After the Gorenger accidentally discover the plans for Navarone from a departure site, the Black Cross Fuhrer considered him a failure and went forth in reviving Commander-in-Chief Golden Mask, making Magman decide to rampage and destroy EAGLE before he awoke. The Gorenger ultimately discover through a coffee spill three weak points within Navarone, which they use the three Gorenger Machines to hit, destroying the base. Magman escaped unharmed and took his anger out on the Gorenger in a tough battle.
