Maya has a new gun that's lighter, but more powerful than a tank gun and Rio gets a weapon called the "Armored Knucklebuster" which she wears it on her forearm giving her greater strength when she punches. Maya manages to take out Wolf Head, and Rio manages to take out Jackal Head and then they confront Dober Head disguised as a policeman but gain no information about their intentions.
