Deathworld Sunsa

Having narrowly escaped Kummen in a tiny space shuttle, Chirico and Fyana next find themselves on board a gigantic, unnamed spaceship. A search through the lumbering vessel reveals no crew, only automatic control that cannot be shut down.

Resigned to go wherever the ship takes them, the two at last enjoy a quiet moment when an anthem suddenly blasts through the ship. Following it to a video monitor, Chirico is horrified to witness records of his former Red Shoulder Battalion and all its atrocities. He is haunted by these images as the ship carries them toward a waiting Balarant space fleet. Forced to defend themselves, Chirico and Fyana draw the attention of the Secret Society and Rochina, both of whom want to resume the chase. The Gilgamesh Army is against taking action that might endanger their treaty with the Balarant, so Rochina decides to follow his own path.

Ypsilon, meanwhile, is obsessed with destroying Chirico and reclaiming Proto-One. He leads several attacks on the two, all the while studied by the Secret Society's scientists Arron and Gurran, who are assigned with the task of learning all they can about the Perfect Soldier.

Besieged by both Ypsilon and the Balarant, Chirico and Fyana crash land on an airless desert world littered with wreckage from the war. convinced that some outside force wanted to send him here, Chirico realizes he has come to Sunsa, the site of the bloodiest battle of the Hundred Years War. He is surprised by the reappearance of Gotho and the others, who now employ themselves as arms dealers. Their supplier is a hard-bitten woman named Sophie, who offers Chirico and Fyana shelter in her fortress.

Ypsilon and his AT army are not far behind, however, and when Coconna accidentally reveals Chirico to be a former Red Shoulder (one of the demons responsible for the destruction of Sunsa), Sophie is only too willing to turn him over to his enemies. the ensuing battle brings the Balarant Army down on them all and scatters the survivors, including Sophie, who angrily tracks Chirico across the burning desert. Gotho's group finds Chirico in time to stop Sophie, but their problems aren't over; Fyana has not been re-energized by jijirium in days and is now close to death. Finally reaching the ruins of a supply base, Chirico locates the substance needed to save her...and Rochina makes his move.

Having defeated to the Balarant Army, Rochina captures the entire group in a gambit to pit Chirico against Ypsilon. When that battle finally begins, Rochina studies Chirico's every move. Despite Ypsilon's PS abilities, Chirico matches him blow for blow, fighting far beyond any normal human's abilities. "I see now," Rochina shouts. "Chirico is a Perfect Soldier!"

Shocked, Fyana stops the fight, but not in time to save Ypsilon, who dies insisting that Chirico must be a PS, for he could not bear the thought of being defeated by a mere human. Finally confronted with the missing links to his true heritage, Chirico leaves Fyana in Rochina's care and flies to Planet Quent, where Rochina promises he will find the answers.
