Plot summary

Presented from the viewpoint of Zeb, the story opens with Zeb reflecting on the advantages and disadvantages of his considerable size and strength. The central plot begins when Zeb is in the process of installing a new capacitor on the Ghost, only for it to be pilfered by a Chadra-Fan character named Lister, who then flees. Zeb pursues Lister into a clandestine hideout within the sewers, populated by others of his kind. Zeb uses his imposing presence to pressure Lister into offering the capacitor's return, but it's too late to prevent Skraik, the leader of the gang's, and his Gundark pet named Gigi, from launching an attack. The Gundark subdues Zeb, and Skraik gives the order to chain him up.

Later on, Lister sets Zeb free, but Zeb chooses to remain, determined to liberate the gang from their tyrannical leader. Zeb devises a scheme to overthrow Skraik, during which several Chadra-Fan remove Skraik's saddle. Gigi then switches sides, joining the rebellion and attacking Skraik, ultimately driving him away. Zeb emerges victorious, reclaiming his stolen capacitor.
