When the Granites nab Phryne during the Star Festival ambush, the temple authorities retaliate with an attack on the secret village in hopes of recovering the priestess.

After they crash their ship, Clain and an ill Nessa find themselves in the extravagant city of Xanadu under the care of deceptively friendly doppels.

The high priest holds Phryne and the wounded Clain in an underground base. A Nessa look-alike shows Clain how much the temple cherishes Phryne. Meanwhile, Sunda recruits the other Lost Millenium factions for a rescue mission.

After the Granites lift Clain, Phryne and Nessa safely from the rubble of the destroyed lab, the factions of the Lost Millennium face the fateful decision to unite for their best shot to bring Fractale down--or surrender.

The battle between the Lost Millenium and the temple's forces rages on. Phryne reaches the Archpriestess, but will her pleas to end the war and let Fractale fade out fall on deaf ears?

Clain is helpless behind a clear wall as Barrot details Phryne's role in the system, but the priest's demented rant is cut short. As the temple begins to collapse and Nessa starts to fade, the future of Fractale--and all of mankind--lies in Phryne's hands.
