Tinsel City
Plot
The year: 2032. The place: MegaTokyo. While the night heats up for clubgoers as rock singer Priss and the Replicants perform on stage, an emergency calls AD Police Officer Leon away from the club. The case: a merciless, killer Boomer is on the loose! Bursting from its synthetic flesh to reveal a hulking beast of a machine, this new "C-Class" Boomer doesn't hesitate as it wipes out the AD Police, taking down armored vehicles and helicopters left and right. Enter four mysterious fighters in highly-advanced hardsuits. Using precision, teamwork, and superior weaponry, they are able to turn the tables on the Boomer and demolish it. These fighters are the Knight Sabers, a team of female mercenaries consisting of Sylia, Priss, Linna, and Nene. But to the public, their identities remain a secret. Not even Leon, who attempts to score dinner with Priss, knows the truth.
Soon, the USSD Space Defense Force contacts the Knight Sabers with a 20 million dollar offer. The job is seemingly simple: to track down a former USSD computer technician named F.G. Frederick and a six-year girl named Cynthia who has supposedly been abducted by Boomers. But Sylia suspects there's more to this than what meets the eye. It turns out this job also involves a particle-beam satellite defense weapon, the powerful mega-corporation Genom, and not to mention the real connection between Frederick, Cynthia, and the Boomers...

Born to Kill
Plot
After the destruction of Aqua City in the previous episode, Genom recovers the USSD's precious "Black Box," a particle-beam satellite synchronization system, from the bottom of the ocean. But their attempt to install it in a new Boomer goes awry when an explosion takes out their lab. Naturally, the press gathers in front of the Genom building where Genom executive Brian J. Mason makes a public appearance. Priss and Linna watch from the crowd when a young woman named Irene Chang, whom Linna recognizes, suddenly breaks through the police line and accuses the Genom leaders of murder. Immediately, a female Genom executive hits her. Priss retaliates, but the executive effortlessly blocks her punch... and nearly crushes her hand! Priss knows she's dealing with a Boomer, but Leon ends the confrontation. It is not before long that Leon learns from his chief that the Genon case is closed.
Later, the USSD contacts Sylia again requesting the Knight Sabers retrieve the Black Box, and the girls get to work searching for clues that may implicate Genom's involvement. Meanwhile, in Linna's aerobics class, Linna learns from Irene that her boyfriend did research work on Boomers, but grew nervous during his latest project right before his demise in the lab explosion. Irene vows to uncover the truth, but Mason doesn't plan to let her get away so easily. Linna consoles Irene and they spend the day together in Chinatown, yet one of Genom's Boomers lurks not far behind.

Blow Up
Plot
Brian Mason and other Genom executives watch smugly from within their tower as a new combat Boomer is put to the test on the streets. A trail of destruction ensues as it slaughters the AD Police. Priss and Linna attempt to race to the scene, but only Priss makes it (Linna's car won't start), and she catches up with Leon just in time before the Boomer is subdued. While this event leaves the girls on a sour note -- Sylia's store has been destroyed in the chaos, Priss gets a speeding ticket, and Nene gets flack for letting Priss through a roadblock, things eventually calm down and Priss spends the evening with some friends: a young boy named Sho and his mother, a widow. At Sho's birthday dinner, Priss learns of Sho's mother's hopeful dreams of moving to the countryside one day.
The next morning, things abruptly change as Priss finds Sho, his mother, and a bunch of local residents outside in protest. It turns out that Mason has purchased their land from the government and everyone is being evicted from their homes. Not even Leon can stop Mason now. But when the demolition results in a fatal casualty, the Knight Sabers set off to the Genom headquarters to put an end to the company's reign.

Revenge Road
Plot
The mysterious driver of a suped-up Griffon sports car is out hunting down motorcycle riders in the city. Not even Priss can keep up with him as she crashes her bike while trying to catch him. Yet, when this mysterious driver is not behind the wheel, he's haunted by nightmares of himself and his girlfriend being attacked by a speeding biker gang. As his nightmare intensifies, his girlfriend can only keep by his side in silence.
At the hospital, Linna insists that Priss get a full checkup following her injury. There, the girls unknowingly encounter the Griffon driver and his girlfriend who has a sudden breakdown at the sound of passing motorbikes -- yet another clue into their past. Covertly, Priss and Nene check the AD Police database to discover a classified file revealing the true identity of the driver as well as his encounter with a motorcycle gang known as the Outriders. Later that night, a high speed chase breaks out between him and the cops, but when the Griffon speeds out of control, it's up to the Knight Sabers to take action.
