Note: Chapters not mentioned are chapters where ethan does not play a very large part. Even though he is in all of them, it would just turn into a story recital.

The story starts with Ethan hoverboarding down the roadways of the guardian's colony to meet his sister, Lumia, and watch the 100th AMF anniversary take place on stage. On the way, Lumia gets pickpocketed by one of the Vol Brothers. Ethan gives chase, and eventually confronts the thief; However, the other vol brothers show up and restrain him. Lumia appears, and ethan breaks free - The fight quickly ends, however, when Leo shows up. Lumia then drags ethan to the festival. Here, the SEED make their first appearance (Mirei is shown having a vision of it), and cause major structural problems within the guardian's colony, causing Ethan and Lumia to flee. They reach a dead end, and wonder where to go next; however, the roof falls in and Lumia gets trapped. Ethan runs to get help, and bumps into Leo. Leo suggests that ethan join the guardians to help stop the SEED threat, before being hit by a SEED Vance. This Paralyses him, but Ethan picks up his gun and shoots the SEED - Upon seeing this, Leo gives him his saber and handgun so he can go ahead and help Lumia before medical staff arrive to help him. Later on, when you've defeated the SEED Vance at the end of Linear Line, Lumia is rescued, and Leo appears in good health with two Guardians with Photon Erasers.

Later on, Ethan (Presumably now a member of the Guardian's Colony), is called to meet his instructor, Karen. Hyuga is also seen here, talking to a Waitress. Karen walks over, and they both seem quite eager to introduce themselves to her; she explains the problem at one of the local farms on parum, and sets off with Ethan and Hyuga to help. However, mid-way through, they see SEED landing in the local area. Karen gives Ethan a Photon Eraser then tells him how to use it to exterminate the SEED. After Removing the threat in the local area, the farm's prize Gol Dolba attacks the party, and upon it's defeat it decides to ruthlessly charge Ethan, and runs into a cliff, causing a rock slide, crushing it.

After returning to the guardian's colony, the following day Karen introduces Ethan and Hyuga to Dr. Dorson, who asks for an escort to the Relics. Upon taking him there, he asks the party to take him further in, until they reach an ancient creature activated by their presence. Upon it's defeat, it drops a small orb thing which excites Dorson greatly. However, in the next scene, he drops it crossing a chasm, which crushes him. Upon going further, Magashi makes his first appearance and activates an implant within Dorson, Killing him. This proves Dorson's relation with Endrum.

Later on, Ethan meets Lucaim Nav. He orders the party to go somewhere via train on his request. However, the train is Hijacked by the Vol Brothers. The party run down the train to confront them, and you see Nav knock out all 3 with minimal effort. Karen stays by them to make sure they don't get up or run away, and Hyuga, Nav and Ethan go to the front of the train. However, half way through, Karen is gassed by Liina Sukaya and Alfort Tylor, and Nav collapses. Hyuga stays with Nav and looks over him, while ethan rushes to the back of the train to save Karen. However, the Vol Brothers had awoken and asked Ethan for a fight. Upon defeat, Ethan goes to the next room only to face Tylor. He mistakes Tylor as one of the bad guys, and attacks him - However, this doesn't go very well, and Ethan is quickly beaten. Liina then picks Tylor up and the two leave in the Landeel. Ethan rushes to Karen, who, thankfully, is alright. The two laugh it off, however Magashi makes and entrance and picks Ethan up and throws him. However, he's alright, and Magashi sneers and leaves.

Later, during chapter 7, Ethan is asked by Mirei Mikuna to help her find out her Fathers intentions. Ethan, Hyuga, Maya and Mirei proceed to the Hakura Temple, where they are confronted by Communion of Gurhal agents. Upon pushing into the main hall, they reach Dohgi Mikuna, who is using Karen in some kind of ritual. Mirei confronts him, only to be killed by Dohgi. Dohgi then leaps into a Robot suit of some kind, which also has the Ability to cast Technics. Upon it's defeat, Karen wakes up from her stasis and rushes to Mirei, who, at this time, has woken up. Unfortunately, the reunion doesn't go on for very long. Even with healing, Mirei doesn't live for very long and unfortunately passes.

In chapter 10, "Mirei" (Karen) asks Ethan and Lou to take her and Dr. Kanal Tomrain to a station to perform a ritual of sorts to stop the SEED advances. However, during this, SEED swarm the local area, forcing Ethan and Lou to beat them off. Once all the SEED has been mostly killed, Magashi attacks, now in a highly altered form. He finds Ethan much stronger than expected, and retreats. Ethan and Lou then return to the station. The ritual was successful, but Karen passed out. This lead Ethan to believe that she was dead ("KAREEEEENNN!?"), as he tried to wake her up. Izuma Rutsu then arrived and took karen in a Communion of Gurhal transport

In chapter 12, Ethan is notified of the Existance of the HIVE and is offered a trip there by Tylor. Ethan rounds up a group of people (Namely Leo and Tonnio). However, Izuma doesn't allow Karen to come (Which makes Ethan rather sad, in one of the following cut-scenes). However, it's later revealead she came on anyway, much to ethan's suprise. Once the group finally reach the HIVE, Ethan and Karen split off Leo, Tonnio and Lou and go inside. They find Hyuga and Maya in "SEED Pods" and releae them. The four continue into the HIVE and Find Kou Taragi, and the events that follow. Ethan and Karen continue into the hive until they are eventually seperated outside of the core. Ethan continues in, only to be confronted by Magashi. The two have a duel, and Magashi loses and falls directly into the core. Karen, followed by Ethan and Tonnio rush in, and congratulate him. However, Magashi is not dead and "merges" with the SEED Core, causing the party even more trouble. After the victory, the Quartet run back to the Landeel and get out. The Landeel takes off, and Exits the HIVE before the AMF open fire upon it and destroy it.

After, during an afterparty of sorts upon the landeel, Ethan shares conversations with all those involved (Including the vol brothers!) while looking for Karen. He eventually finds her on the Observation deck of the Landeel. the Two talk, before Karen hugs him for something he said.
