Max Steel

While in the middle of a qualifying contest for the Del Oro Extreme, Josh and the other athletes are rocked by a strange and violent lightning storm. By the next day, Josh has decided to quit the D.O.X., saying to his father that ""...there's no challenge; and it's just not fair."" However, when the lightning ceases to stop, Max must don the D.O.X. uniform, and try to find out the cause. After a series of near-death experiences for all of the D.O.X. competitors, Max learns that the threat is caused by a crazed Woody Barkowski, and his sister, Annabelle. He stops them, saving the day, and many lives. Then, at the awards ceremony, Laura catches him talking to Rachel, and accuses him of cheating on her, using a comment he made back in the episode ""Strangers"" against him. He pacifies her, sort of.

Josh and Laura seem to be repairing what damage was done to their relationship after a few recent events, while Pete simultaneously questions Josh as to his love for Laura. Meanwhile, Sabre, N-Tek's space station, has suffered a mysterious malfunction, and is in danger of plummeting back to Earth. Max, along with Jake Nez, is sent to investigate the problem. After a short fight in space, the duo reaches the station, only to find that it was all a set-up, by Psycho and Vitriol, designed to steal N-Tek's shuttle, the Phoenix. Max and Jake lock themselves in the bay, strategize, then simultaneously capture Vitriol and send Psycho spinning off into space. Sabre is brought down safely in the Pacific Ocean, and Josh returns to Del Oro, just in time for another scolding from Pete, as our hero had missed another date with Laura.

After recapturing the Barkowskis and their hurricane machine, Max and Rachel must recover plutonium from a vessel that sank in the storm, not realizing that freelance mercenary L'Æ’tranger is after it also.
