Out in the salt flats, the Battle Force 5- with the exception of Vert- race across the sands.
Sage: Battle Force 5! Data glitch! I failed to sense a Storm Shock. The enemy has reached Earth!
A portal opens in front of the team and Zentners start flying out. Zemerik and his Zelix also emerge from the portal, leading the Sark's invasion as the machine leader stares down his enemies with anger in his red eyes.
Zoom: I hate uninvited guests!
Agura: And I hate being caught off-guard! Vert, how's the Saber?
Back at the team's base, Vert is busy doing maintenance on his vehicle and is unable to join his friends in battle.
Vert: Working on it! I'll get there as soon as I can!
The battle begins on the salt flats as the Battle Force 5 charge at the invading Sark forces; Zemerik and his seven Zentners outnumber the four leaderless humans, but they won't go down without a fight. Zoom pops a wheelie and splits his front tires, spiked wheels cutting into three Zentners. The Reverb strikes from above, blasting sonic shots at two more Zentners before speeding past them. The Buster plows through another two Zentners, its flails spinning wildly as it barrels through.
Agura: Great job! Almost got 'em all!
Agura looks back ahead of herself and sees more Zentners racing towards the team.
Agura: Or not...
At the base, an impatient Vert stops working on the Saber with an anxious look.
Vert: Ugh, there's no time! I need a miracle!
The team leader's eyes suddenly go wide and he hurries off. He has an idea...
Back on the battlefield, the Buster sends another Zentner flying and the Tangler smashes any Sark it can find. One Zentner manages to ram Agura and Zemerik chuckles behind the Zelix's wheel. No matter how many Zentners the Battle Force 5 take out, more continue to emerge from the portal without end.
Zoom: They just keep coming! What are we gonna do?!
Suddenly, missiles start flying past the Chopper and destroy the Zentners chasing after the bike.
Vert: I've got a few ideas!
The source of the missiles shimmers out of a cloak and drives into more Zentners, revealing itself to be the...
Zemerik: Mobias Command Center!
The Sentient mobile base is in full battle mode with Vert at the controls, giving the Battle Force 5 some much-needed backup.
Zoom: Stee-rike!
Zemerik steers away from the crashing Zentners and drives right for the Mobi-Com, which fires more missiles at the approaching Sark leader. Zemeriks easily evades them and continues his course, both him and Vert glaring at each others' vehicles. Suddenly, the Mobi's doors open and the surprised Zemerik- attempting to steer away from the mobile base- is swept up inside the command center. As the machine gathers his bearings, Vert punches a button next to him.
Vert: Thanks for stopping by, Zemerik!
The Mobi's slingshot activates and launches a screaming Zemerik outside, sending the tumbling Zelix back through the portal. The Mobias Command Center comes to a halt and Vert draws the portal's Battle Key towards him, sealing the rift.
Vert: Next time, knock first.
Vert triumphantly holds up the key while his teammates cheer from below, having won the day once again.
