While flying on patrol near Xenovia, the Blackhawks are attacked from the ground. The team lands by parachute and is quickly captured by Xenovia's ruler, Penelope.

She pleads with Blackhawk for his help.

Shortly, a real invasion begins. Once again the Blackhawks are captured, this time by the Iron Duke's forces. Zinda once again takes action to free her teammates. Once released, the Blackhawks defeat the Iron Duke, protecting Xenovia.
