A named Valkyrie shouldering a tragic history is reassigned to a base in Japan; if anyone can break her curse, it's the quirky people of the strange base.

As Claudia gets comfortable and meets the crew, a Pillar's arrival forces the base to scramble. Unfortunately, there is no way to reach it without some stunt flying.

The Valkyries revisit Umihotaru to check on the battle's aftermath; however, the damage done is much closer to home.

The Valkyries solicit the help of scantily-clad men to sneak them back to base when a Pillar comes between them and their planes.

A new Valkyrie, known to have a history with Sonoka, comes to town. The news of a counteroffensive with the hopes to liberate Japan soon follows.

Just as Yayoi sheds light on her quandary, the world's best descend upon Mount Fuji. Even though a battle soon picks up, nobody is prepared for what happens.
