Synopsis
Space Knight Spyro and his crew must battle the Space Beast Predaking for the fate of the noodles that could save the Ponyville Space Station.

Summary
In the intergalactic city of the Ponyville Space Station (a Star Wars Parody of Ponyville) Chancellor Twilight has troubling news for the citizens: the station has run out of noodles. To solve the dilemma, a batch of Never-Ending Jajang Nova-Noodles is being sent to them, which everyone is overjoyed to hear. At that moment, however, it is announced that Predaking, the Intergalactic Space Beast, has robbed their shipment, sending the civilians into a panic.

Out on his ship, Space Beast Predaking plots to use the noodles in his takeover of the space station.
To save the Space Station, they call upon the help of Space Knight Spyro and his crew to get back their noodles. While waving goodbye, NO20 (a robotic version of Noble) bids the females goodbye and attempts his classic shirt rip, though accidentally removes his robotic arm. He’s scolded for this by Mechanic Tempest Shadow who hands it back to him. Upset, NO20 snatches his appendage from her before he and Spyro board their space ship and head off to fight Predaking. Noble is in the process of repairing himself, glad to have gotten the extended warranty, when Spyro breaks the ship for a traffic light. Alien Scootaloo is speeding by on her Galactic Scooter and, spying their ship, immediately falls in love with Space Knight Spyro and jumps onto their windshield in an attempt to kiss him. The light changes to green and the Knight takes off, leaving Scootaloo behind to stare after him dreamily.

On Predaking’s ship, one of his Predacons is grunting unintelligently over something on the monitor. When Predaking tells him to just say it, the zombie takes on a pompous British persona, telling him in plain words that Space Knight Spyro is approaching them. Predaking, accepting this challenge, tells his minions to “send out a welcoming party”.

NO20 is awoken from his sleep-mode by the ship’s alarm system, alerting them to Predaking’s Predacons approaching in their flying saucers. Instead of attacking, though, they’ve taken Predaking’s orders too literally and are happily greeting the Space Knights. Predaking calls to correct them and they begin firing on the heroes. Spyro pilots his ship to avoid them and uses his own laser to destroy some of the enemies while NO20 ejects from the cockpit and physically deflects their vessels with his Kung Fu. He does alright until he’s struck by a comet, calling for Spyro to “save some for [him]” as he’s pushed away.

Spyro is soon overcome and surrounded by Predacons while at the same time, Alien Scootaloo has followed Spyro and arrives on the scene. Angered by this, she ruthlessly destroys the remaining battle ships and rescues Spyro. As she’s once again kissing the windshield, NO20 returns on his comet, believing he scared away the zombies. The trio arrive at Predaking’s ship and NO20 cuts through the outer layer (while Spyro tries to fend off Scootaloo) and gets them inside. Predaking is watching them through his cameras and decides to let them believe they have the element of surprise (though the only one sneaking up on Predaking is his own zombie).

The space heroes find the container of Jajang Nova-Noodles but when Spyro reaches to take it, they discover it’s a hologram and they’ve walked into a trap. Predacons have them surrounded and Predaking mocks them while declaring that Space Station Ponyville is now his own. Angry, Scootaloo shuts off the Gravity generators, causing everyone to float. The Space Knights (once NO20 reassembles from his “shirt rip” attempt) have the advantage and take down the zombies. Predaking tries to escape in the midst of the battle but is caught by Scootaloo who then throws him across the room and against the generator button.

With the gravity re-engaged, the Knights have won, but Predaking has escaped their clutches and, in defiance to their victory, eats the noodles whole. However, the Never-Ending noodles begin to expand from within his body, causing him to rapidly grown bigger as he realizes his mistake. The Knights escape to their own ship as a now regretful Predaking destroys his vessel and becomes a Red Giant. The heroes try to rocket away but are trapped in the humongous villain’s gravitational pull. To save them, Scootaloo hops out and gives their rocket a push from behind, evading Predaking’s orbit before he finally explodes.

Back at the Ponyville Space Station, the citizens worry what they shall do now that Predaking has destroyed their noodles. However, Alien Scootaloo comes forward and activates a machine that creates the Galactic Go-Rong from which the Alien Chefs offer to make any kind of noodles they need. The citizens cheer and as Spyro walks up to admire the building, Scootaloo steals a kiss which makes him walk off in disgust while her antennae buzzes a heart shape.

Trivia* This episode is a reference to Star Wars.
* This is also the first and only episode where Predaking was killed.
