ITEMS TO GET: STR Drive, [Aerods]

   Go to the medical room and talk to Elly. She will insist on going with Bart to stop the latest Solaris attack. You have to a chance to equip your characters; give Brigandier a Frame HP50, Ground, and D Circuit.

   First, you take on Dominia in her Bladegash gear. Weltall and Brigandier should just attack, while Elly uses Thermo Dragon in Vierge. (Note that whenever you use an elemental attack on Bladegash, it will absorb that element, and start attacking you with it. This doesn't seem to have any strategical significance, but I thought I should mention it for completeness's sake). Her regular attack only does about 450-500 HP damage, though her occasional special attack does about 2200. After you beat her, you'll get a STR Drive, then dive underwater and fight the Haisho again.

   Ramsus is piloting the Haisho this time, and (as usual) he's accompanied by Miang (in her cleverly-named Miang's Gear), who does nothing but heal him. The Haisho uses a claw attack that hits three times (usually targetting different people) for 400-800 HP, but otherwise it's basically the same fight as last time. When you "win", Ramsus will clobber Fei, and the Vierge will receive Aerods, by far the best Option in the game.
