After surviving a surprise attack, Akira has the man behind it dead to rightsтАФbut explaining the situation to his fellow hunters wonтАЩt be easy. When Reina and Shiori arrive on the scene, they only see the young hunter pointing his rifle at an injured man. Accusations fly, and in the confusion, his wily cyborg opponent takes Reina hostage. Caving to the thiefтАЩs demands means certain deathтАФbut if Akira refuses, heтАЩll be turning his back on the people he fought side-by-side with just yesterday. And since Shiori would never abandon her beloved тАЬMiss Reina,тАЭ sheтАЩll become his enemy too. Can the ghostly AlphaтАЩs support see him through before her superhuman maneuvers wreck his bodyтАФor before the thiefтАЩs accomplices show up?
