Rod Rian leads Taro and his men in search of water, food and shelter on the Island of the Living Dead. Rod and Karin are attacked by a "huge beast", but the Unicors put the creature to rout. They come upon a pond of water where a "living-skeleton" is resting. Rod fights off the skeleton. One of the Unicor solders rushes to the water and drinks it, and it turns him into a living skeleton. Rod suggests it's only an illusion, and the Unicor agrees as he can feel his flesh and skin. Back on Earth, Elmus discusses with Chan the possibility of their combined forces eliminating the Mephisian pirates.
