Zero: Dragon Blood
Centuries in the early days of the Makai Order, there was no Makai Knights, only Makai Priests. It was darker times and humanity often sacrificed their own children to spare themselves from the Horrors. One day, a baby was rescued by a Makai Dragon and raised him as his own, he would be known as Dragon Knight Edel.

Seeing the incredible Horror-slaying abilities of dragon power, the Makai Order wanted it for themselves and kidnapped one for study. Edel fought against the priests that would kidnap his dragon partner, Nova, and their egg. Nova sacrificed herself by burning all the priests and shelled Edel from the inferno before transforming into a forest.

Within the center lies the unborn dragon egg, hidden from humanity until modern times. A little girl, Alice Hiromi, discovered that egg in recent times and bonded with it until the Makai Order rediscovered the egg. In an age of Makai Knights, the order decided to have it sealed away in a secret place of dangerous artifacts, however, Alice wants the egg back.

In the aftermath of Black Blood, Rei gets relocated to Rune City as his new district. Rei meets and rescues Alice (now an adult) from a Horror Den. She has become a photographer on a secret quest to be reunited with the Dragon Egg. Although Rei resisted Alice’s persistent inquiry about the Dragon Egg, she always found herself at the center of trouble and even stayed at the Lupo Bar (Rei’s base of operations) to learn more about things. In between Rei taking on Horrors and protecting Alice from harm, a duo of sibling priests, Kagome (little sister) and Okina (big brother) sought a means to attain greater power. Okina wanted to make his little sister stronger and sought the power of the Dragon Knight. Okina stole the dragon shell that encased the Dragon Knight and freed Edel in hopes he could help him. Still harboring great anger against the Makai Order, Edel killed Okina instead. Kagome was no match against Edel and was defeated in combat.
The Makai Order made an alert to Rei about Edel and he was reunited with Makai Priestess Rekka to help protect the Dragon Egg from Edel. They planned to seal the egg in a magical container to prevent it from being used if lost. Alice stumbled upon their location and was finally reunited with the egg, but so was Edel. Unwilling to be separated from the egg, Edel activated his armor and fought Zero. In the midst of the chaos, Alice had the egg and container in hand and locked the egg. Although Edel escaped with the egg, the magical lock prevents him from directly interface with his child. Only Alice’s hand can unlock the container.

Kagome would appear and attempt to kill Alice, believing that if Alice dies, it will prevent Edel from ever gaining access to the egg. Rei stopped her and Rekka intervened to prevent bloodshed. At Lupo Bar, the group learned about Kagome’s story and she agreed not to harm Alice and even agreed to protect Alice.
Zero: Dragon Blood
Rekka gave Alice a protection charm against Edel, but Kagome cancelled its magic in hopes to lure out Edel and it worked. Alice was taken by Edel and he convinced her to remove the magical lock. Rei, Rekka, and Kagome found Alice and they fought against him. Ultimately, Kagome decided to sacrifice herself along with Edel. She created a magical explosion that killed both of them. The surviving members buried Kagome and returned to base.
Zero: Dragon Blood
The order decided to have the egg destroyed to prevent further problems, but Alice took the egg away before they had the chance. To Alice’s surprise, the egg hatched and a baby dragon appeared. She decided to name the dragon Loop and plan to leave town.
However, both Rei and Rekka found her and demanded Loop back. Alice attempted to flee, but encountered a horror. Loop saved her from the attack, but it severely weakened him to near death. Edel secretly survived his fight and teleported Alice and Loop away from Rei so he could save his child.
Having knowledge about dragon physiology, Edel told Alice that Loop needs to feed on makai energy to heal and grow. Edel placed Loop near a dimensional fault for Loop to absorb the latent energies. However, Rei and Rekka soon found them.
