Akira is riding high after a lucrative deal when he encounters a young pickpocket who shatters his newfound confidence. In a blind rage, he gives chase, desperate to restore his pride—but his rampage brings him up against familiar faces: Katsuya and his team. The young hunters already have bad blood between them after their misunderstandings in the ruins, and Katsuya can never resist a damsel in distress. When he sides with the thief, Akira's fury boils over, and not even Alpha can rein him in. Will he unleash his resentment and attack the group—even without his powered suit or most of his gear? Or can he keep his cool and find another way to get even? And if he manages to navigate this minefield, what will he find as he explores a new site beneath the wasteland—a fresh opportunity, or disaster?
