Synopsis:
After turning in another bounty, Kenix
Kil is yet again offered the reward on Kir
Kanos – and once again, refuses. His employer does not seem
surprised, and offers him a bounty on a cyborg pirate hiding in a
fortress. As Kil leaves,
the employer contacts the pirate and informs him that Kil
is coming. Kenix runs
into a battle over the fortress, with starfighters herding him
toward the fortress’ docking bay. It was a trap – but who and
why? He decides to use the direct approach and flies into the
hangar. It turns out his enemy, who knows full well that Kenix
Kil is Kir Kanos –
is the supposedly dead ex-Rebel Massimo. Ironically, he was saved
from being burned to death from the Zanibar by a stray shot from Kanos
himself. However, in the process, he was disfigured and forced to be
cyborged. And now having gone totally mad, he is used the aid of a
corrupt official to kill Kanos.
He could care less about the bounty – “I want your head on a
pike!!”
Kir outwits the battle
droids, which end up destroying each other. Massimo begs him not to
kill him, but Kir does
not listen -- he buries his force pike in Massimo’s chest. He did
not care about Massimo wanting revenge on him. But betraying his
commanding officer…”Well, you said it yourself, Massimo…’this
is not about money.’ This is about honour.”
