During a raid on Epsilon station, Power and his soldiers uncover information on the four phases of Project New Order. But Dread orders it's container to self destruct, taking out Mentor along the way. Meanwhile, Dread and Overmind accelerate the phase Charon: the creation of an army of new Bio-Dreads.

While investigating Dread communications in sector 12, Power and his team find an underground sanctuary called Haven, where they are welcome to stay and live the war out in peace.

Two resistance fighters, Andy Jackson and Jim Mitchell want to join Captain Power's soldiers. Andy manages to sneak aboard the Jumpship and into the Power base. But the Soldiers are far from pleased that their base has been compromised.

Two members of Wardogs company shoots down Hawk, thinking he's a Biodread. Their leader, Colonel Vi, happens to be an old acquaintance of Hawk's. The doggies have given up on fighting and are looking for the fabled Eden II. Meanwhile, the remaining Soldiers of the Future find themselves trapped in a Dreadstation while trying to find out more about Project New Order.

Power and his soldiers travel to Tech City to enter the Cyberweb and try to gain information about Project New Order. But as soon as Power enters cyberspace, so does Lord Dread with the intention to destroy the captain's mind.

A deadly virus is sweeping the passages. Pilot proposes to infiltrate Dread's chem factory Medlab 1 dressed in her old Dread Youth uniform to steal a vaccine. Once there she comes into contact with a young Dread Youth named Erin who reminds her of herself.

Colonel Cypher's resistance group has fallen victim to a insanity inducing drug. Unfortunately Tank has also taken a sip of the contaminated water and soon becomes convinced his teammates are Bio Dreads.

Power has been injured and Pilot goes in search of help in a nearby settlement. But a young villager recognizes her as part of the Dread youth that torched his home town and Pilot is put on trial.

It is the 15th anniversary of Dr. Stuart Power's death. As Jonathan Power is lost in memories while visiting his fathers grave, Overmind urges Lord Dread to take this opportunity to ambush his adversary.

As Dread and Soaron close in on Jonathan Power at his father's resting place, Dread is reminded of that day 15 years earlier when Stuart Power died and Lyman Taggart became Lord Dread.

Cypher tells Captain Power that he and his team have been asked to make contact with a representative from the mythical sanctuary Eden II in one of the harshest places on Earth: the acid-ridden Dark Town.

When Freedom One, the voice of the East Coast Resistance radio organizes a meeting between the five most powerful Resistance leaders, she contacts Power and his team to gather the leaders together.

New data from a springer indicates that phase 3 of Project New Order is about to commence. A suborbital platform codenamed Icaras will start mass digitization at 15.00 hours. Power comes up with a desperate two part plan to attack Icarus control followed by Volcania itself.

The downed Icarus platform crashes into Volcania, but the Prometheus beam (phase 4 of Project New Order) remains active. Therefore, Power and his group infiltrates Volcania to deactivate Prometheus and face Dread.

Dread decides to put all his power into destroying Power and his resistance group. Thanks to Blastarr he finds out Power's Jumpship has teleportation capabilities and Souron helps him to install a tracking device with which to locate Power's base.

Lord Dread is about to have his mind transferred into a new machine body. But first he delivers his final strike against Captain Power. Blastarr and his troops attack the Jumpship and prevent it from entering a Teleportation gate by breaching it themselves. The machine forces overrun the Powerbase, manned only by Pilot as Power and the others remain helpless on the outside.
