With the war against the Neuroi in Europe drawing to a close, the 501st Joint Fighter Wing and maybe a few other squadrons now have to tackle some very deep crises as they charge off to free Fuso and the Pacific from a few last remaining Neuroi Hives causing calamity if the world is ever going to know a time of peace away from the Neuroi. From Barkhorn having a heartrending stand-off with a psychotic Liberion gunnery sergeant and Hartmann forced to hunt an idol of hers gone astray, to Eila managing to rescue Sanya's parents and some experimental rocket Striker Units tested by Shirley, Lynne and Perrine; our witches must board a cross-Orussian train to take the fight back to Yoshika, Shizuka and Major Sakamoto's home empire of Fuso for a final battle.
