200 years in the future, Saki battles an unknown foe in the green Valvrave, and upon defeating him looks at an old pocket watch and speaks of keeping a promise. Back in the present, while Haruto and Saki had planned on keeping the presence of the additional Valvraves a secret to keep others from being dehumanized, Shoko and other students discover them. This prompts Haruto to publicly inform the students of the Valvraves and conditions to becoming a pilot. While negotiating a treaty with ARUS and Dorssia, L-elf orders the students to undergo mandatory conscription into the new JIOR military. With the students showing overwhelming opposition, L-elf activates the traps he secretly placed in order to pressure the students into agreeing. Some time later, Dorssian forces invade Module 77, and A-drei attacks Haruto. Although, L-elf protects Haruto after telling A-drei that he is a critical part of his plan to liberate Dorssia. They are interrupted by Q-vier, under orders to capture Haruto, but instead uses his mech in an attempt to kill him while subsequently causing a wave of massive destruction in the hangar, killing Aina in the process and critically wounding Haruto. Meanwhile Saki defends Module 77 from X-eins and H-neun along with other Dorssian forces, but gets cornered by their new magnetic weapons. L-elf allows Haruto to possess his body to pilot the Valvrave and successfully repels the Dorssian forces with L-elf's explicit written instructions. After the battle, L-elf (Haruto) finds a photo of a girl inside L-elf's pocket which causes L-elf's body to reflexively manifest an emotional response.
