"Bebop, you have clearance to land on runway 3. Have a nice stay here on Mars." Jet begins the landing procedure as Spike walks to the hanger. "Spike, you're gonna leave just like that?" Jet asks. "You come back from the dead, find out that Faye shares the same feelings as you, and now you're gonna throw that all away over some personal problem from the past that you claim you have forgotten?"

"Jet, I've been with you for too long. I'm starting to be just like you. Once I get involved, I never stop until it's over." Spike just looks at Jet and continues walking. "Oh, and Jet, why were you already coming to Mars, when you don't want me to go kill myself?" Spike asks. "Because there are a few bounties here, and I happened to come across the info on Vicious. If I hadn't told you about him, you would have found out later." Jet replies.

Spike is performing his system checks on the Swordfish II when Faye walks up to him. "Spike, please. I don't want to beg you. Don't go." Spike looks down at Faye. "Faye, please don't make this any harder than it already is. I have to do this." Spike starts the engine up as Faye walks out of the hanger. "Goodbye, Spike," Faye says as he takes off.

Spike lands next to where he and Vicious fought last. He looks up at the ruined building, having small flashbacks about what happened here. He walks inside, hoping to find something about Vicious. Suddenly, he feels the barrel of a gun pressed against the back of his neck, "Hello, Spike," the voice behind him says. "Make any sudden movements, and we won't be able to be good friends." Spike slowly turns around to see who it is when he hears a gunshot. The gun falls to the floor as the man holding it soon follows. Spike looks back to the door to see Faye putting her gun back in its holster. "I decided that I'd help you this time."

Before they could say anything more, a raven caws loudly. Spike turns around again, this time to see Vicious. "Faye, don't help me out. This is something that needs to be done by me and only me." Spike draws his gun as Vicious draws his sword. "Hello, Spike. Long time no see." Spike just smiles as he rushes at Vicious, firing his gun. Vicious dodges the bullets and slashes at Spike.

See you, Space Cowboy...
