Primal imforms Tank that Emily is a superhero known as Razorback. Tank then leaves to fight Liberator alone but quickly changes his mind and joins his former allies in a plan to break out Skullface on Blood Breath Island.

Liberator, obsessed with capturing Tank, forms his own team with Purple Bullet & Bear-Zurker, and recruits mercenaries Judge & Jury ( his daughter ), Rex, Dr. Frost & Warhead.

To complete his team, Liberator convinces warrior Vulcano to join him. After a brief fight, Vulcano joins his team.

Liberator's team then finds out that Tank's team is breaking Skullface out of prison and they set out to get to the prison first.

At Blood Breath Island, while Tank's team are fighting Liberator's mercenaries, Tank confronts Skullface in his cell and convinces him to help him clear his name. Skullface agrees and the prison is destroyed in the process.

Liberator's team then confronts Tank's team and an epic fight ensues. Tank then gets teleported to the middle of nowhere.

Tank, Green Dragon, Talon & Skullface have an epic fight with Purple Bullet, while Liberator captures Tank's team. As Liberator arrives, he and Tank have an epic fight. Tank then reveals that he served alongside Liberator's father during the war and his dying words was to ask him to protect his son Steve. Liberator apologises to Tank and he accepts. Before leaving to help the others, Tank reveals his real name: Han Jackson.
