A couple of hours later, the four have met up to watch the diplomats make the treaty official. The Outrider ships land and soon Nemesis and his officer exit the main vessel, meeting at the bottom of the ramp.

"Welcome to Alamo, Nemesis," a commander says, extending his hand in greeting.

"I trust you have completed the terms of the treaty?" Nemesis asks.

"We have," replies the commander.

Nemesis shakes the man's hand, and a series of flashes follow as reporters capture the moment. "Let's see just what has been done," he says and the delegates all head towards the scrapping depot.

The four friends watch the scene from above, all with varying degrees of doubt.

"The more I see, the worse the feeling I get about this..." Shinji muses as he watches the scene below.

"I've been sayin' that the whole time!," Colt retorts, tossing his hands into the air.

On the Outrider base. Commander Eagle, King Jared and a few other top brass are being led on a tour of the base.

"This was once our weapons cache," explains an Outrider Officer as they walk, occasionally, the delegates stopping to inspect things. "Just ahead is our main computer," the guide says, indicating a tall tower in the center of a vast space.

"This appears to be central to your weapons. Why is this still on?" A commander asks.

"As part of the treaty, this should be disabled, just as our Bismarck was. This could be just as volatile," King Jared states, causing the other men to stop and look at him. "Knowing this is still fully functioning gives me a very uneasy feeling."

The Outrider commander turns. "This computer is all we have left of our resources, if we terminate this computer before we find a new world, and we all die."

"Explain," King Jared says.

This computer is how we are still able to grow any food. Recycle water. Clean our air. If we shut this computer down, we'd all die within a matter of days," he counters. "If you truly want peace, then you should understand this."

Not completely satisfied, they let the issue drop and head back towards their ship. As they are walking, King Jared stops and turns back towards the room where the computer is in thought.

"What is it, my friend?" Commander Eagle asks, turning towards him, the others stopping and looking back.

"Do you feel it, Charles? It feels to me like that computer is alive."

Commander Eagle looks thoughtfully towards the room with the computer, "Is this what Shinjiro meant?" he mumbles with uneasiness.

"Shinjiro's warnings," the King concedes. "Perhaps we should not let our guard down so quickly."

The men then turn and return to their ship.

Colt and Robin are walking through the city, enjoying a fair that sprouted up in celebration of the peace treaty. As they walk, Colt spots a shooting game. Everyone is watching in awe as the man currently playing hits the majority of the targets. Intrigued, Colt goes over and asks about the cost and goal of the game. The proprietor replies and Colt holds up his coin, "If I hit all the targets and the coin before it hits the ground, how about callin' me the winner?"

"That's the best shooting I've ever seen!" the proprietor gushes as the surrounding crowd cheers.

Colt turns to grin at Robin, just to see disappointment cross her features as she turns to walk off.

"Robin? Robin! Wait!" he calls after grabbing the trophy and rushing after her. "Robin? What's wrong?" he asks, catching up to her.

"I thought you said you only used your blaster to defend people?" she says harshly. "Seems to me you were just showing off."

"I just wanted to win you a prize," Colt replies.

"I thought you meant it when you said you wanted peace. That you wanted to be with me. I guess you didn't really mean it," she says her voice breaking as she shakes his hand off and walks away quickly.

"Robin, wait...I…" Colt sighs as he loses sight of her in the crowd and turns the opposite direction, unsure of what else to do.

Robin is turning a corner when a ragged looking man sitting on a porch smoking stops her.

"It's not easy for a soldier to stop being a soldier, Miss," the man says.

Robin turns and looks to the man, "Huh?"

"He's been in this war for years. There ain't a switch you just flip and you're regular again. Believe me, I wish there was. A soldier cannot unsee the horrors of war overnight. His instincts are still on high alert. If you love him, support him. Let him talk it out, he'll come around."

Robin listens, tears threatening to fall and nods, "Th...thank you," she mutters before heading off once more.

Colt is standing beside a grave on a hillside watching the sunset when he senses someone approaching. Resisting the urge to turn, he waits as Robin approaches in a pale pink dress, a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Approaching the headstone, she places the flowers down in front of it.

"Robin?"

"I owe you an apology, Colt. I judged you too harshly before. If you will still have me, I'd like to try again," she says quietly.

"I told you before I fought to save people. When the Outriders first started appearing, I became a bounty hunter. I was one of the best. My parents, though they worried, they were proud of me making my own way. Then one night, Jesse and his men killed my parents for their land. Since that night I swore to avenge their deaths. So yes, this peace treaty is hard for me to accept. I am don't want to stop until he has paid for their deaths," he says holding up his blaster.

"I understand how you feel," Robin says quietly. "I've lost people too. So many have. But that's why I want peace so badly."

"So do I, Robin. I just don't believe it. I really do hope it's true. I want me, you, and Josh to be a family."

"Are...are you proposing to me?" she asks.

"I suppose I am," he replies and turns to face her.

Robin closes the gap between them and takes his blaster from him, placing it back in the holster, "Colt,"

"Shhh," he says, placing a finger to his lips before closing the gap completely and kissing her as the sun sets behind them.

Meanwhile Saber has returned home and he and his father have begun a fencing match, both in full gear. Each seems to have an advantage at one time or another, the match lasting quite a while. Pushing on, Edward manages to disarm Saber, and the two stop, both grabbing towels, wiping sweat from their brows after removing their face masks.

"You may be considered legendary for your skills, son, but you are not beyond defeat," Saber's father says with a hint of amusement, his breath heavy from exertion.

"Aye sir." Saber replies as he removes his helmet.

"Now Edward, I'm sure he's going easy on you. Come and have some tea, won't you?" Mary Rider says from a table on the patio, wrapped in a robe, looking weak.

"You wouldn't go easy on me, would you?" he asks Saber as Saber catches his breath.

"No sir," Saber replies, wiping his brow.

"Bah, even of you were, it's alright," he replies as he goes and sits beside his wife, taking a sip of tea from his cup. "I'm just glad the bloody war is over and you've come back while your Mum is still with us. Perhaps the Almighty wanted you to see her again."

Saber looks off in thought, suddenly a million miles away, replaying various battled over in his mind.

"Saber?" his mother calls, seeing his expression. "Richard? Are you alright? Is something troubling you?"

Snapping out of his reverie he shakes his head slightly, "No, just memories of my past, I'm fine."

"Well, relax now, peace is at hand."

"Aye son, let's enjoy this time we have together," Edward says with a laugh.

Shinji is leading the pack as several racers pass through a checkpoint, April watching from the sidelines.

"The Red Fury driven by Fireball Hikari is in the lead!" A voice says over the PA system.

"Go Shinji! Leave 'em in the dust!" April yells as he passes by her, her hair blowing around from the wind kicked up by the racers.

"Looks like Hikari is taking the sole lead." The announcer says.

"Just gotta keep this pace," Shinji mutters to himself, as flashbacks from battles start rushing into his mind;s eyes, momentarily distracting him.

Another car catches up and bumps him, pulling him back to the present, but not in time to keep control. His car spins out, and flips before hitting the wall and bursting into flames.

"Shinji!" April screams in fear before jumping a barricade and racing towards the wreckage, only to be grabbed and held back by a worker as fire crews work to put out the fire.

"It doesn't look good for Fireball Hikari," comes the announcement over the PA.

"Shinji!" April calls out, tears falling from her face. "No! No! Shinji!"

A hand touches her shoulder and she turns to see Shinji before her. A bit scuffed up, but very much alive.

"Shinji?!" she says in shock.

He nods and pulls her into a hug.

"You idiot! I...I thought you were dead!" she says, sobbing against him.

Later that day, Shinji and April are playing on the beach, running hand in hand. They eventually tire and flop onto the sand, both stretched out on their backs. Shinji reaches and takes April's hand again and she turns to face him and smiles. He moves closer, the over her, leaning in to kiss her when she playfully smacks him and wriggles from under him and takes off laughing."Hey! Get back here!" Shinji calls as he clamours up and starts after her.

"Gotta catch me first, Raceboy!" April says laughing.

"Oh I will!" Shinji replies laughing as he races after her down the beach, both laughing. "Just you wait!"

"Well, Chancellor, our plan has worked perfectly. A couple of months and their guard is down." Jesse states to Nemesis on the vid screen.

"Very good. Commence phase two."

"As you command," Jesse replies. "You know your roles, do it," Jesse says over his com.

Outrider soldiers rush a Cavalry command complex, killing the guards and grabbing weapons, destroying anything in their path.

"Yuma Command, this is Alamo Moon we are under attack! The Outriders have turned."

"Yuma here. We are launching a fleet to assist you. Are you sure it's the Outriders?"

"Yes, the settlers hav-" the connection terminates, the screen goes dark.

"Yuma calling Alamo, come in." he gets no reply, so the officer turns to the man beside him. "Get me Commander Eagle!"

"Yes sir!"

"It looks like it was too good to be true, Your Highness," a commander states to King Jared as they listen to the radio chatter.

"So it seems," he replies.

Grabbing the mic the commander calls over the PA, "All units, the Outriders have broken the treaty. All Outriders are to be considered a threat. Those that can fight, prepare defences."

"I offer my kingdom's military assistance. I am activating fleets now."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Colt pulls up in a jeep to Yuma's Cavalry Command Headquarters, just as Shinji and April arrive. "I take it you've been summoned too?"

"Yeah," they reply in unison.

"What about Saber?" Shinji asks.

Colt points upward.

"I've just arrived, Cowboy," Saber replies as he lands on Donatello close to them. "Apparently we've been summoned," he states, just as a fleet of fighter ships take off.

"Huh?" they all say as they turn to see the ships taking off.

"Let's go see what this is about," Saber states and they all head inside.

Heading to the command center, they hear radio chatter regarding numerous attacks.

"The treaty's shot?" Shinji asks.

"I'm afraid so," Commander Eagle replies solemnly.

"Can't say I'm all that shocked," Colt retorts.

"Not now, Colt," Shinji admonishes. He looks to his friends. "Let's go do what we can."

"Even without the Bismarck," Saber adds.

"We're as good as dead anyways," Colt states.

"We've got to try," Saber replies.

"It falls to us," Colt says.

"I'm sorry, Daddy," April says quietly.

"Let's go!" Shinji says and the four turn to leave.

"Wait!" Commander Eagle states as the chatter becomes more frantic. "We aren't entirely defenseless."

"Huh?" the four reply.

"I agreed to destroy the original Bismarck. I never mentioned we had a second one."

"What?" they all reply in shock.

"Why didn't I know of this?" April asks as they follow the commander through a few corridors.

"The only ones that knew, are those currently here. All the notes on bugs and glitches you sent? All of that has been taken into account," the commander states as he swipes his EBU and a set of doors open to reveal a brand new Bismarck. "The Bismarck II."

"Whoohoo!" Colt whoops. "Looks like we got a chance afterall."

"The firepower and everything is at least twice what it was. It was built before the treaty, in secret."

"So they didn't know to include it," Shinji replies.

"Right. I was hoping we'd never need it."

"All systems are go, Commander," a tech says as he approaches the group.

"Shall we give it a run?" Shinji asks.

"Godspeed, all of you," the commander says, shaking Shinji's hand. "Do your best."

"Let's go!" Shinji says and they get in and launch.

"Commence full attack on Alamo Moon. Leave nothing standing!" Nemesis calls.

Fighters are launched for both sides. Renegade units start leveling parts of the city. Fighters engaged on both ground and air.

"We tried to make peace, but the Outriders broke the treaty and are wreaking havoc and destruction on Alamo Moon. If we can chase them from this dimension, we will leave them be, but if they choose to fight, then we will stand together and defeat them!" Commander Eagle says to the council assembled on Yuma.

Cheers erupt and then more fighters are launched.

Jesse watches on his screen as more and more fighters rush to the aid if Alamo Moon. "That's right. Go help what's left of Alamo Moon. Soon enough, Yuma will be defenseless, and then the entire New Frontier will fall."

"Corporal Blue, Vigilante fighter squad is launching to attack Yuma!"

"Thery're what?!"

"Uhhhh…"

Jesse flicks on a com screen to the launch bay, "Call those Vigilantes back, NOW!"

"I don't want you getting all the glory, Blue, so I'm launching before you tell them."

"You moron! You'll give away our position! Get them back and wait for my mark or you'll be put in cryosis permanently!"

"The soldier looks fearful, "Ye...yes sir!"

The screen flicks off and Jesse turns on the two soldiers in the room with him. "You two knew about this and didn't tell me beforehand?"

"Ummm…" the two stammer.

Jesse grabs them, shoots one and tosses him aside, still holding the other he glares at him, "Pull a stunt like that again and you'll beg for death, got it?"

"Yes sir,"

Jesse releases the soldier and picks up some schematics, "This will be Yuma's downfall," he says with a malicious grin. "We just hit it from afar with our Kobalt Blaster." Jesse laughs, then heads down a floor to where some Outriders are working. "How much longer before it's ready?"

"Not long, but these things can't be rushed."

"Well, I suggest you double your workers and get it done faster."

"Hey guys, I'm picking up an huge energy reading," April says.

"Oh? Can you send it to the big screen?" Shinji asks.

"Sure thing," she replies, and the large screen locks up.

"It looks like it's the asteroid."

"But it's not," April replies.

"It's coming from behind it," Saber says..

"Outriders," Shinji states.

"I'd be willing to bet it's their base. When I went in there after Jesse, I saw thousands and thousands of Outriders in cryo chambers, I bet that needs a lot of energy to maintain."

"I'll check it out. Let me see if I can get a better fix on the base," April replies.

"That's a lot of energy for a planet supposedly devoid of energy to have," April states.

"They were hoarding it. But for what purpose?" Saber muses.

"A big attack?" Colt asks.

"Looks like it. Let's go check it out," Shinji says.

"Right." the others reply, hopping back into their units.

"Corporal Blue, an unknown vessel has locked on and is tracking us," a soldier says as he approaches Jesse, entering the control room once more.

"What? Get me a full report. I want to know who, what, speed, and mass of that ship immediately!"

"Yes sir!"

"Um...sir?"

"Yes?"

"You're not going to believe this…"

"What is it?" Jesse snaps.

"It...it's the B...Bismarck."

"Impossible! I saw it destroyed with my own eyes! I personally melted the engines down."

"Should we retreat?"

"No! Send out the vigilante fleet!"

"Yes Sir."

"Looks like we got company," April says.

"Good, I'm itchin' to try out these blasters," Colt retorts.

"Head straight in, push our way through," Saber says as Colt begins firing.

"Whoohoo!" Colt whoops. "I'm likin' the new firepower!"

"We've got more incoming," Saber states.

"Let's go to challenge phase!" Shinji calls before starting the sequence.

The ship transforms, then they activate all the blasters, decimating most of the enemy fleet at once.

Jesse is watching his fleet's destruction, awestruck of the new firepower. Incredible," he mutters, as the lights fade on his screen.

A secondary screen pops up, the leading Outrider scientist appears. "The Kobalt Blaster is ready."

"Excellent! Fire it at Alamo Moon. Let these Star Sheriffs see just how outgunned they are."

"Yes sir." Then over PA, "Kill all non-essential power and shift to Kobalt Blaster."

Lights dim, machines shut down.

"Blaster ready to fire, Corporal"

Jesse takes aim, locks on, and fires.

In a matter of moments, the target is decimated.

The light passes goes from the base, the crew of the Bismarck watch in horror as Alamo Moon disintegrates.

"Fy nhuw!" Saber mutters as he crosses himself.

"It's...gone," April whispers as the light fades.

Commander Eagle and others watch in horror as the shot is fired. Through the silence as the light fades, Jesse appears on the screen.

"You've seen what I can do. Yuma will be next. Surrender or suffer the same fate. You have twenty-four hours," Jesse says before ending the transmission.
