Fireball XL5 Crew

After Zoonie causes chaos in Space City, a furious Commander Shore locks the creature in a cage. Meanwhile, Steve, Matt and Venus are busy on the jungle planet of Floran, where the virulent plant disease Planetoid 3 has wiped out all the vegetation. Fireball XL5 is loaded with an Ellvium bomb, which, when exploded in the atmosphere, will destroy the disease and restore the plant life. However, two of the native Florans are suspicious – they capture the XL5 crew and imprison them in a castle’s high tower…
