The Burning Crimson Army!
Shuren is Drenched in Tears of Flame!!

At his castle, Shuren receives a message, informing him that Huey has fallen. Shuren says he will honor Huey's death, and tells everyone to start a fire. He wants to make this castle a funeral pyre for Huey.

The castle is soon completely on fire. Shuren tells his army that the time has come at least for the crimson army to take action -they shall get revenge for Huey! This place not only burns for Huey, but it also represents Shuren's own rage. Now that the castle is engulfed with flames, they have no home to return to. He screams that their enemy is the Fist King, and then tells everyone to move out.

At the South Star capital, Rihaku tells the last general that the death of the Wind has only made the Flame burn higher. Shuren of the Flame has now moved out, and the crimson flame consumes all. He is sure that Shuren will finish the Fist King. Elsewhere, the Fist King is marching through a desert with his army. He thinks about how Kenshiro isn't the only one who made a move, as now so has the last general of the South Star. He knows that the five chariot stars represent the wind, the clouds, the flames, the mountains and the ocean. He wonders who will move next.

Out in the desert, Bat thinks this is a great day for a drive. Lin just wishes the world were as peaceful as this weather. Bat says that they'll never have real peace until the Fist King is defeated. Nearby, someone else is out for a drive.

It's Morgan who is behind the wheel, but his driving ability leaves a lot to be desired. He ends up crashing, and then flipping his car over. As he gets out, some of his men follow on their bikes, and ask him if he's alright. He grabs two of them and bashes their heads together.

He then gets annoyed with the other guy, who was the one who last serviced his car. He believes the handling was off, and when the guy questions this, Morgan gets even more angered -is he trying to suggest his driving technique us bad? The guy claims he didn't mean that, but Morgan crushes him to death.

He then tells the other two to get his car started again. A little later, Kenshiro's group come across Morgan's. Due to Morgan swerving all over the place, Bat can't get past. Bat wonders what the hold up is, but Lin tells him not to do anything reckless. Bat thinks he has no choice.

He eventually manages to get past Morgan, and waves goodbye to him. Morgan isn't happy someone passed him, and tries to speed up.

However, his car sputters and comes to a stop -he's out of gas! He orders his men to capture that buggy, as he won't allow any cars to pass him! The two drive away on their bikes.

However, later on they report back to Morgan, and say that they've lost sight of the buggy. Morgan says how dare they call themselves members of the Fist King's vanguard forces. A car faster than his own is not allowed to exist in this world, and orders them not to come back until they find that buggy and smash it up. If they fail, they'll have to face the guys with wrecking hammers.

Later on, Kenshiro's group have setup camp for the night. Lin tells Bat that he shouldn't lie down right after eating, but Bat says he feels great. Nearby, the two guys have discovered the buggy, and decide dragging it over and setting it on fire is the best option. One of them attaches a hook to the back of the buggy...

...and they slowly drag it back. A few moments later, the buggy has been set on fire.

Bat runs over, but it's too late for him to do anything. The two guys say this is what he gets for passing Lord Morgan's car, and then drive away on their bikes. Bat is distraught.

The next morning, Kenshiro's group arrive in the town where Morgan is supposed to be. Lin thinks it's a ghost town, but Kenshiro says that all the towns the Fist King rules are all the same. In the town, Morgan is out on his morning drive, and tells all the villagers to get out of the way -unless they want to be run over.

He hits a rock which causes his car to go out of control, and he ends up driving into a wall. He gets out and pulls his car back.

He sees two villagers, and blames them for building this stupid wall here. They say they have nothing to do with it, but Morgan says it's their fault, and proceeds to crush their heads.

A villager pleads for Morgan to stop these cruel punishments. He knows the car is important to Morgan, but he's using it to kill villagers every single day. Morgan tells him to shut up and stay out of this, and then kicks him away. He says that their lives are worth nothing when compared to his car. He gets back in the car and drives off.

Bat and Lin check on the villager, and he explains that ever since Lord Morgan came here, the lives of many villagers have been lost daily. He himself has lost his own daughter, and his grandson, because Morgan ran them over. Before he can say any more, he is killed when an arrow strikes him in the back.

Two of Morgan's men are the ones who did it, who say the old guy was saying too much. They then recognize Bat and Lin as the ones who had that car they'd torched. Bat wants to fight, but they then notice that Morgan has arrived. Morgan demands for everyone to get out of his way -anyone who touches his car will get it good.

He then notices Kenshiro stood in the middle of the road, and believes he must want to get run over. He speeds up and heads straight towards him, saying he'll flatten him.

Kenshiro grabs the car, and eventually gets it to stop. Morgan gets out, not pleased that Kenshiro caused his car to get dirty.

He summons his men, who surround Kenshiro. Bat sees this as his chance, and runs off. Morgan tells his men to put Kenshiro on the scrap heap, whilst he sees to his car. As his men start to fight, Morgan cleans up his car. But then everything goes quiet.

He turns around and sees that his men have all been killed, and he wonders if this is the North Star divine fist. Kenshiro asks him what he's going to do about it, and Morgan realizes who it is he's gone up against. Kenshiro tells him he's next.

Morgan then calls out for the Wreckers, and tells them to scrap this guy with their hammers. The two guys jump down...

...but Kenshiro jumps up, and kicks their weapons out of their hands. As they all land, Kenshiro then strikes pressure points...

...on both of them. As they stumble back, their heads are about to explode, but then their hammers drop down and crush both of them.

Morgan says he's going to tell Lord Fist King, and says farewell. He drives past Kenshiro, but Kenshiro then sees Bat. Bat says he's played a little trick, and reveals that he's taken out some parts of Morgan's car.

Morgan is racing away when suddenly he pulls the steering wheel out. He loses control, and dies when his car crashes and explodes. Bat thinks it serves him right -that's revenge for his buggy. Lin thinks Bat overdid it.

Elsewhere, some of the Fist King's forces are talking about once the Fist King rules the world, they'll get to do whatever they want. They are suddenly attacked by hundreds of flaming arrows, as Shuren and his army appear.

Shuren says that they guard the last general of the South Star six holy fists, and introduces himself. As he leaps down, two of the Fist King's guys say that if Shuren is from the five chariot stars, it means he has to die! They rush forward, but Shuren uses a technique:

GOSHA ENJOU KEN

(Five Chariot Passionate Flame Fist)

The two are set on fire, and split apart. One of Shuren's men that the Fist King's forces have been seen.

Shuren returns to the top of the cliff, and can see the Fist King in the distance. He knows that Huey was taken out by the Fist King with a single blow. He will teach the Fist King that the stronger the wind blows, the more furious the flames grow. He is determined to defeat the Fist King, and the flames of their rage will consume him, and burn him to ashes. He tells his men to prepare to attack, and promises Huey he will get revenge for him.
