Synopsis
Andy and Fuuko are taken to the Roundtable where Union members await. There, Apocalypse delivers the new round of quests.

Summary
Andy and Fuuko got to a closed restaurant. Fuuko cries over Gina's death. While pouring some alcohol, Andy states that she always wanted to die. When she visited him in the lab, she had told him that she had reservations about killing others to stay alive and that it would be better if she died. Andy then promised her that once he escapes, he will be on top of his hit list. Andy tells Fuuko that her unluck saved Gina. Fuuko asks Andy if they can change Union, so that no one else suffers like Gina did. Andy confirms, and states that Union will be coming to pick them soon and they should drink for Gina. As they prepare to drink, the ceiling cracks and a creature comes out calling them IX and X, and that it came to pick them up. As it takes them, they find themselves falling in a tunnel and see a round table with other people. Andy then bites off his fingers and shoots them at the people as a "greeting", however they all easily deal with his fingers.

As they fall into IX and X seat, the leader Juiz, having first seat welcomes them. The rest of the members include Shen, II seat; Billy, III seat; Phil, IV seat; Tatiana, V seat; Ishin, VI seat; Top, VII seat; and Nico, VIII seat. Tatiana then punches Andy for killing Gina, but Billy reminds her that fighting among members is forbidden. Juiz then tells them to stop, forcing Andy to place his blade at Fuuko's neck and Tatiana to point her gun at Billy. Tatiana apologizes, telling Juiz that she doesn't want to kill Billy. Andy is surprised that his hand moved on his own and also gives up. Andy apologizes to Fuuko, but states he got some results.

After everyone takes their seats, Juiz tells Apocalypse, a flying and talking book, to proceed. Apocalypse then opens up and reveals six new quests. The first quest is the capture of the UMA Burn, allowed participant count: six, with reward addition of eleventh seat. Second quest is capture of the UMA Eat, allowed participant count: five, with reward the location of Negator Unburn. Third quest is neutralization of UMA Language, allowed participant count: one, with reward unification of all world languages. Fourth quest is capture of Negator Unseen, allowed participant count: one, with reward location of UMA Call. Fifth quest is capture of UMA Past, allowed participant count: three, with reward location of Artifact Rebellion. Sixth quest is capture of UMA Spoil, allowed participant: three, with reward location of Negator Unrepair. The allowed time is until August 31st. If all quests are not fulfilled, the penalty will be the addition of UMA Galaxy.

Juiz tells Nico to analyze the data along with their own. After a few moments, Nico is ready and explains that they can handle the first three quests. Burn should be their highest priority as the reward is the most worthwhile, additional seat. They should give up on the sixth quest as they lack relevant data and will only lose members. Juiz then states they should focus on the first three and take on the penalty. As Juiz prepares to split the quests among them, Fuuko asks Top about what is Apocalypse. Top explains its the first Artifact found on Earth. When Negators sit on every seat at the Roundtable, it opens up and gives them unreasonable tasks. If they clear them, they get a reward, but if they fail, they receives a penalty. Fuuko addresses everyone and asks if they should do what Apocalypse says. She shares that Gina also didn't want to do it and that one of the quests is capture of a Negator, a person who is just like them. Juiz explains that 98 times Rules has been added to Earth. Sex, Language, Race, Death, Sick, are just few of the added rules. Once every three months, new penalties are added even without Union's intervention, which is why Union intervenes. They need to be strong to clear the quests, which is why they capture and utilize those with power. By obtaining rewards, they grow stronger and one day, they will be able to execute the creator of Earth, God. Only those seated at the Roundtable can take on quests, so they need to keep substitutes in case there is a vacancy. Leaving Undead and Unluck unchecked posed too great risk. Juiz had ordered the disposal of Fuuko, for which she apologizes, but after Shen's recommendation, she decided to invite them to Union. If Fuuko wants to make changes, she needs to become number one. If Fuuko works hard and accomplish more than Juiz, then she will be promoted, moving up and can eventually become a leader.

Andy gets on the table and grabs Apocalypse, asking him which is the hardest quest. Annoyed, Apocalypse bites off Andy's hands and reveals that Spoil's quest is the hardest. Andy then states that he, Fuuko and Shen will be taking it. Shen is against it, but Apocalypse accepts and gives them the quest.

Its August 21st. Shen's subordinate, Mei, helps Fuuko dress up. Fuuko wonders if Mei will be coming on her quest, but Mei explains that she doesn't have an Emblem, nor is a Negator, so she isn't allowed to participate in quests. Mui then asks Fuuko to look after Shen on their quest. Leaving the room, running Andy ends up bumping into Fuuko. As she touches him, magma erupts from the walls and dissolves his suit. Andy doesn't care about the suit and wants them to head out for the quest, but Shen states he needs to have one. He explains that suits are bulletproof, stab-proof and sturdy in general. The necktie grants access to various public services, and it can also translate any language. And the Emblem is needed to participate in quests. Andy still states that he doesn't need it and explains that he plans on traveling with Fuuko alone, so they can have a date. An alarm then activates, informing them that UMA No.1129 has escaped. As the UMA happens to be on their level, Mei checks which one is 1129 and sees its Clothes, an UMA that latches onto a person's body and transforms into the garments that person most desires. However, once it bewitches them with the garments, it takes total control over the body and starts running wild. A person controlled by Clothes, then comes and attacks them, but Andy knocks him out. Mei then states that when the person who Clothes controls, loses its ability to move, it will look out for a new one. Clothes then jumps on Mei and transforms. Andy doesn't see a change in her clothes, but Shen sees. Mei then attacks them. While they defend, Andy asks Shen to use his abilities on Mei, but Shen explains that they wont' work on Mei, however it will work on Clothes. Seeing that Mei cries, Fuuko goes and touches her, and apologizes that it may hurt a bit. A brick then falls from the ceiling and hits Mei on the head and knocks her out. Clothes then moves towards Fuuko, who had figured that Clothes prefers females, however Andy jumps and saves her, letting Clothes get on him. Fuuko knew that Andy will save her and explains that even if it takes her over, they will have easier time beating her than Mui, however Andy reminds her that her Unluck is quite dangerous. Mei wakes up and apologizes to Shen, but he compliments her kung-fu, stating that her training paid off.

Its been a while, but Clothes isn't transforming into any garments. It pops out annoyed of Andy's desire of sturdy clothes that regenerate when ripped and rush over when called. As Andy provokes Clothes, Clothes states that it will grant him his desire and take control over him. As it starts to transform, Fuuko recalls that Andy touched her a moment ago. A lightning attack then hits them. Nico apologizes and explains that an Artifact malfunctioned. As Clothes regenerates over Andy, Andy complains that it took him 15 seconds and he needs to be faster. Fuuko then welcomes Clothes, stating it will call him Clothy. Shen is impressed t hat they managed to make an UMA their servant. For stopping the UMA, Andy gets promoted to IX seat. Union then receives a report of rotting corpse wandering the streets of New York, which they believe is connected to UMA Spoil.
