With Ryan unable to use his V.R.Power and transform, he is trapped underwater with his air running out. J.B. and Kaitlin must find a way to reach Ryan and destroy the underwater lab that is manufacturing the substance before it's too late. With time running out, J.B. drills through the bedrock to enter the lab without passing through the water, and then he and Kaitlin destroy Octobot to neutralize the substance to enable Ryan to transform out at the last moment.

When Grimlord uses a new devise to trap Kaitlin and J.B. in negative space, turning them into ""ghosts"" on earth (invisible to everyone except Jeb), the evil mutant lord realizes his weapon is a success and begins plans to send the entire planet into this new zone - where the V.R. Troopers are powerless - and his power is supreme. Meanwhile, J.B. and Kaitlin who've discovered the location of the negative weapon - arrive at the lab, scare the heck out of Jeb who can see the ""ghosts"", and manage to type the location of the buried device on a computer for Ryan. Professor Hart introduces Ryan to the V.R. Gargantus, an awesome robot created from the V.R. Skybase that will be backup for Ryan's solo mission. Jeb, meanwhile, uses virtual headgear to enter the Negative Zone and lead J.B. and Kaitlin to safety. After a tough battle with SCISSOR FIST, V.R. Ryan succeeds in dismantling the Negative device.

Kaitlin's photo shoot and J.B. and Ryan's motorcycles are destroyed when vicious plants come to life in Cross World City Park. Suspecting that Grimlord is behind this ecological stunt, J.B. and Kaitlin take a sample of the killer vine back to the lab for analysis. Meanwhile, Ryan is attacked by the killer vines. The vines later mutate into plant mutants: CHLOROPHOID and VEGBOT. V.R. Ryan battles Veg-Bot while V.R. J.B. and the twin V.R. Kaitlins fight Chlorophoid. The plant mutants must be destroyed before all life on earth is threatened. Once the Troopers are victorious, they give the plant samples to a biological foundation for research. The foundation rewards the teens with two brand new motorcycles.

With Ryan's help, Kaitlin interviews bikers about an upcoming charity ride. But when Ryan puts on a new helmet, he tries to run Kaitlin over. He then roars off, with Percy handing on. Later, J.B. and Kaitlin fight Skugs who melts away with a bike. Professor Hart suggest the bike might be a clue to Ryan's behavior. On the lab monitor, Ryan and the bikers are seen making havoc in the city. J.B. and Kaitlin track Ryan down, but CYCLETRON materializes from a bike and fights them. Afterwards, Kaitlin finds a helmet with a mind-control device. J.B. and Kaitlin, later, do battle with Cycletron at his headquarters where a possessed Ryan holds Percy captive. When J.B. pulls Ryan's helmet off, Ryan returns to normal and removes the helmets from the other bikers. Meanwhile, J.B. destroys Cycletron and saves the day.
