The young blood takes arms, and the flares have been shot in the sky for rebellion.
Bat: Charge!
The generals of the Source Star have staged a counterinsurgency. The general of the red light, Shoki. The general of the purple light, Solia.
Solia: Die with my last blow, Kenshiro!
Kenshiro: Ata!
Solia: Gwah!
The ultimate general of the Source Star imperial fist, the golden Falco, is truly horrific.
Lin: Bat!
Soldier: Who the hell is this guy?!
Bat: Too bad... is this where our advance ends?
The Wrath of the South Star!
The Illustrious Harn Brothers!!
Inside the imperial capital, Jako is having a nightmare. The North Star is watching him, and then, Raoh appears, reaching out towards him...
Jako screams and wakes up. He realizes it was just a dream, but then hears a knock at the door. The blue general, Boltz, and the green general, Taiga, enter the room.
Jako asks them if there has been any word from Falco or Shoki, but they say they don't know. This frustrates Jako, who shouts that it's too dark -he wants more light! The slaves are made to work harder, and the capital shines even more brightly.
As Kenshiro continues on, he hopes Lin and Bat are safe. Nearby, Ein is following him. He tells his driver to speed up, as they need to get there before Kenshiro does.
As Falco looks at Lin, he thinks this is impossible, is God mocking him? He recalls the time he was in the capital, looking upon a baby.
Falco confirms that Lin is the leader, and says he has no mercy, not even for women or children. In the name of the celestial emperor, he will eliminate her. Lin says she is prepared for this. Up above, Hazu wonders what's going to happen to Lin. Gill says that guy down there is the merciless Falco, there's no way he's going to spare her.
Hazu asks the guy who was left with them if he's going to save Lin, but Gill warns him not to try it, as he'll never be able to do it. But he and his brother may be able to do it, if he lets them out. The guy asks how he's supposed to let them out of the concrete, so Hazu suggests there is some good stuff behind him: dynamite.
At the North Star army's base, everyone watches a lightning storm. Rihaku says that someone related to the North Star and South Stars will be in agony. Falco walks towards Lin. Bat shouts that he's the leader, but Falco ignores him.
He tells Lin that this is her fate. He goes to kill her, but then stops when he hears a explosion nearby. Up on the cliff, the concrete that was holding the Harn brothers has been cracked open.
They smash their way out of it, and reveal they have something with them: a bomb. If they hit the fuse with this, they can kill the bad guys with it. But they wonder who should be the one to do it. The Harn brothers suggest a game of rock, paper, scissors.
The guy with them loses the game, and says he'll go. But Hazu knocks him out, and tells him this job is a one way trip -too heavy a burden for him.
The two break up part of the cliff, and fall down towards Falco. Falco punches the boulder and smashes it, as Hazu and Gill land next to him. They say it's been a while, and they can't say they've missed him. Falco recognizes the Harn brothers, and didn't know they were still alive.
Hazu tell him they've returned from a concrete hell, but now it's his turn. Falco thinks they've come all this way just to die. The Harn brothers point out the bomb, and point out that if they hit the fuse, it'll go boom -they'll take him and his forces all to hell. They want him to stay away from Lin, otherwise they'll blast the fuse. Falco says they must be aware that they'll also die if they do that, but Hazu just tells him to look him in the eye and say that again. Falco orders his forces to move back.
He tells Lin's forces to retreat as well, so they move back, and help Bat back up. The Harn brothers then challenge Falco to a rematch, but Falco asks why villains like them want to fight him.
Gill says they have a good reason to defeat him. He and his brother pull out a large flag, which has the South Star emblem on it. Hazu says that in the 108 styles of the South Star sacred fist, they are successor to the Nanto soyo ken (South Star twin hawk fist) style. The only thing that can defeat the emperor are the North Star and South Stars, and the South Star has risen to the rebellious signal of the North Star. They tell Falco that he's going to die here. Falco tells them that, in the name of the celestial emperor, they'll be destroyed.
As Kenshiro hurries on, Ein tells his driver he's going to slowly. He demands for him to speed up!
They pull alongside Kenshiro, and Ein promises his sweetheart that he'll bring Kenshiro's head to her as a gift.
Falco's men throw a volley of spears at Hazu and Gill, but they destroy them all. The soldiers tells Falco there is no need for him to dirty his hands with the likes of them. Gill doesn't want to deal with the small fry, but Hazu says they'll be good for warming up with.
Falco's men charge, but Hazu and Gill also rush towards them. They deal with the first wave by battering them out of the way, and then leap high up into the air.
Falco's men jump up towards them, only to get sliced apart instantly:
NANTO SOYO KEN
(South Star Twin Hawk Fist)
As Hazu and Gill land, Hazu says that the majority of the 108 South Star sacred fist styles were destroyed by Falco's Source Star imperial fist. But they'll use their South Star twin hawk fist to tear his heart out. Falco is amused, but Hazu and Gill then charge towards him.
NANTO SOYO KEN: SO RAKUSO HA
(South Star Twin Hawk Fist: Paired Feather Drop Claw Rip)
As the Harn brothers drop down, Falco avoids their attack at the last moment. As the two land, they say that he dodged it well, but they won't miss this time.
They leap up, and then use the same technique again. But this time, Falco strikes back, blasting them with a wave of energy.
Hazu takes the brunt of this blast, and the two crash back down. Bat thinks it's no use, Falco is too strong.
Falco says that there is no man alive who can scar him. Hazu gets up, and tells everyone not to move. If they do, he'll blow them all away!
Kenshiro makes his way through a canyon, but then has to take action when several spears burst out of the ground. He gets the Black King to jump over them, but then has to punch some spears that are launched at him from above. On a cliff, Ein is the one responsible.
Kenshiro leaps up, and gets behind Ein. Ein immediately tries to punch him, but Kenshiro avoids every one of his attacks. Ein ends up punching the side of a cliff.
Turns out doing that really hurts! Kenshiro tells him to not get involved nay further in all this, and starts to walk away. Ein asks to just let him take his head -if he gets killed by Falco, he's worth nothing. Kenshiro asks who Falco is, so Ein explains he's the strongest man of the Source Star imperial fist.
Kenshiro tells him he doesn't have time for this, and jumps down. He lands on his horse, and rides off. Ein swears that the next time he sees Kenshiro, he'll take his head for sure.
Meanwhile, Hazu continues to threaten to use the bomb. He tells the North Star army to run, so Bat orders everyone to retreat. Gill tells his brother he'll go to hell with him, but Hazu tells him to move back as well. He says that this is the end for himself, his ribs have pierced into his lungs. He wants to take Falco with him, but there's no need for his brother to die. Gill doesn't want to go.
Hazu tells Bat to take Gill with him, then kicks him away. As he does, several spears are thrown into Hazu. Bat and another guy move Gill back.
Hazu removes the spears from himself, and says that as a warrior of the South Star, death won't come that easy. He tells the others to hurry and go, and to leave the rest to him. Gill still doesn't want to go, as they'd promised each other that they would die together. Hazu tells him not to cry or regret, as he can still take Falco with him. Gill gets dragged back.
Hazu goes to strike the bomb, only for Falco to use an energy blast to break the hammer Hazu is using.
Hazu is then hit by several more spears, which kill him. As he drops down dead, Falco starts to walk away. But then Gill runs forward.
He gets hit by spears, but batters them out of the way, before doing the same thing to several of Falco's men. He screams that the soul of the South Star won't disappear, and jumps up, before smashing his head onto the bomb.
There is then a huge explosion, and by the time the smoke clears away, nothing is left of Hazu or Gill. All of Falco's men have also been wiped out, and Falco seems to have disappeared as well. Bat tells Hazu and Gill that it was a remarkable final moment. Lin thanks them, and thinks their deaths won't be in vain.
Kenshiro then arrives, and sees that Lin and Bat are safe. But they then see someone emerge from a pile of bodies: Falco. Lin says that Falco's forces sacrificed their lives to protect him.
Bat sees one of Falco's men barely alive, and asks him why they did this. The soldier says that it is his absolute pleasure to die for the general. Bat thinks he's insane, as Falco hasn't shed a single tear for any of them. The soldier says that Lord Falco has already cried for them, until his tears dried up. Lord Falco is the light that moves their hearts! As Falco walks away, Kenshiro wonders what secret Falco holds.
