Hague reveals that he has seen the nether world through what Shinra calls the Adolla Link and wants to return, whether it is Heaven or Hell. From afar, White Clad Haumea comments to Charon that the woman known as the First Pillar continues to tempt Shinra to use his Adolla Burst. Shinra loses control, and Hague realizes the situation so he forces Shinra outside where Arthur appears and intercedes to prevent Shinra using his full power. Arthur even uses Hague's body with its Shield of Masochism to protect himself from Shinra's attacks. During the battle, Arthur recalls living with his mother and delusional father who dreamed of something greater than their poor existence and abandoned him, leaving only their blessing.

Meanwhile, school student Inca Kasugatan uses her uncanny ability of smell to detect the faint odour of a house that is about to burst into flames. She gathers her accomplices, Panda and Sancho, and they head to the location, preparing to burgle the property once it catches alight. She saves the aged resident, but not before relieving him of all his money. Later, the First Pillar appears to Inca, piquing her interest. Suddenly, houses within in the area start bursting into flames, and Inca gleefully predicts their location like a musical conductor. As Company 8 races to the scene, Obi mentions the existence of the Fire Thief schoolgirl whom he suspects may be the Fifth Pillar. The company arrives and splits up to tackle the Infernals who are creating the fires. Shinra is assigned to find the Fire Thief and Arthur to stop the plasma-user.

| Company 8 dispatches an increasing number of Infernals which Obi suspects are being created by Infernal Bugs. Shinra momentarily stops Charon and tries to convince Inca to join the Fire Force, but she refuses and runs off, seeking instead relief from her mundane existence. Meanwhile, a demon Infernal appears in addition to the large number of people infected by the Infernal Bugs, overwhelming the Fire Force. However, Obi had earlier called for assistance, and Lieutenant Karim, Toru Kishiri and Juggernaut arrive to immobilize the Infernals and combat the White Clad. Companies 2 and 5 then arrive and assist Company 8 to dispatch the remaining Infernals and evacuate the citizens. On a rooftop, Arthur attacks Haumea who has been coordinating the attack on the town. Shinra goes after Inca who has been captured by the White Clad, but she refuses to join either group. As the White Clad take Inca away, Shinra again engages Charon, but his attacks appear to have little effect.

| While fighting Charon, Shinra recalls that Flam Karim said that second generation pyrokinetics cannot create fire but can control it. He suspects that Charon is one of those and tries using the Corona technique again, but the knowledge is of little use against the experienced Charon. Shinra finally manages to focus his attack and succeeds in downing Charon but not defeating him. Charon prepares to retaliate. The Fire force has its hands full with the demon and the burning buildings. Licht suggests utilizing the power of the second generations to channel the flames into the town square where they are controlled by Maki and turned into a spiralling firestorm. Vulcan and Obi force the demon into the center of the firestorm where it is sucked into its vortex and consumed. Karim then freezes the column solid, extinguishing the flames. | ||||||
