Synopsis:
Knight Conrad Mackay has been brought down by Bishop. A group of pawns come to his aid and save his life. Bishop flees after seeing Kalia Campbell. After the action, Campbell and Mackay regroup and set a trap for Eddie Diamond, who is threatening farmers for their water rights. When the trap is sprung, Bishop attacks again. Mackay goes against him again and loses. Shortly thereafter, the pawns discover Bishop's abandoned armor.
