Full Plot Summary

The Silver Rhythm airship soars into the sky. In a flashback, Hebi who wears a gas mask rescues Ruby but not the Butt Bandits. Plue was the only conscious one when Hebi rescue everyone. When Elie asks about the seal, Ruby tells her that he is not a seal. Ruby remembers Frankenstein's words, and he is still angry at him. Ruby cries afterwards. Haru reassure Ruby that his father will understand. Haru promise Ruby that the Yugekidan gang will not hurt Ruby. Musica wants Ruby to be kicked off the ship while Haru and Elie try to persuade them to keep Ruby. Let admits he has no money and that penguin will be a burden. Ruby reveals under his hat that he has leftover jewelry. Also, Ruby explains that he owns the Empire Gate and that they can get through free. After Haru and the others go to celebrate Ruby's welcome, Ruby asks Let if he is a subhuman due to Ruby's sharp sense of smell. Let replies that it is none of Ruby's business.

Meanwhile, at Ruby's ship, Drew's gang wonders who Haru's gang is and the big butt gang. At another place, Deep Snow (north), Blank (south), Wada (East), and Jade (West) gather for a general's meeting. Since Demon Card is destroyed, the generals discuss about the empire. Blank wants to use their empire's army to reinforce their reputation. Deep Snow and Wada decides to analyze the situation first. Wada explains the data about the teams in the world. Fierce Gods are south of Albana continent, Blue Guardians are thieves, and Drew Yukigekidan. Deep Snow talks about a demon who was released in a mega prison.

At a prison, Sieg Hart asks a surviving soldier what has happened. At the general's meeting, Jade wants them not to release the blonde demon from the mega unit. The surviving soldier tells Sieg Hart that the blonde demon is heading towards Symphonia. In the cell 66, Sieg Hart looks at the writing and learns that the blond demon is a threat to time.

Back at the ship, Musica's ship is getting closer to the Death Storm which means Symphonia is close. Hebi reports that they are two unknown ships after them. Musica notes that they are Hell Killers and Druid. Suddenly, the two ships are destroyed by dark lightning. Ruby points out that it is Drew's powers. Suddenly, the boat almost capsizes. Plue, Griffon, and the others help Ruby. Haru sees the Empire Gate. The Doryu ship fires and destroy the Empire Gate. Now, Haru's group have to decide to fight or pass through the Death Storm. Haru decides to head toward Symphonia even if it means death.

Inside the ship, Elie and the gang brace each other. Haru, who is outside, takes on the storm. Elie gets into a trauma when the lightning reminds her of her past. Ruby and Musica ask Elie if she is okay while Musica asks Haru to come inside the ship. Musica heads to the control room to help Hebi. Let tells Ruby to watch Haru.

At the general's meeting, Jade, Deep Snow, and the others learn that a blonde demon has escaped the megaunit and wiped out an army. Hebi tells Let that the ship is cracking. Let closes the gap with his hands and pushes the water. When a tide of water comes at the ship, Haru uses Runesave to cut through the water.

In a flashback, Elie remembers talking about a ship. Haru comes to get Elie, and the two come outside to stare at the blue sky. The blonde demon (Lucia Raregroove) asks the soldier on how to get to Symphonia, but he strangles the guy to death.
