In Doria, a civil war erupts over oil rights between the king and Prince Ali. The king, facing defeat, summons the Science Ninja Team. Ken convinces Ali to negotiate, but they are ambushed and thrown into a dungeon where they discover the true king's skeleton. Escaping via the God Phoenix, they witness Mecha Moskon bombing protesters. Ken confronts Katse, who is disguised as the king, causing him to fall into the burning streets. Meanwhile, the team identifies the Mecha's tracking weakness and lures it into an oil field. The God Phoenix destroys the machine in a massive explosion. Witnessing this miracle, the people of Doria worship the Firebird God and find hope for their nation's reconstruction.
