Overview
MegaTokyo 2033: Tokyo was left flattened as a result from a great earthquake. A new city, MegaTokyo, was then recreated due in no small part from the aid of a multi-million dollar company, Genom Corp. Genom created and mass-produced biomechanical creatures called Boomers to aid in the restoration of MegaTokyo. When the Boomers began to run out of control, the ADPolice at first tried to stop them, but they proved to be far more difficult to deal with than was first imagined. Under the ever looming Boomer threat, a group of four girls from varying degrees of society banded together. Calling themselves The Knight Sabers, they were the only ones with enough firepower and resourcefullness to defend the fledgling MegaTokyo from Genom and it's berserk Boomers.

Episode 3: Blow Up
Part 3: GENOM's Boomers are terrorizing MegaTokyo and the AD Police is helpless, or rather useless, to stop them.

Episode 4: Revenge Road
A year later and there's not been much action from GENOM for the Knight Sabers. But now there's a strange new car called the Griffon that's terrorizing bike gangs in the city.

Episode 5: Moonlight Rambler
There's a lot of trouble brewing over MegaTokyo, as the space island Genaro is recoiling over the loss of their shuttle and weapons, and the exposure of their ties with GENOM.
