Meanwhile, the Gray Ravens are headed towards a monastery where the Ascendants were last sighted but unfortunately, are chased by missiles from a destroyed warship infected by the Punishing Virus. Lee and the Commandant quickly take evasive maneuvers but are about to be overwhelmed when a lance comes out of nowhere, hitting the missiles and saving them. After they land safely in ARU territory, it is not long before they get surrounded by Corrupted. They end up being saved by the Forest Guards, a group of humanoid-hybrid Constructs. Before the Gray Ravens can establish friendly relations, the Forest Guards display hostility due to them being outsiders but are stopped by their captain, Rosetta. It turns out that Rosetta is the one who saved them in space earlier; she then invites the Gray Ravens to their camp for the night. |

As the night comes, the Gray Ravens and Forest Guards look up at the sky to see an aurora and enjoy a moment of peace. This is soon broken with a shout not far from the camp. Diana, one of the Forest Guards, detects Corrupted chasing a boy called Evan. In another location, Rosetta communicates with the mechanical narwhal, named Derek, about letting the town suffer the catastrophe but Derek disagrees with her. After defeating the Corrupted, Evan meets up with Rosetta and tells her that Derek is headed to the port and that the grown-ups are getting agitated with the narwhal trashing their ports and the increasing amount of Corrupted lately. Afterward, Rosetta goes to the port with Evan and the Gray Ravens. But upon arriving in New Murmansk, the party is met with hostility. The Gray Ravens find out that the townspeople deem Rosetta and the Forest Guards as criminals, and blame them for not doing enough in protecting New Murmansk against the narwhal and the Corrupted. Before the Gray Ravens can interrupt, Derek comes out from the surface of the ocean. |

The Gray Ravens head towards a monastery where the Ascendants were last sighted. While they are on the transport spacecraft, they are attacked by a barrage of missiles from a warship infected by the Punishing Virus. They manage to make a narrow escape when a lance comes flying out of nowhere, destroying the missiles. |
|||
On the other side, Alpha is trying to tame Derek but gets interrupted by an attack from Rosetta’s lance. Derek seizes this opportunity to escape Alpha’s control and dives back beneath the ocean. Alpha lands on the ground and quickly spots Rosetta as the one who attacked her. Before Lucia can unsheathe her blade, Rosetta starts to attack Alpha. As the two of them exchange blows, Derek resurfaces again and sends a signal to Rosetta, telling her it wants to save the people from the Corrupted. After witnessing the conversation, Alpha realizes that she and Rosetta share the same ideas regarding humanity’s destruction since she has neither chosen to evacuate New Murmansk nor bring the Forest Guards with her. Meanwhile, Lucia tells the Commandant that she wants to fight with Alpha one more time. Her request is received by Babylonia and is sent her new frame: Dawn. |
|||
The Gray Ravens become surrounded by the Corrupted soon after they land in ARU territory. They are saved by the Forest Guards, a group of humanoid-hybrid Constructs. The Forest Guards are initially wary of the Gray Ravens due to their being outsiders, but their leader, Rosetta, invites the Gray Ravens to their camp for the night. It turns out that Rosetta is also the one who saved them in space earlier. |
|||
On the battlefield, Alpha tries to win over Rosetta to her side but is disturbed soon after being attacked by an ARU citizen. Alpha, displeased with her conversation interrupted, launches a counterattack. The citizen is soon corrupted but not for a short time before Liv injects an Anti-Punishing serum. Rosetta then tells the townspeople to flee because a massive tide of Corrupted is coming but sadly, her effort is only to be met by rejection. Alpha then gives the option for Rosetta to choose between saving the narwhal or defending New Murmansk. While Lucia changes her frame, Rosetta switches her form and flies to attack her before getting interrupted by Lee and Liv. Soon after, the tide of Corrupted arrives and plunges the entire area into chaos. The Forest Guards, led by Diana, arrive to help ward off the Corrupted. She proceeds to tell the townspeople, who have previously avoided them, to never forget this act. Liv moves to help them while Lee faces Rosetta, but is quickly overwhelmed. |

After a while, Rosetta’s corruption levels rise as her M.I.N.D. reaches its boiling point and flies over to Derek. Alpha then tries to make Rosetta an Ascendant since she displays the qualifications but she is attacked by Lucia with her newly equipped Dawn frame. This angers Alpha, telling Lucia that it was her last chance to save Rosetta, and proceeds to defeat her quickly. Alpha tries for the last time to tame the narwhal but Rosetta, who is now fully corrupted, attacks the injured Lucia. Upon seeing this, Alpha reluctantly stops taming the narwhal and saves Lucia from Rosetta’s spear, dragging her into the water. She then tells Lucia, “I will wait…until that day comes…” before resurfacing. |

Alpha continues her battle on land with Rosetta to clean up the mess she has made. Before she can deal the final blow, Evan stands in between them. The corrupted Rosetta tries to stab Evan only to be slashed by Alpha first, protecting both Evan and leaving her core intact. Derek then emits a signal, which helps recover Rosetta’s consciousness. In the aftermath of the battle, the Babylonian forces led by Bianca arrive to help clean up and to propose an alliance with the ARU.

EX00 Frozen Darkness
Main Story
Alpha stands in the middle of the ocean, on top of a mechanical narwhal. Roland informs her that she has entered the Arctic Route Union and will soon arrive at a port called New Murmansk. When Alpha asks Roland to scan beneath the ocean, he finds a huge number of submerged Corrupted. She realizes that the narwhal is trying to warn the humans about this impending disaster.
The Gray Ravens head towards a monastery where the Ascendants were last sighted. While they are on the transport spacecraft, they are attacked by a barrage of missiles from a warship infected by the Punishing Virus. They manage to make a narrow escape when a lance comes flying out of nowhere, destroying the missiles.
The Gray Ravens become surrounded by the Corrupted soon after they land in ARU territory. They are saved by the Forest Guards, a group of humanoid-hybrid Constructs. The Forest Guards are initially wary of the Gray Ravens due to their being outsiders, but their leader, Rosetta, invites the Gray Ravens to their camp for the night. It turns out that Rosetta is also the one who saved them in space earlier.
Their brief respite at the Forest Guards’ camp does not last long. Diana, one of the Forest Guards, detects the Corrupted chasing a boy named Evan.
Meanwhile, Rosetta communicates with Derek, the mechanical narwhal, and reveals that she is considering simply letting the town suffer the impending Corrupted attack as retribution for their harsh treatment of the Forest Guards. Derek, however, disagrees with her.
The Gray Ravens help defeat the Corrputed to save Evan. Evan meets up with Rosetta and tells her that Derek is headed to the port and that the townspeople are getting agitated with the narwhal trashing their ports and the increasing amount of Corrupted activity.
The party is met with hostility upon arriving in New Murmansk. The townspeople deem Rosetta and the Forest Guards criminals and blame them for not doing enough to protect New Murmansk. Before the Gray Ravens can interrupt, Derek emerges from the ocean.
At the same time, Alpha attempts to control Derek, but Rosetta’s attack interrupts her. Derek seizes this opportunity to dive back beneath the ocean. Alpha and Rosetta begin to clash; Alpha realizes that she and Rosetta share the same animosity against humanity and tries to win over Rosetta to her side. Her attempt is interrupted when a townperson attacks Alpha. Displeased, Alpha corrupts the townsperson, who is fortunately saved by Liv injecting them with Anti-Punishing Serum.
As she watches Alpha and Rosetta duel each other, Lucia tells the Commandant that she wants to fight Alpha one more time. Her request is granted by Babylonia, and she is provided with a new frame: Dawn.
Rosetta warns the townspeople about the approaching tide of the Corrupted, only to be met with rejection. Alpha then promises Rosetta that she will guarantee the Narwhal’s safety if she helps eliminate those who get in her way and lets her tame the Narwhal. Rosetta takes Alpha up on her offer and attacks Lucia.
When the massive horde of the Corrupted finally reaches the port, the entire area plunges into chaos. The Forest Guards, led by Diana, arrive to help ward off the Corrupted. She tells the townspeople to never forget their help. Liv moves to assist the Forest Guards. Lee attempts to hold off Rosetta but is quickly overwhelmed.
After a while, Rosetta’s corruption levels rise as her M.I.N.D. nears its limit. Alpha then tries to make Rosetta an Ascendant since she meets the qualifications to become one. Lucia, in her new Dawn frame, interrupts Alpha. Alpha tells Lucia that it is her last chance to save Rosetta, and she proceeds to defeat her with ease.
While Lucia is immobilized, Alpha tries one last time to tame the narwhal. She reluctantly stops when she sees corrupted Rosetta attacking Lucia, as Alpha does not want to have Lucia perish yet. Alpha saves Lucia from Rosetta’s spear by dragging her into the water. She then tells Lucia, “I will wait… until that day comes…” before resurfacing.
Now that Rosetta cannot be turned into an Ascendant, Alpha continues the fight with the intention of finishing her off. Before Alpha can deal the final blow, Evan stands in between them. The corrupted Rosetta tries to stab Evan, only to be slashed by Alpha first. This ends up saving Evan at the same time as leaving Rosetta’s core intact. Derek then emits a signal that restores Rosetta’s consciousness to save her, completely foiling Alpha’s plans.
In the aftermath of the battle, Bianca leads the Babylonian forces to help clean up and to propose an alliance with the ARU. Rosetta is taken away for repairs under Babylonia’s watch while the townspeople begin to reconsider their prejudice against the Forest Guards.
Despite having failed at her main objective, Alpha accepts the outcome and quietly leaves.
