The ruler of the century's end: the Fist King! Kenshiro's journey in the pursuit of the Fist King's shadow continues!

And who is the mysterious general of the South Star six holy fists? For the guardian star, one of the five chariot stars, Huey of the Wind, makes his move.

Shion: Brother?

Huey: It's from Rihaku.

Shion: Then... it's time.

Huey: Shion, prepare yourself. Calamity surrounds the North Star. The time has come for the five chariot stars to rise. I'll be the one to make the first move, for the last general of the South Star six holy fists.

David: You guys are...

Huey: You're one of the Fist King's men, aren't you?

David: No, I'm just a lackey, this wasn't my fault!

Huey: Make all the excuses you want in hell.

David: No, let me explain... agh!

Huey: Kenshiro of the North Star divine fist...

Kenshiro: And you are?

Huey: One of the five chariot stars, Huey of the Wind.

Preclude to a Death Match!
The Screams of Huey of the Wind Echoes in the Heavens!!

Raoh waits at the edge of a cliff. He thinks that the wind is moving fast, and wonders what Kenshiro is going to do. Kenshiro and Huey stare at each other, as Bat and Lin watch. They wonder if Huey is here to take Ken's life, but Lin thinks there's something different with Huey.

Huey says he wants to duel with Kenshiro, and sends out a wind blast that cuts Kenshiro's face. But Kenshiro doesn't flinch, so Huey tells him to take his stance. Kenshiro still does nothing, so Huey sends out another wind projectile. Kenshiro still doesn't move.

Huey warns Kenshiro that even if he refuses to fight, he'll take his life. He leaps forward and uses his five chariot wind split fist, but Kenshiro appears to jump through him.

Part of Huey's arm then explodes. Shion rides over and patches up Huey's arm. Hey tells Kenshiro that what he did was amazing, he sees that he really is the successor to the North Star divine fist. He explains that one of the South Star five chariot stars will come for him soon, but it won't be him. He says farewell to Kenshiro.

He and his army then leave. Bat and Lin go back to Kenshiro, whilst Kenshiro thinks about the South Star five chariot stars.

At the South Star capital, Rihaku is informed that the Fist King's assault squadron knows no rest -they will eventually come to this capital. Rihaku asks Tou if there has been any word from Huey. She says there hasn't been anything yet. Rihaku hopes Huey will carry out his task well.

Meanwhile, Huey's army attack another unit of the Fist King's men. Huey says to slaughter anyone who sides with the Fist King, and soon the unit is wiped out.

Nearby, four guys take cover behind a cliff. They wonder what to do, and think about running away. If they stay here they'll die, but they fear what would happen if the Fist King finds out they ran. One of them decides if they want to stay here and fight, they can, but he's getting out of here. The others decide to run with him, but as they move off, they get hit by a gust of wind.

Huey appears, and introduces himself. He leaps up and uses his technique to slice apart three of the men immediately.

Huey tells the other one that he has to die. The guy tries to attack, but gets sliced apart before he can get close. Huey calls for Shion to pull back, so Shion orders everyone else to move out.

Later on, a survivor makes his way back to Raoh's fortress. He tells him about what happened, and that it was the wind army who did it. He then dies, whilst Raoh thinks the wind army are fools for daring to oppose him.

As the wind army setup camp, Shion asks Huey how his arm is. Huey says it's fine. Shion then asks when they'll fight the Fist King, and Huey believes that if they keep attacking the Fist King's forces, then the Fist King himself is sure to appear -the battle is near.

The next morning, Bat is trying to repair his car. He says that the engine is all clogged with sand, so it won't run like this. Kenshiro thinks they'll have to walk, but Lin says she can see something moving out there.

They see someone running towards them. It's a woman, who is carrying her child. But two bikers then chase after her, and quickly cut her off. They tell her she has guts for trying to escape when the Fist King's assault squadron are around.

She explains that her child has a terrible fever, and asks to be allowed to go to a place that has medicinal herbs. One of them says no -the same goes for kids and adults. The other says they can't let anyone leave Lord Fist King's town.

They decide to kill them both, and one of them approaches her. But before he can strike her with an iron bar, something hits his face, causing his nose to bleed. Kenshiro has appeared, and says that's enough.

One of them tells him to get lost if he doesn't want to get hurt. Kenshiro walks towards them, and they think he doesn't know who he's dealing with. One of them starts poking him with his bar, so Kenshiro takes it and bends it out of shape.

The guy pulls out a knife and tries to attack him with it, but Kenshiro kicks it out of his hand. He then places the bar around him, picks him up, and tosses him aside. He lands head first into the sand.

The other guy tries to run Kenshiro over, but Kenshiro leaps up, and then strikes a pressure point on him. The guy comes to a stop, just as his buddy pulls his head out of the sand. He can only watch as the guy's head explodes. He wonders if this is that "North Star" stuff...

Kenshiro asks him what if it is. The guy decides that, in that case... farewell! He runs away. Kenshiro takes the mother and her child back to where Bat and Lin are.

The mother explains she wanted to at least try some medicinal herbs, but Kenshiro strikes a pressure point on the child instead. Lin says he'll be fine, and Kenshiro says he hit a pressure point that'll cause his fever to go down -he'll get better in time.

The mother thanks him, and calls Kenshiro the savior of the century's end. Kenshiro shakes his head and says he's just a man on a journey. For himself, and the North Star divine fist, this will be the final journey.

Elsewhere, Huey's army attack another of the Fist King's territories. The squad captain asks Huey if he's the one who has been attacking the Fist King's villages. Huey says that those who serve the Fist King will vanish with the wind.

The captain tries to attack, but Huey slices him into pieces. Shion then rides up, and says that the Fist King's main forces have arrived.

The wind army go out to meet them. Raoh asks for the fool are goes against him to say his name. Huey introduces himself, and says he is one of the five chariot stars. The chariot starts protect the polar star of the South Star. The North Star will never control the heavens -the one who will conquer all is their last general of the South Star six holy fists!

He says that the North Star endangers the South Star, and the time has come for Raoh to perish. He leaps forward, using his five chariot wind split fist. But his attacks can't even scratch Raoh.

"Fist King! Your life is over now!"



"Your worthless fists can't even scratch my body!"

Raoh does a single punch, which strikes Huey and sends him crashing back to the ground. Huey says the Fist King is much stronger than he'd imagined, but his fate ends here. The South Star five chariot stars will defeat him... and he'll be waiting for him in hell.

As Huey dies, Shion is about to move in, but another guy stops him. He says that their duty is to draw out their enemy, and see through his might. Lord Huey has given his life to accomplish that. He tells Shion to go back and report to Lord Rihaku about Huey's death, and the Fist King's great power. It's for the last general of the South Star six holy fists. He then tells the rest of the army that they must buy time for Lord Shion.

They head towards Raoh, whilst Shion rides away in the opposite direction. Shion says no matter what'll happen, he will report back to Lord Rihaku without fail. Later on, Rihaku is informed there still has been no word from Huey.

Shion then stumbles into the room, and says that Huey was struck down with a single blow. As he falls, they see he has several arrows in his back. Tou sees to him, and Rihaku tells him he has carried out the Wind's duty well, but he then dies from his injuries. Rihaku realizes the Fist King is far beyond what he thought.
