In between universes, a planet-sized, octopus-like creature grabs Scanner One and tries to crush it. Atari Force escapes by having the computer kick in the dimensional warp engines on full, creating a power surge. Unable to control where they reappear in normal space, they end up above a dead, Earth-like world where they have to set down to make repairs to the engines. As they investigate, Hukka appears and decides he likes Singh. They split up and then Champion and Orion are attacked by spaceships. Another appears out of the ground and makes short work of the attackers. When it lands, O'Rourke, Singh, and Hukka are inside. Hukka led them to the ship and a jewel which shows them how the world used to be before the Zylons attacked and destroyed it. Everyone but Orion is inspired to vengeance. While O'Rourke and Champion battle Zylons in the Star Raider, Orion discovers the Zylons are controlled by the Dark Destroyer, so Orion, Perez, and Singh go to find it. They do, and seem to destroy it with an overloaded probe. Meanwhile, the Star Raider is in trouble and saved when the Dark Destroyer is attacked. The two teams regroup back at the planet. They leave again, taking Hukka with them as it is revealed to the reader that the Dark Destroyer is not gone.
