Upon entering, the robots spring to life to battle the superheroes. The robots prove to be tough to defeat, so they take refuge inside the ship.

The take the group on a tour of the ship, showing them the electric eels that power it. A sleep vapor is released into the ship's air, incapacitating them all. Zan and Jayna are kidnapped while the others are taken prisoner. When the Wonder Twins awake, they find that they are now wearing their lookalikes clothing.
