Several years after the event of the first Kite, the film starts off with crew members of ISS astronauts returning back to their Space Station from their Kudryavka shuttle. The crew has been living out in space for the past four years and finally snaps at Kōichi Doi, the so-called space chef, for his utter lack of good cooking. But in truth, and unaware of the dangers, Mr. Doi proudly works for Defy Food Company and the supples he used to make meals were never tested for health hazards. His main goal was to protect the astronauts from getting sick. "Developing special foods and strengthening your bones has been a priority." However, the teams were not understanding as the old doctor, Torokurō Amuzu, and Orudo Noguchi, for they were being optimistic and explains Mr. Doi's space foods were good for them and having strong bones were more important then enjoying the taste of food as they were living off on artificial gravity. After dinner, Orudo and a crew member got an initial cat scan. It turns out both of them are the only ones diagnosed with space radiation. With the help of sun's radiation and Mr. Doi's food, their bone volumes have increased. When asked why only two were infected, the Doctor then says they were the only ones out in space during the Sun's radiation at its peak. The space suits were suppose to protect them, so there must be something else. Not knowing what to do at this point, the Doctor have requested the two men to stay inside the station until further notice. Orudo heads back to his bedroom, observing pictures of Monaka, his only teenage daughter. He then gives Mr. Doi a small package containing Monaka's birthday present.

Meanwhile in Tokyo during night time, two police officers are pursuing a violent pedophile throughout a train station. The criminal, mistakenly thought as the older brother Tsuin by the officers, eventually end his tracks by entering a women's washroom, shooting two bystanders and holding a little girl as hostage. Officer Gaga persuaded Tsuin to let her go but to no avail. While trying to decide what to do outside the washroom, the criminal takes the screaming girl inside a stall. As he was about to fondle her, the lights go off. When he investigates, he gets attacked by "Angel of Death", an assassin. After shooting him to death, the assassin leaves her calling card before vanishing: A pile of white flurry feathers lay around him. While Gaga fails to order the Station Manager to shut down all trains, the Angel of Death, now dressed as a school girl with glasses and loose hair, makes her escape by going inside a train before it departures. That same night, Monaka Noguchi, who is actually the Angel of Death, goes to work at Apollo 11, a maid cafe usually patronized by the same perverted customer who enjoys harassing the waitresses sexually. While she is not on a mission, Monaka plays a nerdy, but very coy clumsy gentle high school girl. And because the nature of her work place, she is easily targeted of harassment from customers and flirtations from the manager. "the customer is always right," implies their sleazy manager. However, Mukai, the mysterious oldest associate, does not take kindly to such behavior and retaliates such as putting spicy Habanero in drinks or kicking a rude customer in the groin. It is never explained why the Manager never fires her, but it is speculated Ms. Mukai( Who looks extremely similar to Sawa. ) is, or was, more than just a waitress there and looks after Monaka. While they are working, the sleazy manager received a phone call from the real Tsuin, the older brother of the criminal the Angel of Death killed at the train station, stating his younger and only brother was murdered by Gaga. When Monaka returns home from work, she receives a package from Azuki, her cousin. While Monaka opens the package, Azuki gets a Häagen-Dazs ice cream from the mini fridge. Azuki becomes jealous at the discovery of Monaka's gift; a bracelet made of rocks from Mars. Monaka then approaches her window, looks up at the night sky, and thanks her Father.

Back at the Space Station, Orduo and the other crew member's condition have gotten worse. Their bone volume have increased again. The Doctor realize the cause of this was due to Sun's radiation and Mr. Doi's space food. The infected bodies are becoming abnormally large due to the growing bones. As Orduo groans in agony and semi-conscious, he thinks about his daughter and we see a brief flash back on Earth with a kid Monaka and him. The next morning, Monaka logs into her laptop and goes to a secret folder where it contains a list of targeted people. On her way to school, she stops by at the apartment complex where her next target lives and proceeds on her way. When evening arrives, she then returns to the area to kill her next target, the owner of the apartment complex for his murderous crimes of killing several people. Disaster strikes at the Space Station. Orudo and the crew member have transformed into homicidal monsters, successfully killing most of crew members and ISS Police units. Prior to escape, they were able to kill one of the monsters by blowing up the Space Station. However, the second monster was no where to be found. Only the Doctor, Mr. Doi, Orudo, and couple others escaped in Space Pod back to Earth. The crash landing to a building drew Defy Food Company's attention and hired agents to solve problems and rid any evidence that may jeopardize their reputation.

That night, back at Apollo 11 maid cafe, the perverted customer was back and tried to fondle Monaka, but Mukai intervened and sent the injured customer to a hospital. Due to business obstruction, Mukai was reliable and had to pay for the hospital bills. After work, Mukai invited her out in back for small fireworks. They had interesting, but vague, discussion of Muaki's life. After saying good bye, Monaka ran into Gaga, who was waiting for her by the steps. When he told her she was a minor and he was a police officer, she tried to reason with him, even offering a free drink next time. In return for his silence, and having a secret crush on her some time, he finally asked her out. She obliges. Meanwhile, a monster emerges out of the sea near downtown. In a hotel room, agents are demanding silence from the Doctor and Mr. Doi. When they receive news about a monster roaming around the city, they inform the space chef about it, basically blaming him. Mr. Doi, feeling guilty, protests it wasn't his fault. The next day, at a local park, Sputnik, dressed entirely in an animal costume (cat) from head to toe, met up with Monaka. Her current assignment got postponed and given a new one: To eliminate the monster. The next scene we see Monaka as Angel of Death collecting weapons. Her sleazy Manager realize she favors "Red Club" (The gun of Destiny), which was used by the previous assassin like her. The Manager adds the gun was made by a friend of his who died at the same time of the assassin's disappearance several years ago. "I see...what was her name?" was all Angel of Death says. Although it isn't answered, we know it was Sawa.

At Gaga's apartment that same night, he gets attacked by older brother, Tsuin. The two engage gun fights. Sensing he is unable to easily kill the officer, he flees. It becomes a chase now, just like with his younger brother. Not so far away, the monster is causing havoc. The Angel of Death uses a Sniper rifle from a roof top first but after few shots, she cease firing and sees the monster unharmed. She gets closer by using a grappling hook and then fires some kind of automatic weapon at it. And when that didn't kill it, she uses her Red Club, but even those explosive bullets did not penetrate to cause sufficient damage. After running out of options, she feels beaten and retreats by using the grappling hook back to the rooftop. She tried to escape, but the monster eventually pins her against a wall, the impact caused one of her contact-lenses to fall off. Thinking this is the end, she waits for her death, but it never came. Just as her Nemesis was about to finish her off, it saw and recognizes the bracelet. When she saw her chance to escape, she fired few bullets into its mouth and sent it flying backwards to the lower street level where it fell on top of a car. Badly injured, the monster tried to show sympathy toward Angel of Death. However, she was too stunned to do anything but stand there. The car explodes. Doi persuades her to get in his car with two agents. The agents took them to an isolated indoor parking lot, discussing about the incident. She learns the monster she was sought out to kill was actually her mutated father.

The two agents tried to shoot her, but she got them first and demanded answers from Mr. Doi. The two men pretended to be from NASA, but were really agents to keep things under control and rid any evidence. After shooting Mr. Doi execution style, she runs back to the area where she fled from her father. However, she did not make it outside the parking lot as she and Tsuin ran into each other. He held her hostage as Gaga got closer. Tsuin threatened to kill her if he comes any closer. Unfortunately for Tsuin, the hostage is a skilled assassin. She was able to break free easily and end up killing him before Gaga arrives. After discovering the body, he tried looking for the hostage, but only found a dark ribbon on the ground nearby. Outside, Monaka got tired from running and catches her breath. While she was regaining strength, a truck that was passing her explodes. The monster had regenerated itself and the two meets once again. It is unknown what happens next as the screen goes black and closing credits begins.
