Joined by pilots and their dragons from other military bases, Hisone participates in a joint training exercise held at the Gifu Air Base.

Sent to a remote island for a field training exercise, the dragon pilots are given a week to escape back to Gifu Air Base using any method they can.

While Hisone, Liliko and Mayumi await their scheduled extraction from the remote island, El is determined to leave before their time is up.

As Iiboshi reveals the true mission behind the dragon pilot program, a former pilot from long ago appears before the Gifu Air Base flight crew.

A ceremony is held to select which shrine maiden will lead the ritual. Zaito is ordered to make a difficult decision for the sake of El's career.
