The showdown with the machine-controlling villain Ax continues, but with his control of the X-O Manowar armor scrambled can Aric still prevail? Aric will show Ax what he does to bandits and Ken what he does to traitors!
As Aric attacks Ax's cyborgs, Ax dons his own alien battle-armor. The ensuing fight leads from air to sea, to an island where Ax's scrambler paralyzes Aric's armor. But he sheds the Good Skin and still bests Ax! Aric spares Ax's life, exchanging him for Ken. But Ken still cannot be trusted, so Aric replaces Ken's severed hand with an extension of an armor that will slay Ken should he ever betray Aric again!
