The Sword of Evil

Quentin's nightmares about Kortan haunt him to the point that he decides to journey to Moganda during the night. Meanwhile, Kortan remembers how he first obtained his sword in centuries (or even millenia) past, and he swears to take Quentin's head just as he had Connor's. Quentin is attacked by thieves, but he helps them flee from the Hunters. They take him to an underground dwelling, Shantytown, where the leader plans to kill them until Quentin recognizes her from childhood. They enter Moganda through an arcade; the renegade forces go to sabotage Moganda, and Quentin disguises himself as a Hunter to take Malone back to the palace, since Malone is the human key to Kortan's weapon chamber. Malone realizes that he is an impostor and sets off the alarm, but Quentin retrieves the sword anyways. Meanwhile, Ramirez has entered Moganda to find Quentin, and is captured by Kortan. Quentin threatens to drop Kortan's sword in molten lead unless Ramirez is set free. Even after Quentin throws down the sword, the molten lead pours onto the sword as they escape. Kortan reaches into the pool of lead and retrieves it before it is destroyed.

Lord for a Day

The Jettator Volta is captured by the Hunters, and Ramirez and Quentin hatch a plan to free him. Kortan receives a challenge to fight Quentin, and he leaves Asklepios in charge. Ramirez and Quentin go to the arcade and order a large number of beers to get the Hunters drunk and draw too much water consumption. The bureaucratic forces come to close down the place, and Ramirez instigates a bar fight between the two groups. The Hunters are arrested, which infuriates Arak to the point that he sends soldiers to attack Asklepios in the Glass Organ. Two Hunters, Ramirez and Quentin in diguise, convince Arak to destroy the Glass Organ, thus shutting down power in Moganda. They free Volta and escape as Kortan comes back in furor over being stood up by MacLeod. The system is reactivated, and the escape tunnels flood, but Volta passes the knowledge of nuclear energy to Quentin, and the Quickening protects them from the water.

The Eye of Heaven

Ramirez and Quentin find a satellite station run by Shepherd, who blames himself for an error that resulted in the Great Catastrophe. He never joined the Jettators out of shame, and he stays hidden when they arrive. He has a change of heart and tracks down Quentin with a computer, while Kortan goes to the station to receive Shepherd's knowledge himself. Shepherd challenges Quentin to take his head, but Ramirez explains that if he takes the Oath, the power can be transferred without decapitation. Shepherd becomes a Jettator, and passes the knowledge just as Kortan closes upon them on a suspension bridge. Quentin cuts the bridge and Shepherd detonates a bomb on the satellite, destroying it before Kortan can learn to use it.

Arak is sent to find Malone, who is on the run. Malone comes to Quentin for help, and tells the story of his own experience in the Room of Oblivion. Malone leads them into a trap in the tunnels under Moganda, hoping to buy back Kortan's favor. Quentin reaches the Room of Oblivion in time to save Neil, and he takes Malone hostage and threatens to kill him (thereby preventing the armory from being accessed) if Kortan does not let them go.

Quentin stops him and proves that Fredrickson is not the attacker--the scar is missing. Fredrickson reveals that it was his clone, who has escaped and seeks the Prize. Quentin and Ramirez track the clone, who circles back to the tanker to take on his creator. The clone offers to give Quentin the Quickening, but Quentin notices the scar on his hand and fights him.

Arak attacks the tower before dawn, but as the sun rises, Quentin breaks in and forces the bureaucrats to fire at Moganda as the Dundees fly in and set explosives to destroy the tower. Arak and Asklepios decide to not let Kortan know the whole story.

Countdown

A missile base is put into operation and controlled by Kortan. The missiles are fired at various locations, bringing death and destruction to the land. Arak announces that the bombing will end only if the people bring in the Highlander within 12 hours. Some people try to hunt down Quentin, and the Dundees arrive to help him. The heroes break into the base and sabotage a missile to detonate inside the base, taking on countless Hunters along the way.

Matsuda

A figure in black breaks into Moganda to kill Kortan. Kortan discovers the challenger to be a cyborg. Meanwhile, Ramirez takes Quentin to an earthquake-ridden land to find Matsuda, the cybernetics Jettator, who lost his hand to Kortan. Asklepios determines that the cyborg was made by Matsuda. Quentin's skills are tested against a cyborg, and he uses an infared light to hide his heat signature, allowing for him to make the killing blow. Matsuda cages Ramirez and Quentin so that he can take on Kortan with an intelligent cyborg. An earthquake gives Kortan the advantage to beat the cyborg, and allows the heroes to get free. Quentin and Kortan fight, but the quakes break the ground apart, eventually sending Kortan into a crevice. Matsuda saves Ramirez, Clyde, and Gaul in the crumbling building, so Ramirez does not take his head for breaking the Oath. Matsuda's Quickening to Quentin reduces the city to rubble.

Valka

Ramirez takes out bureaucratic spies, giving Arak something to use against Asklepios. Valka angers Asklepios, and he turns against her. She in turn knocks him out and sabotages the system to send Moganda in panic. The Hunters are sent to arrest her as she escapes the city. Quentin sees the chase and decides to help her, initially not realizing who she is. Valka hands over resistance intelligence and offers to make the bureaucrats neutral in the final Kortan-MacLeod fight if Quentin will take out Arak. The pressure on Asklepios has him worried about losing his position, and Malone's taunts add to the stress. Ramirez goes to warn Sven about being on the Hunters' hit list. Valka traps Quentin in a room in Moganda, and then helps Asklepios restore the system. Ramirez convinces Arak to help Quentin escape, lest the bureaucrats get credit for capturing MacLeod.

King of the Ants

Ramirez and Quentin hide from the Hunters in an abandoned city. They find an entrance into a subway system, and are shocked when a train arrives to pick them up as the Hunters close in on them. They meet Zak, the only city resident who was not taken as a slave. He takes them to a lower level, but Arak cuts the power to the train and goes to level 13 to capture them. Zak brings them to a tunnel of anomas, with whom he communicates; they do not attack them due to a gas that Zak sprays on them. An anoma captures Clyde after she removes the gas scent, and Zak leads them to find her in the queen's chamber. Quentin fights the queen and Zak has to calm her down. The Hunters appear and capture them, but the anomas, under Zak's control, attack the Hunters. Zak decides to leave the tunnels for life on the surface.

Isle of Grans

Quentin & Co. are on a hovercraft over the snow, escaping from Arak's forces, when they find an island of forest amongst the ice. Arak circles the region with his tanks and begins to close in with his Hunters. RAmirez finds baby grans (the species that Gaul belongs to), and the gran inhabitants announce the strangers' arrival by shooting arrows to checkpoints. The spear-toting gran tribe captures them and takes them to their tree village, where they meet O'Kif, who can communicate with them. Gaul wins a fight against another gran and faces the snow spider challenge, so the outsiders are accepted. As the Hunters come closer, Quentin, Ramirez, and the grans take on the army and win, despite their inferior weaponry. However, Arak kidnaps Clyde to draw MacLeod into a trap; the grans come to the rescue with flaming arrows, and Quentin cuts off Arak's mechanical left hand. The Hunters leave and a boat is constructed for the heroes to depart, but Gaul has a tryst with another gran before they go.
