The RAVE master Haru's journey has only just begun when his faithful companion Plue is dognapped. After searching high and low he finds Plue at the dog races and discovers the first of many allies in a girl names Elie.
Musica the blacksmith forged two legendary swords long ago. One is the Ten Powers, the transforming sword of the Rave Master. The other is the Beast Sword, a blade which creates illusions when it is swung. After being apart for a generation, the swords are about to have a bloody reunion. Haru Glory, the Rave Master, now wields the Ten Powers, and he'll need it to rescue his friend Elie from Demon Card. She's being held hostage by Lance, the Beast Swordsman, who has a little surprise in store for young Haru - through the power of Dark Bring, source of all evil, his Beast Sword's illusions can now become real! But Haru has a secret weapon of his own - the power of Rave!
Things haven't been too easy for the new Rave Master, Haru Glory, since leaving his home to search for the missing Rave stones. He and his companions, Elie and Plue, have been forced into one battle after another as they flee from the sinister forces of Demon Card. Now they're off for Tremolo Mountain, where a shooting star is said to have fallen 50 years ago. Could it actually be a Rave Stone? Shuda, the Demon Card general, seems to think so; he's already got a team searching for it. To find the stone, Haru and Elie must go undercover into the Enemy's Mine. Hiding from the Demon Card minions is tough enough, but when Haru learns a ruthless assassin is already on his trail, he must prepare for the battle of his life.
Rave Master Haru Glory and his friends emerged from Tremolo Mountain with the Rave of knowledge, thanks to a little help from Deerhound, the Rave Stone's keeper. He was also rewarded with a new form for his Ten Powers Sword, Silfarion, which allows him to move at the speed of sound. He's going to need it. While Elie and Musica battle two of Shuda's minions - Rugass 70, a cyborg built by Demon Card, and Poosya, whose piece of Dark Bring lets him shoot goo from his head - Haru and must board Shuda's flying fortress for a final showdown with the Demon Card General himself.
Haru and Elie came to Experiment City looking for clues that would lead them to the missing Rave Stones. What they found was much more shocking - the key to Elie's past!

The fate of the entire time continuum is at stake in this shocking volume of "Rave Master!"

Haru's journey has led him to Gen Tower, home of the Demonoid horde. To stop the demonoid attacks, and find out the truth about Gale, Haru and his friends must brave this monolith of evil and battle the Five Palace Guardians. But, at the end of their journey waits King, the Demon Card leader, whose "Apocalypse" Dark Bring is capable of bringing about another Overdrive.
The beginning of the volume revolves around Shiba's flashback of his past, and his encounters with Resha Valentine in the Symphonia Kingdom. After seeing her dancing at night, he becomes convinced that she must be freed from her duties to the kingdom. However, he is thwarted by both the four Souten Soldiers as well as Resha when she tells him that she accepts what she must do. Resha dies after overexertting herself, but Shiba vows to protect the world (which he once turned his back on) for her. At the end of the flashback, we learn the 'Rave' stone originally got their name from this girl: Resha Valentin. Back in present day setting, Haru and friends have their sights set on the "Hoshi no Kioku", whether that is a place or thing, no one knows.

Once Haru and the others get out of the Death Storm, they find themselves in the middle of a vast desert. Elie collapses suddenly (from the heat?) and Plue uses his abilities to reveal the location of the remaining Rave pieces splayed out of a map of the world. Just then, a mysterious blonde-haired man shows up, claiming to be a Dark Bring Master. Instead of a fight, he simply kisses Elie before disappearing again and being replaced by the Demon Card team. Frustrated with only being protected all the time, Elie vows to fight along side everyone just as hard! There's a tragic sequence where Ret is attacked and finally reveals his true human form. Mixed with flashbacks, it is explained how his love, Julia, was "killed" by the Demon Card team, but she is now in the form of a dragon which he must attack or die! Sadly, Let is defeated and sealed into a tree, which burst from his hand via magic.
