After crossing the Gulf of Mexico, the freedom fighters find themselves in a snowy mountain range. Thinking that they have eluded the Inbit for the time being, Stick's group is in high spirits, joking and eating one of their few decent meals. They do not realize yet that Aisha is an Inbit, and that the Refles is using her to track the rebels. Unfortunately for the group, Sorji also finds herself and her gurab seconds in the mountain range, stalking the rebels. She is desperate to make up for her hesitation earlier, but finds that she cannot hurt the rebel known as "Yellow." She orders her troops to attack the group, and orients herself on the leader of the group. The sudden attack splits up the group, separating them from their mecha. Their only hope is to utilize their snowy surroundings against the Inbit. Sorji confronts Aisha for the first time, and the Refles telepathically tries to bring her child back to the hive. However, she is unsuccessful, and Sorji is surprised by the appearance of the other freedom fighters. Stick's group moves on, Aisha trying to forget the strange experience, and Yellow quite a bit suspicious of the Inbit pilot, it almost seemed she knew Aisha.

The group of freedom fighters are at the northern tip of what was once called "South America." They devise a plan to cross the body of water between the two continents, using old gasoline driven ships that they found mothballed in a local shipyard. The rebels busy themselves with their preparation for the crossing. The Refles is also busy. She has finally found the perfect life form to dominate the Earth: the human being. She immediately creates a Solugi (humanoid inbit) prince and princess of the Inbit named Batra and Sorji, respectively. The Refles sends her children to combat the rebels that have corrupted her secret agent, Aisha the female who the group has adopted and has no memory of her past. . However, Sorji has similar problems to the lost secret agent. Human emotions are her downfall, and cause her to hesitate when it comes to destroying Yellow. The beginnings of love occur between Sorji and Yellow Belmont. Eventually, the rebels' cunning and courage fight off the Inbit and they make it to the northern continent.

In a devastated city, Stick's group is driven into the subway by the Refles' new mecha, the Gamo. What's more, they are sealed inside a small section of subway by the Refles' constant effort at their destruction. The Refles is not sure that the freedom fighters are dead, so she orders her Iigaa's to dig through the rubble. Tensions run high with the buried alive, what with the recent loss of Mint. Jim snaps and starts fights with both Rey and Stick. Jim's blow-up causes several people to think, especially Rey and Houquet. They decide to leave the group together, in hopes to find more people and possibly provide a little rest and relaxation for the group. However, deep down they both know that when they leave they are never coming back. Eventually, Rey engineers a nifty little escape, and the group escapes their would-be tomb. To their surprise, Mint is waiting for them near the other vehicles. The group is happy, but Rey and Houquet still decide to leave. Jim, Yellow, Aisha, and Mint decide to stay with Stick and keep fighting the Inbit. At the last moment, Houquet and Rey turn back and rejoin the group. The ordeal meant to split apart the group ended up unifying it, and Reflex Point is not far away.

The journey to Reflex Point takes Stick's group through a jungle near a giant Inbit stilt hive. This jungle is inhabited by a primitive tribe of people who worship the gods of the river, and believe that the rebel group has angered the river god. Meanwhile, the Refles creates a new type of Inbit mecha meant to provide heavy resistance to the Earth people. She begins to deploy the prototypes in an effort to attack the freedom fighters. The rebel band helps the river tribe defeat an Inbit patrol and please their river god. They then slip under a huge Inbit hive in rafts. This saves immeasurably on energy cells and keeps the Inbit from detecting their energy use. However, the freedom fighters are in low spirits after leaving Mint behind to marry McGruder, a tribal prince.

While camping inside a cave during a sandstorm, the group begins to bicker. Rey ends up being the object of everybody's anger because he gives water to Aisha that no one knew he had. Rey takes the criticism poorly and braves the sandstorm to find more water. Unfortunately, the sandstorm blinds Rey and he falls into a sand pit and has a hallucinatory dream. He gains insight into the Inbit's plans of the domination of the universe. Aisha is Rey's guide through his hallucinatory adventure, but Rey doesn't make the connection between the Inbit and Aisha.

After receiving a real map of the mountains, the rebels find that the only way through the range is through the Inbit. Stick devises a strategy to attack the base, with some very useful help from Rey. Rey and Mint sneak into the base, and attempt to knock out their energy detector. Stick orders everyone out of the base while he single-handedly destroys the base and the Inbit troopers.

A mountain range lies between Stick's group and Reflex Point, a mountain range with an Inbit base right in the middle of it. The group finds that there is a "secret route" through the mountains, but the map that indicates it costs quite a bit of money. Stick's group reluctantly looks for ways to make money. Yellow Belmont has a brush with his past, and we find out why he dresses up like a woman. His lost love is the fiance of the seller of the map, and she tells Yellow that the maps are fakes. There is more human betrayal in this episode, along with some brushes with death. In the end, Yellow's lost love stays with her fiance, and Yellow and the rest of the group trudge on to Reflex Point.

The rag-tag group of freedom fighters arrive at the fallback point of the Mars Base Recapture Missions. Unfortunately, the Inbit had arrived earlier and all that remains the invasion force is only a scattered hulks and corpse of ships, mecha and men. Stick was counting on this group is shocked and begins to lose hope in the mission. While on a scouting mission, Houquet and Rey find a naked woman who appears to be a battle survivor. In actuality, she is an agent of the Inbit Refles, engineered to spy on the freedom fighters. Houquet and Rey take her back to their camp. Yellow and Jim find several new fighters to add to their arsenal, and get to try them out against an Inbit patrol. Stick realizes that others are relying on him and enters into battle, destroying the Inbit patrol.

While scouting out a new campsite, Stick, Rey, and Mint fall into one of the Invid leader's "Genesis Pits" where she is doing strange experiments. Dinosaurs, monsters, Invid, and possession are all part of the evolutionary experiments conducted by the Inbit leader, the Refles. Rey figures that the Refles is trying to figure out what the dominant species on Earth is and how she can exploit it. Stick and Rey find out, through the Refles' possession of Mint, that the Refles plans to exterminate the humans in favor of the Inbit's ultimate life form.

The group comes to a settlement of soldiers led by the legendary Colonel Jonathan, leader of the famous Mars Base Angel Fang unit. It is not a military outpost, but rather a safe place where they come and relax. Apparently, the Inbit leave the city alone due to the number of soldiers encamped there. In Stick's dealings with the Inbit, he had seen no such fear. He doubts the party mentality of the town. But Stick awe of his hero is greater and agrees to go along on one of Jonathan's missions and is ambushed. Rey and Houquet confront a returned Johnson about what happened to Stick, and he agrees to take them to look him. Quickly they are ambushed by the Inbit, but Houquet arrives in a nick of time to save Rey, only for the pair to be forced to split up. Rey stumbles upon a meeting between a humanoid style Inbit and Jonathan, where the war hero receives some HBT cells. Rey realizes the connection, Jonathan trades his soldiers for the fuel, coming back a hero every time. Upon confronting him, Jonathan tries to justify his actions as keeping the civilian population safe. Stick is found alive and well, and is none to happy to listen to Rey's story. As the Inbit attack again, Jonathan sees Stick is alive and learns that he was betraying those who believed in him. He borrows the group's Legioss and quickly defeats the aliens, but not before he is mortally wounded. He sees the error of his ways just before he dies in Stick's arms.

Stick's group of fighters continues on their journey to find the Inbit's main hive, making a stop in a small town at Jim's urging. Jim made a promise to a friend he had in his unit, who died in an Inbit attack during the First Earth Recapture Mission. His promise was to deliver a book to his friend's father who lives in this town. The group gets behind Jim's effort and his happy to spend a little time in a small town. Unfortunately, the townspeople don't feel the same way. The group begins to notice that the townspeople are giving them the runaround. Eventually, after some of the group gets kidnapped, Jim forces an explanation out of the mayor. It turns out that the father of Jim's friend tried to keep the townspeople out of the war with the Inbit. He wanted them to leave the fighting to the soldiers. The townspeople wouldn't stand for the interference. In the end, they killed the peacemaker. Jim is disappointed, and ends the episode in a melancholy mood. He decides to keep the book to remember some of the things that the father of his friend stood for.

Houquet withdraws from the group more and more, until she finally leaves during the night. Rey follows to see what she is up to. Stick knows that they left, but decides to let them go. Rey follows Houquet to a cavern that surrounds a city. Houquet is at home, through a series of flashbacks and conversations, and remembers why she left and the people that made her leave. Her days in a street gang haunt her, and she confronts the members of a rival gang who beat her severely. This episode is filled with excellent character development for Houquet, and some depth is added to Rey's character at the same time. Stick decides to look for Houquet and Rey, and ends up tangling with the Inbit. Once again, Houquet saves Stick from certain doom, and puts her abusers to shame at the same time. Rey helps Houquet to see her mother one last time, and they are on their way, and she makes a vow to herself to stay with the group of freedom fighters, who have become her family.

Stick's group of makeshift freedom fighters stages a raid on an Inbit HBT cell store to replenish their own supplies. This human-run Inbit reserve is drawn off-guard by a huge concert by the famous Yellow. Stick, Houquet, and Rey infiltrate the storage complex armed with rope and an ancient map of the building and it's secret passages. No plan is ever perfect, and Stick, Houquet and Rey find themselves locked in a sealed room, filling slowly with water. Eventually, they get out, but Yellow has postponed the end of her concert too long, causing the city guard to get nervous. When the robbery is discovered, the Inbit arrive. But with a replenished supply of fuel cells, Stick's group scores an easy victory.

The team is learning to live and fight together. Some people rub others the wrong way, especially Houquet and Rey. While getting supplies, Stick, Houquet, Mint, Rand, and Jim are ambushed by Inbit. Stick realizes that he needs the Legioss to battle this squad, but is afraid to indicate their campsite by making a straight line to the armo-fighter. Yellow Belmont patiently waits by the fighter while the rest of the group fight the Inbit. Rey reveals both his survival skill in the episode, along with his excellent reasoning. He catches fish and helps the group to deal with the horrors of the wild, namely leeches. He also discovers that the Inbit can sense the use of active military hardware. This enables the team to elude the Inbit by using only the minimum amount of energy. With the help of Yellow, Stick finally reaches the fighter and destroys the Inbit patrol that has been tailing them.

Stick, Rey, and Mint happen upon a frontier town, run-down by the constant wars and apathy. A famous singer is performing at a local club, and the group walks in on a rather heated criticism of her performance. The local riff-raff are restless, and have chosen the famous singing star Yellow to torment. 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.
