Many parts of Duomo are being attacked by the unknown firepower coming from Ikebukuro. Night falls and Kuniko and Momoko try to find their way in. Although the Metal Age forces are scattered around, they manage to break through the interior wall of the city. However they are shortly thrust into different environments and attacked by mimic armored security drones. Kuniko realizes that all the environments seen by the Metal Age forces are holographs. She orders the rest of the Metal Age forces to rendezvous at City Hall. As Kuniko and Momoko make their way through a holograph depicting the old landmarks of Tokyo, they discuss the history of the Atlas Project. Atlas was created using funds donated by Sergei Talsian, after Japan experiences the Second Great Kanto earthquake that destroyed Tokyo. Karin continues to play the market even though Zhang warns her about Medusa's self-individuality. Talsian and Ryoko are waiting for Atlas' completion for the Sun, Moon and Land digmas to fulfil their destinies. Meanwhile, an imprisoned Sayoko wakes up to find her cell door ripped open and she escapes. Numerous squads of Metal Age are killed by the illusions of the holograph. Kuniko causes mayhem throughout the landscape, eventually crossing paths with Kunihito once again, who has just arrived at the scene. However before they can argue further, they are separated once again. Kuniko moves through a path and eventually reaches the Diet. Metal Age forces are poisoned by gases emitted from the artillery strike that hit Atlas. Kuniko enters the building to hear a woman's voice talking about the creation of Atlas. Through photos shown in the building, Kuniko discovers that her grandmother, Nagiko, was the first CEO of Atlas Corporation.
Kuniko et ses compagnons ont enfin réussi à entrer dans Atlas. Ils comprennent alors que la ville est recouverte d'un blindage mimétique qui lui permet de se métamorphoser perpétuellement. Ainsi, Kuniko et les autres se retrouvent dans le décor du Tokyo d'avant séisme...
上空で、地上で、アトラスとメタルエイジの銃声は鳴り止むことが無かった。
しかしアトラスの猛攻で國子達は散り散りとなる。そしてそれぞれの目の前に、過去の「東京」が浮かび上がる。
それこそがアトラスの用いる最新兵器「擬態装甲」が見せた幻だった。
混乱する國子たちは、池袋方面からアトラスでもないメタルエイジからでもない謎の砲撃に再び襲われる！
En el cielo y en el suelo, los disparos de Atlas y Metal Age nunca se detuvieron. Sin embargo, debido al ataque de Atlas, Kuniko y sus amigos están dispersos. Y frente a cada uno, emerge el pasado "Tokio". Esa era la ilusión de la última "armadura de imitación" de arma utilizada por Atlas. ¡Las confundidas Kuniko son atacadas de nuevo por un misterioso disparo desde la dirección de Ikebukuro, ni desde Atlas ni desde Metal Age!
