Synopsis: With the Beast threat growing, the Alliance once again tries to convince Lord Mantle of Planet Rock to join the fight. But treachery from within sabotages the negotiations. All seems lost until the Young Prince Pyrus and Zera crash on the planet Remora, and discover the "dead" world's secret. Armed with the knowledge that may well give them their victory, the Alliance begins its assault on the Beast's home base. Though their united affront seems to be working, it is only a matter of time before the planet Remora reveals its true nature-transforming into a Giant Killing sphere that could deal the final, crushing blow to the heroic rebel forces!

Synopsis - Someone has turned the universe upside down! Millie and NiNa are adrift in space! Rail Claymore is running for his life! Kain is hiding out! And Kali has just taken over the Universal Guardians! The only thing that could make matters worse is if an evil rival suddenly destroyed Swordbreaker. Oops. Maybe we spoke too soon. If only Grandma was here. She always knew what to do. At least until she was killed by the same villains who are out to get Kain right now. Things look bad, but the psi-blade master never says "die". Surely Kain will come out on top as he always has. There's no such thing as an invincible villain. Is there?

Synopsis - The Nightmare Syndicate has done some pretty rotten things in their day. They've created an intricate web of mafias and crime organizations that rob the galaxy blind. They've unleashed their pirates on an unsuspecting population. And they've infiltrated the very highest levels of the galaxy's Last Hope: The Universal Guardians. But all of these crimes pale in comparison to what they did to Kain's Grandma. As far as he's concerned it's payback time and he won't rest until he's cleaned out the whole operation. With Millie and Canal distracted by Rail's problems, he'll have to go it alone. But a real Trouble Shooter wouldn't have it any other way!
