## Episode summary

The episode begins where The Big Combat left off, as the crew of the Flying Saucer chase after Nebula deep within his fortress. They attempt to open fire on Nebula, but the blast from the Flying Saucer's cannon is absorbed into Nebula's body and does nothing. Moonlight Man realizes too late that they have been led into a trap, and all of the turrets inside the fortress open fire on the Flying Saucer. Moonlight Man orders the ship to turn around and get out, but they are trapped inside by a closing gate, forcing them to take cover inside a tight crevice inside the chamber. As this is happening, Leeko is goaded by King Leonardo and Tommy to exit the ship and fight directly as several Air Gliders close in on the ship. Leeko vacuum-mouths their missile fire to get the Bomb Copy Ability and then pilots a Winged Glider to battle them. Once they are defeated, Leeko proceeds to destroy the nearest turrets to prevent them from firing on the Flying Saucer, while Milly comments that the dream training received from Mr. Mage in Air Ridin’! - Part 2 is paying off. As they watch this, King Leonardo and Tommy get a call from Gene, and he directs their attention to Nebula, who uses his hypnotic gaze to mind-control them. On his command, King Leonardo and Tommy abduct Milly and carry her off the ship. As they head along a moving platform, Leeko spots them from the air and gives chase.

Seeing them go, Moonlight Man and the others endeavor to form their own plan to destroy the fortress, while Chief Gordy finds the cell phone that King Leonardo dropped earlier and shows it to Moonlight Man. While Leeko flies after King Leonardo and Tommy, he spots more Air Gliders looking to attack him. Leeko swallows the flames they fire at him to get the Fire Copy Ability. Fire Leeko proceeds to use this ability to defeat these Air Gliders, but in the process, he loses sight of Milly. Back at the Flying Saucer, the crew manages to tap into the phone's data and uses it to locate the source of its signal. Chef Peppermint recommends setting up explosives at this central location within the fortress, so he ends up getting tagged to carry out the operation with Sand Man as backup. Meanwhile, King Leonardo and Tommy deliver Milly to the command center, where they meet Gene in person for the first time, and find out what he looks like in full view. From here, Milly is picked up by Nebula directly, who carries her away. As this happens, Leeko spots him and follows as Nebula leads him deeper into the fortress straight into another trap.

As Gene and his guests watch this from the command center, King Leonardo decides to toy with him by ordering some food from Chef Peppermint, who delivers it in a jiffy. King Leonardo then forces some of the food into Gene's mouth. As Chef Peppermint has them distracted, Sand Man and Hover finish affixing the bombs and start the timer. As this is happening, Leeko chases Nebula into a room resembling a giant chessboard, last seen in Fighting With Swords. After dropping Milly on the chessboard, Nebula taunts them, and Fire Leeko attempts to attack, but his fire breath is absorbed into Nebula's body. Back outside, the three rogue Destrikers from the episode The Big Combat continue to wipe out the other Destrikers, but some of them escape into the fortress. Seeing this, the team contacts Moonlight Man and tells him that trouble is on its way. At that moment, the Destrikers enter and assault the Flying Saucer, disabling its guns and forcing the crew to evacuate. As the Flying Saucer is destroyed, it sends out a shockwave that takes the Destrikers with it, allowing the crew to get away safely. With no way to escape, the crew realizes that they are in trouble when the bombs go off. Moonlight Man then suggests they can all use the Monster delivery system to get back to Usapia, and they all reluctantly head to the command center.

Meanwhile, Leeko runs out of fire power and is exhausted after not leaving a scratch on Nebula. Nebula takes advantage of this opportunity and projects himself into Leeko's dreams to torment him while forcing Milly to watch. Milly calls for the Shooting Star, and Nebula mocks her for this, but Milly then pulls out the Shooting Star that she was keeping on her person this whole time, and tosses it to Leeko to vacuum-mouth, going against Nebula's expectations. Leeko then gets the Light Rod ability, and promptly uses it against Nebula, who is astounded that Leeko found his only weakness. As Milly and Leeko wake up from the dream, Nebula writhes in pain as he is dispelled and finally defeated. Milly comments on how he really was just a living nightmare, and congratulates Leeko for finding his weakness and beating him. The two then hop on the Winged Glider and ride back to the others. Once they reunite, they all travel to the command center and locate the monster delivery system. Hearing that his boss has been defeated, Gene flies off in a hurry. The remaining crew jumps aboard the teleporter and activates it, though King Leonardo points out that the receiver on his end is busted. Regardless, they jump in, and the very next second, the bomb goes off, destroying the command center and taking the fortress with it as the rogue Destriker pilots get away.

Back in Usapia, Professor Antico is attempting to repair the Nebula Enterprises Teleporter in Castle Leonardo, but is panicking as he is lacking a crucial piece. Just in time for the former Flying Saucer crew to return, Sir Pathogen finds the piece and gives it to Antico to insert. With this done, the teleporter activates and the crew return safely to Usapia. As a new day rises on Usapia, the Puffies gather to look over their newly rebuilt town, though Castle Leonardo is still in shambles. King Leonardo despairs at the thought of not being able to order monsters anymore, and Moonlight Man taunts him by handing him the cell phone from earlier, only to have it show a static screen. The episode ends as Milly, Manny, and Leeko look out to the rising sun and wrap up the story.
