In “Last Stand,” available now, players must defeat six Omega Defiance bosses in order to stop Kronis from taking over the world. In the second game, launching Tuesday, February 23, players can help Aaron hone his skills and dodge, run and jump faster in order to defeat the new villain Damaged and his henchmen.

Following the linear premiere, full episodes of “Aaron Stone” will be available via DisneyXD.com, Disney XD VOD, Disney XD Mobile VOD, iTunes and XBOX.

The premiere schedule is:

• “Aaron Stone” (8:00 p.m.) In the Season Two premiere, “Damage Control,” a new threat arises when the hooded villain, Damaged, frees himself and a bus full of failed experiments, criminals and mutants and begins picking off the remaining Omega Defiance members. Dr. Necros comes looking to Aaron Stone for protection but instead leads him into Damaged’s clutches. Meanwhile, Jason is determined to get Charlie a dream job working at the video game and comic store, Never-ending Comics.

• “Aaron Stone” (8:30 p.m.) In the episode “In the Game of the Father,” when Charlie discovers that his father worked for the Omega Defiance, the news sends him into a tailspin as he tries to prove that his father wasn’t evil. Charlie follows clues left by his father to track down an intelligence serum, which leads Aaron Stone to a rematch with Damaged . With new threats to the world, T. Abner Hall enlists Vas and Ram to create a ‘Hero Rising’ expansion pack to help Charlie train for his inevitable confrontation with these new villains..
