After another successful fight, Max finds Steel depressed on account of his identity crisis. Longing desperately for a past, Steel leaves Max to attempt to tap into the memory of the closest thing to a fellow alien species member - Extroyer's UltraLink. That leads to a connection whereby both become dysfunctional, and leaves Max unable to tap into TURBO power through Steel (whom even Berto seems unable to repair). An Extroyer attack at THI forces immediate action, despite fighting without Steel.
