if he's alright, as his [[LP|Life Points]] marker goes down to 1500. Yuma affirms, saying that Eviluder just took a huge chunk of his Life. He also wonders if that's what he did to [[Tetsuo Takeda (manga)|Tetsuo]] - a concentrated attack, as he looks to the wound the missile caused on him. Astral comments "Starship Galaxy Tomahawk" is a powerful [[Xyz Monster]], and that's it is a nuisance. He also says that since no monsters are left in [[Attack Position]], they'd have to take down that mother ship. Yuma replies by saying that it's got a DEF of 3000, and that even if they brought "Utopia" back, he's only got an ATK of 2500. However, Astral says there's still a way, and Yuma notes the "[[Gagaga Girl (manga)|Gagaga Girl]]" in his [[hand]]. Yuma says he got it - he's going to use the effect of "Gagaga Girl", but Astral says that although by [[Xyz Summon]]ing with "Gagaga Girl" they can reduce the ATK of an enemy to 0, there's no point on doing that of "Starship Galaxy Tomahawk", as it is in Defense Position. Yuma agrees, but Astral says he's right on using the effect of "Gagaga Girl", and tells Yuma to think hard - their [[Deck]] holds one monster whose ATK surpasses the DEF of "Starship Galaxy Tomahawk". Yuma notes who it is, and declares that settles it, as he [[Draw a card|draws]].

[[File:Tomahawk Cannon targets Ken-chan.png|thumb|left|"[[Tomahawk Cannon]]" charges before smashing "[[No. 22: Zombiestein (manga)|No. 22: Zombiestein]]".]]Yuma Summons "Gagaga Girl" in Attack Position, who's scared seeing the size of "Starship Galaxy Tomahawk". Eviluder declares an ATK of 1000 is a suicide attack, and that he would bombard Yuma to smithereens. However, Yuma misunderstands what he said, and says there's nothing wrong with his "bum". Yuma activates "[[Gagaga Academy Emergency Network (manga)|Gagaga Academy Emergency Network]]", Special Summoning "[[Gagaga Magician (manga)|Gagaga Magician]]". Tokunosuke says there it is - a "[[Gagaga]]" upperclassman. Yuma uses the effects of his "Gagaga" monsters to make both [[Level]] 8, and Overlays them to Xyz Summon "[[No. 22: Zombiestein (manga)|No. 22: Zombiestein]]" in Attack Position. Yuma says he's going to avenge Tetsuo, as Eviluder is shocked at the 4500 ATK of "Zombiestein". Tokunosuke celebrates that by that way, Yuma is going to take down that starship. Cathy recalls that "Zombiestein" can't attack girls, and wonders if that won't matter, but Kotori says starships aren't male or female, and tells Yuma to go get it. Yuma orders "Zombiestein" to bring down "Galaxy Tomahawk", as "Zombiestein" jumps towards it. However, Eviluder says "Galaxy Tomahawk" wouldn't fall to an attack like that, as he activates "[[Spaceship Barrier]]", which would [[negate]] the attack, but Yuma activates the effect of "Zombiestein", negating the [[Trap Card]], as he declares the attack - Zombiestein Fist. An explosion occurs, and Cathy and Kotori celebrate holding hands, but quickly separate, noting what they were doing. Eviluder smirks and tells Yuma to take a good look to see who is winning. He declares that he activated "[[Tomahawk Cannon]]" before Yuma attacked, saying that the effect of "Zombiestein" only works once per turn. A cannon appears in "Galaxy Tomahawk", as it declares "energy charge at 120%". The cannon then fires, destroying "Zombiestein".
