A FIREFIGHT ACROSS THE GENERATION GAP! Nanotechnology made humanity immortal, and the resulting population explosion pushed the Solar System’s resources to the breaking point. As a result, new births are banned and even the planets’ disparate governments cooperate to annihilate any children already born. With the tournament looming, Alita and her comrades find themselves caught between a spacefaring refuge for young innocents and a bloodthirsty mob intent on killing the children for sport!

Back with Ido again, life appears peaceful for Alita--until she learns that her former bounty-hunting companion Zapan is now a wanted man seeking unfair vengeance against her! Ido, meanwhile, follows the trail of transactions surrounding Alita's old Berserker body to the exiled Zalemite scientist Desty Nova. When Nova gives Zapan the body, it turns him into a demon sowing chaos everywhere. The "Zapan" arc is chock-full of rage, love, and pathos!!
