A woman, a customer of the club, intervenes in the dispute, causing the wrath of the thugs to fall upon her. She is able to handle herself, and more importantly, her attackers. Stick notices it was she who rode the red painted Ride Armor and saved their lives in the previous episode. The thugs, dealing with their defeat by Stick, Rey, Mint, Yellow, and Houquet Eroze the Ride Armor rider decide to kidnap a local man. His friend, though he has a sordid past with Mars Base, decides to join forces with Stick's group to rescue his friend.
