Members of "The O'Hara Foundation" arrive and attempt to steal the sphere, but Lloyd appears, stating that the device killed Edward and bids Ray to flee and deliver the device to Robert Stephenson.

Lloyd and Ray reach the cadre of the castle and remove one of the Steam Balls, only Lloyd is shot and recaptured by O'Hara as Ray escapes with the device. The next morning, the exhibition is underway, and Ray brings the ball to Robert Stephenson, giving him the ball and the cognition he caused in captivity. The British military attempts to abort Edward, but Edward unleashes his steam powered weapons on the soldiers, turning the exhibition into a war zone.
