Shu and the others have finally found Nene. Shu, Jiro, and Marumaro fight Nene while Jiburaru's army is having a hard time fighting Grand Kingdom's army. But then, Shu, Jiro, and Marumaro got to a big disaster and Zola needed to get in.

During their search for Jiro, Shu runs across news of a small war about to happen between a Rosekstan sub fleet led by Captain Varenko and a small band of resistance led by Captain Crester (one of the surviving members of Grand Kingdom). The party continues forward anyway hoping not to get found, leading to the combination of Saber Tiger and Hippopotamus with the 'stealth mode'. During but a few moments, Crester's band of resistance were eliminated. It was then suddenly Micheal appears before Crester and grant him the power to call his own Wyvern-like shadow allowing him to devastate General Logi's sub fleet. Having found out that the shadow that Crester wields is different from the normal Shadows and the Artificial Shadows used by Grand Kingdom, Shu's party steps in to defeat Crester. After defeating Saber Tiger and Hippopotamus, Crester faces off against Shu and Blue Dragon. After Crester is defeated, Shu, Bouquet, and Marumaro learn about the 'Dragon scales' Mikhail handed out which can grant miraculous powers to the user. They then overhear one of the Rosekstan soldiers tell Captain Varenko that they lost contact with General Logi.

Noi reveals himself to be one of the 'Investiture Beings', but keeps it from Shu and the others to keep their trust. The battle with Shu and Mikhail rages on again with Mikhail unleashing his Red Dragon shadow even when Marumaro and Saber Tiger throw themselves in front of Mikhail's attack. Mikhail reveals his true form as the Red Dragon itself. Meanwhile, Lotarus notices the soldiers in white approaching. The warriors Vermillion and Furioso watch the fight recapping about Primella's prediction of Albarose' destruction when Dr. Tarkovsky appears identifying the Red Dragon as Mikhail as their tri-barrel technological weapons get positioned. Mikhail ends up overpowering Blue Dragon in fusion form. Shu refuses to give up when Mikhail starts attacking Noi for breaking the rules of the Investiture Beings. Then Noi transforms into his black dragon form, revealing himself in front of Shu and initiates the forbidden fusion with Blue Dragon to gain a new dragonite form and evening the odds with Mikhail. During the fight, the soldiers in white step in firing a tri-barrel weapon called the Brunack causing Mikhail to flee. The soldiers corner Shu and co. as Vermillion introduces them as the "White Brigade" and stated that their mission were absolute destructions of all shadows.
