Shinra und Arthur stehen vor einer Ausbildung und einem tückischen infernalischen Angriff im Iriya-Viertel.

Shinra is told about the upcoming Rookie Fire Soldier Games and how he and the new recruit, Arthur Boyle, will represent Special Fire Force Company 8. Lieutenant Hinawa orders Maki to test their abilities before the games, and she easily defeats them because of their overconfidence as third-generation pyrokinetics. Suddenly, the company receives an emergency call of an Infernal in a detached house in the Iriya District. When they arrive, Arthur and Shinra both draw their weapons in public against the Captain's orders, an act he says can distress the next of kin. The team enter the house and Arthur easily dispatches the Infernal, but it is a trap, and a mysterious character causes the house to burst into flames and collapse. The Captain consoles Mikako, the young girl whose parents have both become Infernals, causing Arthur and Shinra learn more about the responsibilities of being in the Special Fire Force.

Shinra steht im Rookie-Feuerwehrsoldaten-Wettbewerb Joker gegenüber, der offenbart, dass Sho am Leben ist

At the Rookie Fire Soldier games, Shinra recognizes Leonard Burns, who denies recalling the fire which destroyed Shinra's home and family twelve years ago. The games involve entering a booby-trapped building and reaching a crewman posing as an Infernal. Shinra uses his ability to fly to the top, where he encounters a mysterious man who promises to reveal information about the fire twelve years ago. He releases ash from a vial which causes a series of mini- explosions to defeat Shinra, then reveals that Shinra's younger brother Sho is still alive, and asks Shinra to join him. When Arthur and Tamaki arrive, the man calls himself Joker, and he makes a last offer for Shinra to join him and learn the truth about the Fire Force. Later, Shinra asks his Captain about the Fire Force, and Akitaru responds that the force could not operate without Hajima. He explains that the different Fire Force companies operate independently and do not share information about human combustion, and Company 8 was formed to investigate companies 1 through 7.

Company 8 untersucht die höllische Asche und konfrontiert die selbstbewusste Miyamoto

At Company 8, an analysis of Joker's exploding ashes reveals that they are Infernal Ashes, made from the remains of dead Infernals. Maki sends Shinra and Arthur to rescue a dog in a tree, and they find that it is one of their mascots, Mamoru, who was "Hoorayed" by local youths. He says that since the fire fighter Setsuo Miyamoto killed four people on a spree, fire fighters have been unpopular with the citizenry. Later that day, after Miyamoto is found not guilty at his court case, he bursts into flames and becomes an Infernal. He goes on a rampage and Company 8 is called into action. Shinra and Arthur rush on ahead and arrive at the courthouse first. They confront Miyamoto and discover that the Infernal is self-aware and scheming, instead of the usual situation of mindlessly running amok. When he escapes, Shinra is sent in pursuit. Meanwhile, Princess Hibana and Company 5 have been observing the events and decide to capture the Infernal for their own purposes. Company 8 arrives, but this results in a tense stand-off over jurisdiction. Hibana promises to share the results of their research of the Infernal, and Captain Obi reluctantly allows Hibana to leave with him, although he mistrusts their motives. (Source: Wikipedia)

Shinra fordert die Company 5 heraus, Iris aus dem Fallstrick von Prinzessin Hibana zu retten.

Shinra finds Iris praying in the chapel, but she denies anything is troubling her. During training Captain Obi warns the rookies about the second generation cases who cannot start fires but can control them, which also makes them formidable opponents, especially as he proposes that Company 8 will be using force to get information about Infernals from Princess Hibana and Company 5. Meanwhile Iris visits Princess Hibana to reduce tensions between the companies, but Hibana plans to use her as bait to attract Company 8. Shinra arrives and issues a challenge to rescue Iris, followed shortly by Lieutenant Takehisa, Maki and Arthur. They subdue most of Company 5, but then face Toru Kishiri's highly explosive Backdraft Bubblish Gum. Takehisa hits him with multiple ricocheting bullets, and Takehisa and Maki are confronted by the Angels Three while Arthur faces Conehead accompanied by the captured Infernal, which has been chemically enhanced. Company 8 slowly gains the upper hand while Shinra gains entry and prepares to rescue Iris from Princess Hibana. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hibana erinnert sich an ihre Waisenhausvergangenheit, während sie mit Shinra unter Einsatz von Feuerkräften kämpft und Iris verspricht, Flammenblumen zu erschaffen.

Hibana reminds Iris of the time when the nuns and children at their orphanage were engulfed in flames and Hibana's third-generation powers manifested themselves. Shinra attacks her, but Hibana uses her heat syncope power to lower his blood pressure, incapacitating him. By strength of will alone Shinra stands, but he is still light-headed and no match for Hibana's abilities, and she creates a flaming sakura whose falling petals burn him and then engulf him in flames. However, Shinra still resists and attacks her again, knocking her unconscious. Lying on the floor, Hibana's mind drifts back to her time at the orphanage and how she eventually collaborated with Haijma Industries to become a captain and enable her to pursue her experiments with controlling fire. Hibana regains consciousness, and Shinra offers to protect her but she declines, although she says she will no longer oppose him. She also fulfills her promise to Iris to create flowers from flames and creates an array of colorful irises. (Source: Wikipedia)

Later, Captain Obi confers with Hibana who confirms that someone is creating Infernals around the Shinjuku District which comes under the jurisdiction of Company 1, and they agree to cooperate in investigating them. Obi uses the rookie training reassignment system to embed Shinra and Arthur with Maki Oze and Takeru Noto from Company 2 in Company 1. When they arrive, Shinra asks for a sparring match to which Burns agrees. Firstly, Takeru Noto competes against Rekka, and during the bout, Karim extinguishes stray fireballs with his ability to create ice from sound. Lieutenants Li and Karim withdraw from the contest and Burns takes on Shinra and Arthur himself. Burns easily defeats Arthur and deflects Shinra's strongest attacks, and following their defeat they are placed under the care of Lieutanant Karim. (Source: Wikipedia)

Shinra and Arthur search Karim's room and find an insect in a glass vial, but Karim claims that he is also investigating which indicates that Rekka is the culprit. Meanwhile, Rekka gets Tamaki to gather some children, promising to protect them from becoming Infernals. Under the pretext of hugging her, he renders her unconscious and turns the children's carer into an Infernal with an insect then slays her. Tamaki awakens and Rekka says that he is creating Infernals for the Evangelist, searching for the one who will become the "pilot light". He infects a child who bursts into fire, but the boy manages to extinguish the flames himself and Rekka declares that he is compatible.

Rekka says he is working for the Evangelist whose mission is to engulf the Earth in flame and turn it into a second sun. Rekka begins to create an inferno with his flaming arms but his flames are shut down by Flam Karim who arrives and seals him in ice. Suddenly, two white-cloaked figures kills Rekka from some distance away to silence him. The assassin then fires at Karim and Huo Yan Li, and Li loses part of his arm protecting Karim.
