Summary: One night, a luxury cruise ship is attacked by two giant monsters, a fish-man and a bat-like creature. These monsters are searching for a man called Hawk, but when they do not find him, they order coelacanth-type monsters to destroy the ship. Watching the video of the attack and hearing of more attacks, Hawk realizes that he can no longer hide his identity as a Pretender. He and his fellow Pretenders Lander (Landmine), Diver (Waverider) and Phoenix (Cloudburst) are forced to abandon their lives as normal humans and come out of hiding to protect a city. Things get complicated when Hawk's young human friend Shuta is caught by the Seacon Tentakil. Metalhawk is double-teamed but manages to defeat the Seacons with his sword. He is then confronted by Destron Pretenders Blood (Bombburst), Dauros (Skullgrin) and Gilmer (Submarauder) and beaten up on until the others show up.
