This episode recounts events form Stage 1: Uoodo City.
"An agreement to end the Hundred Years War was finally reached around the time I deserted the Melkian army. Six months passed. My pursuit of the men who had lead me into a trap had brought me to the city of Uoodo...
Battling Mock AT combat by ruffians who longed for the battlefield. But the gamblers were willing to pay even more for the real battles I became involved in. Battles with live ammo in our rifles. Despite the winnings, I wasn't doing it for the money. I thought by fighting in these real battles, I might encounter HEr again...
Fyana...without even thinking about it, I called her Fyana. Fyana...are you now somewhere in this green hell? Will I ever meet you again?"

Recap episode.
"After escaping the military, I was ensnared into working the jijirium mine at the city of Uoodo. I thought I'd escaped hell...but this was hell, too...It was in Uoodo that I finally found him...Major Iskui. He and the others on the decommissioned ship Teltain had thrown my life into chaos. It's been a long six months.
"Before I knew it, we were in an underground armory, fighting each other in our ATs. The clanging of steel and the smell of gunpowder were both familiar and disquieting to me. I understood. This girl was that strange life form I saw. She was called a PS, and was the military's deepest secret.
"When I deserted the army, I picked up a bloodhound who was after the Secret Society that stole the PS. Always floating in the back of my mind was the mocking laughter of Captain Jean Paul Rochina. To maintain this secret, they destroyed a city. But all the death and destruction was merely a prelude to the destiny I was burdened with."

This episode recounts events from Stage 3: Deadworld Sunsa.
"The last thing I rember is escaping the jungles of Kummen with Fyana. There's no doubt about that. But right after that, something grabbed us. Where am I? Why am I here? When I cam to, I discovered we were on board a warship. Just the two of us.
"Who was trying to rip open the old wounds I'd finally closed? It was horrible. We didn't know the true intentions of whoever had brought us here. But it was clear they held no good will toward me.
"The sudden Balarant attack was what saved my soul. But then, I always ended up running away into a battle like this. Only in battle...the only place I feel at home...is in battle.
"We abandoned the ship. I think our mysterious overseer had forecast that as well. I wondered what else he had scripted for us.
"Yes, Ypsilon. I guess I really can call you a soulmate of mine. You and I are both killing machines."

Having lost all contact with the Scopedogs chasing Chirico, the combined fleet consider their final option; that of destroying Quent itself.
Chirico smashes the last of his pursuers and nearly collapses from the effort. Finally, Fyana appears in her Berserga and asks him one last time to turn back. He refuses, firing on her and throwing her backward into a teleport field. She is gone. Wiseman congratulates him, and beckons him on by foot.
Chirico struggles to reach the final goal, the central core of the Wiseman bio-computer, the collective consciousness of the Overmen. Chirico lies unable to move, and Wiseman lowers a large machine toward him, one that will complete the bond between God and successor. All Chirico has to do now is stand up...but instead he plays his final gambit, firing a bulled directly into the machine!
At last, Chirico's subterfuge is revealed - having come this far and lead all of his enemies into their own death, he now sets about the work of destroying Wiseman itself. Wiseman pleads with him to stop, explaining that it was he who brought Chirico together with Fyana, and provided her name. This gave Chirico something further to live for, and with life came the desire for strength and power. Wiseman also explains that Chirico need not regret the death and violence he has dealt in the battlefield, saying that "God does not sin when he kills."
Chirico ignores every word, continuing to disable the computer core. As Wiseman's consciousness begins to disintegrate, it lashes out one last time, throwing Chirico to the ground with an electric shock. He rises to see Rochina standing over him. Rochina tries to stop Chirico's sabotage, but Fyana leaps in to overpower him. She recognized his true intentions when he fired only to damage her AT. Together, the two complete the work of killing God and flee to safety as Rochina screams in anger and dispair and what he has lost.
The combined fleets of the Gilgamesh and the Balarant stand witness as Quent explodes with the fury of a sun.
Epilogue: One Year Later
A stolen shuttlecraft soars away from a Gilgamesh planet as a new war dawns on the horizon. Sometime later, a tiny capsule is released into space. Inside this capsule, preparing to disappear into history, Chirico holds Fyana dnd bids farewell to his Friends as they drift off in search of a world untouched by war.
"Coconna. Gotho. Vanilla. Shako. I'm glad I was able to meet all of you. And you, Fyana..."
