In Gun X Sword season 1 episode 4 titled "And then, the Rain Falls," we continue to follow the protagonist Van as he searches for the infamous Claw. In this episode, Van and his on-again-off-again ally Wendy arrive in the town of Ulgard, which is known for its advanced technology despite being located in the middle of a desert.

As they enter the town, they witness a gang of thieves attacking a group of travelers. Van intervenes and defeats the thieves with ease, impressing the travelers who are also new to the area. Van learns from one of the travelers, a scientist named Professor Hartland, that the town of Ulgard is the home of a powerful weapon called the Gravity Shockwave, which has the ability to harness and control the power of gravity.

Van's interest is piqued, and he decides to investigate further, hoping that this weapon will give him an edge in his search for Claw. Wendy, on the other hand, is concerned about the morality of using such a powerful weapon.

As they explore the town, they come across a young girl named Priscilla whose parents were killed in a recent attack. Priscilla is now on the run as the thieves who killed her parents are now after her. Van and Wendy decide to protect her and help her find a safe place to stay.

Meanwhile, Professor Hartland shows Van the Gravity Shockwave, a powerful and intimidating machine. However, during their conversation, the town's mayor interrupts them and demands that Hartland give him control of the weapon.

Van and Wendy later discover that the mayor is actually in cahoots with the thieves who attacked Priscilla's family. The mayor plans to use the power of the Gravity Shockwave to create his own kingdom in the desert. Van and Wendy team up with Priscilla and Professor Hartland to stop the mayor and his band of thieves from taking over the town.

The climax of the episode involves a showdown between Van and the mayor, who has now taken control of the Gravity Shockwave. Van must use his skills and strength to stop the mayor, with the help of his new allies. Finally, the true potential of the Gravity Shockwave is revealed, leading to an epic battle that decides the fate of the town.
