Upon escaping, he runs into Max (and Lash, who's baiting Olaf), who says that Orange Star is struggling to keep the attackers out, and they're planning to incite a rebellion within Blue Moon to get some breathing room since Olaf will have to turn his attention to that. And Colin is the lucky candidate.

He had retired to open his shop, but Nell came and requested him to talk to Sensei specifically because of their personal connection, though it doesn't seem necessary since Sensei has already started his coup.

Max is aware that Lash is Blue Moon's public enemy number one, but he doesn't want Yellow Comet to punish ALL of Black Hole for what their [=COs=]'transgressions.

%% Pretty Fears - Sensei asks of Adder's origins; he knows he has some skill, yet never even heard of him before the war in Macro Land, as if he and the other Black Hole COs just spawned out of nowhere. Adder explains it comes from (so many) practice fights, sorting out the competent from the useless. At least that's how Adder became a CO. He doesn't know where Sturm found Hawke, Lash was recruited for her technical skill rather than any tactical ability, and as far as Adder knew, Hawke just promoted Flak on a whim. Sturm pitted all the wannabe commanders against one another in practice fights, and he came out on top.

Hawke thinks Adder's just fearing Sensei and Hachi's names, but Adder isn't loyal to Hawke, only the strong, and right now Hawke isn't it.
%% After the battle, Sensei claims to have seen the end of it as Adder drove off Hawke. When the defector asks Sensei to teach him, the senior asks why he should take a Black Hole CO who once brought Yellow Comet to its knees as his pupil. Adder answers that fighting for Sturm was all he knew, his whole world. Everything he read about the rest of Wars World was information needed to conquer it. But then his world shattered, and Black Hole ceased to become a superpower, and Adder had just renounced Hawke. He's lost, and needs someone to show him where to go, and believes that if Sensei taught him, he could fundamentally change as a person, then he can spread his teachings to the rest of Black Hole, to give them a sense of purpose. It would depend on what he's taught, but maybe, just maybe that would lead to a purpose that is more than conquest and making people squirm. Sensei says he's too old to take in pupils, but will allow Adder to follow. (Colors determine faction, and Adder now falls under yellow) However, if he would use this for evil, Sensei will wipe his puny existence from the world.
%% Twisted - Sami prepares to intercept Eagle's forces. Jess tells Sami that there are few instances where she's seen Eagle''s face brightens up, and whenever the Orange Star CO is brought up by name, he perks up like a giddy schoolboy. Jess wants to spare the heartache by goin in Sami's stead, but she's resolute and hopes to get him to stop fighting by forcing him to face her (Jess also argues this could also risk him getting over Sami in order to fight on).
%% But instead of Eagle, Sami faces Sonja instead, who knew this might happen and convinced Eagle to hand his troops over to her.
%% Protective Instinct - In response to Colin's insurrection, Olaf orders Grit towards... seizing his family as hostages, only for Grit to say enough is enough and stand up against him.
%% After beating him, Grit warns that this course of action would be no better than when Lash went for Olaf's hometown. Seeing his point, Olaf backs off.
%% And then Max arrives and not only does he misinterpret the situation, he gets the idea to get Grit and Nell together again as a political move.
%% Sailor's Choice - Seeing the uprising Jess is stirring up, Sonja sends Drake to handle her forces. He doesn't want to follow, but has to once Eagle gives the order as a Green Earth CO. Once the naval CO is gone, Sonja decides to have a talk with the air force CO over his crush.
%% In the battle, Jess bemoans her opponent, but Drake has tomeven after hearing Sami's side of the story. He has to anyway in order to suss out the truth... just like he did in the Cosmo Land conflict.

%% Lash apparently has a "grand finale" in mind and decides to behave so that she doesn't screw up her own eventual role in it. Colin hopes there's something that can be done to help her.
%% Pretty Fears - Sensei asks of Adder's origins; he knows he has some skill, yet never even heard of him before the war in Macro Land, as if he and the other Black Hole COs just spawned out of nowhere. Adder explains it comes from (so many) practice fights, sorting out the competent from the useless. At least that's how Adder became a CO. He doesn't know where Sturm found Hawke, Lash was recruited for her technical skill rather than any tactical ability, and as far as Adder knew, Hawke just promoted Flak on a whim. Sturm pitted all the wannabe commanders against one another in practice fights, and he came out on top. Sensei's evaluation: Adder had been mistreated, pressured to succeed, and after succeeding let it get to his head, making him think he could take on the world... and did, until the world beat him. (Adder agrees with that summation.)
%% Just like in "Former Foe", Hawke wants to backstab all the other nations. And just like in there, Adder is against it, though only because of who's leading the insurgency. Hawke thinks Adder's just fearing Sensei and Hachi's names, but Adder isn't loyal to Hawke, only the strong, and right now Hawke isn't it.
%% After the battle, Sensei claims to have seen the end of it as Adder drove off Hawke. When the defector asks Sensei to teach him, the senior asks why he should take a Black Hole CO who once brought Yellow Comet to its knees as his pupil. Adder answers that fighting for Sturm was all he knew, his whole world. Everything he read about the rest of Wars World was information needed to conquer it. But then his world shattered, and Black Hole ceased to become a superpower, and Adder had just renounced Hawke. He's lost, and needs someone to show him where to go, and believes that if Sensei taught him, he could fundamentally change as a person, then he can spread his teachings to the rest of Black Hole, to give them a sense of purpose. It would depend on what he's taught, but maybe, just maybe that would lead to a purpose that is more than conquest and making people squirm. Sensei says he's too old to take in pupils, but will allow Adder to follow. (Colors determine faction, and Adder now falls under yellow) However, if he would use this for evil, Sensei will wipe his puny existence from the world.
%% Twisted - Sami prepares to intercept Eagle's forces. Jess tells Sami that there are few instances where she's seen Eagle''s face brightens up, and whenever the Orange Star CO is brought up by name, he perks up like a giddy schoolboy. Jess wants to spare the heartache by goin in Sami's stead, but she's resolute and hopes to get him to stop fighting by forcing him to face her (Jess also argues this could also risk him getting over Sami in order to fight on).
%% But instead of Eagle, Sami faces Sonja instead, who knew this might happen and convinced Eagle to hand his troops over to her.
%% Protective Instinct - In response to Colin's insurrection, Olaf orders Grit towards... seizing his family as hostages, only for Grit to say enough is enough and stand up against him.
%% After beating him, Grit warns that this course of action would be no better than when Lash went for Olaf's hometown. Seeing his point, Olaf backs off.
%% And then Max arrives and not only does he misinterpret the situation, he gets the idea to get Grit and Nell together again as a political move.
%% Sailor's Choice - Seeing the uprising Jess is stirring up, Sonja sends Drake to handle her forces. He doesn't want to follow, but has to once Eagle gives the order as a Green Earth CO. Once the naval CO is gone, Sonja decides to have a talk with the air force CO over his crush.
%% In the battle, Jess bemoans her opponent, but Drake has tomeven after hearing Sami's side of the story. He has to anyway in order to suss out the truth... just like he did in the Cosmo Land conflict.

In fact, she's been doing it with so many [=COs=] across the world and so often that they're starting to get worried.

[[WMG:This fan game provides examples of:]]
* AmbiguousSituation: Mission 2, "A Mirror Hauntingly": Did Lash really show up to torment Sonja again, or is this all in Sonja's head as she starts breaking down mentally, and decides to invade Black Hole?
* HeelRealization: After the second mission, Sonja realizes she ''is'' obsessed with war.
* InterfaceSpoiler: On the campaign map, the portrait of the next opponent is glitched if it's someone not from Black Hole. While this bug can be fixed, the modder decided not to in order to preserve mystery.
* VictoryIsBoring: The entire story begins as a result of this feeling for Sonja. So much so that she decides to ''attack Black Hole first''. And when they seek asylum in Orange Star, rather than negotiate, she not only attacks Andy's troops when he passively gets in the way, she also convinces the other nations to enact their vengeance on Black Hole.
* MythologyGag:
** The second mission is called "A Mirror Hauntingly", a CallBack to the mission "A Mirror Darkly".
%% Sonja is aware that her mania for practice battles isn't healthy and would need to find a better outlet for her "not-boredom". Perhaps tennis, which would keep her moving and constantly calculating where the ball will go next, but it almost sounds like hard work.
%% Mission 2: Lash wants a practice match as well with Sonja, and arranges a capture game, and set up bombs in the cities as incentive. Except at the end of it, Lash turned out to be bluffing, and she saw how Sonja looked when there seemed to be real stakes.
