He proceeds to open a door, where Max Steel, in his Turbo Strength Mode, appears as a surprise and attempts to fight him, but he liquifies himself and escapes. Max gets confused but Steel remember him to first free Ven-Ghan and then focus on him. However, before he could, Metallak emerges and deactivate Max's Turbo Strength Mode, so the duo combine Turbo Spike and Turbo Cannon modes to fight. They manage to knock him down and successully untie Ven-Ghan. After thanking Max, Air Elementor and Earth Elementor suddenly appear and Metal awakens and commands them to destroy themm.
Max activates Turbo Speed Mode and manages to escape on a vehicle along with Ven-Ghan. He proceeds to activate its flight mode to escape, but Earth and Air fuse themselves and manage to damage it. They end up being captured by Air and Earth, while Ven-Ghan is violently tossed on the ground by Metallak, who proceeds to free his prisoner: Makino, who continues with his plan of tearing Earth apart with his drill.
Ven-Ghan warns Max that he could destroy the planet in two, so the duo manage to free themselves and activate Turbo Nova Mode, shooting a powerful burst of T.U.R.B.O. Energy that knocks down Makino. The drill proceeds to go deeper and deeper, but Max and Steel successfully manage to stop it just in time. Meanwhile, Ven-Ghan fights against Metallak and manages to capture him with one of his containment capsules. Makino suddenly attacks Ven, but Max appears and knocks the villain down.

Trivia[]
- Multi Striker, the vehicle that Max uses to escape from the Elementors, is based off on a vehicle from the classic series that debuted in the movie Dark Rival. Although it was only featured on this mini episode, it was introduced in 2015 and re-released few times on the toy line, such as the Multi Striker Vehicle set.
- It's unknown if this mini episode is canon to the series or not, as it was released after The Wrath of Makino, which marks the titular villain's death. Furthermore, he appears using his first humanoid battle form which was destroyed during the events of The Final Countdown Part Two.
- This mini episode marks the last appearance of Ven-Ghan before the events of Team Turbo.
