## Episode summary

The episode begins at Castle Leonardo, where Leeko is having dinner with Milly and her family. Shortly after Leeko finishes his portions, a flash of light streaks outside which gets everybody's attention. It crashes down into the woods before coming to a stop, and reveals itself to be a rogue spaceship. Inside the ship, an incubation pod opens to reveal a mysterious alien soldier girl with a grim look in her eyes. Shortly thereafter, King Leonardo and Tommy investigate the crash site, only to be set upon by the spaceship's inhabitant. When the alien visitor finds out she is in Usapia, she attacks the two with a flamethrower gun that ends up wrecking the Royal Racecar, then looks on to the castle, where Moonlight Man and his apprentices are watching from a high tower. They see the Royal Racecar return a wreck and conclude that something dangerous is a foot. King Leonardo shouts to his soldiers that the kingdom is under attack, and to man the battle stations. King Leonardo considers ordering a monster to attack this new invader, but Tommy informs him that Nebula Enterprises will not send him anything until his debts are repaid.

At that moment, the invader arrives at the castle and scales the walls using a grappling hook gun and then attacks the Viruses using a missile launcher. As the remaining guards attempt to mobilize, the invader spots Moonlight Man in the castle halls and calls him out. Moonlight Man does not recognize her, but she attacks him after proclaiming to be the daughter of a Star Warrior named Gamma. Twilight Man and Aurora Man distract the intruder and allow Moonlight Man to get away. After a brief battle, the invader moves over to another part of the castle to try and find her quarry, antagonizing Leonardo and Tommy again in the process. She soon catches Milly, Manny, and Leeko out in the halls and threatens them. Milly questions the invader's motives, and she reveals herself as Diamond: a space-faring hunter who is looking to recover the sword Dark Slash that Moonlight Man wields. Diamond tells them the story of how Moonlight Man betrayed her mother to recover the Dark Slash from the den of the thieving monster Clawsakin, but Milly and Manny refuse to believe that their friend and protector would so something like that. At that moment, Moonlight Man shows up again to defend his honor, and a battle ensues. In the fight, Moonlight Man is knocked unconscious by a missile and wounded badly, but the group manages to get him and themselves away from the attacker. Seeing Moonlight Man's wounds, Leeko becomes determined to avenge his friend.

Later on, after moving Moonlight Man to a more secure location, Leeko and Manny receive medicine from Sir Chanter and Lady Chanter to use on Moonlight Man, but they are spotted heading back and followed secretly by Diamond. Meanwhile, King Leonardo dials up Nebula Enterprises and tells them the situation. Realizing who the king is up against, N.L.E sends the previously mentioned monster Clawsakin through the Monster delivery system to deal with Diamond. As this happens, Milly tends to Moonlight Man's wounds from within the sanctuary at Seashell Valley as Twilight and Aurora keep watch. Milly asks Moonlight Man about the story that Diamond told her earlier, and Moonlight Man answers that the Dark Slash proves his innocence. He then directly Milly to listen to Mr. Mage, who tells her about how the Dark Slash was forged and what powers it contains. Before Milly can follow up on what happened to Gamma, however, Diamond finds them and resumes her attack. Despite his injuries, Moonlight Man stands to face her and pulls the sacred sword.

After a rush of sword-swinging, the Dark Slash is knocked out of Moonlight Man's grip and falls to the floor. Diamond rushes to get the sword, but Moonlight Man warns her not to touch it. She does not listen and places her hand on the hilt, but she ends up receiving a nasty electric shock which knocks her away. After Moonlight Man explains that the sword can only be wielded by those it deems worthy, the monster Clawsakin finds its way into the canyon and charges at the group. After overpowering Diamond, Twilight, and Aurora, Milly sends Leeko in to gain the Sword Copy Ability from one of the discarded weapons and join the fight. Leeko manages to slice off one of Clawsakin's blade talons, but the monster grows it back almost immediately to Leeko's surprise. Diamond gets back up and sees Leeko struggling against the monster as the Dark Slash is left unguarded. Seeing her moment, she rushes in and attempts to pull the blade once again. As she does so, the Dark Slash speaks to her and tells her what really happened to her mother in the cave that day. Seeking to mirror her mother's noble sacrifice, Diamond tosses the Dark Slash to Leeko just as his own sword is shattered by Clawsakin.

Clawsakin manages to catch the sword first, but Moonlight Man uses Diamond's missile launcher to knock it out of the beast's mouth, allowing Leeko to claim it. After emanating an impressive amount of power, Leeko rises into the air and launches a Dark Slash Sword Beam at the monster, traveling clean through its strong wings and slicing Clawsakin in half, finally destroying it. Diamond looks upon the proud wielder of the Dark Slash as she finally gains peace of mind over her mother's fate. As dawn breaks, Diamond returns to her spaceship and takes off after bidding farewell to her new friends. The episode ends as her ship disappears into the sky while the group watches.
