A moon-composed meteorite prompts Ken to pilot the God Phoenix toward the moon, where he encounters a swarm and a mysterious wrapped body. After bird missiles fail, the body transforms into a scorpion-shaped mecha that attacks an oil refinery. Ken and Jun trace the control signal to its source, leaving Ryu behind in the God Phoenix. The Science Ninja Team infiltrates the carrier, but Joe carelessly destroys the control panels with a machine gun while questioning the commander. This destruction causes the unguided meteorites to strike the carrier. Back on Earth, the Reddo Imparusu squad confirms that the now-unguided scorpion mecha has been destroyed.
