Mathew Robert Ignash: Dear Renegade Rhetoric,
Can you honor us with tales of your glorious adventures from after you left the miserable rocky planet Quartex?
Cy-Kill: Damnation and good riddance to Quartex.

There was the time when Leader-1 and I were battling on a seemingly abandoned rogue planet, hurtling aimlessly through the cosmos, only to catch the attention of a hyper-evolved intelligence who abducted myself and my team, pitting us against the Guardian team in a ritualized arena fight. I reluctantly agreed to Leader-1's plan to work together to escape the clutches of what turned out to be an ancient supercomputer, following the instructions of a race long-since deceased.

Mathew Robert Ignash: Which warriors fought the alien arena?

As for the Arena of Strife, they snatched Crasher, Slicks, Destroyer, and myself, leaving only Cop-Tur to man our Thruster. We faced off against Leader-1, Scooter, Van Guard, and Defendor. I assume Turbo was left behind as well, for the Guardian Command Center continued to harass Cop-Tur and eventually forced him to engage the Stealth Device and go into hiding. I felt quite conflicted about the one-on-one encounters they forced us to participate in. On the one hand, it was a chance to annihilate a Guardian without them having access to their usual trick. On the other, Cy-Kill is nobody's puppet. In the end, I had no choice but to go along with Leader-1's plan to pursue the unusual energy reading Scooter had detected. It was quite satisfying to watch Crasher's seismic stomp blow the Guerr-O-Vac to smithereens.
