Episode 66

Friends Forever

Back at the Cavalry Command division on Alamo, everyone was watching the video from Colt... Eagle was speechless. King Jarray was in the room also, holding his chin and peeking at princess Marleine, from time to time. He just could not believe his eyes and his ears. This entire story was like pulled out of a fantasy tale. But Princess Marleine was real, and so were all the footages brought in from Earth. Plus, lots of computer data with their trails and galactic coordinates.

In the meantime, Colt left off, along with Robin. They both had people to meet. Colt took off in his ship, to see his parents. Robin travelled to see her family and friends, in Tranquility.

Colt's parents were hosted at a Cavalry Command hotel in Yuma city. They have been in the hospital for a little while, they received treatment and they were still under medical supervision, for post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Mom... dad..." Colt had tears in his eyes...

"Colt, you are back!" his mother jumped to greet him.

It was a very emotional reunion. Colt, the brave Star Sheriff, could not stop himself from crying. He was indeed a softhearted one, just like Robin once said.

"Do you know what a torture these past few days have been for us, son?" said his father. "We thought you were dead!"

"Dad, this is my life... This is how I've been, for a long time. I live on the edge..." Colt giggled. "We have a lot to talk about..."

Indeed, they had lots and lots of stories to share, good and bad. Colt was in a state of euphoria. The reason why he had become a bounty hunter, and later a Star Sheriff, was no longer there. He found his parents and peace was finally back on the New Frontier.


The next day after Colt's return, the Cavalry Command was starting the procedures for putting together the aid convoys. Colt had to go meet Commander Eagle, who also returned to Yuma. He went out for breakfast with his parents, then he took off to the Command Center.

"Dad, I promise I won't go on another mission. I'm done, alright? I'll see you tonight!" and he hugged his mom and dad.

As he was getting into the Command Center building, Colt passed by a long squadron of soldiers that were surrounding what seemed to be a group of prisoners, with their arms cuffed at their backs. Colt looked at the prisoners' faces and spotted... a white pale face... with a stark look. It was Jean-Claude, the famous drifter...

"Jean-Claude, what a surprise!" Colt exclaimed. "We finally nailed you, you piece of..."

"Yeah, Colt, and he's going to be treated for a little virus infection, soon," said a voice behind the squadron. It was Wayne, the Star Sheriff leader of the Eastern sector.

"Wayne, you caught him?"

"Yeah... This piece of vapor figured out our secret base on Planet Amman and attacked it. When we were all thinking that war was over..., he showed up out of nowhere... Just to make our lives more difficult..."

"So, Jean-Claude, you are still lookin' for trouble, ay?" Colt glanced at the Outrider, in disdain.

"Grrr..." the Outrider didn't say a word, he just hissed back at Colt.

"Well, I have good news for you, amigo. Your dear friend Nemisis is gone for good, so you'll have to learn to be friends with us now!"

"Don't worry, Colt, he'll learn it very well after we decontaminate him of that creepy virus. They all have that disgusting bug in their blood. But Erkanos and Doctor Guerino said they will treat them. Plus, if Nemisis is gone, there is no more allegiance to anyone. That's why they are all so disoriented, coz' they don't know what leader to follow now," said Wayne, with an amused face.

"Ha! That's awful funny!" Colt laughed. "So, what's going to happen to all the other bushwackers in their own dimension?"

"It's already over, Colt! Clint and Ranger's teams cleaned up the place. You guys weren't coming back from your mission, so Cavalry Command sent them to rescue you. But when they arrived there, they found out what happened to you, from the locals. So they all went around and scouted the place for the rest of the infected soldiers and commanders. They zapped Grimace, Patch, they found Gattler in a vapor chamber and shot him into a human too... Now they are all in the Containment Department. The Cavalry Command will decide what their next career will be," Wayne winked at Colt.

"Well, I'd like to see Gattler cleaning up my barn!" Colt laughed. "Why don't you just send Jean-Claude to his dimension and zap him there? He'd turn right back into a human, if you shot him in his own dimension."

"Yeah, but it's a bit of an overhead, to travel back there. Plus, Erkanos and Doctor Guerino said it's important for the science world to find out exactly how this virus works," Wayne replied. "They have to get treated here."

"Colt, there you are," a female voice interrupted them.

"Robin? I thought you would stay longer in Tranquility. What brought you back on Yuma?" Colt was surprised.

"I promised Princess Marleine that I would help her organize the aid transport," said Robin. "She needs someone else next to her, to decide exactly what her people need. There are a lot of things that we need to choose: food, clothes, blankets... We will organize several transports, and then we'll start bringing materials for rebuilding the infrastructure..."

"Wheeeew... Robin, you are a natural born leader..." Colt pulled his hat on his shoulders.

"She is, indeed," Commander Eagle was also walking on the corridor. "We have a lot of work to do, Colt," said Eagle, putting his hand on his shoulder.

Colt rolled his eyes... He just wanted some rest... Why work again?...


"Look, a butterfly, just like the ones on Earth!" princess Marleine exclaimed.

"Yes, there are quite a few species around here... And all sorts of animals, also. I will take you for a horse ride tomorrow, if you'd like," said Prince Roland. His eyes were glued to her.

She stopped walking and looked up to the sky. It was a beautiful summer night, with bright stars. Thoughts about Earth came to her mind. She remembered her last days before going into the cryogenic sleep. A teardrop fell on her cheek.

"I miss you, my dear family... Wherever you are mom, dad, Olaf - my brother and Serena - my sister... I miss you..." she whispered.

Prince Roland hugged her tight, as she was sobbing in silence. His father, King Jarray, was looking out the window of his castle.


It was already dark outside, a few fires were still burning. Around one of the fire pits, a group of people were having an interesting discussion. April was in the center of attention.

"So, you mean the warp field equation was your discovery?" April stood up and looked at the group of people warming up around the fire. They were scientist from all around Earth, men and women that had worked at NASA and CERN and their combined efforts led to the revolutionary invention.

"Yep..." one of them started scribbling something on the ground, with a stick.

April recognized the equation and jumped in to finish writing it. Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"So... you guys are using the same formula that we discovered, twenty-four thousand years ago?" one of them asked her.

"Indeed we are! I can't believe I am standing here, speaking with the founding fathers of intergalactic travel!" April exclaimed.

After a long evening of talks, that prolonged into the midnight, the scientists were all amazed at what the humanity has come to be. They found out that the intergalactic travel was quite frequent and that the method was also used for distant communication between planets. It was something they never thought of, but apparently the warp power discovery also helped the telecommunication industry. They also found out about the Human-Outrider wars and all the history behind it. They realized that humanity still had a lot to learn about peace...


A few days have passed since Prince Roland departed for the New Frontier. On Earth, the sun was rising above the mountains again... People started coming out of the tunnels, tired and sore...

"Man, I need a bed... I can't sleep like that, crawled on the floor..." said Steve, coming out of the CERN tunnel.

"Yeah, I agree. And I don't know if I can take that fish every day. I mean, it's only been a few days and I'm already sick of it! Think of it: trout for breakfast, trout for lunch, trout for dinner..." said a friend of Steve.

"You never liked fish, anyway," said a girl next to him. "But fish is good for your brain! Makes you smart!" and she winked at him.

"I'm smart already, am I not?" he laughed.

"Oh, boys, we have some fish for you!" April showed up, with a tray of cooked fish, coming down from a trail in the forest.

"Ugh..." the boys rolled their eyes.

"What's the matter? Oh, I forgot, I also got you some candies, from our pantry on Ramrod. I don't have too many of them, so don't tell anyone else. These are just for you, okay?" and April gave Steve a bag of candies, then she placed the big plate of fish in his friend's arms.

"Heeey, thanks, ma'am! What a surprise!" Steve was happy.

"You're welcome!" she giggled and ran away.

"I think she likes me," Steve smiled... "Heey! Give me that bag!" and he started chasing after his friend, who was sly enough to put the fish tray down and smuggle the candies from his hand.

"I told you I don't like fish! I get the candies, you go eat the fish... Ha ha!"

The guys were laughing and chasing each other around in circles. Meanwhile... sounds of aircrafts started resonating up in the sky... Out of the blue..., a long convoy of freight starships started lining up above the mountains...

"Ramrod, this is Prince Roland, please come in!" the comm-link beeped.

"Guys, we are being paged!" April was just returning to the ship, from her trip downstairs.

"This is Saber Rider! Welcome back, Prince! There is a field to the south of the forest, you can land there."

"I can see that. Thank you!"

"Wow, look up!" Fireball pointed to the sky. He was outside, surrounded by a big group of kids.

"Oh, chum, I see you have lots of supporters!" said Saber Rider, who was just getting out from the Ramrod ship.

"He's raising a new generation of Star Sheriffs!" Claudia giggled.

"Come, let's go closer!" a little girl pulled Fireball's arm and dragged him into the forest, eager to reach the convoys.

"Oh, I'm so hungry, Alysha, let's go see what these guys are bringing us for food!" said Steve, chewing up on a candy that he managed to rescue from his friends's bag. They were all running toward the landing convoy.


Six months after their big discovery on Earth, the Star Sheriffs were on planet Alamo, at king Jarray's palace. The king decided to give a special reception for all his friends. He also invited a lot of people from Earth. Prince Roland brought them over, all across the galaxies and dimensions. They were all excited and curious about this new world.

Everyone was enjoying the evening. Saber Rider's parents were at the reception, also. They were very proud to see that their son was the leader of a team that brought peace in the world. They were talking to Fireball's parents: Capt. Hikari was explaining to them all their recent adventures and how they survived all the dangers.

Jesse's parents were talking to Colt's parents. They were sharing their own experiences, fortunes and misfortunes of the past ten years.

Colt was toasting a drink with Saber Rider, while their girlfriends, Robin and Sincia, were discussing how they should both start a new school on Earth. The children were all very fond of them and they loved the little ones, also.

Princess Marleine was talking with the Her Majesty the Queen of Jarre, Prince Roland's mother. She was explaining to her how the new aids from Yuma tremendously helped the Earthians get back on their feet and start their new lives.

Commander Eagle was talking to General White Hawk, discussing about the future of Earth. There were many inhabitants from the New Frontier who expressed their wish to go and colonize the old planet. Princess Marleine seemed to have taken the lead there and she was open to newcomers.

Claudia was next to Fireball, laughing at the jokes that Jesse was making. He was recalling the time when he was still under the virus spell and how he was always at his wit's end about the stupidity of his fellow Outriders. They had been driving him nuts! He was always angry, cranky, dissatisfied. Their performance was … quote from Jesse...: "underwhelming".

"Haha, so you called him "dumb" to his face?" Fireball was laughing at something that Jesse said about an Outrider.

"Yeah, I said..."

Suddenly, Jesse stopped talking. April was returning from another room. All the people in the ballroom turned their eyes to the blonde girl. She was wearing a long red satin dress with a deep heart-shaped v-neck.

"Jesse..."

"Yes..., April..." Jesse had his eyes glued to her.

"I think we have to get closer to the podium... It's time for the King's speech!" and she grabbed his hand.

All the of them walked to the center of the ballroom.

"Attention, ladies and gentlemen!" someone announced: "His Majesty the King of Jarre will commence his speech now!"

The king walked up on a stage in the center of the ballroom. Everyone was listening. Finally, peace was a certainty on the New Frontier. He praised the courage of the Star Sheriffs, the strength and spirit of sacrifice, the friendship and generosity they all excelled at. Above all, he was very, very happy that his good friend, Capt Hikari, had been rescued.

The king ended his speech by saying: "Star Sheriffs, you and your companions have shown excellence in your service to the New Frontier, rendering high and noble bravery in war and peace. We, hereby, decided that you are all worthy of the highest decorations of our Kingdom! The Royal Star of Merit!"

Trumpets resounded around the castle. Then, several royal esquires opened the way and escorted the nominees up on the podium.

A few valets standing behind the king took a few steps forward. They were holding pillows with many insignias.

The King and the Queen approached each of them and offered them a Royal Star, while saying:

"Please accept from our hands this decoration, as a symbol of honor, generosity and bravery."

Another round of solemn royal music finished the ceremony... Prince Roland came and shook Saber Rider's hand: "Ready for the next step, Star Sheriff?"

"Ready!" replied Saber Rider, throwing a long look at his fellow male friends. The handshake with prince Roland was their secret sign.

The prince walked to Princess Marleine ...and put one knee down in front of her... A little girl came with a pillow bearing a ring... Princess Marleine was holding her breath in total surprise. She looked down at the kneeled Prince and blushed...

"Your Highness, Princess of Liechtenstein..., I humbly come before you to ask... Will you marry me?"

The Star Sheriffs were still on the podium, after the decoration ceremony. April was holding her fist on her chest, in an awe-stricken pose. She wanted to pull Jesse by his sleeve, thinking that maybe he was not paying attention to the new developments. But when she turned to him, he was also kneeled... in front of her! April's heart jumped!

"Will you marry me, April?..."

Next to her, Colt was kneeled, holding Robin's hand... His voice was trembling: "Robin, I... I'd like to ask you... will you marry me?"

Next to Colt, Fireball was also down on one knee. She felt his hand shaking, while he asked her: "Claudia..., will you... marry me?"

The last one in the row, Saber Rider..., was looking up at Sincia, holding her hand: "Sincia, I... love you! Will you marry me?"

The room was in absolute silence, pricking their ears to hear the girls answering...

"Yes, I will!" replied the princess, closing her eyes in emotion.

"Yes, Jesse, I will..." April replied out loud.

"Yes, Colt, absolutely," and Robin hugged him.

"Yes, I will, Fireball!" Claudia held her face in her palms, in a total surprise.

"I will, Saber Rider! I love you too!" Sincia exclaimed in blissfulness.

Confetti and balloons poured down from the ceiling, and everyone in the room started applauding and cheering. King Jarray shook Commander Eagle's hand and invited him for another toast.


A year after discovering Earth..., inside a Royal star fleet ship:

"Sincia, what do you think?" April turned around towards her.

"I think it looks great on you! The white flower in your hair will look absolutely splendid."

"Do you think it matches my dress?"

"Of course, you have the same flowers on the lace. What about me, how do you think this necklace will fit?"

"You are the most beautiful bride in the world, Sincia! You'll knock Saber Rider off his feet!" said April, in admiration. Sincia's black hair was coming down on her white shoulders, making her dress look even more bright.

"We are all going to be the best brides in the Universe!" Robin showed up from another room, dressed up in a long draped white wedding gown.

"Oh, Robin, you look like a princess!" said Claudia, who was just coming from across the hallway, from her own room. "I think I will have some problems coming in and out through the doors with this dress, ha ha!" Claudia laughed, looking at her own bell-shaped dress. She was wearing her curly hair in a high updo.

"Don't worry, Claudia, you will be fine! I, on the other hand, might need some extra help carrying this long train..." Princess Marleine showed up from the end of the hallway, surrounded by lots of cute little girls, dressed up in pink lace party gowns. The Princess had learned to speak the new language quite well.

"Your Highness, you look stunning...!" all the girls exclaimed in admiration.

"You all look fantastic! Let's take more pictures!" a photographer showed up, holding a camera. "Let's all go into this larger room here! Come, follow me!"

More people entered the scene, holding cameras and taking pictures. Lots of bridesmaids, lots of friends, lots of children also: little girls, holding baskets with flowers, garlands, veils... A group of girls were carrying princess Marleine's long train. People bustling everywhere... and five brides, all ready for the biggest day of their life... This was all happening inside King Jarray's Monarch Supreme Starship.

They were flying in circles around Earth, preparing to land at a surprise location. The five grooms wanted their brides to be kept in suspense about the location of the ceremony.

"Is everyone ready?" a gentleman, dressed in a black tuxedo, entered the guest room.

"Oh yes we are... Or..., are we?" the girls started laughing...


"Beautiful day to have our weddings outdoors, huh?" Fireball yawned, trying to seem calm and indifferent.

"Quite so," Jesse re-positioned his bow-tie and closed his eyes. He reclined against a colorful big boulder.

"Are you excited, Jesse?" asked Fireball.

"Yeah, can't you tell?" Jesse smiled.

"I can't really tell much from your face. You've always thrown a cool stance around," Fireball replied.

"Yeah, that's why they call me Mr Blue. On the other hand, your name is pretty eloquent, also..., Fire...ball... You sure show your anger quite easily, just like a flame," Jesse glanced back at him.

"Yep, I'm hot-headed, I know that for sure!" he laughed. "But don't worry, I extinguished the old rage against you. It's looong gone, bud."

"Good, because today I was concerned that I had to put on a firefighter suit, instead of this tuxedo..." said Jesse, looking at Fireball with the corner of his eyes.

They both burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Prince Roland's wrist watch started beeping:

"It's the Monarch Supreme Ship. They are ready to descend. Let's give them the coordinates."


The five brides gathered in the pilot's cabin, looking in curiosity at the landscapes they were flying over.

"Look, that is a big canyon underneath! Just like the one at the Cavalry Command training center!" said April, with an amazed look. "Is that the place we are going?"

"Non, madame, we are going somewhere else. This is called The Grand Canyon. We are not going to land here," replied the pilot.

The ship took more altitude and sped up. The land soon disappeared and a vast ocean formed below.

"Are we going to land on an island?" Sincia was also very curious. She didn't know what kind of a surprise the boys were going to offer them.

"I heard there are some gorgeous islands in the Pacific ocean," said Robin, who documented herself in the past year about the geography of Earth.

"No, it seems like the islands were not the choice, either," sighed Claudia. They already crossed the Pacific ocean and were now hovering over Asia.

"Are we going back to Geneva...?" asked princess Marleine.

"Non, madame, that is not the place, either," replied the pilot, smiling. He knew where they were going to land, but he was not allowed to disclose that.

The ship took a large turn and started descending, in big circles.

"Robin, do you know where this is?" asked Claudia.

"From what I remember, this is supposed to be China... But it's quite a vast territory, so I don't know where they are taking us..."

Everyone was looking out the window, in curiosity.

"Ahem... mademoiselles... please follow me..." someone opened a door for the girls and invited them out of the pilot's room.

"I want to stay and watch the descent... Why are we...?" Robin complained.

"Shht, it's supposed to be a surprise, Princess Marleine giggled."

"Everyone has to buckle up during the descent," said the butler. "Please, be seated."

The girls held on to their bouquets and entered a room with beautifully decorated royal chairs. The central one was a little bit bigger, like a throne. Princess Marleine was invited to sit on it. The chairs automatically activated the seat belts. They were silk white, appropriate for the occasion. A beautiful vase with Chinese decorations and holding a bouquet of white roses was adorning the center of the room.

"I feel like this is going to be something very very unexpected," said April, taking a deep breath.

The ship slowly touched down. After a few minutes and lots of sounds of machinery, the entire room started moving.

"Oh, girls, I'm dizzy. Are they going to spin us around?" Robin asked, worriedly.

"I don't know... But I never thought I wouldn't know where my wedding was going to be, or how it's going to look like..." Claudia laughed.

Suddenly, the walls of the room started moving... The seat belts went off and the girls stood up and looked around them. The walls started retracting and the ceiling slid apart on one side. A cool breeze came upon them, and a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds revealed itself above them. A red carpet rolled in front of them and opened the way out.

"Aaaahhh...," all the girls gasped. All around them, strong red, yellow, blue and green colors started reflecting on their white dresses. It was a landscape like never seen before. Hills colored in the RAINBOW colors! No, they were not covered in flowers! Just an endless row of hills made out of rainbow-colored stones!

"This is breathtaking...!" April held her bouquet on her chest. "Earth is truly the precious stone of this galaxy!"

A ripple of applause came from around them. People were coming from behind the hills, cheering and welcoming them. They were the wedding guests: Royal family guests, Cavalry Command officers and leaders, friends, families, people from Earth... and a little robot on wheels: Doctor Hassim.

An old gentleman, dressed up in a traditional Chinese costume, advanced in front of the brides and took a bow.

"Welcome to the Rainbow Mountains of China! We used to call it the Zhangye Danxia Geopark," continued the old man. "It is an honor to have you here!"

A few royal trumpets playing regal tunes resounded across the hills.

"His Majesty, King Jarray of the Kingdom of Jarre!" a soldier saluted.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess of Liechtenstein, allow me to escort you," said King Jarray, slowly walking down the red carpet, towards her.

"April, I will have the pleasure of escorting you..." said Commander Eagle, aligning himself along his daughter.

"Claudia..." and Mario Firenza extended his arm...

"Robin..." her father proudly walked next to her...

"Sincia..." her father was also there, proud to lead her to the altar.

The red carpet was going up a small hill. On top of it, there was a big round deck with a balcony, decorated with flowers and ribbons... The long procession was opened by family members, the groomsmen, then the bridesmaids and the little girls wearing flowers. Right in front of King Jarray, five little children were carrying the rings.

As they were walking on a fanfare of royal music, the brides started seeing the balcony on top of the hill. There they were! Five tall handsome men, all dressed up in tuxedos, waiting for their loved ones.

A priest dressed up in a long cloak opened the ceremony... A choir of girls and boys, dressed up in white, was chanting around them... It was all just like in a dream.

Saber Rider looked up to the sky, while the priest commenced his service... Thoughts about the war, big mechas, Renegade units, Nemisis, Ramrod blowing hits around..., they were all succeeding in his mind, like a film. All of it was over. He turned his head and saw Sincia next to him. The film in his head stopped right then and there. A new chapter in the history of humanity was just about to begin.


"...I now declare you... husband and wife!" and the priest blessed each couple. "You may kiss the bride!"

"Huraaaayyy!" the people were all chanting around and clapping their hands. A squadron of jet planes flew over them and drew colorful hearts on the sky.

"Careful, pard, leave some smooching for the honeymoon!" Colt could not hold back from poking everyone around. Fireball and Claudia's long-lasting kiss was breaking the world's wedding record.

Music echoed among the rounded colorful mountains. A big decorated wedding tent in the distance was waiting for all the guests...


April woke up the next morning... She was in a comfortable bed, inside a space ship... She rubbed her eyes...

"Where am I?... Jesse?..." she stood up and looked around. A gorgeous mountainous view, bathed in gold-like colors, was reflecting through the window.

"Ta-daaaa!" he entered the room, with a big breakfast tray...

"Yumm, this smells delicious...Where are we, Jesse?"

"Inside a ship, called... the Badlander..."

"Badlander? I thought that was long gone, scrap pile!" April exclaimed.

"Well... Prince Roland offered to refurbish it and I didn't refuse him", he laughed.

"Is it still yellow?..." April asked in suspicion.

"Yes, like your hair, my darling."

"Is that why you made your ship yellow?" she asked in surprise.

"Of course. It reminded me of you, gorgeous!" he smiled.

"Are you still going to call it "Badlander?"

"Do you want me to call it the "Goodlander?"

She puffed in amusement: "No way, it sounds too hilarious! Leave it like that, it makes me think of the bad-ass that lies within you! Hee hee! Where are we? Where did you take me for honeymoon?"

"These are the Golden Mountains of Altai, in Russia. Do you like hiking?"

"I love it!" and she hugged him. "What about skiing? Do they have snow?"

"You bet they do!"

"Yay! I love you, Jesse!" April was happy. Skiing was her second nature.


Claudia woke up to a very bright morning light. Up in the distance, a tall conic mountain, with a beautiful white coat on top of it, was throwing sparks of light toward her.

"Huh! Fireball, look!" she pulled the curtains.

"Yes, darling, we are at the base of mount Fuji. Do you like it?"

"Do I like it? It's splendid!"

"Wait until you see the rest of Japan..." Fireball replied, proudly.

"Take me everywhere! I want to see all of it!" she was excited.


"Colt, where am I?" Robin was pulling away a drapery from the ship's window.

"What?" colt Rubbed his eyes. She woke him up.

"What happened after the wedding party? I don't remember you telling me we're going to travel somewhere else!"

"But... you didn't want to stay forever among those colored boulders in China, did you?" Colt winked at her.

"So you flew somewhere else? Where are we? This looks incredible!"

"This is Texas, baby! Yeee-haaah!" and Colt jumped out of bed and embraced her. Outside, big fluffy clouds were reflecting above a lake and a rocky hill.

"It's called The Enchanted Rock," said Colt. "I'll take you around it. Then we'll go see some beautiful waterfalls and canyons."

"Oh, Colt, you're the best!"


"Huh? Was ist das?" Princess Marleine lifted her head up from the pillow. Prince Roland was still asleep. She slowly rose up from bed and looked around... A strange flickering light was coming from out the window. "So this is what woke me up..." she thought to herself. It was the light playing on the surface of a lake... A tall mountain with lots of snow and crevices was overlooking it...

"We are up in the Canadian Rockies..." said the Prince, slowly waking up from bed.

"This looks splendid! I spent a few vacations with my family up here in Canada, when I was a kid. Oh, I have so many dear memories from here! Let's go around the lake!"

"Your wish is my command, my Princess!"


"What? Are we someplace else today?" Sincia asked herself, peeking through the crack of the window blinders.

"Here, let's open them up!" Saber Rider pushed a button and flipped the blinders open. "Ha haaa, surprise!" and he hugged her.

"Where are we?"

"We are on Shetland Islands, in Scotland," said Saber Rider, proudly.

He parked the ship close to a tall cliff, overlooking a long beach and the ocean.

"Oh, I can't wait to take a bath in the ocean! Let's fly there, Saber Rider!"

"Fly? We can walk... There's a trail..."

"But you have a jet-pack... And a flying horse... You know how much I like it when you fly me up... into the sky!" she giggled.


"So... chums... I hope I didn't miss anything from my story..." Saber Rider cleared his voice and closed a holographic video. He was sitting down inside a gazebo, facing a forest and a Highland castle. Around him, lots of kids were listening, latched on to his story.

"Wow, what a great story! You are a true hero, Saber Rider!" a boy stood up and raised his hand in triumph.

"Mom, Saber Rider is going to take us for a ride on Steed today!" a girl waved at her mother in the distance.

"Yaaay!" all the children jumped out of the gazebo and ran toward the mechanical horse.


-The End-


Oh, wait, Jesse Blue wants to say something:

"Hold it right there, dear reader! I have a surprise for you! Click on to the next chapter, called Epilogue"

Wink-wink!
