Commander Makara's desperation leads her to ignore the Imperial Master's orders and try to kill Lamia rather than capturing her. Her secret weapon is a bionic cyborg mantis created by the Imperial scientist, Caliban. It is programmed to assassinate F-01 when necessary, using a ray gun and a sharp scythe treated with deadly poison. X-Bomber must be destroyed before it can reach the Callinian Cluster. To do this, she lures the Dai-X off the ship, giving the cyborg the opportunity to stow away in one of the fighters. X- Bomber is then attacked by the Death Planetoid, another of Caliban's creations, forcing the Dai-X out to combat it. Meanwhile, the deadly cyborg creature has entered Lamia's room and battles with Kirara. Dr. Benn rushes in - just in time to save Lamia from death. The poison that was intended for her enters his bloodstream instead. It causes his death. He has died in the quest for peace. PPA recalls the Dai-X which has managed to finish off the Death Planetoid. X-Bomber's course for the Callinian system is resumed. But even after they land on the planet Callinian, what can they do there? When will the Imperial Alliance activate their final assault?

"General Kyle tries to find out who or what is the F-01. The computer cannot give any answers. In the still-immobile X-Bomber, Lamia asks Doctor Benn if she is the F-01. He tells her of her mysterious arrival on Mars, as a baby guarded by Kirara; how she was secretly brought up by Professor Hagen until he disappeared. This story is overheard by Shiro who realises that Lamia is an alien from an unknown planet, but he is sworn to secrecy by Doctor Benn, who refuses to think that Lamia could be the F-01. Under threat from the Imperial Alliance battle cruiser, Star Fleet Headquarters is evacuated and the crew of X-Bomber prepare to use the X-Impulse weapon against the alien ship. But Lamia radios Makara saying that she is the F-01 and will give herself up to save her Earth friends. Makara speeds her war ship to Moon Base to take Lamia, but X-Bomber forces the Imperial Alliance to retreat..........."

On board X-Bomber, the great question is: can Earth be reached before it has been destroyed by the Imperial Alliance? Professor Hagen decides on a desperate gamble. The computer safety factor must be over-ridden and the controls operated manually, enabling them to travel at twice hyper-speed. It will mean risking the entire ship blowing up, but it is a chance that must be taken. It is a danger-fraught journey, but in the fighting the Imperial Alliance's warship has been badly damaged and Captain Orion seriously injured. Before dying, he insists on being taken to his carrier ship, leaving the mother ship while it is being repaired. He is determined to make one final attack on X-Bomber before his death. In the suicide mission, he succeeds in damaging X-Bomber. It seems that Makara, now able to follow him, has X-Bomber at her mercy. A desperate situation needs desperate measures. Shiro and his colleagues Hercules and Lee take the Dai-X into the heart of Makara's ship. It proves to be a decisive attack. Commander Makara is finally destroyed, but the Imperial Master is closer than ever to Earth.
