The story starts off with a 40-minute recap of what happened on the TV anime, with Sachika Misawa (voice of Kuroyukihime) narrating the recap.

Then, the original story begins by showing a new character in what appears to be a gymnasium. She had an accident that caused her to be hospitalized. The scene shifted off to a territory battle between Nega Nebulus and Great Wall, where Sky Raker and Ardor Maiden were fighting against two Burst Linkers. Meanwhile, Scarlet Rain and Blood Leopard were also battling against multiple Linkers.

The scene shifted again to a battle between Silver Crow and Ash Roller. Black Lotus and Green Grandee appeared as each Legion's leader. But, before they could even battle, a huge storm appeared and destroyed the battlefield and immediately disconnected all the Linkers from the Accelerated World. Back in the Real World, Shinomiya informed everyone that the Brain Burst Application didn't work as the icon was grayed out, rendering every Linker unable to Burst Link.
