To beat Arthur, Pierre-Yves made an alliance with the Kulans stranded on Earth. Their leader Fray'kon shared with him Kulan technology so he could get into space. Pierre-Yves tried sabotaging Arthur's Planet Hopper by sending a Kulan virus to corrupt their computer software. Pierre-Yves had trouble trying to fuse Kulan and human technology together so he asked he ex-wife Christine for help, but she kept refusing. Pierre-Yves then kidnapped their daughter Pippa and forced her to help him. Christine managed to fuse the technologies together and made Pierre-Yves's Space Dart functional.
