The Last Mech God

In Portwell, the Shaw repair shop is failing, and Ash works there as an unassuming mechanic. He is in fact Tempest, the famed pilot who defeated the Abyssal Lord five years ago and then disappeared. As the Howe family pushes the Shaws toward bankruptcy, heiress Stella takes the controls of the aging Azure Phoenix to defend the family legacy, with Ash quietly guiding her from behind the scenes. Howe heir Quentin wants Ash on his side and works to keep the Shaws out of the Federal Thunder Cup, though federal ace Harlan gets them entered. Stella scores upset wins while Team Vulture's Zorn and Howe coach Trey sabotage from the shadows, and Ash's hidden past edges closer to the surface. When Military Under-Secretary Gray's conspiracy brings an apocalyptic threat toward Portwell, Ash returns to the sealed mech Daybreak.
