Yuri and Kei bust thieves attempting to sell stolen Vizorium, a rare metal that is used in warp cores.

Undaunted, the pair move to find out the cause of a dispute between the cities of Edia (the miners of Vizorium) and Uldas (creators of the mining technologies). It seems that monsters have begun to attack facilities and no one knows for sure who's behind the attacks.
