Twelve hours earlier, a Makai Knight in a black long coat named Ryuga Dougai arrived to the seemingly peaceful Vol City on orders from higher up. After sneaking past security, Ryuga heads to the park and enjoys the sights before meeting a girl who gave him a hankerchef. Later, Ryuga sees a bride and identifies her as a Horror. Following her to a building in the Karishi district where is to be fitted in her dress, Ryuga confronts the bride as she is forced to run. Despite the bride's attempt to use her wedding reception to protect her, Ryuga forces her out the window and dons the Garo armor to kill her before his feet touch the ground. However, while leaving the Karishi district, Ryuga finds himself surrounded by the city's paramilitary force: the SG1. After eventually escaping the SG1 and its commander Enhou, Ryuga takes a rest and is astonished to find incident not mentioned in the local media. Pondering the reason for the media black out, Ryuga finds himself attacked by the bride's bouquet, the Horror's main form. However, Ryuga is saved when Makai Priest Burai, a man from his past, arrives and has the Horror devoured by his Makai Beast Rag?. As he meets fellow Makai Knights Aguri Kusugami and Takeru Jakuzure, Ryuga learns that Burai is the one who request his presence in Vol City and turns down the Makai Priest's offer to aid him and his group.
