Soon the President of the United States will summon Bob in order to utilize the potential of CX-3. What Bob does not know is that the President has made a pact with an evil sorcerer, and soon CX-3 will be at the center of a struggle for universal domination. However, no one can use the CX-3 without Bobas cooperation. That fact will put Linda and the President in peril, when they are taken hostage and transported to another planet to force Bobas collaboration.
