The nation's capital, Tokyo, where the Space Elevator Project is proceeding at full tilt, in preparation for the summit. Established to fight crime based around Willwear, enhanced armor, is the Special Public Security Fifth Division Third Mobile Assault Eighth Unit—Unit 8 in short. Having saved Japan from Logos' terrorism, Unit 8 was now become really popular around the country. However, crimes misusing Willwear showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, they kept escalating. Kuroki and the rest of Unit 8 now have new members on their side, and continue to fight evil crimes with their brains, bravery, and the gift of gab—now with the help of civilian police.

One of Sena's favorite directors is believed to be behind the crime, and Sena leaps at the chance to clear the man's name.
