1 Team Nippon #5 cover Barry Blair and Eiwin Mark
Alex has his full costume back on. Alex has Ling fully zonked. Simon says, "Get him to act like a chicken." Ling tells them that Lee is held at Tong HQ at the waterfront, East River at Canal Street, near Pier 96. Alex wants to rumble. Simon thinks it sucks that they have to go after the robot machine first and not Lee. Alex blanks out Ling until they get back. Huai arrives at the Tong warehouse to coax something out of Lee, who is tied to a chair. She kisses him and feels his body. She sits on his lap, "We can do this two ways, my way, the pleasurable way for both of us..." She kisses him, unaware his hands are free. He punches her out. Lee unties his feet, "Gee, I wonder what the second way was." The others attack the Yakuza's secret lab. Gen blacks out all alarms. Alex cannot pick up brainwave activity. Simon has the bombs and they are already ticking when Bo and Sai arrive to stop them. At Tong HQ, Lee is in the girl's outfit. The guard comes in and feels up his leg, "Say..anybody tell you that you've got a nice..." Lee knees him in the eye, "Paws off, dork!" A boy sees this and call to sound the alarm. Lee fights off a thug in a Madonna outfit who tries using nunchuks on him and flips the thug over, taking the nunchuks. Thrown stars just miss him. He gets to the two thugs who threw them and hits them down. More chase him up steps. One steps on his foot. Another grabs his tight shirt one piece and has a pointy brass knuckle type weapon. Lee ducks and the thug hits it into the face of the thug holding Lee from behind. Lee palms him and jumps out the window toward the water. Alex's mental powers don't work on Bo and Sai. Gen, Alex, and Simon run. Sai wants to do the same even though Bo laughs at this. The bombs go off. Gen hopes Bo and Sai got out (WHY THE HELL DOES SHE?). The robot device is gone. Gen wants to fade out before the police arrive. Alex, at HQ, has to get out of the tights before he goes crazy. They find wet footprints going into the den. Alex senses a presence. He knows it is Lee, who asks for a pizza. Ling is mind wiped and must be sleepwalking around NY. Gen tells Lee Bo and Sai are working for the Tong. Lee tells them that Bo and Sai helped torture him. Gen tells Lee to get out of the wet clothes. Simon asks if they will go on Pat Sajak, Arsenio Hall, or Letterman. Gen, sending the guys off to sleep, thinks while looking out the window. Somehow Bo and Sai connect the gangs TEAM NIPPON is sworn to fight.
