While the Troopers are on a nature hike with J.B.'s nephew Sidney, Doom Master poses as a Park Ranger and gives Sydney a virtual spider to show his friends. It attacks J.B. and Kaitlin, biting them both with a virtual poison that enters their bloodstream and accelerates the aging process. As they begin to get older, Ryan attempts to find the spider so Professor Hart can make an antidote from its venom. Looking for the spider, though, Ryan is abducted by Skugs and taken to a waterfront location where ARACHNABOT, Grimlord's newest warrior, is waiting for him. They do battle, but Ryan sees that he's outmatched and gets away. Meanwhile, Sydney has decided to locate the spider that bit his uncle and Kaitlin on his own, and falls into a deep cave during the pursuit, realizing that the virtual spider is in the cave with him! Ryan once again battles Arachnabot, as Professor Hart sends Jeb to help Sydney. Ryan is nearly defeated by Arachnabot, but Doom Master steps in and destroys the bot first
