Plot
Rom and his friends follow the Wolf Sword's directions to Cronos' arctic area, where they discover some mysterious tracks. Unknown to them they are being tracked by Gades from the Gandora mothership. Diondora and some troops are the source of the tracks - they are searching for the Hyribead. Gades tells them of the approaching travelers. Drill meanwhile creates an ice cave for his friends to rest in but they are trapped inside by Diondra and Zagam, a Gandora soldier who has easily adapted to the cold. Rom realizes they are under attack and sets off with Jet to draw the enemy's attention while Drill gets Jim and Reina to safety. However, Zagam tracks Drill. Although winning the fight against Drill, he is shocked by Reina's appearance and takes her with him under the ice.
Diondora is unable to defeat Rom and Jet and withdraws, swearing vengeance against Zagam for disappearing in the battle. Under the ground Reina awakes in a frozen graveyard. Zagam has second thoughts about leaving Reina to die as she resembles his long-dead lover Elura, who was killed in an avalanche. He returns her to Rom without being seen before reporting back to Diondora, who sends him to attack again. This time he goes through the ice with Rom, who summons Blade Dragon to fight him. Zagam is mortally injured and chooses to die under the ice with Diana. Rom reunites with the others and Reina notices a Wolf emblem shining on one of the mountains. It disappears, leaving the Hyribead a mystery still.

- At absolute zero a Machine Robo cannot last 5 minutes, which is actually quite impressive that they can last any time at all.
- Battleflex is seem merely following the others as they walk at the beginning, but disappears when they enter the ice cave. He appears again at the end of the episode behind them.
- The Gandora have snow track vehicles.
- Zagam is immune even to the cold of absolute zero and can turn invisible.
- Drill can carve a shelter out of a wall of ice in a few moments, complete with a furniture made of sculpted ice!
- Diondora carries an "electro lash" whip, with which she get the upper hand in combat with Rom. She can also fly.
- Reina's eyes flash when her power is low.
- This is the first episode not to feature Vikung-Fu, as Rom defeats Zagam with Blade Dragon. It is also the first episode not to feature the Devil Satan 6 team.
