Synopsis for "Arthrax!"
Upon seeing Arthrax’s giant submarine, Bliss wants to flee, but Freestyle and Powerhaus insist on aiding their teammates. Inside, Sublime fights Deacon hand-to-hand until he drops the device negating her and Evo’s powers. Deacon surrenders, but she decides to help him destroy the compound anyway. Elsewhere, Arthrax tortures Frostbite for information by exposing him to the highly addictive substance his body secretes. Arthrax explains that the women of his harem are hooked on it and that the bioweapon Tremayne has developed is made from it. He intends to use the substance on the entire global population. Offshore, Bliss, Freestyle, and Powerhaus deceive other aircraft into escorting them to the island. Once they land, however, they are exposed and engage Tremayne’s henchmen. Frostbite uses his powers to break free. Sublime and Evo come to his aid and have him freeze the bioweapon, negating its viability. Dirge tries to shoot Evo but hits Frostbite’s regulator belt, causing him to lose control of his abilities and trigger an explosion. Evo flies Frostbite to safety while Sublime attacks Arthrax, tearing his arm off. His harem mobs him for a taste of his secretion. Evo guts Dirge, and Deacon shoots Tremayne. With the compound in flames, the team commandeers an aircraft, ready to leave once Deacon joins them.
