Just as he is about to be finished by Magog, John is teleported... into Skyvault, to be captured by Terror himself. Meanwhile, the three original Centurions test their new Assault Systems in the field, and Rex, armed with his Gatling Guard, neutralizes the effects of Doctor Terror's machine-controlling beam, that he had launched over New York City from Skyvault. With the help of Lucy, Crystal escapes capture and soon she frees John as well. They are forced to shut down the power over Skyvault, but without power, the space station begins to fall to Earth. Doc Terror launches a Strafer attack on Skyvault, just to ensure its destruction.
Tropes Xtreme!:
- Big Applesauce: Once again, Terror targets NYC.
- From Bad to Worse: The episode has Terror gaining the upper hand over the Centurions. Every time they defeat him, he scores an even bigger victory against them.
- Sadistic Choice: Crystal and John can either keep Skyvault going and let the alien AI take it over, or shut off the power and let it (and themselves) be destroyed. There is no third option. They choose to go down with the ship.
- Teleportation Rescue: Subverted Trope. John is "saved" from Magog by Terror, only to immediately be taken hostage.
