Plot
Xenoc, the heart of the universe, holds the valuable energy source known as Xeno-energy. It has the power to create or destroy. For eons, this cosmic energy gathered and destroyed civilizations until the wisest and oldest species, Zenterrans, managed to land containment chambers on the planet surface. Fearing that every race would be waring over the contained energy, Master Khadan issued a contest. Each alien civilization would choose their champion for this great power and whoever controls the Xeno-energy will decide the fate of the universe. Since the Zenterrans were extending their neutrality, even the Kragnans would come. The Kragnans, a race of fierce crablike creatures who travel in space ships made of lava and land vehicles made of bones, have enslaved or eaten half of the universe. They seek more energy for hatching their new generation of eggs. Our hero, Ultrox, knows there is more to Xeno-energy than even the Zenterrans know. Just then, he notices a Kragnan ship on a crash course. He saves its imprisoned occupant, Jek, from a squad of Klaw Troopers. Just before he was vaporized by another Kragnan ship, the gangster named Seadrok accidentally dropped his space anchor on the ship, thus saving his life. After a little persuasion by dropping Ne'tal champion G'rog, Ultrox joins the races.
On the planet Krag, the Kragnans, knowing that they couldn't steal the Xeno-energy or eat the Zenterran brains, entered the races. The Zenterrans created an enforcer from Xeno-energy named Gamekeeper Kytani to ensure that the rules would be followed. Jek followed the Kragnan Klaw Trooper who had kidnapped his uncle. The lone dead man named Skrash detonated a mountain.
After the first race, a Kragnan commander attempts to steal the Command Matrix. But when warned of the trap set by Undermaster Ahkil that would unleash Xeno-energy on the entire Kragan Empire, Undermaster Akhil mind-controlled the Kragnan. The result sent streams of Xeno-energy on every signal Kragnan. Miraculously, the Empress and her eggs were spared. Master Khadan explained that the Xeno-energy only wiped out the Kragnans identical to the commander. Ahkil was executed though he did save the universe from the Kragnan threat. The Zenterrans would always hold the races while Gnarl will try to win to restore the empire's former glory. Meanwhile, Ultrox will have to keep winning.
As the races progressed, Ultrox discovered that the Xeno-energy was becoming more violent because of the races.

Xeno-energy
This violent energy is the lifeblood of Xenoc. For eons, it destroyed civilization by civilization. It also keeps the lone inhabitant, Skrash alive. The Zenterrans, with help from Jek's kind, built chambers with Command Matrixes to contain the energy. The equations were so complex that only the Zenterrans knew how to access it. In Powershift Part 2, Ultrox discovered that the Xeno-energy was containing itself in the Xeno-boosters. It thinks it's alive but it isn't.
Xeno-boosters
Small disc containing a small amount of xeno-energy that powers anything it touches. It can only be used for ten seconds. The Zenterrans retrieve all the unused ones.
Xeno Cells
A capsule containing a powerful amount of Xeno energy that is presented to the winner of each race. Unfortunately, it is hard to use, so the Zenterran have to send a technician to help out. Once done, the technician reported back to Master Khadan.
