What appeared to be an ordinary [[Serial Killer]] case that Enforcer Teana was investigating turns out to be something more sinister as ancient texts that speak of the [[Night of the Living Mooks|undead]] [[Super Soldier]] army of Mariage led by the Dark King Ixpellia are uncovered together with the identity of a terrorist named Toredia who plans to use them. With the threat of a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] looming over the horizon, Subaru and friends must battle the Mariage, and locate both Ixpellia and the mastermind behind this latest terrorist attack before it's too late.
