EPISODE #44 – RAID ON RIGA

An emergency alert is received from Riga, Earth’s sister planet, that a Spectra attack has been launched there. The Spirit and Zoltar have cooked up a plan to lure the G-Force to Riga to help their long-time ally Cronus and then to destroy them all with Spectra’s new Bat Rocket and its Photon Negative Sonar Beams. The Bat Rocket has already attacked and destroyed one of Riga’s main cities and that planet’s Air Force has been unable to stop it.

Anderson has called in the G-Force but has informed them that they cannot go to the rescue unless they receive a direct request from Cronus. Meanwhile, Zark has been instructed to analyze the new weapon to find a way to destroy it. But the G-Force can’t stand to sit around and watch their friends be destroyed, so they disobey Anderson’s orders and head off to Riga. Mark shuts off communication with Zark so that he won’t have to hear the Chief’s anger. When our heroes arrive in Riga, they come face to face with the Bat Rocket and attempt to fight it. The monster ship releases a squadron of smaller jets that emit a fiery gas that envelopes the Phoenix and sends it plunging into the ocean. Just as the Bat Rocket is about to finish them off, Cronus arrives on the scene and saves the G-Force.

Everyone returns to Earth and meets with Anderson, who is furious. Cronus intervenes on Mark’s behalf and the Chief calms down long enough to allow the Force to go back to Riga. This time they have discovered how to get through the Bat Rocket’s powerful shield and when they do, Mark plants his boomerang on board and destroys the monstercraft.
