The episode opens in Aries, Chie (now a Major) and her squad of Delta Otome are attempting to resolve a hostage crisis involving a bus that was hijacked by former Artai soldiers loyal to Nagi. The hijackers demand that their former Duke be released from prison in exchange for the hostages. Sara Gallagher, arrives on scene and briefs Chie and Haruka that Arika is onboard the bus, it is revealed that following the events of the previous episode, a distraught Arika left Windbloom and went off alone in search of Mashiro.

However, once the hijackers have been neutralized a large flower-like tendril emerges from the ground below the bus. A Slave-like creature (which Sara calls a 'Child') emerges form the 'bulb' of the object and Haruka materializes her robe to do battle with the creature together with the rest of the Otome, during the battle, the Child displays the ability to regenerate its injuries. To make matters worse, the shadowy figure (now in the form of Fumi) reappears, attacking both Sara and Haruka.
