Story

Having taken the Dark Elf from its resting place, sealed in the depths of Neo Arcadia, Elpizo was sure he would possess ultimate power. But it turned out to be too much for him to control, and he was defeated at the hands of Zero. They were able to avoid a repeat of the tragedy that was the Elf Wars, but behind the relief was a shadowy figure who had been hoping and praying for the revival of the Dark Elf for a long time.

And so, one day, long after the Dark Elf nightmare has passed and the Neo Arcadia attacks have subsided, news that a giant spaceship has crashed down on a snowy plan makes its way to the Resistance. Learning that there is an energy reaction at the crash site as strong as the Dark Elf. Ciel, alongside Zero and her friends in the Resistance, sets off to investigate.[1]
