Jun the Swan’s disguise has been cast aside. Now, she is hunted and alone in an enemy base… and the corridors crawl with treacherous Devil Star operatives. With the odds stacked against her, is she able to rescue the hostages and escape? Elsewhere, both the Ninja Team and the Beta Team have their own conflicts to surmount. Another exciting issue that expands upon the original anime series!

Posing as an agent of Galactor, Jun embarks on a dangerous mission. Her objectives: locate the enemy’s secret headquarters and facilitate the rescue of the scientists-turned-hostage. The rest of the team eagerly awaits her findings to provide backup, but a much bigger threat requires their aid. So many villains, so little time!

A sickness grows within Galactor. It’s not one of the usual rivals seeking to replace Berg Katse’s command, but an infestation that goes back to the organization’s earliest days. Berg’s secret is out, and mafiosos are out to kill him. An attack on him is an attack on Galactor… and the only solution is extermination. The action and intrigue continue in a thrilling second issue!
