While the Goddesses were responding to a distress call from the distant PC Continent, Nepgear and the other Candidates were sent to an abandoned research facility to investigate a monster outbreak.

There, they encountered the Ashen Goddess, who trapped them in a capsule and put them into a deep sleep. When they awoke, they were shocked to discover that 2 years had passed.

Upon emerging from their slumber, they learned that Neptune had gone missing during her mission to the PC Continent 2 years ago, and in the absence of the Goddess and her Candidate, Neptune had been ravaged by a series of strange incidents, collectively referred to as the Trendi Phenomenon.

Suddenly finding herself deprived of her home and family, Nepgear faces the greatest challenge she has ever encountered.

This is a story about finding hope within despair and the rebirth of a Goddess in the aftermath of destruction.
