Back of a coin
1998-08-1125 min
It's been a week since Katsumi has last spoken to Roy, but if she's the one who chose to end the relationship, why does she look so glum? It's both their day off today, and though they were originally supposed to spend it together, Katsumi is now sitting alone in a diner, drowning her sorrows in a plate of cookies. Unfortunately, Lum Cheng -- the only person she'd want to see less than Roy at this point -- comes into the restaurant and sits in the booth behind her. Lum Cheng has a thing for Roy, and Katsumi is shocked that she isn't out with him right now, especially since after dumping him…
1Awake1998-04-0725 minThe year is 2024, and it's a rainy night in Tokyo. Getting soaked is the least of one man's troubles, however, as he is fleeing from something that has him visibly shaken. One wrong turn down an alley, and the man becomes a bloody crime scene, courtesy of a towering, shadowy figure. Two detectives converge on the alley to collect evidence, but they're interrupted by four females belonging to AMP (the Attacked Mystification Police Department), a division of the Tokyo police force. Judging from how they are greeted by the two male cops, their organization doesn't command much respect from…2Decide1998-04-1425 minHaunted by visions of her deceased mother, Katsumi Liqueur heads off to Tokyo at the request of Rally Cheyenne, a police officer who claims to have information concerning her mother's mysterious death several years earlier. Expecting a smooth landing, Katsumi instead notices the Lucifer Hawk that sensed her arrival to the city standing on the wing of her plane. She awakens to burning pieces of the aircraft -- and to the creature as well, which chases her down and corners her. The members of AMP arrive just in time, but their efforts to control the Lucifer Hawk are for the most part…3Tokyo Underground1998-04-2125 minUpset over the real reason Rally Cheyenne brought her to Tokyo. Despite what they thought was an adequate barrier against the Lucifer Hawk, one manages to penetrate AMP's defenses and make contact with a sleeping Katsumi. By the time two officers reach her room, a category-three Lucifer Hawk has already shown Katsumi secrets from her past. What she learns is apparently interesting enough to make her go to police headquarters with her two AMP bodyguards. While there, she again meets up with the creature that offered her a glimpse into her past. To the dismay of AMP, she seemingly decides to…4Brake-In1998-04-2825 minAlthough Katsumi has been invited by Rally Cheyenne to join AMP, she still needs police training. And based on her abysmal performance, she'll need all the help she can get. A police sergeant just back from suspension is assigned to act as her tutor. He has his work cut out for him. Though they crash land in the most dangerous part of the city, Katsumi is able to carry her injured and unconscious partner to safety, barely eluding a gang of masked criminals with a particularly strong hatred for cops. The sergeant never thought she'd get as far as she did, which can only mean that her training…5Let’s Have A Party1998-05-0525 minKatsumi isn't on the job very long before she starts making waves, as her disregard for orders incurs the wrath of both her superior and teammates. Though she truly believed she was capable of confronting a Lucifer Hawk on her own, the only thanks she receives comes in the form of a stern reprimand from Rally Cheyenne and a cold shoulder from the others. How does Katsumi respond? By again striking out on her own to chase down a Lucifer Hawk. This time, however, she walks right into an ambush and is quickly surrounded by far more of the creatures than she can possibly handle on her own. Yuki…6Megadyne1998-05-1225 minThe Lucifer Hawks haven't shown their faces much lately, which means a lot of sitting around for the AMP. Most of the group relishes this rare opportunity to relax, but Kiddy, the muscle behind the group, gets antsy when she isn't killing something. Luckily for her, Sergeant Ralph Bombers is heading her way in the corridor. She has already choked him twice during the course of AMP's investigations, and she also beat him up at their recent party, throwing him into a pile of garbage for good measure. For some reason, Bombers still hasn't learned his lesson. He just loves to get under her skin…7Kagome Kagome1998-05-1925 minThough things got off to a rocky start, Kiddy's relationship with Sergeant Ralph Bombers seems to be working out, or at least that's what the grin on her face at work would lead her AMP teammates to believe. Emerging from yet another daydream, Kiddy finds the rest of the group laughing at her giddiness, and she's none too happy about it. She needn't be embarrassed for very long, however, as attention shifts toward Nami Yamigumo's shocking revelation that she never even thinks about having a boyfriend. Nami usually keeps her feelings bottled up, but this statement is far too interesting not to…8Yes, My Master!1998-05-2625 minThe category three Lucifer Hawk that has appeared to Katsumi Liqueur twice in the past has resurfaced, still intent of bringing her back to his world. The outcome of their rooftop battle is different from the last time they met, however, as the creature has had ample time to analyze her powers, meaning Katsumi's spells are no longer effective. The Lucifer Hawk also swore after their last confrontation that he would show no mercy the next time they met, and he's got Katsumi right where he wants her, dangling helplessly from the end of a pole. At the last possible second, Katsumi uses her…9Tokyo Antique1998-06-0225 minAn encounter with a category three Lucifer Hawk leaves Katsumi badly injured, but the hospital is the safest place for her to be, considering that the creature is still on her trail. A strange voice in her head, however, prompts Katsumi to leave behind the AMP protective barrier that surrounds the building, an action that places her in grave danger. Surprisingly, the voice does not belong to the Lucifer Hawk, but rather to Grosspoliner, the mystical sword that once belonged to her father. Freeing Grosspoliner from the tower that has served as its prison since the turn of the century, Katsumi…10XRP-771998-06-0925 minThree little girls have escaped from a prison-like facility, but they aren't safe yet, as the vehicle in pursuit is unwilling to let them go so easily. One of the girls points to the city of Tokyo across the bay, and tells the other two, named Lisa and Hiroko, that there are people there who can help them. Despite the rough seas in front of them, death is apparently a better fate than what they just left behind, and they jump in. It turns out that the third girl instructing them to jump was Yuki, whose bubbly demeanor belies this troubled past. The smile leaves her face, however, when she…11Alice in Logic-space1998-06-1625 minThough they take their jobs very seriously, the officers of the AMP are always up for a good party, and judging from the looks of Lebia's apartment, this was a good one. The hostess is at her computer and compulsive neat freak Nami is attempting to clean up the mess, but their other four teammates are all passed out around the pool. When they do eventually awaken, however, the chaos that is going on outside Lebia's window will quickly make them forget any hangover they may have incurred from the previous night's festivities. Thanks to an unknown hacker, every computer system in Tokyo has…12Sister1998-06-2325 minAfter laying low for a little while, the Lucifer Hawks are back, and their feeding frenzies are more numerous than ever. When a woman is cornered and killed in an alley, it marks the fifteenth such incident this month alone, meaning the AMP will soon need outside help if the frequency of attacks doesn't let up. Katsumi, meanwhile, is out on a date with Roy, but the recent murder spree is weighing heavily on his mind, and all he can talk about is his job. Their time together is mercifully cut short when they both receive a phone call from work, which for Katsumi means yet another rash of…13Category IV1998-06-3025 minRosa, Rally Cheyenne's sister, arrives at AMP headquarters after a long absence, but it's only with the intent of destroying both the AMP and its leader. Rally is able to overcome her evil sibling, but not before she reveals to the officers of the AMP that their leader is half Lucifer Hawk. Choosing to believe that Rally is more human than bloodthirsty creature, they all pledge to continue to follow her, with one notable exception. Rosa also tells Katsumi that she possesses Lucifer Hawk blood as well, and the revelation proves too much to bear, as Katsumi runs off, resigning from the team in…14Möbius Klein1998-07-0725 minTroubled by the news that she is half Lucifer Hawk, Katsumi runs away from the AMP and six months later, she seems to have finally gotten her life in order. That serenity will disappear in an instant, however, when she comes to the aid of three men attacked by a Lucifer Hawk on the beach near her home. Instead of being grateful, the men turn on Katsumi, assuming correctly that she is a category four Lucifer Hawk, the offspring of creature and human. She's whisked away to safety by the very creature that she just injured, but their hiding place is soon discovered. In an effort to save Katsumi…15Lum Cheng1998-07-1425 minThe war with the Lucifer Hawks has taken a turn for the worse. The Lucifer Hawks have joined forces with humans looking for food. The Ghouls -- the gang that terrorized Katsumi and Roy during her training -- rob and beat an unsuspecting target, and the Lucifer Hawks then swoop in to finish the job. It may be time for the understaffed AMP to expand. Though he's too old to join the battle, Avalanche Wong, a longtime ally of Rally, can offer the services of his last apprentice -- his granddaughter Lum Cheng. But it doesn't take Lum Cheng very long to get on everyone's nerves. First she dumps…16Labyrinth1998-07-2125 minAs Yuki window-shops, an antique coffee grinder catches her eye. It would make a lovely addition to her café, but she can barely afford the beans, let alone the grinder. Yuki tries to walk away, but she doesn't have the willpower. She turns around to pick up her latest purchase. Walking into the store is easy. Asking the price is the hard part. But the elderly shopkeeper stuns her by saying he isn't interested in money. For this generosity, he wants only one thing in return: her life. The shopkeeper reveals himself to be a Lucifer Hawk, and he has orders from Rally's sister Rosa to…17Destiny1998-07-2825 minTokyo isn't much fun these days, especially if you're a cop. The police department already had its hands full with the Lucifer Hawks, but now there's also a serial killer on the loose. After a dozen people are strangled, the cops finally crack the case. Unfortunately, the suspect in custody is AMP member Kiddy Phenil. Given her violent temper, Kiddy is certainly capable of murder, but she's no serial killer. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. After investigating a scream she heard coming from a dark alley, Kiddy encounters the real culprit, a killer cyborg known as a megadyne…18DOMULL1998-08-0425 minKatsumi and Roy are out on another date, but the results are the same as before: At least one of them has something else on their mind. This time it's Katsumi, who excuses herself from the table and goes home even before their meal arrives. She continues to act strangely the next day at work, moping around the office, until she finally seeks advice from Rally. Katsumi asks her if she's ever been in love, to which Rally responds that she's given up all hope for happiness, and instead takes comfort in her work. Though they both possess Lucifer Hawk blood, Rally insists that Katsumi's situation…19Back of a coin1998-08-1125 minIt's been a week since Katsumi has last spoken to Roy, but if she's the one who chose to end the relationship, why does she look so glum? It's both their day off today, and though they were originally supposed to spend it together, Katsumi is now sitting alone in a diner, drowning her sorrows in a plate of cookies. Unfortunately, Lum Cheng -- the only person she'd want to see less than Roy at this point -- comes into the restaurant and sits in the booth behind her. Lum Cheng has a thing for Roy, and Katsumi is shocked that she isn't out with him right now, especially since after dumping him…20LOVE1998-08-1825 minKatsumi and Roy struggle to escape from Ganossa, and in so doing realize their love for one another. But their problems have just begun...21Dark Side of the MOON1998-08-2525 minDuring the six months following the death of Roy De Vice there have been no serious Lucifer Hawk incidents and the importance of AMP has been drastically downgraded. After being missing for all this time, Katsumi finally shows up again. However, based on some disturbing comments made by AMP's second chief Mana Isozaki, Kiddy is uncertain as to whether she can be trusted anymore.22CRYING1998-09-0125 minKatsumi seems to be in anguish over Lebia being seriously injured, but Mana and Rally wonder if she may have intentionally caused the accident herself. They fear that she has been possessed by the demon sword "Medium", and staged the crash to remove the most skillful defender of the Police computer files. This would enable Ganossa to seize the "Avalanche files" about Project Gaia - something he absolutely needs.23Life again1998-09-0825 minWhat with Katsumi a traitor and AMP about to be disbanded, morale is low. Yuki cannot believe what has happened and her abilities are out of control. Kiddy gets a disturbing piece of information from Ralph. Along with Lum Cheng and Lebia she is dispatched to the huge Cyclotron below the town - and the three are shocked by what they find.24HELL ROAD1998-09-1525 minThe AMP team is in a shambles, with Katsumi having turned into their most powerful enemy and the ESPer Yuki being driven to hysteria by her visions about different possible futures. Rally is summoned by Ganossa to meet him alone; she goes, despite knowing that this is in all likelihood a trap. And then another AMP member turns out not to be what she appeared to be.25Count Down1998-09-2225 minAs AMP headquarters is steadily taken over by the Lucifer Hawks, Kiddy and Lum Cheng confront Katsumi and conclude that attempting to reason with her is hopeless. Mana decides to employ the desperate L-Mission self destruct program in hopes of destroying the Hawks en masse. The building, and later Tōkyō as a whole, is ordered to be evacuated. But the AMP members are torn between obeying orders to flee and attempting to rescue their comrades.26TOMORROW1998-09-2925 minKatsumi is horrified by what she finds after breaking out of Medium's control. At a press conference, the government comes clean about the existence of Lucifer Hawks and AMP. The AMP crew takes stock and vows to continue onwards to total victory over the Hawks.
