The Great Imperial Theater - To the people of the Taisho capital, Tokyo, it is a symbol of pleasure and entertainment.

The recent collaboration between the theater's troupe and stars from Paris and New York is the talk of the town.

With rave reviews, the show is fully booked every day. These are busy times for the staff and cast of the Great Imperial Theater.

Ogami: Phew. Good job, everyone. Today was another roaring success!

Ichiro Ogami, a man who has worked his way up from ticket collector all the way to manager of the theater.

Sakura: Ogami! Today was another full house!

Sakura Shinguji, one of the players in the Imperial Operetta Troupe. As the headline act, she helps Ogami run the theater.

Erica: Ogami, thank you sooo much for everything...

Sister Erica Fontaine, a nun-in-training from Paris. She dances at Chattes Noires.

Gemini: Good job today, everyone!

Gemini Sunrise, the star of New York's Little Lip Theater.

The trio of Sakura, Erica, and Gemini is all anyone in the Imperial Capital can talk about.

Erica: Haah, I can't believe I messed up again. I just keep falling over...

Ogami: Haha. Don't worry, Erica, it happens to the best of them.

Erica: But today when I tripped up I tore down the curtain and even brought the lighting down!

Erica: The lights then set fire to the curtains and the whole place went up...

Ogami: Well it looks like the audience thought it was all part of the performance, so I think we got away with it.

Erica: I'm so sorry everyone, I'm letting the whole team down...

Sakura: Heeheehee. Erica, we all have our off days.

Gemini: And the way the lights went Bang! Crash! Crack! Wallop! I ain't never seen anything like it, even in New York!

Gemini: The audience loved it! I swear they were on the verge of calling for an encore!

Gemini: I guess you could say that you really brought the house down!

Erica: Heeheehee. You're so funny, Gemini, thank you...

Ogami: OK, I'm gonna go close up shop. Gotta get ready for tomorrow, we're bound to have another full house.

Gemini: Ah! Is there anything I can help you with?

Erica: I wanna help too!

Ogami: Well then, would you mind if I asked you and Gemini to clean the seats?

Erica: Can do!

Sakura: Hehehe, that takes me back.

Sakura: Do you remember when you first came to the theater, Ogami? It was so run down... A bit like how it looks now.

Ogami: Oh, I remember.

Ogami: I remember you and Sumire getting into a fight on stage.

Sakura: Heheh, I guess it's not really something you can forget.

Sakura: You'd stay behind so late to make sure the theater was nice and clean for the next day's performance.

Ogami: Yeah... Gosh, how many years has it been?

Sakura: ...Those were also lively times.

Ogami: The Assault Force is still out there, defending the city... I hope they're all right.

Sakura: Don't worry, once they're done with their duties let's join them.

Sakura: !
Ogami!

Ogami: Are they back already? Let's get to the debriefing room, pronto!

Ogami: Koumas, appearing worldwide... They must be making their way here to the Imperial Capital.

Ogami and the others have gathered in the Great Imperial Theater's debriefing room.

The "Imperial Operetta Troupe" is the guise they take during peace times. They are in fact a secret defense force.

Ogami: The Koumas are performing a ritual, targeting the underground power veins across the globe. To what purpose we are still not sure.

Ogami: What we do know is that we can't let them complete their objective. We have to stop them, no matter what.

Ogami: With our forces down to just Sakura, Erica and Gemini and their Spirit Armor, this is not going to be an easy fight.

Ogami: I wish I could be more help, but as you know my Koubu MK2 was destroyed in the last battle.

Sakura: Only because you were saving me. Don't worry, I'll fight for the both of us!

Shinjiro: Apologies, but it seems that my unit is also not operational at this time.

This is Shinjiro Taiga, Ogami's nephew. He has come from New York's Little Lip Theater to help his uncle.

Promoted to Ensign Lieutenant at the age of 19, his uncle left him in charge of the New York Assault Force when he left.

Gemini: Don't worry! My beloved Rodeo Star is strong enough to fight for the both of us, Shinjiro!

Gemini: With Red Sun in my hand I'll slash and push these varmints back to where they came from!

Gemini: So bring on the Koumas! I'm ready for 'em!

Shinjiro: Ow!

Gemini: Heheh. Sorry, I got a bit carried away. I’m just sayin' that I'll do my best, so you don't need to worry.

Shinjiro: Thank you, Gemini.

Ogami: The other members have landed all over the world, but they are fast approaching. We won't have long to wait.

Ogami: We won't be on the front lines, but as commanders we will need to be near the action. I want to see you all here when it's over.

Ogami: Sakura, Erica, Gemini, the world is counting on you!

All Three: Roger! Yessiree!

Aoi Satan: Mwahaha...
So, the Assault Force has come at last...

Ogami: Is that... Aoi Satan? Impossible!

Sakura: Ogami, that power...

Sakura: The same Aoi Satan that took on the title of Demon King?

Ogami: What! So the one controlling this invasion of Koumas... It can't be!

Aoi Satan: I crafted this shell of a body after you defeated the Demon King. You will pay for what you've done.

Ogami: This is bad... Shinjiro, the command center is yours!

Shinjiro: Uncle? Going out there won't change anything!

Ogami: But... I can't just sit back here and watch this unfold!

Shinjiro: Wait! I... I'm coming with you!

Ogami and Shinjiro ready their swords, and with their hearts resolved jump into the fray.

Kouma: GROOOARGH!

Sakura: Eek!

Erica: Sakura!

Gemini: Mifune Sword Style!
Ultimate Technique!
Rumbling Wheel!

Koumas: GUARGH!

Gemini: It's... It's no good, there's too many! At this rate...

Ogami: Enough!

Aoi Satan: Ha... Mwahahaha! And just what are you planning to do with that sword?

Ogami: Do you think I can just stand on the side and watch my friends be mowed down? Aoi Satan, your time has come!

Aoi Satan: Mwahaha, very well. But you should know that my ritual is complete, this city is now mine!

Ogami: Wh-what!

Aoi Satan: Now come forth, mighty demon! Come to your father, and destroy this pitiful world!

Sakura: You can't!

Aoi Satan: Ugh!

Sakura unleashes a special attack in the hopes of interrupting Aoi Satan's ritual. However...

Aoi Satan: Mwahahaha! Pitiful girl, the gate is already open! Demon, arise!

Sakura: What... Ogami!

A bright light starts bursting forth from the Imperial Capital's ley line convergence point.

When the light fades a hole is visible in the convergence point.

Unknown monster: Wh-what the hell was that?

Ogami: Is that...

Shinjiro: A monster?

Unknown monster: Where the hell am I? (Captain)! Lyria! Anybody?

Aoi Satan: What is that thing? Is this the monster from the void that will destroy the world?

Unknown monster: Hey, you! I don't know what's going on here, but I'm gonna need you to send me back to where I came from!

Aoi Satan: Uh... What! What are you?

It seems that Sakura's attack did indeed interrupt Aoi Satan's summoning spell, causing him to summon this tiny thing.

The gate nevertheless opens, though the appearance of the small beast prevents the demon from coming through.

Aoi Satan: What! The gate, it closed!

Ogami: Whaaa?

Sakura: Gagh!

Unknown monster: Waaah! Not again!

The gate re-opens, swallowing Aoi Satan, the Koumas, and Ogami and the others. They fall through the darkness.

Shinjiro: Gemini!

Gemini: Shinjiro!

Sakura & Erica: Ogami!

Shinjiro and Gemini join hands, while Ogami, Sakura, and Erica do the same so as not to lose each other as they continue to fall.

Ogami: Sakura! Erica! Hold on tight, I don't want to lose you!

Ogami: Oh, noooo?

Erica: Huh?

Sakura: Wh-what? Ogami!

And so Ogami and the others are swallowed into that impenetrable darkness...

What will become of the Imperial Assault Force, and Ogami?
