"Holy Val"
In order to provide security at their exhibit of a priceless extraterrestrial artifact that is a focus of their spiritual movement, the Centaurians hire V.I.P. As the exhibition's opening exposes serious differences between the movement's Spiritual Guide, Rygel, and its Executive Director, Kamin, Val and her team make plans to protect the jewel encrusted obelisk. Already having installed a state of the art security system, Kamin makes it clear that he's hired V.I.P. to provide crowd control for the exhibition.

With Quick and Nikki assigned to guard the Centauri, Maxine and Val set out to cash in by selling souvenirs.

Meanwhile, Val sets out to help Nikki pass her driver's license exam.
Told that she was sent to America by her parents to protect from a coup, Anna is asked to return home to reclaim the throne from Kazbayan's corrupt dictatorship.

But when Anna stops him just as he is about to kill Nikki, she cannot keep Volikov from killing the Sentinel and taking her prisoner.

"21 Val Street"
With undercover cop and Foam's bartender Relic nowhere to be found, V.I.P. suspects something is amiss - especially after a bomb destroys his illegally parked car. When a search of the car's charred remains turns up a class schedule, Val and her team head for North Los Angeles University where they find him posing as a student. And though he first tries to deny knowing them, a botched assassination attempt forces Relic to reveal he's investigating a bookmaking operation controlled by the elusive Hans Lamal.
Because Lamal always sends a back up shooter to make sure his hits succeed, Relic's life is still in danger. With Johnny and Kay going undercover as college students, Val, Maxine, Nikki and Tasha pose as faculty members, all to guard Relic as he shadows Kenny Farmer, the student who's in charge of Lamal's campus gambling operation. At a frat party, Tasha heads off another attempt on Relic's life by a killer disguised as a college co-ed while, posing as the hit man, Quick successfully infiltrates Lamal's organization. Yet, when Farmer gets suspicious after a magazine photo exposes Val, Quick is sent to kill Relic and his bodyguards -- unaware that he's also been marked for death.
Although Relic insists that Val and her friends let him finish the assignment alone, V.I.P. refuses to back down. And when Farmer accosts Tasha, she learns that he's actually been posing as Lamal after murdering the mobster in order to take over his crime syndicate. Killing a henchman to prove he's serious, Farmer then tries forcing V.I.P.'s hand by taking Val hostage. But when he finds that the woman he's grabbed is actually Relic in disguise, Farmer bolts, only to be apprehended following a high-speed chase and fiery crash. Finally, Kay stays around the college just long enough to exact revenge on some malicious sorority sisters.
