The S.S. Explorer fleet and the Drule Empire fleet are in a standoff. Each waiting to see what the other will do. Captain Vallen wants to attack but Hazar again orders him not to. When they notice the Water Team doing surveillance the Drule fleet launches an attack on them, the rest of the team going to their aid. Hazar orders Vallen to stand down. Instead Vallen decides to bait the Voltron Force into thinking they are retreating then launches a Robeast at them, escalating the conflict as the team form Voltron to fight the Robeast underwater.
