Title: Warp Rider: The Space Cowboy’s Journey to Pluto
The neon glow of Jupiter’s rings faded behind him as Jace “Redbeard” Callahan gripped the reins of his warp-drive stallion, Ironhoof. The horse’s synthetic muscles pulsed with violet energy, hooves striking the void as if galloping on some unseen cosmic trail.
Pluto lay ahead, a ghost world on the edge of the system. The corpos back on Mars had bet he wouldn’t make it. Said a cowboy had no place in the cold dark. But Jace wasn’t just any cowboy—he was the last of the Warp Riders, a relic of a forgotten frontier that stretched beyond the stars.
The Blade Circuit—Neptune’s neon-drenched underbelly—had tried to stop him, sending drones and mercenaries to clip his ride. They failed. Nothing could outrun Ironhoof, not when his warp coils kicked in. The horse shimmered in shades of pink and cyan, reality bending around them as they tore through the darkness, faster than light, faster than fate.
Pluto was a beacon now, a tiny blue shimmer in the abyss. But Jace felt something coming—something big. The corpos weren’t done yet. He tipped his hat, red hair flowing in the cosmic wind, and smirked.
“Let ‘em try,” he muttered.
Ironhoof neighed, his warp engine roaring.
The final ride was just beginning.
