The Deserts of Traun
-
The Sun rises over the Desert of Traun. Outside the Fruitless Kingdom pirates load barrels of water onto a floating barge to be delivered to a gigantic spaceship orbiting the planet. The Spa-ship (or Spa 9) as it is known, is run by an intergalactic business tycoon named Malcytol. His space relaxation empire leeches available solar systems of their water and has now pushed his water-procuring contract with the Fruitless Kingdom to its brink. A trade war is about to begin. The king of the Fruitless Kingdom sends his best guards, and the Princess to the barge to negotiate.

Making Haste

Negotiations break down. Scuffles break out, and a few soldiers climb aboard the ship as it flees into orbit. The pirate captain Yargh takes the princess of the hostage. The soldiers, including a new commander named Pit put up a good fight, but their efforts are lost. Pit falls to the desert planet below. Yarge sends the captured princess to a satelite prison called the "Badlands".

Inn of the Dreaded Hippy

The next evening, in a busy tavern filled with many alien travelers, a lone detective named Mel Function is perched over a bar with a dry cocktail. A band of pirates suddenly burst into the inn. Skirmishes break out and the detective's curiosity accidentally leads him into the fray. He realizes this may be just beginning of a much larger conspiracy. Yargh has a meeting with a man known as the Navigator outside - pressuring him to find commander, Pit.

The Old Road
-
Back on the desert planet, Pit is discovered in the moonlit desert sands. The indigenous hooded creatures drag the fallen soldier to their outpost. The Arpegians give Pit a plant elixir that sends him into a lucid dream state in which he sees fragments of his future quest. Awakening from this dream, Pit finds that his body is healed of its wounds. The Arpegians tell him that if he can help release the dam to the south and destroy the water dispatching center down stream, they will help him return home.

The Thieving Wall
-
It's the crack of dawn. Pit and a few Arpegians approach the banks of the dam, an alien-constructed megastructure. Carrying only traditional tools and weapons, the team scales the outer wall and sneaks their way inside the imposing edifice. Traversing the interior corridors, they fight off security to reach the control center. The team quickly destroys the Thieving Wall and the reservoir bursts open. The hot desert sands below are flooded with water.

Greywater Hideaway
-
Meanwhile, on a distant asteroid, a small clearing is being surveilled for excavation. A mysterious woman dressed in a black cloak watches the process from afar. The woman is known as the Black Metal Princess and is the daughter of Malcytol. Machines begin digging and barrels of water are flown in behind her. Something secret and sinister is going to happen here.
After a satisfactory progress check, she travels to the Lilac Moon to meet with Yargh. She discusses with him that she wants Pit for her own plans. She says she will need the clothes and makeup of the princess of the Fruitless Kingdom as well for a disguise to lure Pit to her. After that she instructs him to take the princess to the Badlands and lock her up. She greases Yargh's pockets with enough cash to agree.

Pirate Stronghold
-
By dusk, Pit arrives at the shoreline of a water clearing-house, which has been responsible for packaging the Arpegian water and enslaving their people to work in underground mines. The flood from the broken dam has already caused massive damage to the automated factory, making it possible for Pit to enter undetected. Pit stealthily maneuvers through the warehouse and destroys the computer. This results in a massive explosion.

Lost ArPgee
-
The explosion at the Clearing House opens up a cave entrance leading to a tropical underground city. Pit is surprised to discover abundant, flourishing life fed by the planet's deepest subterranean river. This city is the Arpegians' oldest city, having survived - out of view from the alien invaders for years. The Arpegians treat Pit to a well deserved meal and rest.

Shuttle Amurensis
-
The next morning the Arpegians make good on their promise to help Pit return home. Preparing a special moon sailing vessel, one of the pilots named Ghari offers to shuttle Pit to the Lilac Moon where he can make his return home.
-

The Lilac Moon
-
Pit and Ghari arrive at the southernmost part of the Lilac Moon. The Moon, which is mostly forested, is home to very lively and cheerful local inhabitants. The name of the moon comes from a species of phosphorescent flowers that grow close to the ground, giving the moon its purple glow. Before long, Pit and Ghari are lured into an all night dance jam around a huge fire pit. After many hours, they stumble upon a meadow where the tree trunks are propping up a super chill after-party tent city. An elder Lilac local tells Pit that there is a Navigator living in the trees to the north that might be able to help him get home.
Pit and Ghari arrive at the door of the Navigator's tree house. After being inside for a few minutes, the conversation about finding a way home becomes strained, and he leads Ghari and Pit to the Dreaded Hippy Tavern.

Valeriana

Back on Pit's home world in the Fruitless Kingdom, the Princess's sister Valeriana begins to take action against the invading Pirates.

Brig to Nowhere
-
Just above the Lilac Moon, inside the dank brig of the floating pirate barge, Mel, Pit and Ghari sit tied up, angry and confused. After some deliberation, Ghari jailbreaks them out of the brig with an explosive that rips open the upper half of their cell. Climbing out onto the main deck, the group is thrust into an all out swashbuckling melee. Pushed by overwhelming odds, the group retreats towards the ships mast where they are surprised to see the princess of the Fruitless Kingdom tied, gagged and in great distress. Pit immediately jumps up to save her, but with a discerning look, Mel reaches out and warns Pit that this must be a trap. Mel suspects that this is someone in disguise. But, Pit ignores the detective, blinded by his sense of duty. As he unties her, the fire from the explosion engulfs most of the barge and the ship begins to plummet. Left with no choice, Mel and Gary leave Pit to his fate. They escape into space in the last available lifepod. The burning ship descends and crashes into the icy planet below.

Embers in Snowfall
-
Hours after the dramatic crash of the pirate barge, Pit regains consciousness inside the overturned hull. The wreckage and the slow burning fires are keeping him alive on the cold, icy planet. The princess is also sheltered inside the hull. Pushed to his brink, Pit's emotions overtake him and an unshakable sense of guilt sets in. He attends to the unconscious and badly injured princess and hopes that the blizzard outside will soon settle.

OWP3
-
Pit takes his first steps outside into the daylight after the blizzard passes. Carrying the injured princess across a snowy plain, he heads towards an elevator in the distance built by the Fruitless Kingdom that shuttles water to their planet. After a day long trek he reaches the elevator doors, but it is too late for the princess. He places the princess in the elevator with a note. Too ashamed to return with her, Pit stays behind and commits himself to exile on the icy planet.
