After his inexcusable failure, Lee Coleman is executed by Jimmy Gates' henchmen. Meanwhile, Akira, Pai and Jacky pass by a small town for a lunch break and hopefully a new spare tire for Jacky's van. In a small bar, the gang discovers they are wanted by the law, courtesy of the Koenkan. A lone sheriff manages to capture Pai, but Jacky and Akira manage to escape. The sheriff chases them until Jacky and Akira decide to surrender peacefully. Meanwhile, Pai is detained at the sheriff's jail when Koenkan henchmen disguised as F.B.I agents take her away. The sheriff, Akira and Jacky arrive in time to witness Pai's abduction. The sheriff questions the F.B.I agents, but ends up being ignored and harassed by them. Convinced this was all a scam, he lets Akira and Jacky go to help rescue Pai and they do-wild west style!
Akira and the gang finally arrive at New Salt Lake City. Meanwhile,
Jimmy Gates, the head of the Koenkan's American branch, creates a plan
to capture Pai and the others. Sarah is transported to another laboratory
just as the gang are arriving. They then try to sneak in only to
fall into a trap. They face a small army of android drones(similar
to Dural). Of course, Jacky, Pai and Akira kick android ass and that's
that. Following Alexander to the holding cell where Sarah used to
be, they realize she's not there just as Eva Durix arrives and denies that
she's ever met or heard of Sarah. After a brief argument, Akira,
Pai, and Jacky are arrested.
After a brief period in jail, Akira and Pai are released, but Jacky isn't because of his bad behaviour towards the guards. Pai and Akira have to raise money for Jacky's bail, so they work as construction workers. While working, Pai notices a woman being chased by two thugs and beats them up. Unfortunately, it was all an act for a movie that was being filmed. The producer takes a liking to Pai and decides to cast her in the lead after the star actress quits. After filming a few scenes, the stunt men thst Pai tangled with before ask for a picture with her. They soon reveal that they're with the Koenkan and capture Pai. Akira rescues her and fights the henchmen while the film is rolling. Pleased with the footage, the producer hands Pai a check and tells her he still wants to make her a star. Pai and Akira then bail out Jacky and head for a motel, where Jacky receives a mysterious phone call from Sarah, saying she's in New York
The gang arrives in New York. Pai, left alone with the luggage, is hustled by a clever thief and they're left without luggage or money, so they take shelter in a cheap motel. Jacky blames Pai for being careless with the luggage, and she gets fed up and storms out of the motel. Akira finds Pai in the city and tries to comfort her. Then they save a defenceless boy names Jimmy who was being harrassed by thugs. They take Jimmy back to the motel, where he tells Jacky that he knows where Sarah is. Jimmy takes everybody back to his apartment just in time to see a bunch of thugs carry Jimmy's sister and (could it be?) Sarah to the subway. The gang chase them and hop a ride onto the subway. There, they meet up with Kruger, a skilled martial artist, and Akira makes short work of him. Kruger confesses where Sarah is going, but then he manages to escape. They follow him on foot through the subway only to discover his body! Who could have killed him?
Akira and the gang travel further through the subway tunnels and discover a secret underground fighting arena and casino. There, they are captured by Clyde, the organizer of the establishment. Clyde strikes a deal with Akira and Jacky promising he will free them and take them to Sarah if either of them agrees to fight in the ring. For Sarah's sake, Akira volunteers after knocking out Jacky, preventing him from fighting and risking his own life. Akira squares off against Wolf Hawkfield, the champion of the arena. Akira doesn't do so well at first, but Pai reminds him of the Eight Stars and he wins(She's crazy about him:). Being a good sport, Wolf congratulates Akira, then Clyde betrays them.
Jacky, Pai and Jimmy
are taken to a secret room while Akira is apprehended by Koenkan henchmen.
Pai and Jimmy are taken to Clyde's control centre where Jimmy reveals that
he is the head of the Koenkan in America. Meanwhile, Wolf tries to
rescue Akira from the Koenkan guards but ends up being overhelmed by guards.
Akira is then placed in a room with Jacky and they are forced to fight
each other if they wish to get Sarah back. Just as they begin their
fight, Wolf finds the control room and frees Pai and lets Jimmy
go, not knowing
that he is with the Koenkan. Jimmy is confused and enraged that Wolf
continues to help Akira after he was beaten by him and activates the self-destruct
sequence. Pai stops Akira and Jacky's fight and Akira goes after
Jimmy. Jacky and Pai make it to the surface without Akira.
The arena
explodes...

assumed demise and wondering if he survived, Pai and Jacky continue their
search for Sarah in Holland. There they meet a little girl named
Lily Anna where she asks them to be her bodyguards for her dance studio.
Meanwhile Sarah continues to be brainwashed as Kage-maru looks on.
Pai and Jacky arrive
at the studio to find gangsters trashing the place saying they have an
eviction notice. After fighting off the gangsters, Lily's mom, the
owner of the studio, says the notice was forged. Lily tells Pai she's
in love with Jacky and asks her for advice. Pai finally reveals her
true feeling for Akira^_^. The gangster return to the studio and

as a fisherman: to provide for his family and to save up for his own boat.
Both of them meet Jack Moreno, an army mercenary from the Rafale Corporation.
Meanwhile, Pai and Jacky are captured by the elegant and deadly Hauer sisters,
