His Dad Commented How a Youth managed to be successful and wanted to Rico to be Like Him...

Baffled by the Bluntness Of Alexander, Rico Was Curious Why he is in Buenos Aires of all Places? Why not Usa or Paris? As if He Knew what Rico was thinking, He Grinned..

"Fire Warriors, Move in the Bushes and use PlasmaGun" a Boy Orders his Toys to move into the Bushes and they shot out Lights of Beam
"Space Marines, Avoid then Use Bolter and Rush close to Melee" as a Older boy Tells his toy, as they managed to dodge and shoot bullet pellet and rushed in melee and Downed the Tau which as the Chainblade almost reached the Tau Gunner
