One day, Duckburg's tranquility is disturbed when a giant spaceship appears, hovering over Ducklair Tower. Donald immediately recognize the ship as "Lady Elenthari", the ship belonging to [[Recap/PaperinikNewAdventuresS1E30TheMastiffOfTheUniverse the mercenary alien Neopard]], and approaches the ship as PK. On board he finds out that Neopard is in a dire situation, stuck in a siege on a distant planetoid, so he sent Q'wyn to look for PK to bail him out of trouble. Once again, the Devilish Avenger is involved in space warfare, far from home.

The second volume of the Final Tetralogy.

!!This Issue contains examples of:

* ActionGirl: Captain Alyonesse is much more action-prone and fit than Neopard.
* BattleCouple: In the end, Neopard reveals that Alyonesse is the namesake of Lady Elenthari but also his fiancée.
* CallBack: The entire episode is one to the PKNA issue "The Mastiffs of the Universe".
* CatGirl: While the males of Neopard's race resemble burly humanoid felines, Alyonesse is much more human-looking with a cat's nose, ears and tail.
* DeathWorld: Neopard's home planet is famous for having a cold desert... another cold desert and two different fire deserts. It's so devoid of life and resources that all his inhabitants are either mercenaries, smugglers or merchants.
* DistressedDude: Neopard is left struck defending a planetoid against a superior enemy force commanded by another mercenary. Zigzagged when it turns out he was actually sent there to conquer the planetoid.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: In the finale, Doland tries to understand how to make one of the alien weapons (resembling a hybrid of dumbbell and morningstar) work. There's a huge explosion and the following day he's seen going to work heavily bandaged. Also earlier, as a FunnyBackgroundEvent, Alyonesse tries to take a lightning-shooting item from a shocked PK.
* FailedASpotCheck: Justified, Everett's quarters in the top of Ducklair Tower are so inaccessible he really did not noticed a giant alien ship hovering over it until Birgt broke the news.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNoWhere: Compared to the other four stories in the tetralogy, this one stands out as it barely has links with the others.
* GracefulLoser: Alyonesse takes the destruction of the planetoid in stride, since after all it means that the enemy didn't got it, so it still count as a victory for her.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Kruth, Neopard's cousin, manages to cheat PK into buying a worker unit believing it to be a war machine.
* ItsPersonal: Played for Laughs, when Geena speculates that PK could be in cahoots with the aliens, Angus takes her microphone and bursts in, claiming that PK was clearly kidnapped by alien forces.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: PK unleashes his war machine on the enemies... except that it's an armored, very destructive demolition unit which proceeds to destroy the planetoid, ignoring damage from all attacks. In no time, the planetoid is in such a ruinous state that there's no point in fighting anymore.
* PlanetOfHats: As it turns out, everyone on Neopard's home planet is either a mercenary or a merchant of weapons.
* RedBaron: This episode clarifies that Neopard and Alyonesse are nom de guerre, their real names being Groft Van Moor and Elenthari Lleyr Dalash.
* RealityEnsues: Stuck on an alien planet with no money, PK is unable to do business with the locals. Also, when he tries to point out that he deserves some reward for defusing the situation, Alyonesse asks to see his contract.
* TrojanPrisoner: Neopard is captured in an ambush by Alyonesse... but as soon as she leaves to deal with PK, he uses his tinkering tech skills to sabotage and reprogram her droids.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Qwyn's outraged reaction when he sees what PK had bought from Kruft without his supervision.
