The Tipharean scientist reconstructs her brain - bringing forth fragments of her past - and gives her a new body that is able to fully utilize her incredible strength. As she awakens, Alita finds herself in a devastated Tiphares, where a battle between Tiphareans with brain-chips and those without is raging. At the same time, the automatic security system goes on a rampage, killing anything that moves. Last Order takes Alita's adventures into outer space, as she encounters old associates and meets new faces - both friend and foe - and begins to piece together memories of her past.

Side notes: Okay, to say it clear. Read this series in its order.XDD I've not haven't had the chance to read this series more than just a peek from the start 'cause I went reading it's sequel first and I was pretty much at loss. Art is, as usual, on a good level with this series so there is no disappointment on that. About the story... hmmm... I can't vote for it yet due of my slow progressing with it (i'm also re-reading alita 1. series to catch up with this). But if you already know the first series you probably know where you're heading with this one, nee. Towards an action filled adventure in more or less in space-time continuum.
Main character
Gally (ガリィ)
Alita's decapitated head is found in the scrapyard below the floating city of Tiphares by the Hunter Warrior Daisuke Ido. Ido fixes her up, gives her a body and raises her as his own. Soon enough, Alita joins Ido as a Hunter Warrior, hunting bounties throughout the scrapyard city. She has no recollection of her past, and Alita's only link to her former self is her 'Panzer Kunst', a cyborg martial art she somehow remembers. While trying to embrace her new life and protect those dear to her, Alita is eventually caught up in the struggle between the utopian society of Tiphares and the suppressed surface dwellers.
