Synopsis:
The group comes to a settlement of soldiers led by the legendary Colonel Jonathan, leader of the famous Mars Base Angel Fang unit. It is not a military outpost, but rather a safe place where they come and relax. Apparently, the Inbit leave the city alone due to the number of soldiers encamped there. In Stick's dealings with the Inbit, he had seen no such fear. He doubts the party mentality of the town. But Stick awe of his hero is greater and agrees to go along on one of Jonathan's missions and is ambushed. Rey and Houquet confront a returned Johnson about what happened to Stick, and he agrees to take them to look him. Quickly they are ambushed by the Inbit, but Houquet arrives in a nick of time to save Rey, only for the pair to be forced to split up. Rey stumbles upon a meeting between a humanoid style Inbit and Jonathan, where the war hero receives some HBT cells. Rey realizes the connection, Jonathan trades his soldiers for the fuel, coming back a hero every time. Upon confronting him, Jonathan tries to justify his actions as keeping the civilian population safe.
Stick is found alive and well, and is none to happy to listen to Rey's story. As the Inbit attack again, Jonathan sees Stick is alive and learns that he was betraying those who believed in him. He borrows the group's Legioss and quickly defeats the aliens, but not before he is mortally wounded. He sees the error of his ways just before he dies in Stick's arms.
