Sometimes, Haru feels like he doesn't have a purpose. Sometimes, he feels like he'll never leave the island he lives on, the island of Garage. But, when fate comes a knockin', he answers the cry. There's this evil called Dark Bring, it's wielded by Demon Card. They're using this power to take over the world. Only one thing can stop it - the four missing rave stones. And now, Haru will find them wherever they lie. He doesn't ever want to feel that he's let his people down. He'll journey all around the world, all the way to Hip Hop Town. Yeah! The all-powerful Dark Stone - a magical stone and ruler of the dark side - awakens after a 50-year respite. When it falls into the hands of the evil Demon Card, the world is in terrible danger. A sacred sword called Rave and its master Shiba are the only defense against the Dark Stone & No. 30196; evil powers. Yet, Shiba loses control over Rave after he is mortally attacked by a Demon Card assassin. With the dark side looming, a boy called Haru may be the world's single hope of revitalizing Rave and escaping the clutches of evil.
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. And once all the Rave Stones are brought together, everyone's answers will be answered. The team takes an airship to Symphonia Kingdom. While stopping by a fancy casino/resort, the guests are knocked out and Plue is snatched away from our heroes. After a tussle between some goofy thieves, Plue is saved and the team dives into the depths of a Death Storm.
