It's exam time, but Max protests it as a waste of time now that Makino's army may be about to wipe humanity from the planet. When the alien army invades Copper Canyon, the school is evacuated, but Butch, Kirby and Syd combine their search for safety with participation by stealing an abandoned N-Tek tank, which they find far from safe. Uncle Forge keeps supporting his sister's blind opposition to using the TURBO Star, putting all their hopes in the Deadalus platform, but Makino's spaceship soon takes that down. Max Steel saves it from a fatal crash, then takes the TURBO Star inside the spaceship, heading for the crucial power source, but finds it's TURBO too, with a startling key component.
