The film begins with an opening narration telling the legend of light and darkness. 7 millennia ago, Onami, the god of light, and his brother, Omaru, the god of darkness, once lived together in harmony, bringing light and darkness to the world, until one day, when Omaru grew jealous of Onami's extended period in the summertime and became blinded with power. Forming an army, he battled Onami to claim the Earth for his own, an event known as, "The Dark War". The battle lasted for 6 millenniums before Onami, using the power of the Millennium Shard, which appears once at the start of a new millennium, merged with his brother, overwhelming his evil personality and forming Onamaru. the mega-god of light and dark. A millennia has since passed, and no one who has heard the tale has ever found a way to separate Onamaru back into Omaru and Onami.

The man, a geologist, decides to study it in the morning. However, as he puts the shard down and turns off the light, he discovers that the shard emits an ominous purple glow and has an inscription on it. After reading it, Onamaru appears before him and splits back into Onami and Omaru, revealing the crystal to be a Millennium Shard. Afterwards, lightning strikes the man and the crystal, killing him and creating a blast of black smoke that causes a worldwide blackout. Afterwards, Omaru exiles Onami to a coffin, strippen bare of his powers and buries him under the apartment, gloating over the freedom he had been wanting for so long.

Scenes taking place at an apartment complex in Goldcrest were filmed at an apartment complex in Madwyn. A scene set at El Kadsre City International Airport was filmed at. The scenes at the Allways Mall were filmed at.

Because the film was shot in North Carolina instead of, they were unable to film at , which played Tyran University in the first film. To circumvent this, large-scale mockups of the exteriors for the TCU campus locations used in the first film were built in a field outside. After filming, because much of the mockups were too large to be stored, the mock-ups were dismantled. Other exterior and various interior shots at Tyran University were filmed on the campus.
