Story

Invasion of Pantheon

After Magnus sent his Specter army to invade Pantheon, the Nova managed to repel the enemy forces with the help of Kaiser and Angelic Buster. After the battle was over, Kaiser realized that the Protective Shield was a powerful weapon against the Specters and formulated a plan to lure the entire Specter army inside the borders, where they would then reactivate the Protective Shield and wipe out all of Magnus' forces at once. After the plan was approved, Cartalion told Kaiser that Piston would take the Magic Amplifier and drop it near the enemy's summoning ritual square in order to bait them into using the Amplifier to power their summoning ritual, which would bring the entire army to Pantheon, at which point they would reactivate the Protective Shield and wipe them all out at once. Together, the Nova army successfully decimated the Specters, allowing them to gain a strong advantage over Magnus and his forces.

Siege of Heliseum

Having increased their strength since repelling Magnus' invasion of Pantheon, the Nova began their operation to retake Heliseum. With Edea appointed as the Supreme Commander of the Nova army and Piston as her second-in-command, their forces were able to push into Heliseum and establish the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Soon after, HQ was attacked by a swarm of Specters, with Edea and Piston rushing in to rescue the soldiers cut off from the others. In order to reinforce them, Tiron sent the Ace of the Alliance who had been dispatched to assist the Nova to HQ, where they encountered Edea and Piston holding the line. Edea recognized the Alliance member as the reinforcements from Maple World and asked them to help defeat the Specters. After retaking HQ, Edea thanked the Alliance member for their help and noted that their battle prowess was incredible, especially after hearing that the Alliance had sent only its most elite soldiers. Edea and Piston then introduced themselves before explaining the situation at HQ. Edea explained that the Specters had been attacking quite frequently, though the most recent attack had caught them off-guard with the sheer size and scale of the surprise operation, which made her believe that it was due to a lack of intel on their part. As HQ was lacking in many other things, Edea explained that their first priority was to reestablish their operations before continuing the fight. Piston told the Alliance member that the Specter Battle Hounds had played a major role in sniffing out HQ, for which he asked them to defeat the monsters. After defeating the Specter Battle Hounds, the Alliance member returned to Piston, who told them that their efforts had helped free the supply lines. However, in order to open them up further, he asked them to defeat the Specter Shieldbearers in the Forest of Choices.

Soon after, the Alliance member agreed to spar with the Nova soldiers in order to help them grow stronger. Piston led them to the training field, where he introduced them to the soldiers and explained that they were a warrior from another world who had come to help them. He then asked the Alliance member to demonstrate their skills by sparring with the soldiers. After the sparring session, Edea thanked the Alliance member for their help, noting that it would go a long way in making the soldiers ready to retake Heliseum. Soon after, Edea told the Alliance member that many of the soldiers had unexpectedly asked to spar with them again, as they had been invigorated by the Alliance member's skills and passion. The Alliance member agreed to another round, and so Piston brought them to the training field once again. Soon after, the Nova completed the Blue Dragon Cannon and prepared to use it to drive back the remainder of the enemies. With Piston's guidance, the Alliance member continued driving the Specter army into the valley near the outskirts of Heliseum, where Edea unleashed a massive wave of lightning to destroy them all at once. With Magnus's forces in shambles, the Nova were able to push forward and establish a new base camp in Downtown Heliseum.

Edea and Piston then told the Alliance member that before they could push forward to retake Tyrant's Castle, they would first need to properly set up their new base in the black-market district. After the Alliance member defeated the surrounding Specters, as well as two Guardians of Heliseum - Treglow and Victor - the third Guardian of Heliseum, Velderoth, launched a surprise attack, seriously wounding Piston. At the infirmary, Edea and the Alliance member met with Piston, who explained that Velderoth had attacked them, and that he had become a new Guardian of Heliseum, replacing Edea. Nevertheless, the Alliance member managed to defeat both Velderoth and Magnus, securing Heliseum for the Nova. Despite their victory, however, Piston remained injured, for which the Heliseum Council proposed making Kaiser the new Knight Captain. However, Kaiser refused the position, claiming that he needed to continue training and traveling the world in order to grow strong enough to face Gerand Darmoor. Edea was impressed by Kaiser's maturity and told him that she would convey his message to the Council.
