V-14 Engages the 10th Division
As morning rises on the V-14's Beta Team HQ, a disgruntled Hyōryū Fūsoku wakes up to find her recently made boyfriend Anton Semenov gone from the bed. In turn, he has already woken up and is showering off. After a brief morning exchange between the two, they are interrupted by Angelika Hartmann knocking on their room door. Angelika informs them to meet her and the rest of Alpha Team downstairs before making her way down there herself. After the two are fully prepared and reunite with the rest of V-14, Angelika explains that a new V-14 four-man team has been created and is in the process of finding their own HQ. She also warns them that there has been increased 10th Division activity within the Rukongai District due to their interference in a Gotei 13 mission to destroy an Ahijados-held HQ. Just then, Angelika is called by the V-14 supplier Enricho and alerted that Captain Shindō Takuji and several 10th Division members have surrounded Beta Team's HQ. While the V-14 members gear up to engage the V-14 members, Shindō gives them a warning to surrender peacefully. The warning is not heeded, and Hyōryū fires a starting shot that wipes out a great deal of the 10th Division's numbers.

While Angelika and Oliver Holmes fire on the 10th Division members from a safe distance, Anton jumps into their ranks for close-quarters fighting. Shindō, enraged by their resistance and killing of his men, singles Anton out and confronts him in a duel. During the duel, Angelika informs Enricho of the majority of resistance being dealt with. But in return, she is informed of something approaching her position. Shortly afterwards, she and Oliver are ambushed by Shindō's Lieutenant Sakura Keikai. In their brief scuffle, Sakura immobilizes Oliver and nearly strikes down Angelika before intercepted and pushed back by Shadō Karuido. Shadō informs them that the 10th Division members are retreating, but warns them off possible inconsistency with the situation. Meanwhile, Anton's jeers at Shindō provoke him into using Sandā Gakudan, a series of lightning strikes from the sky. Although Anton evades them at first, his mind turns concern over his comrades. This lowers his guard and slows him down for a lightning bolt to strike him down, much to Hyōryū's horror.

While Shadō retreats due to detecting another enemy nearby, a weakened Anton unleashes a desperate series of Kidō spells as a means to trap his opponent. While Shindō dismisses them all, Hyōryū uses the distraction to open fire on him. In response, Shindō protects himself with the Kidō Bunkō-shin and nullifies the destructive projectile. As he turns his attention to a shocked Hyōryū, Anton stands in front of her in preparation to continue their fight. Although disinterested due to Anton's weakened state, Shindō obliges to kill the two of them. But before he can do so, he receives an alert from an unknown source. Due to that alert, Shindō and the remaining 10th Division soldiers retreat from the area.

Confrontation with Yashin
As V-14 are recovering from the assault, a distress call by Shadō is made to Angelika informing them that Yashin is heading towards their position. They attempt to head towards a secondary safe point, but are intercepted by both Yashin and Shadō, the latter of whom being pushed back by the former. Yashin proceeds to lecture them on their decision to refuse killing Kenja Kodai before Shadō attacks him again. Yashin effortlessly incapacitates Shadō, however, prompting Oliver and Hyōryū to open fire on him. Although they appear to take him down, what they are shooting at is revealed to be nothing more than an illusion. As the real Yashin prepares to finish them off from behind, Sakura intercepts him in a surprise move to protect the weakened V-14 members. She then challenges him to a fight, but is quickly incapacitated and knocked unconscious.

Yashin then detects the presence of Shinji Konno, who then proceeds to attack him in his own duel. Shortly afterwards, Asuka Sakamoto enters the battle and joins Shinji in the fight. However, her unique fighting style attracts Yashin's attention, and he chooses to focus his attention solely on her. As they fight, Shinji uses the time to call in his other two teammates Yusuke Saruwatari and Rika Nakamura in order to assist his fallen colleagues. Meanwhile in the duel between Asuka and Yashin, Asuka seems to hold the upper hand against her foe. However, Yashin soon turns the tables on her and traps her within her own subconscious. With no way to escape, Asuka is forced to submit. But just before he can proceed to mentally torture her, Kenja makes a surprise appearance and saves her as he attacks Yashin. Yusuke and Rika follow shortly afterwards, and upon seeing his actions drawing a crowd, Yashin pulls out from the area.
