Needless

Cruz Schild, the last survivor of the resistance against Simeon is attacked by a Testament only to be saved by a very unusual priest named Adam Blade. After taking Cruz back to his church Cruz is unofficially taken in by Adam and his friends Eve Neuschwanstein and Gido

Whilst out shopping Eve and Cruz are attacked by one of Simeon's most dangerous Needless. At first the battle seems hopeless but Eve is far more powerful than she looks and once she learns the secret of her opponent’s seemingly endless abilities she quickly turns the tide of the battle.

Adam is attacked by a Needless called Teruyama Momiji who is seeking revenge for the murder of his friends and family. After a heated battle it emerges that Momiji has the wrong Adam, in fact the man he wants is Adam Arclight. As such he quickly joins forces with the group from the church.

Adam and the others receive information from a mysterious character called Disk who instructs them to head to Iron Mountain. On the way they encounter a scared young girl called Mio who ends up tagging along. When they finally meet Disk they are surprised to find a young female cyborg rather than the decrepit old man they expected.

Disk explains that Adam is a failed attempt at cloning the 'Second' and that that is the reason that Simeon is so interested in him. However, before they can continue there discussion they are attacked by the Simeon Girl's Force. During the battle Mio reveals her true colours and Eve is kidnapped.

Eve manages to escape from the Simeon Girl's Force to the nearby 'Governor's Mansion', a pre-war building protected by an advanced security system called Goldilocks. Meanwhile, the rest of the group, now accompanied by Disk decide to regroup at the church.
