The scene begins in a residential area of Tokyo.

Atari Hitotonari, a young school girl, walks along the top of a fence, wondering why she is the only one to survive.

She loses her precarious balance and falls to the ground, continuing to agonize over how wrong it feels to be the only one alive.

Meanwhile, helicopters hover in the skies, as an EDC representative directs residents to proceed to their predetermined evacuation shelters, as the Yamanote train line has been attacked by Transformers.

As EDC vehicles resembling Japanese police cars arrive on the scene, Commander Amaou of the EDC Tokyo Autrooper Team emerges from her transport. She sighs over the Transformers' continued acts of aggression, and asks whether Xiao has arrived yet.

A tearful EDC member says that Syao-sama (-sama being a term of great respect) is still in the midst of battling with a Transformer, or rather, Legion. Although two Kremzeek bullets were fired into it, the Legion transformed and camoflauged itself as a car and escaped.

The hysterical EDC member begs Amaou to send reinforcements, as Syao-sama's fusion time is almost at its limit.

Amaou pulls the sobbing EDC member to her chest, soothing her with the words:
"...Don't worry. We can't afford to lose any more valuable KissPlayers."

Helicopters fly overhead as Atari continues to lie on the ground in pain. She muses aloud that she's in pain because she's alive, and wonders if Mama and Papa are free from pain now. She recalls how nobody saved her mother or father. Yet everyone continues to go to school, laugh and live as though nothing happened. Even she is continuing to live. Feeling disgusted by everything, she screams:
"I want to die, I want to die! Please, Mama, Papa!"

Suddenly, a mysterious voice speaks up.
"You want to die?"
Atari (still on her back) looks up, but nobody is there... only a car.
Elsewhere, Commander Amaou picks up a Legion signal, and determines that the closest Autrooper is the Ne-04, partnered with Syao. She orders the EDC operatives to contact Xiao, and orders the other available KissPlayers to head to the scene as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the car continues to advance on Atari, chasing her into a dead end as a mysterious voice continues to ask her if she wishes to die.

Atari notices that the menacing car is unmanned.

As the car changes into a robot with a Decepticon symbol on its chest, she realizes that it must be...
...a Transformer!

As a viscous fluid drips off of the robot's tongue and onto Atari's head, it asks once more if Atari wishes to die.

Faced with her death, the crouching Atari whispers that she does not want to die.

Just then, a new robot appears and delivers a roundhouse kick to the Legion robot, sending it crashing.

The triumphant robot approaches Atari. As she looks up in astonishment, it suddenly kneels.

Giant hands slam down on the pavement, causing Atari to scream.
With a glurping sound, a slime-covered arm emerges from the robot.
"No way..." is Atari's only response.

Atari screams out loud as a naked Asian woman, wearing only a padlocked collar around her neck, is disgorged from the robot.

The woman, still dripping a mysterious fluid onto Atari, opens her eyes vaguely as the robot announces that the KissPlayer fusion time has reached its limit, and so a forcible ejection has occured. The robot burps.

"KissPlayer...?" repeats Atari, as EDC vehicles come on the scene.

"We found Syao!" shouts the newly-arrived Commander Amaou.

As Commander Amaou surveys the scene, she recognizes the girl with Syao Syao as being Atari Hitotonari. She smiles knowingly, and muses that they must have been drawn to each other... just as she suspected they would.
A voice over the radio warns Amaou that the Legion has reactivated itself.

Meanwhile, the giant robot orders Atari to kiss it.
Atari, weighed down by an unconscious Syao Syao, responds uncomprehendingly.

The giant robot restates its command, saying: "Kiss me. You will die."
Commander Amaou shouts from the sidelines, telling Atari that she has been chosen by the Autrooper, and is a KissPlayer. She urges Atari to kiss it, quickly.

Atari screams, asking who Amaou is.

Panicked EDC operatives order Kremzeek bullets to be fired at the Legion.

The Legion robot attacks, penetrating Autrooper's arm with its extended tongue.
The arm is ripped off with the force of the blow.

As Atari looks on in shock, the Autrooper asks her whether she does not regret doing nothing.

After a moment's thought, Atari stands up, declaring that doing nothing is the last thing that she wants.
She reaches up to Autrooper, opens her mouth, and kisses the kneeling robot.

A naked image of Atari appears superimposed over the Autrooper's body, as the robot regenerates its lost limb.

Amaou joyously announces that Atari has successfully fused with the Autrooper, and is a KissPlayer after all.
