The youth of Tatsumiya Island believed that they had ordinary lives ... until the advent of the Festum, extraterrestrial intelligent life forms intent on assimilating all humans. Abruptly, their once peaceful island transforms into a high-tech military fortress to counter-attack the hostile aliens. For only they can pilot the robot known as Fafner.

Nothing has been the same ever since the Festum invaded the island. While the population copes with constant attacks and battle preparations, the leaders of Alvis struggle to move forward under increased political pressure from the Neo UN. Meanwhile, battle fatigue has set in for the young pilots and, while Kazuki is away on a rescue mission, Shoko is pressed into service to pilot the Fafner with devastating results.

After he is taken hostage, Kazuki learns once and for all that he has been partially assimilated with the Festum. During his captivity at the Neo UN base he is reunited with his mother, but all is not as it seems since Festum assimilated Kazuki's real mother when he was just a child. He has precious little time to ponder this mystery as the Neo UN launches a full-scale military takeover of the Tatsumiya island.

Control over Alvis takes center stage and Fumihiko, Commander Barnes and Mizoguchi play a strategic high stakes game of nuclear engagement. Just as the Neo UN begins to withdraw from the island Commander Barnes asserts his authority over all of his subordinates and launches a nuclear missile towards the island.

Meanwhile, Sakura hides a devastating secret as Festum attacks become increasingly strategic and complex.
