Warblade is seen watching the TV in a gym as the present martial arts champion struts his stuff. Reno gets angry and breaks several boards with his hands (this is when his hands are blades). Zealot walks in and tells him that fighting a human isn't fair when you're and alien with super strength. Warblade retorts saying: ""I don't need these to defeat him."" After a while, Reno leaves Halo for Japan to chalenge the martial arts champion. While he's gone, the deamonites blow something up catching the atention of the WildCATS. They leave to figure out what happened and Pike sneaks in and takes out Void. He then attacks Marlowe. Pike leaves Marlowe alone on the floor thinking the old man is dead, but after Pike leaves, Marlowe (weak from fighting Pike) calls Reno (who's just about to begin his match against the martial arts champion). Reno hears Marlowe's call and and transforms into Warblade in front of everybody. He leaps off leaving a word of advise to the champion: ""I'll be back.""
War breaks out between the fictional countries of Yurgovia and Lucitain. HALO Enterprises coincidentally has its European headquarters there. Warblade and Zealot spar in a ""Danger Room"" type setting. She easily defeats him. She chides him for his human weaknesses. Warblade, angered by her cutting remarks stalks out. Grifter tries to explain the human condition to Zealot but it falls on deaf ears. Jacob Marlowe summons the WildCATs after an ""earthquake"" destroys HALO's European headquarters in Lucitain. Void suspects the earthquake is not natural. She suspects the earthquake to be a secret weapon of the Yurgovians. The WildCATs teleport to Lucitain. Spartan leads the 'CATs into the front lines. They easily stop the Yurgovian troops until the coda arrive. The Yurgovians retreat. A lone Coda attacks Spartan from the back and retreats. Zealot, shocked at seeing the Coda pursues her. Grifter attempts to stop her, unsuccessfully. Spartan decides not to go after Zealot.
