X-Bomber comes to the rescue but the 'Skull' flies off without making contact.
Episode 6: X-BOMBER GOES FORTH
General Kyle decides the 'Skull' holds the key to the F-01 mystery, and orders X-Bomber to track it down. Makara appears again, demanding they hand over Lamia. Seeming to retreat when faced with X-Bomber, she follows secretly as it goes after the 'Skull', attacking to lure the 'Skull' to X-Bomber's rescue.

Episode 20: M13: FULL FRONTAL ATTACK BEGINS!
X-Bomber lands on Callinean (M13) and finds Professor Hagen has been there since his disappearance, secretly constructing a laser cannon to protect its peace loving people from the Alliance, though their King has vowed never to use it.

Episode 21: M13: A BATTLE WITH NO TOMORROW!
X-Bomber, Prof. Hagen at the helm, tackles Makara's ship while Dai-X takes on the Death Ball, with almost disastrous results. Eventually X-tracers blow up Caliban's creation and the King relents, firing Hagen's laser cannon at Makara's ship, which retreats.

Transformed into an ethereal child of peace, Lamia nonetheless destroys the Imperial Master and his fortress.
