Rodak’s every move is monitored by powerful radar systems at the Space Center which are zeroing in on Rodak’s spacecraft for a missile attack. The impact of the explosions is felt at the center, leading the Earth forces to believe they are victorious over the space villain. But Rodak laughs at the missile attack, and orders a fireball horde of alien insects to attack the Space Center. Four army jets discover the insects streaking toward Earth, but are destroyed before the pilots can report what they have seen. Mikko and his friends are playing baseball when the swarm of insects lands on the backstop and begins eating the metal. The bugs next attack the Space Center as well as various buildings throughout the area. Gam turns into a rocket and he and Mikko attack the bugs. Gam’s ray seems to stop some of the bugs, while the others fly away. Gam and Mikko follow the fleeing swarm only to come face to face with the giant beetle, Nardo (Pidora). The beetle flaps its wings, creating a strong wind while throwing out bolts of fire rays. Mikko calls for the Space Avenger!
