Plot
The game starts as Ciel and small group of resistance soldiers is being hunted by mavericks and golems. Some of resistance soldiers fall behind, but they can't stop their advance. Pursued, Ciel reaches huge door. Passy, her cyber elf says:"I feel strong energy emanating from here. This must be the place." After that, soldiers blow up the door, and Ciel, Passy and Milan enter the room, with Zero's lifeless body in the middle of room. Milan tries to touch it, but he is knocked back by energy shield that protects Zero. While they try to figure out how to bypass the shield, mavericks appear at the door. Milan orders Ciel to run, and dies, being hit by one of the mavericks. Passy yells to Ciel:"You have to use my power. You have no choice." Ciel thinks while mavericks come closer and closer, and agrees sadly. Passy's sacrifice breaks the energy shield and brings Zero back to life...
