Shu arrives at the Undertakers Headquarters at Roppongi Fort where Gai introduces him to the Undertakers and plans to hold a trial for Shu before he can officially join them. Gai assigns Ayase as Shu's instructor while he leads a mission to take over "Leukocyte". Ayase dislikes Shu but is only training him because it was Gai's orders and Shu has to pass the trial as Ayase has his pen, unaware it's a transmitter but she will only give it back after passing the trial. After some hard training, Shu encounters Inori, telling her that he joined the Undertakers because of her and asks her if she will join him if he wanted to leave the Undertakers. But Inori tells him she won't because Gai gave her a life and purpose and claims Gai told her to use his feelings for her to join Undertakers before entering Gai's room. Dejected, Shu runs away and bumps into Ayase, who consoles Shu and gives him some encouragement for tomorrow's trial. Unknown to both of them, despite what it seems, Inori is actually giving Gai a blood transfusion. On the day of trial, Shu has a mock battle with Ayase's Steiner where if he gets past Steiner and into the vehicle behind it, he will pass the trial.

Meanwhile at Tsukigase Dam, Major Segai informs the Anti Bodies director Shuichiro Keido that his men are prepared for the Undertakers attack including Daryl, who wants revenge against the Undertakers for stealing his Steiner. As Gai gets another blood transfusion in a room alone, he confesses to what he assumes is Inori that he regrets of the lives who died for him and it was difficult to act as their fearless leader until he realizes the other person was in fact Shu due to Inori. Shu admits he never wanted to see this side of Gai and agrees to join the operation. As the Undertakers distract the GHQ forces guarding the dam, Shu, Gai, and Kenji sneak into the Leukocyte control system with Inori defending them. As Gai and Shu hacks the control system with Tsugumi's help via Funell, Segai sends Daryl to stop them which Gai battles and disables Daryl's Endlave.

In order to stop it, Gai makes a deal with Segai that he will stop the crashing satellite using Shu's transmitter, revealing it is actually a targeting beacon for the Leukocytes, in exchange that he destroys all records of Shu's involvement with the Undertakers. Realizing Gai is sacrificing himself to destroy the falling satellite, Shu, with Inori's encouragement, combines Kenji's and Inori's Voids to destroy not only the falling satellite but also the one still in space.

While the student council thinks the students are being hard on Arisa, Tsugumi coldly dismisses the matter. Souta calls her out on her behavior. Later, she talks with Inori and realizes she may have been insensitive since the student council treats each other as family. Tsugumi reveals that she does not know what family is as she is an orphan. As the student council discovers a Genome Resonance Gauge that allows them to measure the power of a person's Void, Segai enacts Shuichiro’s plan to exterminate the civilians inside Loop 7 by Endlaves operated by a "Ghost Unit." Segai allows the news of the slaughters to spread, causing distress and panic as part of his demagogy strategy. Meanwhile, Oogumo and Arugo, are tasked by Arisa's grandfather to find and rescue Arisa and the Tennouzu High students. The next day, trouble arises on campus as the result of an internet rumor claiming that the GHQ will allow anyone that brings them a member of the Undertakers will be allowed to leave. This causes witch hunts by desperate students. Arisa tries to restore order, telling the students not to believe the rumor and remain calm. However, the rebellious students, who challenge Arisa, bring Tsugumi and Ayase before the student body, accusing them to be members of the Undertakers. With the desperate students unwilling to listen to Arisa, Shu stands up to the crowd and reveals his affiliation with the Undertakers to stop them from hurting Tsugumi and Ayase.
