December 19th, 2199

On the Fury, Admiral Drake begins the execution of Slasher, while Shell X, Spectre, Xrileshr, Sharlena, Gravedigger, Avalon, Index, and Cheryl have to witness it. However, after Cheryl and Slasher come to the brink of expressing their love for each other, the execution happens and Index is all too happy. But when he comes to brag about it to Spectre and Gravedigger, Admiral Drake plays his hand and Slasher, who lived with the aid of X2, stops Index. Paladin is brought in as Index escapes and all hell breaks lose on the Fury as they track him down. But when Index is cornered, he self-destructs and kills Sharlena, Garland's daughter. Elayne comes in time to see her friend die and mourns for her along with everyone else and Drake is blamed for it! But before things can calm down, a visit from the 2nd Council Member of the Tsivrixsh Empire occurs.

Back on another planet, the Hunters under Snipe have a party, aas Death Star and Garland spar and Snipe has sweet bliss with the natives. The others plot what to do next when the Red Beards arrive, led by an angry Red, who is cooled slightly by Gazer. However, miscommunication leads to a battle between the two groups, in which Ace Hunter and Gazer watch in dismay, until Orlonre is killed. The two groups reach an understanding and repair the Red Beard and head off to end Lord Talon's reign.

Back on Earth, the Resistance moves into Paris, only to be attacked by Earth's governor. Wiendigo and Dominator attempt to take the machine out that the governor controls, but fail, and Matrix self-destructs himself to destroy it, saving the others. But they learn their fates may be cut short by an incoming meteor.

Admiral Drake and the others make a deal with the 2nd Council Member, against Xril's wishes. They make a deal to work together to defeat Talon. The female council member sends the team off to see if a claim is true that Spade is the mastermind behind the Endgame, but after a strange bizzare of events, in which Gravedigger and Paladin discuss normal things, they learn that Spade is nothing more than a vegetable, and Lord Talon is the mastermind. The group quickly heads off to his planet to defeat him.

Meanwhile, the Hunters and the Pirates arrive and the Hunters are captured by Lord Talon. Red and Riptire must make a difficult decision placed by Gazer to aid, against Azazel's wishes, and heads off to rescue the Hunters. But inside the prison, they are being tortured and BJ's back is trashed once more, crippling him as they escape from the prison and land on the Red Beard. They head off and Death Star finally goes head to head against Snipe on his freezing up and the truth is revealed as Snipe tells of his past and the death of a little boy.

The team then attacks the satalite, hoping to stop the meteors from launching, but fail as one takes off. Red crashes the Red Beard straight into meteor in the only attempt they to catch up with it.

Back on the Fury, the others arrive in time for the meteor to fly by and Talon launches an attack, kidnapping Elayne, the final piece of the Endgame puzzle. The others leap into the portal after her.

Back on the meteor, Red says his last words before dying, leaving Azazel with a feeling of nothing . . .but revenge. When the others teleport to them, the entire group heads into the meteor where Slash is hooked up to the machine known as 'Endgame', powered by all the Robot Masters, Azuls who acts as Protoman, and Slash, who acts as Zero. And Elayne and the DS human clones act as the focal point for the weapon. The battle breaks out, with Avalon fighting against Shade Man and Death Star against Slash, who has been programmed to kill them all. The others attempt to escape as the Endgame blows out of control.

After a long, confused battle, the group reaches the surface, with Slash dead behind them. Death Star is weak from his battle and lets the others take on Lord Talon, who battles Ace Hunter to the death. Arriving to aid them, Garland learns of Sharlena's death and goes physco, trying to destroy Talon in a fit of rage. But as the battle continues on, Talon destroys Shell X's programming and destroys him, then kills Diamondback in one blow.

Garland sends Talon into a suicidal role as the energy is crackling around the meteor but Snipe knocks him off, only in return to by almost killed by Garland. The other Hunters heal him barely and right as they are all about to be caught up in Ground Zero, Death Star comes in and teleports them to the surface, where Drake and Slasher teleport them back to the Fury.

Now the Red Beards are led by Gazer, with Azazel quitting the group. Garland is left on the verge of death within his very soul and Elayne has Death Star, who is like her father - since she is the daughter of Airier, a clone of DS. And weirdest of all is Diamondback, who's body was wiped out by Talon, is now stuck in his girlfriend's body.

But the question now is: has the team's Fallout broken them up for good ... or can they forge themselves even stronger?
