The game begins with Ark leading the coup soldiers on a pursuit of Orwen personally. He intercepts the evacuation at the Ertothal Harbor, killing Leros and Orwen's cortege, and demands for Orwen to surrender.

After Orwen escapes, assisted by sergeant Albert Grabner, Ark spreads a rumor painting Albert as abductor and Ark's forces as trying to rescue Orwen. In the meantime, he contracts the Kernelight Association for assistance, who send Brenda and her partner Boris to Bergen. Ark's plan to trap Orwen succeeds, leaving Albert to flee Bergen for his life.

In the following six months, Ark stages Orwen's formal abdication and tightens the military control over Bergen. After learning Ark had Albert's parents interrogated and executed, Albert returns to fight the coup.

It is revealed Ark has brought the Crimson Blow into Bergen and is working with a woman called Royce Felder, an agent of an unknown third side. He arrives to fight Albert personally but underestimates him and has to flee for his life. Ark escapes to the Bergen HQ and commandeers the NORAD's experimental wanzer Sleipnir. He holds Orwen hostage and nearly threatens Albert into surrendering. However, Genoce turns on Ark and frees Orwen. With Ark's defeat, peace returns to Bergen.

In the course of his investigation of the Society's actions, Albert learns Ark was cooperating with the Society and Schwarz in exchange for their aid.
