Synopsis
Mob and Teru infiltrate the Claw's 7th Division to save Ritsu. Meanwhile, Ritsu tries to escape with the other esper kids and runs into the upper echelon and leader of the 7th Division. Teru and Dimple run into trouble after a strenuous battle, and the boss from Claw finally shows himself...

Summary
Ritsu and the rest manage to find Kaito and sneak in to free him, but they get caught. But a man decides to let them go, explaining that they don't stand a chance against psychics. But he still stays with the organization, as one day they will rule the world, and even lackeys like him will be rewarded.

Teruki, Dimple and Mob decide to split up. Dimple ends up in a strange-looking door, and some men come out of it, but they figure he is an impostor. They try fighting him, but he easily beats them. Entering the room, one of the men explains it is the awakening room where they use pain to try and awaken the powers in someone. Upper Echelon member Matsuo appears and comments that it is rare to see a ghost enter their building and wants Dimple for his collection. Teruki beats some men and asks one of them to bring Ritsu and the others, but he informs him they got out and are not in the cell. As he continues to look for them, Miyagawa appears, engulfing everything in flames, and says he will show him real pyrokinesis. Teruki defends himself using his barrier, and Miyagawa thinks he has already won as Teruki couldn't do anything. As he provokes him to burn him even more, Teruki uses his barrier around Miyagawa, making him burn himself, defeating him. Yusuke appears, and while distracted, Muraki knocks out Teruki from behind.

Ritsu takes out some weaklings, but Sho appears, and Ritsu decides to take him on, while the others escape. Meanwhile, Mob had been found by Mukai's dolls, but as he destroys them, she calls Tsuchiya, who starts fighting him. As she beats him, Mob starts crying as he doesn't want to fight a woman, due to his master telling him that only the biggest losers hit women. Tsuchiya says that he is a gentleman, but wants to fight him equally. Elsewhere, Dimple faces Matsuo, who uses spirits as pets. Dimple figures that he can't protect himself, so he calls the spirits back to him after each attack. Dimple then starts charging at him, but he falls to the ground as a diversion leaving the body and heading out. Matsuo sends his spirits after him, but as they get stuck in the door, Dimple returns and possesses the body again. Thinking he got him, Matsuo releases more evil spirits.

Tsuchiya gets defeated, and Ishiguro sends out Takeuchi, but Mob defeats him easily. As he continues, he finds Ritsu defeated, and Muto appears to be using hypnosis on him, making him see Ritsu bleeding and dead. Mob's rejection emotion reaches 100%, and he knocks out Muto and faints. Sho reveals himself and comments that Mob manages to amplify and reverse Muto's illusion. Sho brings Ritsu and Mob to the division leader, and moments later, Matsuo arrives as he had captured Dimple too and says that he threw him in a jar with a hundred evil spirits, where they will devour each other, and only one will come out.

Hoshino and the rest of the espers manage to reach the front gates, but see the guards bowing and sense a strong esper power, guessing the boss is coming. Reigen then enters the building.
