Summary

Storyline

A year has passed since the events of the true ending of *Melty Blood*, with the death of Night of Wallachia at the hands of Sion Eltnam Atlasia, Arcueid Brunestud, and Shiki Tohno. This is also after the aftermath caused by White Len and Aoko Aozaki in *Melty Blood Re-ACT*, as well as smaller incidents in *Melty Blood Act Cadenza* (involving Miyako Arima, White Len, Neco-Arc, and Neco-Arc Chaos). The combatants who were involved in the previous two TATARIs in Misaki Town feel something is off, as if they've forgotten someone they once knew (Sion Eltnam Atlasia), and the events caused by Night of Wallachia in the town a year ago seem to have returned, as though they never happened. This leads Shiki, Sion, Arcueid, Ciel, Akiha Tohno, Hisui, and Kohaku to act once more, reenacting their roles in the event known as "Hologram Summer," which is again triggered by the Dead Apostle Ancestor, Night of Wallachia. Alongside the enemies that previously appeared and were materialized by the original TATARI in Misaki Town a year ago, three new combatants emerge who were not present in the original incident: Riesbyfe Stridberg, the friend Sion lost four years ago; Kouma Kishima, Shiki Tohno/Shiki Nanaya's greatest enemy who destroyed the entire Nanaya clan; and Michael Roa Valdamjong (Near-side version), responsible for the vampiric attacks in *Tsukihime* over two years ago. As Sion has already sensed, and as others not directly involved in the first *Melty Blood* events (Miyako Arima, White Len, Aoko Aozaki, Neco-Arc, Neco-Arc Chaos, Mech-Hisui and her copies, and all manifestations from past TATARIs—Red Arcueid, Shiki Nanaya, and Nrvnqsr Chaos) have also noticed, there is a new entity lurking in the shadows, hidden from all. This entity is somehow reactivating the TATARI phenomenon, which should have ceased after Wallachia's death in *Melty Blood* and White Len's defeat in *Melty Blood Re-ACT*. This new enemy seeks to repeat the events of the first *Melty Blood*, with a sinister goal: to eliminate all life on Earth and eradicate humanity by using TATARI to seal reality within fantasy through a forbidden ritual. The ritual aims to transform everything and everyone into Philosopher’s stones, in order to create a supercomputer that would serve as an eternal record of human existence, essentially bringing about their own version of the end of the world. While Sion and others unaffected by the memory-altering changes and time distortions caused by this new entity work to solve the new TATARI case and help Shiki and the others regain their memories of Sion and the original TATARI events from a year ago, the beings materialized by TATARI follow their 'scripts' and take the chance not only to terrorize the people of Misaki Town but also to seek revenge on those responsible for their 'deaths' in the past. Some among them attempt to break free from the control of this new TATARI, seeking to uncover the entity behind the return of Hologram Summer and stop it from destroying all life on Earth and humanity itself.
