John and Crystal are forced to restore power to Skyvault to save themselves from the Strafers launched by Terror. The Skyvault's automatic defenses take care of the Strafers, but with the power restored, all the systems and robots aboard the space station are again under Terror's control. However, in the Centurion Academy, Dr. Wu has devised a portable weapon that neutralizes the effect of Doc Terror's robot-controlling beam. Ace is sent into space with his Orbital Interceptor and Wu's weapon in his hands, and with Crystal's help he is teleported into the station, where he uses the weapon restoring every system and robot aboard Skyvault to normal. After Skyvault is thus brought back under the Centurions' control, John is then sent to Sealab and with Max's cover, he frees the facility from Terror's grasp as well. Gog grows tired of humans interfering with its schemes, and plots to erradicate all humans by destroying a giant asteroid in space using Super Strafers launched from Dominion, with the destruction of said asteroid raining several fragments down on Earth and thus causing the extinction of all lifeforms on the planet. Upon learning this, Terror and Hacker rebel against the alien computer, but their efforts are futile against Magog as the robot is just too strong for both of them, however, Hacker disables the energy barrier that surrounded Gog's fortress hideout, prompting the Centurions to deploy on the island and attack the fortress. When Thunder tries to sneak into the fortress to free the prisoners inside, he gets into trouble but is unexpectedly saved by Hacker who informs him of Gog and its omnicidal plan, and the prisoners are finally rescued. Ace is sent into space to try and stop the Super Strafers, but he doesn't make it in time, and is seemingly lost in the huge explosion.
Tropes Xtreme!:
- Villainous Rescue: Hacker saves John from a Mecha-Mook getting close on him. John is naturally baffled by this, but Hacker explains himself.
