With burning ambitions, the Fist King's conquest of the century's end is within sight. However, the men of the five chariot stars have appeared to stop him.



Huey of the Wind challenged the Fist King, and was defeated. And now, Shuren of the Flame will take on the Fist King.

Shuren: Attack!

Shuren: So that's the Fist King. I, Shuren of the Flame, will defeat you! The flames of our rage will consume you and burn you to ashes! My fellow men, attack with caution! Huey... I promise I shall avenge you!



And who is the last general of the South Star six holy fists, who holds the destiny of the five chariot stars?




Five Chariot Stars in Danger!
Raoh Has Finally Pierced Through the Flames!!



Raoh orders his men to march straight forward, and they enter a canyon. As they continue to march they're suddenly hit by a blast of wind.



Raoh wonders if Huey is still daring to defy him, even in death. The wind suddenly dies down, but then everyone notices that parts of the canyon are on fire. The mountain itself seems to be ablaze.



Suddenly, many flaming arrows are shot out, killing several of Raoh's men. Raoh yells at them to clam down, as they are the Fist King's men. He grabs one of the arrows and yells that he won't run, and tells whoever is there to show themselves.



He then uses his aura to freeze the arrows in midair, and make them drop to the ground. Shuren tells his men to stop firing, and sees the Fist King. He tells him that he killed Huey of the Wind, and then introduces himself.



Raoh sees that after the Wind has come the Flame. Raoh thinks he's a fool, as anyone who gets in the way of his advance shall only encounter death. Shuren says they'll stop his advance, even at the cost of their lives. Raoh asks him if he's the only one who's made their move, but he reveals that the Mountain is already on the move. He then tells Raoh that the Mountain has moved towards Kenshiro.



Elsewhere, Kenshiro's group are walking through a desert. Bat asks if they can take a break, as he can't walk anymore. His buggy's busted, and he has no more water... it's just not his day. Lin then points out there is a village nearby.



At the village, some of the Fist King's men have scrounged up some food, and start to eat it. But then a dog suddenly jumps up and steals a piece. As the dog runs off, the men run after him.



They see the dog run into a house, and follow him inside. But as they start to search the place, they realize they aren't alone: there's someone else in here!



They quickly scramble back out, along with the dog. As they do, the man, Fudou of the Mountain, bursts out of the house. Fudou says he had a good sleep.



The men remember that their orders from the Fist King were to kill anyone who's suspicious. One of them eventually tries to attack, and hits Fudou's foot a few times. Fudou falls down, and seems to be in pain.



The men wonder what's going on, but quickly realize this guy is nothing to worry about. They all start attacking Fudou together, and he doesn't fight back. Nearby, Kenshiro's group arrive in the village, but nobody seems to be there.



They then hear something, and see someone heading their way. Kenshiro grabs Bat and Lin and jumps out of the way with them, as Fudou crashes through a building. The Fist King's men all run out after him. They are annoyed at a big guy like him walking around, so they've decided to kill him right here.



Lin asks Ken to help the man. One of the soldiers pulls out a knife, and is about to stab Fudou with it, but he ends up stabbing into his own head.



Kenshiro is the one who did it. One of the soldiers gets in his face, and tells him if he knows how much trouble he's in -they're the Fist King's army! Kenshiro says he knows that the Fist King's army are thugs, so he can't let them go. The guy tries to attack him, but Kenshiro punches him in the jaw...



...breaking it. He quickly beats up all of the others, leaving just two alive.



They decide to run for it. Lin and Bat see to Fudou, and he thanks them for saving him.



Bat thinks a guy like Fudou is a bit pathetic for having a body like that. He won't survive in this world if he acts like that. Fudou agrees with that. Meanwhile, at the South Star capital, Tou tells her father that they've received a message. Rihaku reads that the Mountain has moved. Tou says that the Mountain has gone to Kenshiro, whilst the Flame has gone to the Fist King. Rihaku says that they, the five chariot stars, must guard their general by all means.



Meanwhile, Shuren tells his men that there's no need for them to fire. The Fist King's men were all forced to pledge loyalty, and if the Fist King is defeated, they will disband. Raoh tells him he can see for himself the strength of his men, who are driven by fear. If these men try to retreat, he'll kill them. He orders two of his men to go, and they immediately run towards Shuren.



They try to strike Shuren, but he evades their attacks. He grabs them by their faces, and hits them with some flames.



As they stumble back, Shuren says it's useless. He uses his passionate flame fist technique, and says that those who dare to touch him will be engulfed in flames of rage. The two men get set on fire, and split apart.



Shuren says that if the Fist King makes him his enemy, he won't live for long. This is the revenge for Huey, and for the general! He jumps down and screams that the Fist King will perish in the flames of his own ambitions. He then emits flames from his hands, and says he'll turn his wicked ambitions into ashes!



He sends out a fiery blast, but Raoh blocks it. However, this was just a distraction -Shuren leaps over Raoh, and goes to strike him from behind.



Raoh quickly turns around, and blocks his strike. He then crushes his fist. Shuren tries to kick him, but Raoh snaps his leg with just one punch.



Shuren falls down, as his army jump down after him. Raoh asks him if he through his fists would work against the Fist King. Shuren's army want to take the Fist King on, but he tells them to stay back. No matter how many of them attack, they can't defeat him. He understands now why Huey was killed with a single blow, but he will still stop the Fist King's advance with his own life.



Raoh thinks he and his men are just weak trash, and they should just leave. Shuren stands back up, and raises his arms up. He suddenly emits a powerful aura.



This scares the Black King, and as Raoh gets him back under control, Shuren leaps forward. He screams that the Fist King will burn to death with him, and lands on his horse. He places his hands on Raoh, and sets him on fire.



Raoh asks Shuren what gives him this determination. Shuren says that it's for their general's eternal light, and if the Fist King were to stand before their general, the eternal light would be drenched in tears. He won't let that happen, no matter what. Raoh starts to emit his own aura.



He grabs Shuren by the head, and tells him his flame isn't strong enough to burn his ambitions to ash. He snaps Shuren's neck and then crushes his head, before throwing him back to the ground.



Raoh's forces see that their leader has not been hurt at all. Raoh says Shuren was indeed a man of the Flame, and his passion has moved the five chariot starts this far. All for the last general of the South Star six holy fists...



At the South Star capital, a star shoots across the sky. Tou says another star has fallen, whilst Rihaku says that the Flame has burned out.



Elsewhere, Kenshiro's group has been joined by Fudou. Bat says he has a blister, whilst Lin thinks all he does is complain. Suddenly, they both get grabbed.



Fudou places them on his shoulders, and says it's easier for them this way. Bat says he's no kid, but as he moves around, he reveals that Fudou is one of the five chariot stars -he has the star tattoo on his arm. The group continue to walk on.
