N-TEK brings in Max and Steel to the arctic where a starship is found of similar design to the Water Elementor from the previous episode. Steel is the only one who could pass the force field without harm and disables the field for N-TEK to enter the craft. After acquiring what they came for, N-TEK blows the place up. On route to N-TEK HQ, Max Steel uses Flight mode while the ground convoy is sneak attacked by Troy Winter who easily gets the package and proceeds to take it to Miles Dredd. Naught arrives but says no deal when the package, a incomplete and damaged Ultra-Link, is not in working order, but Dredd tells Winter where to find the rest of the package for his full pay: the CEO office at THI. Steel reviews his memories with max and finds out that he is an off-world alien, and question Forge about why he destroyed the starship. Molly holds off Winter, but he still escapes with the component. After a short motorcycle chase, the Fire and Earth Elementors stall Max so Dredd can receive the package. After seeing the power of the Ultra-Link, Winter wants it for himself. The fight with the Elementors ends quickly with Forge's arrival, and the fire Elementor is taken prisoner. When Winter activates a failsafe in the case Dredd placed in case of a betrayal, Winter fuses with the damaged Ultra-Link. Max and Steel are shocked to learn what the package really was, and Winter states that he is now Extroyer.
