Hideyuki Shiranami, a manager of Vol City's Immigration Bureau, brings Tatsuya Shimada and his wife Nami to a manor in Dream Garden Hills after they are accepted by the city. However, Shiranami lures the couple to the basement where they are devoured by the Horrors lurking there. The next day, Takeru is called by Rian to investigate the Immigration Bureau as he meets Rui Suzaki as her family is waiting for the result of their interview of being accepted into Vol City. When Shiranami appears to inform them that they were approved, Takeru finds his Mad? Fire on the man ineffective as he is forced to escape when Rian pulled the fire alarm. As Rian reports to Burai of the turn of events and that they are dealing with a Mad? Horror, Takeru meets with Rui to convince her to get her family to leave the city. But she refuses to listen and warns him to stay away from her. The next day, the Suzuki Family are brought to Dream Garden Hills where Takeru and Ryuga make a final attempt to stop them from entering. Once Rui and her family are brought in, Takeru and Ryuga find themselves unable to enter due to a barrier erected around the manor. As the Suzaki family are being taken to the basement, Aguri arrives to break the barrier as the Makai Knights save the family in time. As Rian gets the Suzuki family to safety, while aiding Aguri in killing any that flee the manor, Takeru becomes Zen the Flaming Sword Knight to kill the Horror minions. Fighting Shiranami as he assumes his Horror form, with Zen aiding him, Garo kills the Mad? Horror as his armor turn gold again upon the monster's death. Soon after, Rian wipes out the Suzuki family's memories of the events and Takeru has them leave on the impression that they were denied a place in Vol City. However, just as they were at the city limits, the Suzuki family encounter a mysterious man who explains their rejection was a mistake. Finding the Suzuki family's truck the next day, Takeru is devastated that the family were taken by the Horrors. Luckily, as Takeru's hair ornament restored her memory of the events, Rui escaped her family's fate though unconscious by the time Burai found her. As Takeru is relieved that Rui is alright, Burai sees this turn of events as proof that someone is behind the Horror activity in Vol City.
