Metallic Rouge S01E09 | The Ones Who Visited

Aerkos has seemingly sided with Alter and attacks Rouge. Jean attempts to aid her but he is captured by Graufon while Eden has his core removed by Silvia, returning him to human form. Alter then withdraws after giving Rouge an ultimatum: her core for Jean. Rouge attempts to give chase but is intercepted by Cyan. Although they are evenly matched, Rouge hesitantly follows Naomi's advice to synchronize with Cyan, causing a pulse that neutralizes their combat forms. Naomi takes Rouge to meet the Visitors who reveal Naomi is a Nean they created to be their intermediary with humanity. The Visitors reveal that they seek a new homeworld, giving humanity their technology in return for using the Neans to terraform Venus and to fight off their enemies, the Usurpers. Meanwhile, Alter heads for Venus where the Carnival has landed and Usurper forces invade from the outer solar system. While the Visitors want Rouge to stay in isolation, Naomi convinces them to let her join the fight, prompting Rouge to forgive Naomi for her deceptions. Eden then arrives with Ash in his private spaceship and offers to take Rouge and Naomi to Venus.
