Ep1. Can't Buy A Thrill
Mega City TOKYO, 2040.
"Boomer's" which are generalized androids with live organ functions rapidly
reconstructed the capital that suffered massive damage from a huge earthquake
7 years ago. However, on the flip side, they can also suddenly go insane.
These Boomers are called "Mad" Boomers in such an unstable condition and
will initiate subversive activities. Mad Boomer cases are becoming more
frequent and more severe. Even the special "A.D. Police" force has trouble
dealing with the increasing number of Mad Boomers. There is a mysterious
group who has thrown down the gauntlet against the Mad Boomers. They have
high spec powered armor hard suits, and seem to appear from nowhere. They
are the "Knight Sabers" a group of young women who live out their secret
lives in mega city.
The super conglomerate "Genom" dominates the development and sales of the
"Boomers" market with their original Voomer brand. Genom cooperation's
affiliate company, Hugh Geit, has a new employee, Office Lady (OL) Yamazaki
Linna. She is almost hit by a female motorcycle rider on her first day of work.
Startled, she tripped and dropped the lunch she just bought. On top of that,
she scraped her forehead. Furious at the female bike rider, she chases her but
just misses catching her. Later that day, her manager, Ken, asks her out,
offering to show her around Tokyo. That night, with Ken, she sees a female
singer, Priss Asagiri's poster and recognized that Priss is the female biker
who startled her in that afternoon.
Linna and Ken walk around the streets and have dinner in a Bar. Linna is about
to go home because it's late, but Ken stops her and asks her for "closer
relationship" using the fact that he is the human resource appraiser as leverage.
Linna, angered by his attitude, is about to leave when a mad boomer suddenly
breaks into the bar. Ken selfishly runs away by himself leaving Linna behind.
Linna finds another exit on the other side of the Bar and tries to escape by
the emergency staircase. But the Mad Boomer chases after her and destroys the
stairs in front of her. Because of the sudden attack, Linna is hanging over
the street in great danger. A Blue hard suit suddenly shows up in front of
Linna and saves her live. Linna stares at the blue hard suit and whispers
comprehendingly "Knight Sabers". The blue knight saber used the same motion
to show Linna her scrape on her forehead just like the female biker did earlier
that day. Linna realized the Blue Knight Saber is Priss. Priss destroys the
Mad Boomer with the superior force of her hardsuit. Linna is stunned by the
power of Knight sabers and falls down from the stairs. But the other Knight
Saber, Nene Romanova saves her.
Next day, Linna gives Ken a right hook to the jaw to thank him for the
previous night. Later that day, Linna shows up at the Live House "Hot Legs"
and waits for Priss in the back alley. She tells Priss her about her long
time dream, "I want to be knight saber too." But Priss makes no indication
as to the accuracy of her revelation and drives away leaving Linna standing
there alone.

Episode 2 "Fragile"
A.D Police Frontline Officer Leon McNichol and Daley Wong are aggravated by
the unclear and slow acting head quarters while the Knight Sabers are
stealing their thunder. About the same time, Linna is wondering why the
media does not report the Mad Boomer case she encountered last night. She
uses her company computer to hack the AD police's server for more information,
but Nene, who works as an operator there, blocks the information and stops
Linna from hacking. That night, Linna stops by Priss's live house and tries
to invite herself into the Knight Sabers again. Priss doesn't take her seriously
and drives away, but Linna doesn't give up so easily this time, she follows
on her scooter as fast as she can. Finally she finds Priss with an unknown
woman in front of the Silky Doll boutique. Linna enters the boutique as if
invited and finds a secret elevator hidden behind the fitting room mirror.
When the elevator door opens, she finds Priss, Nene and the unknown woman,
Sylia Stingray, waiting for her. The boutique houses the secret base of the
Knight Sabers. Linna again states her desire to become a Knight Saber. Sylia,
the leader, smiles at Linna approvingly and suggests that Linna experience
a simulated battle from the action recorder. Linna is shocked to learn that
the battle is more strenuous than she had originally anticipated.

Episode 3 Keep me hanging on
Leon asks Nene in private to find information about the Knight Sabers on
the AD Police server not knowing she is one of the members. Meanwhile, in
the Knight Sabers "pit" base, Nigel Kirkland starts making a new Hardsuit
for Linna. However Linna has lost her confidence in becoming a Knight Saber
to fight Mad Boomers due to the strenuous battle simulation she experienced
in action recorder a few days earlier. She contacts Nene about her worries
and makes plans to meet her later. She and Nene meet at a coffee shop. A
customer's harsh attitude toward the waitress boomer in the coffee shop causes
Linna to lose her temper and argue with the customer over the boomer. After
leaving the coffee shop, Linna confesses her anxiety towards becoming a Knight
Saber. Even though Nene tells her if she has no confidence, she shouldn't do
it, Nene would still like to fight Mad Boomers with her however. Linna firmly
shakes hands with Nene as her confidence in becoming a Knight Saber returns.
They arrive at the Silky Doll just as Linna's new Hardsuit is completed. Linna
tries it on right away and is delighted by how light it is. Around the same
time, the waitress boomer in the coffee shop goes Mad. Priss, driving by the
coffee shop, takes on the Mad Boomer with her bare hands. Sylia receives
notice of the Mad boomer from Priss sends out Linna and Nene to fight it since
Priss is already there without her Hardsuit.

However the battery meter on her Hardsuit runs out too quickly and Linna is
unable to move the heavy Hardsuit without power. The Mad Boomer soon captures

Linna and leave her defenseless. Just as the Hardsuit is going to unlock,
Priss, in her Hardsuit shows up and destroys the Mad Boomer and saves Linna's
life. The Knight Sabers quickly disperse just as the rest of the AD police
burst into the shop. Meanwhile, after returning to the Mobile Pit, Sylia and
