Now...

A miracle is about to occur on this planet.

After her fierce battle with the Raaja at the nuclear power plant, Chris decides that Juna is impure and needs to go through some survival training.

So a SEED helicopter drops her in the middle of the Japanese Alps and leaves her to fend for herself.

After surviving this latest ordeal, she and the ever-present Tokio return to the city.

However, Tokio suddenly falls ill.

It seems that his immune system has been weakened by the food he likes to eat.

But then, why does Juna become ill as well? The pressure starts to mount, and their differing views and the changes in Juna only increase the tension between Juna and Tokio.

And, just when things seem at their darkest, Chris becomes seriously ill, and a desperate Cindy is determined to get Juna to save him, no matter who pays the price.
