Team Vale, led by the lowest-ranked leader in Academy history, is chosen to assist the authorities in locating and containing Code Zero. To the students, it sounds like an impossible assignment.

What begins as a retrieval mission quickly spirals into something far greater: a race to understand whether Code Zero is a weapon, a warning, or the next stage of evolution itself.
