Chiyoko has been training hard as Shi-ria’s apprentice, and while she has made progress, she hasn’t yet defeated her greatest opponent, her own temper. As her powers grow, Scarlet Knightwalker becomes more worried that Chiyoko will be more easily tempted to use that power to lash out against those who wronged her. Just like the Poison Starfish who want revenge for Shi-ria, Chiyoko and Shinjo dealing a crippling blow to their criminal empire.
To do this, the Poison Starfish have hired the notorious mercenary Dead-Eye Sammie, who also wants revenge against our heroes. To enlist Dead-Eye’s help, the Poison Starfish must go through Dead-Eye’s business partner, the mysterious Ms. Alcro. But in helping the Poison Starfish, is Ms. Alcro helping the same criminals who ruined her life as a child and set her on this dark path years ago? Have she and Dead-Eye become the very criminals they despise?
It’s uneasy alliances and betrayals as heroes and villains clash in a battle of revenge versus justice. Sometimes, the real enemy isn’t your opponent on the battlefield but the darkness within: your own fear, anger, and hatred. But how does one conquer the enemy inside when no weapon can kill or wound it?
