Earth is a desolate wasteland in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Humanity has been decimated by an invasion of Phantoms, insubstantial aliens that extract and devour the spirits of living things. The few remaining humans have retreated to a handful of cities that are protected by massive bio-energy shields. The beautiful Dr. Aki Ross and her mentor Dr. Sid have discovered that the energy signatures of eight key Earth spirits can cancel out and destroy the Phantoms. With the help of Captain Edwards and his band of marines, they must scour the globe for the last two remaining spirits before General Hein manipulates the refugee government into attacking the aliens with an orbital laser that may also destroy the Earth.

Naomi Armitage, her husband Ross, and their daughter Yoko are spending a nice, quite life in a nice part of Mars with new names. Unfortunately, troops have raided a Third Type facility slaughtering not only the Armitage robots, but killing the human staff as well. Now Naomi must cast off her duties as wife and mother and resume her role as unofficial detective. With political debate heating up over the issue of robots being given the same rights as humans, things have never been more dangerous for Naomi nor her family.
The trail leads Naomi to Earth and to Chicago while Ross is recruited to represent a Martian interest to participate in a vote for robot rights. However, with the introduction of two Armitage-type assassin robots, things have gone from bad to worse.

Late one night, Afro is suddenly attacked by Jinno. However, he is unable to protect himself, and Jinno drags him nearby to his father's grave, where a woman named Sio awaits. She proceeds to take the Number One headband that he possesses, as well as the remains of his dead father's skull. Before leaving, she tells him to seek and obtain the Number Two headband, if he wants the right to take back his father's remains. With that, Afro must once again embark on a path of violence in order to let his father rest in peace once again.
