Crowley grabs Ferid by the head and throws him against a wall, this causes bewilderment of a nearby JIDA soldier, prompting him to order to call Kureto. The chains begin to attack Crowley, which he upholds against with difficulty.

Ferid banters around and proposes that they should run away, Crowley addresses Ferid has no legs. Forthwith, Crowley's head is slashed off by the Chains, his body falls on his knees upon the floor. Ferid quips that the situation was bad and he may finally die today.

Shinoa's possessed body sits upright upon her stretcher, Ferid asks if she is the First Progenitor. Shinoa, visibly possessed who's eyes are of different color and sharp, marks on face, resembling a demon possession alludes that she is. Ferid begins to reattach his torso and engages in a conversation with the First Progenitor. He questions the purpose of this destroyed world, the endless and meaningless human wars, why Vampires were bodies that won't die after extensive damage, and the reason Vampires lived. Ferid blames the First Progenitor for giving this "Curse" to Vampires. Shinoa question what Ferid would do with this information, Ferid responds he will decide once he hears. The First Progenitor states that he was not the one who made him immortal, Ferid affirms this and says he "Cursed" his father and caused this ripple effect.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Ikebukuro Station East Exit, Saito acknowledges the awakening of the First Progenitor and questions his reasoning.

In Ikebukuro, Old Hyakuya Sect Underground Headquarters, missile operators acquire a Target Signal. Upon Saito's orders a myriad amount of SAM missiles encased in a vast amount of missile vehicles are launched and head toward a target.

Above Osaka, the Vampire main force is headed to Tokyo via large amount of helicopters. Urd, Lest, Krul, Ky, all situated in a helicopter, also acknowledge the awakening of the First Progenitor. Lest and Ky discuss the possibility of this being a trap. Urd silences them and asks them if they hear that noise. Urd opens the helicopter door and looks outside, he is confronted by the sight of a plethora of missiles headed towards the heli-group. Urd informs that the helicopters will crash, he sheathes his sword and attacks the missiles, exploding some. He realizes that there are too many, he jumps and latches upon another helicopter. Urd looks at the destroyed Helios falling and remarks that if that was enough to kill them, they were lucky. Ky regroups with Urd, latching upon the heli, Ky informs that Lest has fallen and will reach them soon, while Krul's whereabouts were unknown. More missiles approach them, forcing Ky and Urd to withdraw the air and go to the ground. As Urd is leaping upon missiles, he asserts this attack must be Saito's doing, stating the First Progenitor would never concern himself with them.

A flashback ensues, the First Progenitor is grinning and sitting lavishly in a chair and Yu is beside him. Urd and Saito are engaging in a conversation with him.

In the present, Urd lands on ground and states that Saito's actions were always a waste of effort, no matter how much they chased the First Progenitor, he would never be concerned about the Vampires. Ky and Lest regroup with Urd. In his internal dialogue, Urd questions Saito's motives and if he was looking for an excuse to die.

Saito looks up and the night sky, remarking that the moon was beautiful and it would be wonderful to die tonight. He mentions that Urd would not. A soldier appears and announces that all the air targets were eliminated. Saito comments that this bought them half a day for his advance to Shibuya. Saito then directs his army of the Legion of the Hyakuya Sect to eradicate the Japanese Imperial Demon Army tonight.
