The Enemy Within is the third episode in Rise of the Rookies.
Description
When Stormer is struck with a virus that penetrates his core, Furno tries to help him fight his way back.
Plot
The episode begins with the Rookie Team and Preston Stormer flying through an asteroid field. Preston Stormer mentions how much he hates a new electro-billboard he was tricked into putting his face on to advertise ice cream. Professor Nathaniel Zib then sends them a distress report from Mekron City in the Mekronite Planetoid Belt - on account of Stormer being familiar
Chief Drax
with the police chief, Chief Drax. Upon arriving at the precinct, Stormer walks slowly down a deserted hallway filled with knight statues and past computers flashing "WANTED" screens for Meltdown and Vapour. Finally, Stormer finds Chief Drax, who seems to be possessed by an evil force. Drax tries and fails to shoot Stormer with a gun and is Hero Cuffed, but sends robot minions out to attack the Heroes. The Rookies attempt to shoot the robots down, but are not very accurate, and Stormer fells most of them. Meltdown then smashes through the window and sprays Stormer with his nuclear sludge. Drax is arrested and both
Meltdown
Stormer and him are investigated. It is revealed that Meltdown's sludge has nanobots in it that corrupt a target's systems. Just then, Stormer goes mad and climbs through the lobby to the Training Spheres, where Jimi Stringer, Dunkan Bulk, and William Furno duel him. After throwing Bulk off the edge, Stormer takes a jetpack and leaves the Hero Factory. Furno follows him on the Furno Bike.
The Tritax Reptoid prepares to devour Mark Surge
Meanwhile, the remaining four members travel to Lunar Tratix to find the one thing that HQ doesn't have for an antidote. Upon arriving, they are attacked by a Tritax Reptoid. Bulk and Stringer keep the creature occupied while Breez finds the ingredient. Despite their efforts, the Tritax Reptoid focuses on her. Mark Surge attracts the creature's attention and is nearly devoured, but Breez uses her link with nature to tell it to drop him. The Tritax Reptoid obliges, and the team leaves.
Furno's assumptions are right as he finds Preston snarling and growling at the giant electro-billboard. Furno and Stormer do battle, causing damage to the giant electro-billboards. Stormer is about to give the final blow when Furno compares Stormer to Von Ness. In the small fragment of sanity left, Stormer realizes his actions are wrong and refrains from killing the rookie. Stormer is then drained of energy and Furno returns him to HQ.
At HQ, Breez reveals that she can talk to animals as a part of her programming. Stormer is given the antidote, curing him. He thanks Furno for destroying the electro-billboard and deduces that someone wants him dead. Elsewhere, it is revealed that Von Ness still lurks in the galaxy, vowing revenge on Stormer.
