Fifty years later, sixteen-year-old Haru Glory lives on the peaceful Garage Island with his older sister, Cattleya.

Seeking power to defeat Demon Card, Haru and Plue set off on a journey to find the missing Rave stones.

Upon arriving at the mainland, Haru gradually amasses a group of friends and allies, including an amnesiac girl named Elie, who harbors a magical energy known as Etherion within her body.

While facing Demon Card, Haru's group learns of a mythical creature known as Endless, which threatens mankind by provoking another Overdrive, and can only be destroyed with Etherion.

Using all Sinclaires, Lucia absorbs Endless with the goal of destroying the world, which is actually a parallel dimension created by his ancestor after the original was ruined by a plague, cursing his family as a result.
