Nell looks at Kanbei. "So the cows are coming from Sturm's place? This could be bad. First he manipulates us against each other. Then he makes those neotanks and factories. Now he is sending cows against us." She shakes her head. "Why can't he just leave us alone?!" She breaks down crying. Grit walks over and pats her back.

"It'll be alright, princess." Everyone is silent as they watch Grit calm her down.

Back to Black Hole. The soldiers are reporting back to Sturm.

"So the big COs are at Orange Star. This provides us with an opportunity to strike!!! We now will have all the green grass to ourselves!!!" The soldiers look around at each other. They begin to doubt their leader.

"Maybe we should have stayed with Hawke," one mutters. Sturm hears the comment.

"METEOR STRIKE!!!" The soldier is crushed; a couple around him are also injured. "Do not insult me! I am perfectly sane." He dismisses them and removes his Vader-like mask…

Meanwhile, in Green Earth, Jess Drake Sensei and Colin are playing chess with their CO Powers (don't ask how four people are playing; they just are). Colin has just used the Power of Money to make his pawn destroy on of Jess' rooks.

"How did you do that? My CO power makes vehicular units more powerful!"

"Stupid, a rook isn't vehicular. " Sensei nods at Drake's knowledge of chess pieces. Right before a new line of pawns pops up on his side of the board. "Not fair! Tsunami!!" So they are having fun wasting time (and their CO Powers). Then the attack comes. An onrush of cows comes stampeding in, mooing with aggression.

"In all my years of battle, I've never seen that, "Sensei comments as the cows sweep the table away as they rush past.

"Shouldn't we do something about this?" Colin asks. They all watch in mute disbelief.

"Worms!" Sturm comes walking in. "How did you like my new CO Power? Dark Cow Rush? Hahahahahahaha…" Then he realizes no one is quite scared of him, just worried about the cows. "Soldiers, attack!" Black Hole soldiers appear, surrounding the COs.

"This could be a problem," Drake comments dryly.

Hawke, along with the rest of the Black Hole COs, is watching Sturm's progress. "I thought I destroyed him, "Hawke mutters. "Oh well. Let him weaken the COs so we can sweep in and take over Wars World once and for all!!"

"Can I play with my toy?" Lash asks. Hawke sighs.

"You can use the Green Earth soldiers once we take them over."
"YAY!!! I get little guinea pigs for my new experiments! Tee hee!" Hawke just looks around in exasperation.

The remaining COs (Olaf, Haichi, and Sonja) are doing recon on the cows and Sturm.

"Now, we know he's here somewhere…" Sonja whispers.
"Look at that fat cow!" Olaf points at a particularly large cow, seemingly leading the herd.

"Hmm… I wonder… "Sonja begins talking to herself. Olaf and Haichi look at each other with raised eyebrows.
"Would you mind enlightening us?" Haichi asks. She shakes her head and continues muttering to herself.
