Metallic Rouge S01E01 | Crimson is the Sound of Dawn

In a Martian city, a mysterious man calling himself "Joker" hijacks a shipment of Nectar, a drug which Neans need to function. Elsewhere in the city, Rouge serves as assistant to famous singer Sarah Fitzgerald to determine if the latter is actually a member of the "Immortal Nine" whom she is tasked to kill. She is aided by a mechanical bird operated by Naomi which catches Sarah injecting herself with nectar, confirming she is indeed Viola Keane of the Immortal Nine. However, the "Joker" then destroys the bird, forcing Naomi to meet Rouge in person to report her findings. Meanwhile the "Joker", revealed to be Immortal Nine member Hell Giallon, warns Viola that Rouge is likely the culprit behind the deaths of two other of their members. Viola tries to lure Rouge into a trap, which results in both women transforming into their combat forms and engaging each other in combat. With data provided by Naomi, Rouge manages to defeat Viola and extract her core, but Giallon manages to escape. With Viola eliminated, Rouge and Naomi head off to their next mission.
