Synopsis:
Rip and the team travel back to 1,000 B.C. to investigate the origins of a recently uncovered alien spacecraft. They meet Xenor, an exiled alien with super-powers that is helping the Earth people against some rebels.

Rip and Corky travel to Zark, Xenor’s home planet to help Xenor’s people. Rip gains super-powers on Zark and is able to overthrow Loren, the alien tyrant.

Back on Earth, Xenor defends the people from Myonos, a rebel attacker. Myonos has stolen a weapon from Xenor however that renders the alien powerless. Rip returns in time to use another weapon on Myonos and defeat the rebel army. Xenor then returns to Zark, and the team returns to their own time.
