Breakout: Part Two is the ninth episode in the Hero Factory television series. It originally aired on Nicktoons on April 9, 2012. It is preceded by Episode 8: Breakout Part 1.
Plot
Daniel Rocka, who is trapped in the Villain Storage Unit, contacts Nathaniel Zib in Hero Factory, who tells him that they are running a Core Breach Drill and there is absolutely nothing to worry about, though Zib is actually forced by his captor, Black Phantom, to say this. However, Rocka is not convinced and becomes suspicious, so he escapes the Villain Storage Unit.
On Z'chaya, Nathan Evo is continuing his pursuit of Toxic Reapa, who keeps on hiding in the murky swamp, only continuing to come out to briefly attack Evo using his Toxic Jets.
On Scylla, Jawblade is locked in combat with William Furno underwater. Jawblade finds Oxidium and throws at Furno, who begins to rapidly rust. Jawblade explains what Oxidium is and states that he plans to use it to defeat any Hero.
On Tansari IV, Voltix moves in to finish off Jimi Stringer, but accidentally recharges his Hero Core, as Stringer reactivates himself and continues the fight. Stringer removes Voltix's voltage booster switch. When Stringer accidentally tripps onto one of Voltix's stolen energy cells, Voltix gives Stringer it and then uses his Shooting Volt Blaster to shoot at the energy cell to defeat Stringer. This causes an explosion.
In the Sigma Sigma Communications Satellite's asteroid field, Mark Surge, after being recovered from Infecticide, manages to cut two thirds of the asteroid heading for the communications satellite off, but the remaining third is still heading to the satellite and Surge gets attacked by Splitface.
Finally on Kollix IV, Speeda Demon manages to collapse an ice arch in front of Preston Stormer, allowing him to escape.
Alone in Hero Factory, Rocka tries to communicate with Zib, who activates a warning to draw Black Phantom away. Zib manages to tell Rocka of Black Phantom's nefarious actions in that he and Mission Control are imprisoned. Rocka heads to Akiyama Makuro's quarters to override the Fail-Safe Shield around the building. Black Phantom realizes that Rocka is on the move, and Zib pretends to not have contacted Rocka. Black Phantom uses an elevator shaft that Rocka is in to try to crush him and then sends Arachnix after him. Rocka escapes from being crushed by the elevator shaft, but gets surrounded and attacked by Arachnix drones. Black Phantom hears Rocka's scream, making him think that Rocka is defeated, so Black Phantom goes to finish what he came to the Factory for. Zib asks Black Phantom what he is doing. Black Phantom tells him his plan, to copy Hero Factory's design to make his own version of it to make an army, and then destroy the Hero Factory to get it out of his army's way. Zib doubts Black Phantom because the Quaza in Black Phantom's robots will make them recognize his villainy, but Black Phantoms states that he has a solution for this problem, which is Anti-Quaza, the Quaza's polar opposite. Black Phantom uses Anti-Quaza in his body to shut down all of the staff members in Mission Control.

Meanwhile, Rocka, being unable to contact Zib, desperately fights off the Arachnix drones and manages to start outrunning them, heading to Makuro's office.
In the asteroid field, Splitface is punching Surge to the ground of an asteroid. However, Surge stuns him with his Electricity Shooter and throws Splitface into the asteroid fragment, saving the satellite, and uses his Hero Cuffs to cuff Splitface. Splitface argues with himself about his failure, but Surge quiets him.
As Jawblade moves in to defeat Furno, Evo is chasing after Toxic Reapa, but his Plasma Gun is stuck to a rock. Evo tries radioing Furno for help, who angrily rebukes him as he is faring badly against Jawblade. Using his Tank Arm, Evo fired at the rock and launched himself at Toxic Reapa, throwing his Hero Cuffs and re-capturing the villain.
As Jawblade moves in to kill Furno, Furno calms down and relaxes. He uses his Hero Core to break the rust by supercharging. He then uses his harpoon on his Plasma Gun to shoot the cuffs, cuffing Jawblade. Furno starts bringing Jawblade with him.
On Kollix IV, Stormer powers through the ice and launches himself after Speeda Demon. He throws his cuffs, and Speeda Demon's left hand is cuffed and he is unable to properly control his bike and the cuffs grab onto the bike's right angle, sending him crashing into an icy mountain. Furno radios to Stormer saying that no Hero can contact Hero Factory as Stormer apprehends Speeda Demon.
Stringer awakes on Tansari VI, finding that Voltix's power has been absorbed by energy cells because of the explosion. While Voltix struggles making his Blaster work due to the Blaster having run out of energy, Stringer uses his cuffs to capture him. He removes Voltix's red wires to make Voltix unconscious, allowing Stringer to grab him. Stringer starts his search for his Hero Pod through Tansari VI's mist while carrying Voltix.
Inside Hero Factory, Rocka picks off the Arachnix drones with his Crossbow and reaches Makuro's door, which is locked with a slide puzzle, much to Rocka's annoyance.
Arriving in Makuhero City in a Drop Ship with all the Alpha 1 Team members and their cuffed villains (sans Stringer and Voltix), Stormer sees the Fail-Safe Shield. He sees Daniela Capricorn and her camera robot alone outside the Hero Factory and approaches her to get her help. She reports that no Heroes have returned from their missions, pleasing Black Phantom.
Rocka solves the puzzle and lowers the Fail-Safe Shield, and sees Black Phantom using the Assembly Tower's cranes to lift himself up in the Assembly Tower along the way. Rocka sees the returned heroes and tells Stormer to have himself and their fellow Heroes to head for the Assembly Tower fast. Stormer, Furno, Surge, and Evo run to the Hero Factory while Rocka runs to the Assembly Tower.

Stormer, Furno, Surge, and Evo go inside the Hero Factory, meeting Rocka near the Assembly Tower. While Evo is deactivating the lock in the door to the tower, Rocka explains the situation. Furno is surprised that Rocka accomplished so much and asks him how he did these actions, causing Rocka to reveal his membership in the Hero Recon Team. Furno is impressed by the revelation, and Surge asks Rocka if the HRT is accepting applications. Evo deactivates the lock, and he and the other Heroes rush in the Assembly Tower to stop Black Phantom.
The Heroes notice Black Phantom being charged with energy and being lifted higher in the tower. Evo wants to use his Plasma Gun to stop at Black Phantom, but Stormer stops him, warning him that shooting could blow the tower up. Furno discovers that Black Phantom is using his own energy to trigger a chain reaction that could destroy the whole Hero Factory. Stormer tells his fellow Heroes that they have to cut Black Phantom away from the tower's power core. The Heroes begin scaling the tower. When Black Phantom reaches the top of the tower, he sends Arachnix to fight the Heroes. Arachnix creates a swarm of clones to do so. The Heroes start fighting and destroying the drones. After destroying some of the drones, Rocka manages to break from them and jumps up at Black Phantom. Disarming the Razor Sabre Mace Staff from Black Phantom, Rocka is told by the villain that the building's destruction is imminent. Trying to fight Black Phantom, Rocka finds that the villain has too much power to defeat normally. When Rocka jumps on Black Phantom's back, Stormer tries to get Rocka to unplug him from the system, but Evo tells Rocka to plug Black Phantom even more. Right after Furno destroys the last of the Arachnix drones, he questions Evo's idea, but Evo tells Furno and Stormer to trust him. Stormer changes his advice, and Rocka begins plugging Black Phantom more, which overloads his systems, weakening him. Rocka uses his Hero Cuffs to cuff Black Phantom. Stormer learns that the tower is stabilized and its power output is returning to normal levels. Black Phantom go unconscious because of the overload.
Furno asks Evo how he came up with his idea of plugging in Black Phantom. Evo explains his idea, and thanks Furno and Stormer for giving him the idea of combining knowledge and his instincts. Furno is impressed with this and tells Stormer this. Surge wonders where Stringer is. Stringer then arrives with Voltix, late, because he could not remember where he parked his Hero Pod due to Tansari VI's mist.
Capricorn takes credit for saving the Hero Factory, calling herself an "honorary Hero", and reports that hundreds of villains are still at large.
Back in the Hero Factory, Zib realizes that Rocka's membership in the Hero Recon Team is how Rocka contacted Zib and knew that the override controls are in Makuro's quarters. Zib says that he thought Rocka was working for the other side. Rocka apologizes, and then explains that the Black Hole Orb Staff was placed in the Villain Storage Unit because it was a part of some larger plan. Makuro arrives and states that the Breakout was a distraction to keep the Heroes occupied, and there is a larger plan at work. Zib dreadfully explains that Black Phantom transferred a file containing the Hero Factory building's schematics to an unknown destination. Makuro dreadfully believes that whoever Black Phantom sent the schematics to now knows exactly what the Hero Factory does, worrying the Heroes.
The file is seen in a laptop in a dark room activated by possibly Von Nebula (with his hand shown) and an unseen being laughs when he sees his plan succeeding.
Cast
Trivia
- There is an animation error where right after Stringer removed Voltix's voltage booster switch, Voltix's blue wires, which were attached to the switch, are placed on his back armor rather than staying disconnected for an unknown reason. There is possibly another animation error where right after this scene, right after Stringer tripped onto an energy cell and then was thrown at the energy cell by Voltix, Voltix is seen having his switch back when it was impossible to get it back this fast.
- There is an animation error where in the shot where Stormer said "Uh", his right Scout Drone on his shoulder disappeared. It reappeared in the next shot when Stormer said "Catch him and cuff him, I like it".
- This episode is the only episode where the Hero Recon Team is mentioned.
- There is an animation error where during some parts of the fight in the Assembly Tower, Black Phantom's leg armor disappeared.
- XPlode is shown in a silent cameo in the end of the episode. He was recaptured by a Hero, with another one helping this one while Daniela Capricorn is filming. Other villains shown in the previous episode did not appear in this episode. Vapor, Thornraxx, Core Hunter, XT4, Natalie Breez, Dunkan Bulk, and Julius Nex did not appear in the episode for an unknown reason, either, despite them having sets in 2010 and 2012.
- While Capricorn is filming, three Heroes are seen driving motorcycles that look like the Furno Bike.
- Right before Stormer said to Rocka that Rocka is from the Hero Recon Team, there is a holographic Roboball Bulk 1.0 duplicate from Episode 6: Savage Planet Part 1 looking at one of the consoles in Mission Control. The duplicate is just a reused animation model for a Hero Factory staff member, so this is not canon.
- Von Nebula's hand is shown in a cameo in the end of the episode when the Hero Factory's schematics are opened in the laptop. The villain who laughed when he got the schematics from Black Phantom is probably not Von Nebula. This unknown villain is not credited in the episode, but did in the next episode, Episode 10: Brain Attack.
- This episode has an unresolved cliffhanger, as Black Phantom's ally is planning to make an evil version of the Hero Factory.
- Unlike Episode 6: Savage Planet Part 1 and Episode 7: Savage Planet Part 2, Episode 8 and this episode use word versions of the Savage Planet episodes' titles' numbers instead of the numbers themselves for an unknown reason.
- Like Episode 8, this episode does not have a comic based on it or even its script, neither is it featured in a DVD or iTunes for an unknown reason. Also, unlike the Savage Planet episodes, Rocka's first name, "Daniel", is not credited in the end credits for an unknown reason. Daniela Capricorn's name in the end credits is misspelled as "Daniella Capricorn".
- When this episode and the one before came as one movie on television on their premiere date, their title cards were removed, with one title card, "Breakout", replacing the "Breakout Part 1" title card.
