Dr. Smith tells the four cadets to hurry and prepare to hop into the Volt Machines. Dr. Mary Ann, however, points out that there’s only four of them and they’re missing one. Little Jon tugs on Dr. Smith’s sleeve and says, don’t ask him how, but he’s studied every part of the Voltes robo. So he’s ready to go as well.

Down on Earth, some of the cadets are having a bonfire. Eva tells the others that she and Ally have plans to head to the mainland this weekend and asks if they want to come with. She has a contact that can secretly get them on a boat. Bert points out that they were lucky to have been granted permission to have this little party on the beach. Steve is not too keen on leaving base and breaking the rules.

Dr. Smith tells Dr. Mary Ann that the kids should know the truth about their father. But Dr. Mary Ann wants to protect them and fears if they knew the truth, they might hop on a spaceship too and head to Boazan to search for Papa Armstrong. Dr. Smith says it is up to her, but he believe secrets and lies can hurt relationships. And they always have a way of coming out.

Zardoz is being briefed about what this planet Earth is all about. General Zandra thinks the beings on Earth look gross and slave-like. Zambojil is not surprised why Hrothgar would choose that place as his hideout.

Dr. Smith introduces the five ships that make up Voltes V: Crewzer. Bomber, Panzer, Frigate and Lander. Each Volt Machine will be piloted by one of the cadets. But only five of them will get the responsibility. The rest of the initiative-taking cadets can work for the support team or potentially be an alternate pilot.

Back on Boazan, Zardoz is excited to show Uncle Zambojil and Lola Contessa the medal he received from school for his top ranked intelligence. Zambojil says he definitely did not make a mistake in taking him in and says he’s proud of him. Zardoz thanks his uncle with a hug. Much to Zambojil’s disgust, actually.

Back on Boazan, Rozalia has given birth, but she feels sorry to her son having to grow up without a father. Mama Fadsa believes Hrothgar is still alive and will return to save them. She hugs the baby tight and asks Rozalia what she will name him.

Hrothgar and the other slaves reach the spaceship hangars, but are met by Boazanian soldiers. They fight their way through with Hrothgar getting into one ship while Magus and other remaining slaves hop into another one. They take off, but fighter ships pursue them over the capital city.

Our humble narrator takes us back 20 years to the planet of Boazan. Baron Zander violently questions one of the horn-less alipin, accusing one of them of being a thief. Science Minister Hrothgar orders Baron Zander to stop and warns him that if he wishes to remain in his position, he and his soldiers must stop their cruel treatment of the slaves.
