When Tessa is found wandering dazed and barefoot on a California highway, her attending psychiatrist just might be in for the case of a lifetime. The story Tessa tells sounds like an intricate delusion, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Sousuke's grudge against Kurama escalates into a full-blown shooting war on the streets of Namsac, but is it possible for him to fight this war all by himself? And every war has its share of casualties.

The Crossbow team takes part in their first illegal battle, but nefarious forces are at work behind the scenes. If Sousuke doesn't play his cards right, this first battle could end up being his last.

While enjoying considerable success fighting in the arena for Nami's team, Sousuke starts to grow accustomed to his new life in Namsac. But little things keep reminding him he came to this city with a specific purpose in mind.

Sousuke makes his way to the city of Namsac, where people bet on fighting matches between decommissioned Arm Slaves. Thanks to a bit of serendipity, he meets a team owner named Nami at the arena just when she's looking for an AS operator.

Sousuke and Kaname work together to save Kyoko and everyone else at Jindai High, and they both reach a point where they must make difficult, fateful decisions. Tessa likewise tries to save as many of her people as possible as she abandons the island base.

The SRT team has its hands more than full trying to protect Merida Island from three rampaging Behemoths. Sousuke and Kaname attempt to deal with their own frantic situation, as Amalgam's Kurama drags the students of Jindai High School into the fray.

In Tokyo, Sousuke and Kaname flee from enemy agents in a desperate attempt to rendezvous with their allies. On Merida Island, Mithril struggles to respond to a fierce and demoralizing assault by Amalgam forces.

Leonard and Kalinin make every effort to spirit Kaname away before Sousuke can reach her. As battle erupts between rival Amalgam factions and Mithril remnants, Sousuke and Kaname both find they have to fight against fate to hold on to hope.

Lemon determines where Kaname is likely being held captive, so Sousuke and his ragtag group launch a rescue mission. But many forces are on the move this stormy night, and the mission doesn't quite go according to plan.

Amalgam decides it's time to get serious about its Mithril problem, and this means big challenges are on the horizon for Sousuke, Kaname, and Tessa. As enemies close in on all fronts, will they find ways to overcome those challenges?

When Tessa rushes to an SDF base after hearing that an A21 member has been captured, she’s shocked to find Takuma Kugayama. Seina, at the controls of an RK-92, has an even bigger surprise waiting.

Sousuke suddenly decides to become Mizuki’s boyfriend! The cold, watchful eyes of Mizuki's friends settle firmly on Sagara - but it’s Kaname’s reaction he should be worrying about.

With his heart set on saving Kurz and Kaname, Sousuke climbs into the pilot seat of Mithril's new AS - the Arbalest - to take on Gauron!

Kaname, Sousuke, and Kurz are out of options, so Sousuke suggests that Kaname should flee on her own. Not only does she refuse, she manages to save all three of them!

When Kaname and Sousuke find their escape from the terrorists blocked, Sousuke uses a Savage to begin an AS battle. The skirmish is interrupted when Gauron executes a perplexing move.

Kaname’s plane gets hijacked by terrorists led by Gauron - who is supposed to by dead. Sousuke is frantically formulating a rescue plan when he feels the cold weight of a pistol pressed to his temple.

Tessa wavers uncertainly before ordering an attack on the Whispered Research facility. Meanwhile, Sousuke, Mao, and Kurz tail a suspicious-looking character that has crept into Kaname's apartment.

Gauron unleashes Venom on Sousuke’s Arbalest. Sagara fights back ferociously, putting Gauron on the defensive as the action intensifies and the end draws near.
