   Summary

   Sonar and Malevola never make it to their first day of hero work. Instead, they get captured by the Red Ring, augmented against their will, and forced to fight in cage-matches to the death. They're barely hanging on by the time Robert, reunited with the Astral Pulse early, joins the Z-Team as Mecha Man.

   Can he save them before Sonar becomes the monster everyone but Malevola thinks he is?

   A bleaker take on the Fighting Tournament in Episode 3 wherein Robert has the option to send in Punch Up and Coupé. This time, he'll go himself.
