Maquia manages to escape the destruction and chaos of war, but with no home or people, she becomes a wanderer in a dark forest. She comes across Erial, an infant mortal...

Joe faces off against the "Bloody Lion", Glen Burroughs. But if he wants his friends to live, he'll have to throw the match.

Nanbu and Joe are preparing for their first official match, but in order to do that, they'll need to find a decent set of Gear first.
