Synopsis[]

Solar goes to destroy the Spider Alien Moonbase, only to learn that the aliens have summoned Aric there to take his X-O Armor. With the Armor's Seed, they can grow a starship and return to their Homeworld. Seeing an opportunity to follow the aliens and destroy their Homeworld, Solar battles X-O, hoping Aric will realize that giving up the Seed now could eventually result in the final defeat of the Spider Aliens!^[1]
