Episode 5: Taste of Defeat

Plot:

First, it starts with Gus, Subterra Vestal member, before his transformation. He prays at a Helios altar and asks for a sign. Spectra comes and offers a position in the Vexos.
Meanwhile, Dan and Drago are relaxing on the beach, when Ace breaks everyone's bubble and orders the group to set sail for Alpha City. Meanwhile, Mira gives Dan the Scorpion trap, and explains the Resistance doesn't know much about traps yet.
Meanwhile, all the Vexos are at a secret meeting, where Gus criticizes them for failing their battles. Spectra allows Gus to attack the Resistance.
While Dan is outside, a mysterious figure (Gus) comes and asks Dan why he battles for the Resistance, leaving Dan puzzled and speechless. Gus leaves thinking that Dan is just an amateur.
The second time, Spectra sends Gus for a battle, that Dan accepts.
There's another flashback that shows when Gus passed his test into the Vexos, by actually standing up against Helios.
It's a tough match against Gus' Vulcan. Dan uses his trap, Scorpion, in a tight situation. The trap's ability to increase Drago's firepower seems handy for the battle. However, Gus sends out his own trap, Hexados, a worm equipped with lasers.
After a tough (and long) battle, Dan is defeated, but Drago is taken away. Gus, pleased that he won, walks away to tell Spectra.
Meanwhile, Dan's actually happy for the "best battle he had in his life."
