Andy, Joe and Mai have gone to an airport. Joe wonders if they should look for Terry first, but Andy thinks his brother is fine. He's decided he's doing to Germany, so Joe decides he'll try and find Terry. He'll give him a call once he's found him, so Andy tells him to tell Terry that he'll get revenge for him. Joe then asks him to do something about Mai... they aren't going on a honeymoon! Mai says this is just for cover.



A girl suddenly comes up to Joe and gives him a letter, but she then immediately runs off before he can say anything to her. Joe says he must be more famous than he thought, could this be a fan letter, or maybe a love letter?!



Mai thinks it's more likely to be hate mail. Joe reads the letter, and says his search for Terry just got easier. Later on, Andy and Mai head to Germany via plane.



Meanwhile, Terry has been arrested, but is freed the next morning. As he leaves the police station, Tony sees him, but Joe then comes up. He says he never expected to see Terry like this.



Tony is initially excited at seeing Joe Higashi, as he's the Muay Thai champion. But Joe asks Terry what Andy would think of him if he saw him like this. He thinks he probably wouldn't even recognize him, and he punches Terry in the gut. Joe then says he has a message from Andy: he's going after Krauser.



Terry says Andy mustn't, he has to stay away from Krauser! Joe lets Terry fall, then asks him when he turned into such a coward. But he thinks to himself that Terry's really scared of Krauser, what kind of monster could he be? He then says that cowards disgust him, so if Terry wants to warn Andy, he should do it himself. Joe then heads off, whilst Terry wonders what to do.



In Germany, Andy and Mai are on a boat, and look at Krauser's castle. Mai says it looks deserted, so Andy decides they'll head back for now. But they aren't aware that Laurence has seen them.



Andy and Mai have gone to a cafe. Andy has found out that Krauser isn't even in the country, he's currently abroad, escorting the Queen of the Nottingham. He's going to be gone for at least a month, but Mai thinks that's lucky -it means that'll have plenty of time to enjoy their vacation! Andy says no, they'll gather some more information and then head home, as they can't waste their money waiting. Mai says she gets it -he doesn't want to spend time with her... she understands. He must still think of them as just childhood friends.



Andy changes his mind, and says they'll spend a few more days checking things out here. Mai says in that case, she's going shopping, as there's a lot she needs to get. As she walks off, Andy says Mai wears him out.



Mai looks at a dress and says it's gorgeous, but also risque... maybe she could use it as a last resort on Andy. But she then notices someone across the street staring at her, and asks who he is. It's Laurence, who introduces himself and says he's in charge of the castle during Lord Krauser's absence. He wants to know where her friend went, but Mai thinks he'd want to face her alone. Laurence tells her not to underestimate him, as his skills are only second to Lord Krauser's. He asks her to grant him a small request.



Later on, Andy starts searching for Mai. He sees one of her fans stuck in a tree, pointing towards some ruins. At the ruins, Mai tells Laurence that this place is depressing. Laurence asks why they have been sniffing around Krauser's castle -what are they after?



Mai claims they're just seeing the sights, as they're tourists. Laurence says he's not blind, so who put them up to this? He warns her that he can make her talk. Mai tells him he can try, but he shouldn't underestimate her just because she's a woman. Laurence says the vixen has finally revealed herself.



Mai says this is going to be fun, and does a quick costume change. She leaps up and then says she's Mai Shiranui, of the Shiranui school. Laurence says he agrees, this is going to be fun. He pulls out a sword, as Mai leaps towards him.



Laurence tries to slice Mai up, only for her to leap upwards. She throws two of her butterfly folding fans at him, but he slices them into pieces before they can hit him.



However Mai moves in and uses her dragon flame dance move, striking Laurence's face. As he gets knocked down, she says she's so sorry for getting him burned.



Laurence gets up and says he'll get her, and starts rapidly swinging his sword at her. Mai blocks his strikes with one of her fans, then leaps away. She hides behind one of the pillars.



She senses Laurence is behind her and tries to jump away, but he grabs her ankle and causes her to fall. He places his sword to her throat, and asks her what the best recipe is for fresh vixen.



Andy arrives at the ruins, but sees that Mai has been tied up to one of the pillars.



Laurence says it looks like Mai's accomplice has finally arrived. Andy asks him what he's done to Mai, and he says he punished her for overstepping her bounds. If that bothers him, he should come and teach him a lesson.



Before he can react, Andy dashes over and strikes him with his splitting shadow fist technique. He then follows this up by using his flying fist projectile, which hits Laurence's head.



As Laurence staggers back, Andy finishes him off with his ultimate move, the super rending blast bullet. Laurence smashes into a pillar, and as he weakly states that Andy is too strong, the pillar breaks apart, and falls into the water.



Andy frees Mai, who falls into his arms. She says she was so frightened, and he says it was his fault, so he's sorry. Mai says she forgives him, so Andy tells her they'll go home. As Andy carries Mai away, Mai thinks how lucky she is.



Elsewhere, Terry has gotten drunk again. Tony tells him to stop, as if he keeps this up, he'll end up getting arrested again. But someone then shoves him out of the way. Axel Hawk and his apprentice have appeared, and Axel challenges Terry to a fight. His apprentice says that Axel is the heavyweight boxing champ, and he's come all this way to talk to Terry, so he shouldn't ignore him. However, Axel takes a look at Terry, and thinks he looks half dead. Is this the real Terry Bogard?



Tony tells them to stop, and introduces himself as being Terry's first disciple. Axel's apprentice says that Bogard can't be that good, if he's taking in kids like Tony. Tony claims he could take him out easily, which gives Axel an idea. He tells his apprentice to go ahead and spar with Tony. The apprentice doesn't want to do it, as Tony is just a kid, but Axel tells him to do it.



The fight starts, but Tony is immediately taken down with two punches. Axel asks him what's wrong, as the fight has barely even started. Tony manages to get back up, and says the fight is for real this time.



He tries to attack again, but gets beaten up. Meanwhile, Terry remains asleep, dreaming about his youth. As a kid, he too was on the receiving end of a few punches...



Terry gets beaten down, and his opponent tells him not to bother him again unless he gets a lot stronger. Terry cries, thinking he has to get stronger, strong enough to avenge his father. Terry began training, and whilst he got beaten up a lot...



...he started getting stronger. He goes back to the karate practitioner for a rematch, and gets punched in the face again. But he remains standing, and smiles.



He then beats up his opponent. Back in the present, Terry wakes up. He sees Tony struggling to get up, but he manages to, saying he's not finished yet.



He hears Tony say that he won't lose. He looks at him and sees himself. Meanwhile, Axel's apprentice says he doesn't like this, he feels kind of sick. He decides to leave.



Axel tells Tony it looks like he's won. Tony says he did it, but then collapses. Terry goes over to him, and he says he won thanks to his good luck charm. He shows Terry his gloves, the ones he'd thrown away earlier. Terry asks Axel why he did this, and Axel says he was just trying to get his attention.



Terry puts his gloves back on, and says that Axel has been asking for this. Axel sees that it looks like he's finally waking up, but he can wait until he's sober if he wants. Terry says there's no need, so Axel goes to punch him.



He hits Terry in the face, but Terry just smiles. Axel goes for another punch, only for Terry to avoid it...



...and punch him back, taking him down with one hit. Before Axel passes out, he thinks he can't believe this... Terry was drunk just a minute ago. Tony says Terry is amazing, he really is the best!



Tony then wakes up, and finds himself in a sidecar. Terry asks him to hand him something from his bag. Tony opens the bag, and finds Terry's hat inside it.



Elsewhere, the Queen of Nottingham is parading through the streets. Krauser is watching from a hotel room, but then someone else enters. It's a waiter, who says he's bought Krauser his lunch.



Krauser thinks this is the perfect hotel, as there's even an assassin for entertainment. Joe sees that Krauser has seen through his disguise, so he rips it off. He introduces himself, and challenges Krauser to a fight.



Krauser says this place is boring, so he accepts his challenge. But he warns Joe he may regret this, as whatever he starts, he'll finish. He asks Joe if he's ready for this, and Joe says that whilst Terry may be scared to death of him, he'll give him a much better fight. Krauser thinks Joe's death will only depress Terry more. He wishes Joe luck.



Joe tells him to shut up, and tries to punch him, only for Krauser to block his strike, and then crush his hand. As he tosses Joe aside, he tells him that this is a hotel, and requests that he tries to keep the noise down.



Joe gets back up and leaps forward, using his tiger kick move. But Krauser stops this, and then throws Joe into the room's pool.



Krauser tells him that, once again, he's being far too loud. He asks him to leave before he ruins his good mood. Joe gets out of the pool and says no way, as he hasn't seen his most powerful attack yet. Krauser tells him he wants to see it.



Joe says this is his newest finishing move, and tells Krauser he's asked for this: the screw upper! He releases a massive hurricane inside the room.



Krauser stands his ground, and raises up one of his arms. The screw upper causes every window in the room to be blown to pieces.
