Chapter III/3-1

Kiana and her friends arrive at Oceania Branch, New Zealand to retrieve Gem of Desire, one of the three powerful Honkai Cubes. The research program conducted by Schicksal had failed and the gem was kept in Oceania Branch ever since. 
Theresa briefs Himeko about the history of the gem. 14 years ago, the 2nd Herrscher dragged Siberia into an Imaginary Space before the Honkai-fissile missiles ordered by Overseer Otto Apocalypse to destroy the Herrscher exploded. Once in the Imaginary Space, Cecilia sacrificed herself to destroy the core of the 2nd Herrscher which eventually shattered into 4 gems, one of which is Gem of Desire. However, when Otto and his troop were recovering them, Anti-Entropy's advanced mechas and battleships arrived, led by the 1st Herrscher whom their aim was also the 2nd Herrscher. As Schicksal's troops were devastated during the battle, Otto let them recover along with the corpse as well as the core, deceiving them to think that the core was whole as they didn't know that it had already fractured into 4 pieces.
Theresa also briefs Kiana about the battleship during the first story mission, mentioning that the battleship is so powerful that the power of 4 Herrschers are required to power them. Kiana recalls the Void's voice mentioning about 4 keys.
During the mission, they find the gem which surprisingly, was contained within a girl on a wheelchair named Wendy. Himeko chips in to explain that the gem has been inserted into her calf 3 years ago by Schicksal, thus allowing her to use the Herrscher power. The gem itself is unstable but Wendy manages to control it for now, but lost function of her leg in the process. Kiana and her friends proceed to try to take Wendy to Hyperion.
