Disastro is released from his crystal prison by an undersea explosion. He makes his way ashore. In his wake is death; fish, trees, villages, military hardware. Nothing can stop him! Johnny future flies to the planet Xenon, where the material for the crystal prison originated. Zarro, a scientist, helps Johnny to summon Disastro to the planet. There they defeat him and turn his body into gas which disperses across the whole planet, thus destroying him. Back on Earth, Johnny is told that the military won't need his help after all because Disastro disappeared soon after Johnny left.
