The episode starts with a glimpse of an imminent future then returns to the present. A speech is given to the audience about the imperial capital's current situation, reporting activity of mutant monsters, circulation of illegal firearms, and an increased number of crimes by citizens in public, which have escalated into riots. At a warehouse, a man named Innumael Grauer is scolded for gambling on work weekends by the boss. On seeing them imperial soldier Leonardo offers to help him load the goods, who accidentally loads the package onto the truck, and hurries off to his first day of work. A group tracking the package realises it was loaded mistakenly. The captain of the Imperial Army platoon that Leocadio joins informs him of the extreme activity of the smuggling organisation Headkeeper, who is preparing to retrieve the package, when Innumael arrives at a checkpoint. A guard opens the package and finds heavy weaponry and glowing chemical tubes which immediately gets Innumael arrested, locked up, and being held to be interrogated by Leocadio's platoon. Headkeeper breaks him out of jail along with the retrieved package. As they notice they are being followed by the imperial army, they try to get away from the platoon, and instead intercept the heavy weaponry that Innumael unknowingly smuggled. While fighting the Captain brutally injures Damian and Innumael, and kills Seitz to save Schakke. | |||||
