Plot[]
- "Protect the VIP bride."
- ―Zero
The episode begins at a Chapel in the dream world, where Baku both acted as Code Number Seven, and a Priest for Wedding Vow blessing. There, he rehearsed the wedding vow with the Groom and Bride to be - Koki Takarada and Miyuki Asamiya. Baku sincerely congratulates both of them and promises to see them at the wedding, before sensing something was wrong. Outside the Chapel, the Mysterious man appeared again as numerous amount of Black Feathers ominously fallen from the sky. He then exclaimed to the newly formed Crow Nightmare to lead the world into Bad Dream.
Meanwhile, inside the Chapel. Baku meet with Nem again, whom this time worked as a Wedding Planner. Baku reacted with delight upon the revelation, as this time they will work together as a team. Baku then explained to Nem that his mission is to protect the VIP Bride, because Miyuki is the daughter of Foreign Affairs Minister, and Koki's is a heir of a renowned conglomerate. As Baku wondered who has the gall to harm Miyuki, an assailant appeared with a Knife in his hand! As the guests backed down in fear, Baku firstly assumed that this assailant is someone from Minister Asamiya's rival faction. Unexpectedly, Miyuki know this man as her childhood friend, much to Baku's shock. The assailant proclaimed that he'll take Miyuki away, and Baku forcefully had to step in by utilizing his Impact Capsem to augment his strength, before putting him into submission (and disintegrate his knife) by his raw power alone. Baku inquires if the assailant happens to be the Dreamer in this case, but the latter doesn't know anything about this dream.
Baku dream is interrupted as he wokes up in the morning and visited CODE base to report to Zero about the events happening, including the lack of Nightmare appearance and the assailant / suspected Dreamer, whose identity is seemingly the Bride's childhood friend. Zero immediately doubted that this assailant is someone that Baku knows personally, and deduces that the assailant might have been infected ever since the Bomb Nightmare appearance in real life. Zero then proceed to explain to a confused Baku that ever since that incident, the contagion case of Bad Dream has risen significantly, allowing countless to people to possess their own Nightmares. Hearing the unlikely news, Baku is mortified by his premiere failure and doubted himself if he even qualified to be an Agent. Fortunately, Zero proclaimed that Baku had already realizes one of his Good Dreams, and gifted him several Trinkets (christened as Zeztz Gear) which consist of Camera, Sensor & License to further his cause as an Agent. Zero also allowed Baku to use the Capsem Generation Machine once more, and he gained Wing and Stream Capsem as a result. After Zero put the recently obtained Capsems into the Capsem Cylinder, he encourages Baku to put his mind on his dream to become a True, Bonafide Agent.
Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Police Station rooftop, Tsukasa Todo had summoned Tetsuya Fujimi and Nasuka Nagumo to discuss about the Bomber incident. After revealing that no one can find a logical cause for the explosion, Todo reinstated the Paranormal Affairs Division under Unofficial surveillance, effectively granting Tetsuya and Nasuka their own freedom to investigate the Black Cases thoroughly. Todo also challenges Tetsuya to prove to him that Nightmares DO exist as the cause of these Black Cases, which elates the Officer. The scene shifted to Baku and Minami who currently jogging around a park, although predictably, Baku is quick to tires out due to his poor physical condition. While Minami enthusiastically asked her brother about his newfound interest in Physical training, Baku saw an elderly who struggles to took the stairs, and is about to help her. However, before he could even done so, a log fell down in front of him! And to his surprise, the Assailant in Miyuki dream actually helped the Elder Woman, which further causes him to question the nature of Miyuki's case.
Ultimately, Baku discreetly followed the young man at a nearby Bar, where he eavesdrop (and subsequently recorded) the conversation between the young man / The Assailant, Ippei Doi with his friend while dining. The friend advises Ippei to give up on Miyuki, since her fiancé, Koki Takarada is league above him. Ippei initially refuses to give up, as he's unsure whether Miyuki really want to be wedded with Koki. But his friend added that they are at different classes than Miyuki and Koki, even though they are living nearby. After voicing his initial analysis to Zero, The CODE commander immediately created a Mind map about Miyuki and her relations, while praising Baku for his successful intel gathering. As Night falls, Baku quickly goes Lucid Dreaming once more, where he awaken at the same Cathedral. Nem quickly informed him that the Wedding Ceremony is about to start, and both of them visited Miyuki at her waiting room. Nem proceeded to give Miyuki a brief pep talk so that she can confidently proceed to her wedding, and Baku requested Nem that should the ceremony starts to go south, she's to lead the evacuation process, which she complies. Baku then decides to use his Zeztz Sensor as precaution for intruder, unaware that Ippei had waited outside with a grim look on his face...
At last, the wedding ceremony started in the earnest with Miyuki entering the Cathedral. Things seemingly goes without a hitch, only for Crow Nightmare to enter the place. The sensor quickly detects the Intruder, allowing Baku to preemptively stepped forward to begin his mission, while Nem evacuated every guests at the vicinity as instructed. With Baku and Crow Nightmare goes face to face, Baku quickly transformed into Zeztz Impact Form and wasted no time in battling the Nightmare. Crow Nightmare didn't hesitate to launch a full frontal attack at Zeztz, causing numerous Crow Feathers to scatter at the Cathedral in real life, as observed by Tetsuya and Nasuka. Nasuka voiced her skepticism at the illogical nature of this case, and questioned Tetsuya what can they do even if this Black Case is indeed connected to Nightmares. In response, Tetsuya simply replied that Baku is their Main Lead for solving the Black Cases.
The fight between Zeztz and Crow Nightmare continues on the outside, and Crow Nightmare dares itself to manipulate the surrounding at a grand scale, which involves turning the Dream World Completely Upside Down! As a result, Miyuki is about to fell down to the endless Sky below her, and one of her Mind Door's opened. Thinking fast, Zeztz uses his recently acquired Wing Capsem to augment himself as Zeztz Physicam Wing form, barely able to save Miyuki before getting attacked by Crow Nightmare once more. Thankfully, now that Zeztz is capable of Aerial Combat, the fight starts to tilt onto Zeztz's side. Just before Zeztz could proceed further, he noticed that Both Koki and Ippei are reversed like the current Dream World. As Zeztz questioned why ONLY Miyuki fell down, Crow Nightmare gloated that this dream manifested the dreamer biggest fear. Only then, Zeztz realizes that like the previous Bomb Nightmare case, Miyuki is the true Dreamer that causes the Nightmare to appear. While in real life, Miyuki is groaning and thrashing helplessly at her bed.
This makes Zeztz wonder : How can be The Bride wanted to be attacked?
