Feeling powerless, Renton makes a promise to save her. He joined the military and was assigned to the Independent Youth Unit 303 of the 1st Mobile Army due to his exceptional skills with Nirvash, a bio-mechanical protection/control system.

Out of the blue, a mysterious entity called “Secret” appears and attacks the Scub Coral creatures on the island. In a passionate effort to protect the island, Ao boards a military facility called “Nirvash” aboard a Japanese military transport.
