Ringo goes home and discovers that his mother and father are casualties of the war with the aliens. He also finds out that his hometown has been devastated by a gang of roving outlaws known as the Hyenas, who prove to be no match for the Space Knights. Ringo donates is family estate as a playground for the local school children. As they continue on their journey, Blade and the other Space Knights decide the only way to reach Darkon's moon base is to sucker Axe into a trap and to take his Tekno-crystal. They find a town which is brightly lit, a sure invitation for a Spidercrab attack. It turns out that the town's inhabitants are members of a Special Forces Mortar Squad who are trying to lure the aliens into a trap, which seems to fit in perfectly with the plans of the Space Knights. Axe takes the bait and, along with a squadron of Spidercrabs, attacks the town.
