Near the new port of Marseilles, France. Riku finally awakens from a coma and everyone is overjoyed. But Riku is anxious about the way his body feels. Something is different. Worried about his little brother, Kai is frustrated about not being able to help him in any way. In the mean time the Schiff is about to reach the Red Shield HQ after Saya.

Kai finds out that Riku has turned into a chevalier. "What can I do?" Kai keeps asking himself, wandering around in the city of Paris. He comes across Irene in the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower. She's terribly weakened, but she's ready to disclose what she knows about Schiff's past...

As Irene starts showing signs of dying, Kai refers to Saya what he was told about Schiff. But for the girl, who firmly believes that her task is to exterminate the Chiroptera, this is the first time she feels desperately far away from her stepbrother. In the meanwhile, Julia isolates a DNA component that apparently does not belong to any known living creature on this planet...

Kai begs Saya to give her blood to Irene and save her from the advancing crystallization process. But Saya hesitates: what will she decide in the end?

In the meanwhile, in the Red Shield HQ, Julia continues her researches, but she notices that her mentor Collins has got in touch with an unexpected person...

Kai tells Saya that he knows what she is. He suggests that Saya read Joels Diary. As she meets Joel at Red Shield HQ and starts reading the Diary, the shocking truth about Diva and the events in Vietnam back in 1972 slowly unveils...

It's a beautiful day, and Saya invites Hagi, Riku and Kai for a walk in the streets of Paris. It had been a long time since they enjoyed a peaceful time. But Kai is not comfortable and distances from Saya. Riku tries to go between the two, so that the three could restore their former relationship.

Meanwhile, David receives an unexpected visitor...

Diva and Carl's attack puts the Red Shield Headquarters into great chaos. The ship's wall and floor are shattered and the black clad bodies lay everywhere. Saya faces difficulty as Carl continues to launch destructive attacks. Kai takes Riku to join David at a meeting point inside the ship, but...

It has been one year since Diva's attack on the Red Shield Headquarters. Kai and the others stay with David's old comrade in the outskirts of London. Passing time brings various changes to everyone. But again, the Chiroptera overshadow the streets of London...

Kai at last is reunited with Saya, but the girl faints from exhaustion. Kai brings Saya to Glay's home to take care of her, but the enemy is again lurking in the darkness ready to attack...

A year had passed and that period of time had clearly brought changes to the Schiff. Thorns emerge in Goodliff and Dirth. The few remaining comrades draw together quietly in an abandoned church avoiding the sun.

But they are about to be battered by another desperation, as the Corpse Corps abruptly attacks them...

Assisted by Okamura and Mao, David locates the Goldsmith and Cinq Fleches joint-venture lab in the outskirts of London. Meanwhile, Saya and Hagi discover that Diva is going to perform at the Royal Opera House in London. They sneak into the opera house, but...

Saya is invited to a birthday party for Javier, one of Glay's children. But once at the party, Saya feels that she does not belong there after all. As Kai and all others care for Saya, who has shut her mind from them, Carl closes in on Glay's residence with Corpse Corps. And his distorted love for Saya forces him to yet further insanity...

Okamura and Mao inform that Diva's promotional video was planned to be filmed on a deserted island with ruins of a small village on the seaside. David and others head for Christina Island. There awaited James and Corpse Corps, the mass-produced version of the Schiff!
