Austad, one of the Four Elders of Panzerkunst, moves to unify Mars and restore the Great Martian Empire of Mawors. Yoko and Erika, having at last passed through the gates of Panzerkunst, find themselves caught in a storm of conflict that sweeps across the entire solar system. This story picks up four years after the events of Mars Chronicle, continuing directly from where the previous series left off. Yoko, the young cyborg who will one day become Alita, and her childhood companion Erika have completed their foundational training in the legendary cyborg martial art. The narrative delves into the inner workings of the Panzerkunst order, its Four Elders, and the political machinations on Mars as the planet hurtles toward reunification under the banner of the old empire. The first major story arc, the Panzer Kunst Training Arc, establishes the new status quo for Yoko and Erika as they navigate a solar system in upheaval, with the ambitions of Austad and the weight of their own inherited combat legacy pushing them toward an uncertain future.
