The stage starts off with a cutscene of Gunvolt being tortured by [[Romeo]] with an electric whip.

Stage Composition

As this is meant to be a tutorial stage, the composition is largely linear and simple without many difficult portions.

The stage starts off with a cutscene of Gunvolt being tortured by Romeo. However, after Romeo leaks some important info, Gunvolt breaks free and begins to flee the Sumeragi facility. A short section with some laser cannon and flying enemies follows, before Gunvolt boards an elevator he must move by tagging it and using the Flashfield. Then a hallway section with many shutters follows before a hexapyle appears.

Gunvolt then boards the train Lumen is on, which comprises the rest of the level. Sections with many Sumeragisoldiers and robots follow, before Gunvolt encounters the first bosses, two Mantises. Once both of them are out of commission, a second cutscene with Gunvolt rescuing Joule from the train commences, and the level is cleared.

Boss: Mantis

Mantis

Three-fourths of the way through, Gunvolt will fight a large metal robot known as a Mantis, and will fight a second one soon after. The first fight takes place with Gunvolt standing atop a pile of crates, giving him an edge as he can more easily tag the Mantis.

The Mantis has multiple easily-dodgeable attacks, such as firing missiles that are blockable by the Flashfield, shooting the ground with the machine guns on its arms, and firing a laser that can be avoided by standing still and not jumping. It can only be damaged by tagging and shocking its core, which pops up after its head sustains enough damage. After defeating both of the Mantises, Gunvolt can proceed towards the Hexapyle, and complete the mission by destroying it.
