In order to rescue Ōbi, who has been captured by the Imperial Army, the 8th Special Fire Brigade springs into action. However, for helping Shinra who possesses the Adolla Burst escape, they are branded as traitors rebelling against the Empire and become fugitives. Just then, Joker appears before them...!?
Summary
Captain Obi is arrested by the Imperial Army and Company 8 are declared outlaws. Shinra has a vision via an Adolla Link in which Captain Burns reveals that Obi will be implanted with a 'Mushi' (蟲, bug), an insect that originates from Adolla which can cause spontaneous combustion in humans. Viktor Licht takes Company 8 to meet Joker, an experienced outlaw who will teach them to "walk in the darkness" and leads them to his underground hideout. Joker reveals that Obi is being held in the high security Fuchu Penitentiary and takes Shinra with him to rescue their Captain. Meanwhile in Fuchu, White-Clad member Gold prepares to expose Obi to an Adolla bug.
