The Luminous Lady (1st story)
1st story:
The sun sets almost reluctantly over the island of Manhattan, as if sensing the horror that will be unleashed with the fall of night. Inside the abandoned Holy Ghost Church, there are none to turn their faces up and savor the last dying rays of the sun—no one, save one tortured soul who cowers in the darkest corner, writhing away from the shifting fingers of light, feverishly awaiting the coming gloom. This one is a friend of the dark hours that others shun. He welcomes them gladly. Cloaked in their mantle of shadows, he knows he will feed.
"Dagger," Cloak mutters. The single word he croaks triggers a fever dream spurred by the primal hunger he feels, a hunger he dimly remembers being appeased by shrouding wrong doers in his cape of darkness, sending them into another world of ebon fear, where the predator within himself would suck the exquisite light of their life energy from them, leaving them drained, cold and sick, and him, Cloak the Parasite—no, he shuns that thought—Cloak the Avenger, sated by the feast within.
That single word he gasped sparks images somewhere in the remainder of his mind of the terrible, all-encompassing hunger being abated by another means: a merciful angel of light, who would share her abundance with him, thus quelling the horrifying, exquisite longing within himself. But his longing gradually took on a different form, didn't it? Hunger was revealed to be a word of many aspects, wasn't it? His mind comes unbidden to a time when he thought those aspects were to be forever denied him. Now, with his powers, abilities, and need stripped from him, he feared losing the angel, and in desperation, sought aid in superstitious rumors.
An ebon cube held the solution to his heart's blackest desire, he was told. The price for this wonder of wonders? Payment would be requested at some future date, he was glad to hear. How to unlock the secret of the cube that would restore the angel to him forever? Merely to give in to the longing, unleash the desire, give vent to the hunger, he was told. Longing, desire and hunger were three of his oldest friends; in the end, it was almost too easy.
He became the cursed mad custodian of darkness again, knowing that this would cement the Angel of Light to him... when, in fact, it had the opposite effect. Disgusted by the choice he made, herself desiring only to be normal again, she left him, denying him her light—and that for which his longing was as strong as his hunger for her light. She left  him alone in a deeper darkness than he had ever experienced before, alone in the darkness as the hours and days passed, and now, his hunger for life energy grows until it blots out all else in his brain, held back by the stinging brightness outside the windows, until, finally, it is night again. And this night, he shall feed!
In the one place of relative sanity that remains in his mind, he reasons that since his hunger will not and cannot be denied, he will find the wicked and deprive them of their light. After all, don't they deserve to suffer? Cloak follows two mischievous-looking boys down a decrepit alleyway. He watches them sneak behind a boarded-up door, moving quietly so as not to get caught. After all, no one must discover their secret. Cloak follows them inside. To his surprise, he sees the two boys, Paco and Manuel, playing with a litter of new puppies. Soon the puppies will grow big enough to leave their mother, Paco exclaims. They will continue sneaking them food in the meantime. Once the puppies are grown, they and their friends will all have a puppy of their own, and Paco will get to bring Lady back home, where his mother will not have to worry about the burden of feeding the litter.
It is said that hunger once denied becomes all the harder to deny the next time. Searching for another source of food, Cloak happens upon a grocer rushing out of his store and shouting at a man down the street. Hey, stop, the grocer shouts! Cloak assumes it to be a robbery, and rejoices; he finally has a candidate for his dinner. To his disappointment, the grocer catches up with the man and returns to him the wallet he left on the counter. The man thanks him and smiles. Cloak, on the other hand, grimaces.
He retreats. The hunger gets harder and harder to deny each time. Eventually, Cloak staggers down the center of the street, cars swerving wildly to avoid him, while passersby hurry to get out of the way of his lurching, shambling advance. In his wake, he leaves a trail of utter darkness. The light he absorbs is the wrong kind, but, blindly hungering for the living light, he selfishly drinks it in anyway, leaving a black vacuum where no hint of light can penetrate. The zone of shadow creeps up the sides of buildings, resembling nothing so much as some sort of obscene scar across the face of the city. But somewhere, there must be light to hold back the darkness...
Meanwhile, the young mutant known as Dazzler sits on a roof ledge, lost in song, using her ability to transform sound into light to provide her own private fireworks show. Following a concert at the pier, Dazzler was too jazzed to go home just yet, so with the aid of a radio, she has stopped off to give her own vocal skills release. "Marlene watches from the wall, her mocking smile says it all, as she records the rise and fall, of every soldier passing," Dazzler sings, transducing the music into a colorful display of light in the process. "But the only soldier now is me, I'm fighting things I cannot see... I think it's called my destiny—" Something grabs her foot. Dazzler looks down in utter shock and sees the desiccated Cloak clinging to her ankle for dear life. The expression written on his face is clear: he needs her help. He clings to the surface like a spider, his cape whipping and billowing in the night wind, a dark trail running up the building he slowly climbed, too weak to travel through the darkness he holds within himself.
Cloak has found the Dazzler. However, the whereabouts of his original target, Dagger, remain a mystery.
Several hours earlier...
Tandy Bowen, the blond-haired superhuman known as Dagger, talks to her mother on a payphone. The conversation ends as they usually do; Tandy's mother neglects to listen to her daughter's cries for help and heads off to a party. Tandy gives a curt goodbye and hangs up the phone. Next, she dials her step-father, Phillip Carlisle. Unfortunately, she only connects with the answering machine at his office. Tandy is supremely disappointed. Surely her stepdad would have listened while she explained the rotten way Cloak treated her; she cannot think of anyone else who would. Father Delgado is locked up in an insane asylum, Brigid O'Reilly turned into some sort of weird creature, the Power Pack kids are way too young to understand, and the New Mutants are just as mixed-up and confused as Tandy. She needs to find a clear-thinking, rational adult to whom she can spill her heart. Suddenly, it hits her: Spider-Man! Dagger takes off running.
The present…
Back on the building ledge, Dazzler helps Cloak reach the safety of the roof. That scare he gave her must have taken twenty years off her life, Dazzler says! She wonders if she will see white hairs next time she looks in the mirror. In the meantime, she rolls Cloak on his back and sees what she can do to help. Obviously, he is in pain. Dazzler emits a slight glow from her hands so she can examine his injuries. To her surprise—the second one of the evening—Cloak reaches up and clamps her by the wrist, muttering Dagger's name. Suddenly, Alison realizes who this man is. She recognizes him from the files at the X-Mansion. Having once accessed his file while studying, Dazzler knows both he and Dagger are mutants whose latent powers were awakened by their involuntary injection of an experimental drug. Dazzler also knows Cloak needs the light given off by Dagger to survive. That must be why he is in such pain, she says.
An announcement on the radio asks its listeners to stay tuned for a special bulletin regarding the city's mysterious blackout. Ignoring this announcement, Alison asks Cloak where they can find Dagger, but he can barely speak. The news bulletin continues. It states that the blackout crippling the city continues to spread, even though its cause remains a mystery. If it continues, the announcer warns, it may soon overwhelm all of Manhattan. Suddenly, Dazzler realizes this blackout must be Cloak's doing! He must be absorbing all the light from the area; perhaps this is why he felt attracted to Dazzler. She can produce light of any variety by altering its color, intensity and duration, but she knows not what kind of light Cloak needs. Without Dagger around, however, it falls on Dazzler to try.
Recalling that Cloak liked her glowing hand earlier, Dazzler produces a mega-dose of that same variety and channels it toward Cloak. Strangely enough, she can feel him "drinking" the light, but sees that it is not doing the trick. She instead tries some pulsating beams. They don't work either. Next, Dazzler tries her signature chaotic cascade of sparkling lights and colors. The exertion from these repeated efforts start to wear on her. Sweat begins accumulating on her forehead, and yet, Cloak remains unsatisfied. Through with playing around, Dazzler begins lobbing several geometric shapes of solid light at the starving man, but watches in despair as Cloak's dark tendrils reach up and snatch them as fast as she can produce them, with no seeming effect on his health. Finally, as a last resort, Dazzler expels the remainder of her energy in the form of an expanding light-sphere. She wonders what might happen if her best is not good enough. "It's showdown time, buster!" Dazzler says. "I'm hot and I'm tired and I'm sick of feeling you trying to reach inside of me and pull out my light! You want it—you got it! And I hope it gives you indigestion!"
The Dazzler explodes in a glare of blinding polarity. The effect is somewhat akin to the sun suddenly going nova in a next-door neighbor's backyard. Unfortunately, although the quantity of light is sufficient, it happens to be the wrong kind. Dazzler passes out, completely exhausted. "That's it... the fat lady's sung," she says, "...and it looks like I'm dessert." She falls unconscious as Cloak's snaking tendrils worm their way over to her limp body. They seek out the only source of the kind of light that will appease the darkness, the one kind of light that the Dazzler couldn't give—her succulent life energy!
The hunger rips deep into Cloak's vitals. The pain has transported him into the unreasoning primal creature that he has become this night. It is the measure of the hero's spirit that resides within his soul that despite the desperate yearning to fill the aching void that torments him so, one last time this night, when it costs him the most, he finds the strength of will to say, "No!" No to the darkness! No to the surrender of will that would allow him to hurt an innocent being—an innocent being like Dagger, his beloved Angel of Light, who was hurt by his selfish surrender of recent days. Never again, Cloak vows!
Suddenly, in bright white light manifests far in the distance. Cloak wonders if it is the reward for his triumph of will. As he stands and runs toward it, Dazzler recovers from her fainting spell. Honestly, she is surprised to still be alive. She has never felt this tired in her life—every muscle aches—but she's alive nonetheless. And there goes the sponge of darkness, she thinks as Cloak flees. She sure hopes he finds Dagger soon, for everyone’s sake.
The bright beacon of hope eventually brings Cloak back to his former haven, the Holy Ghost Church. His lurching advance carries him within, croaking out his desperate litany once more. At the pew, he sees a lithe figure silhouetted by a flare of pure, white light. "Dagger!" Cloak cries.
The figure, a thin, blond man with a devious grin on his face, spins around and corrects his visitor. Cloak can call him Day, he says. "As in Night and Day," Day's shrouded female companion adds. Day grins as he summons as glowing white ball of light in his right hand. Grinning, he tells his ally that he knew his light would draw Cloak back to the church.
As he maneuvers the light in his hand, Day notices Cloak's eyes following it, just like a suckling babe drawn to its mother's bosom. "Does ya want this, playmate?" Day asks. "Well, then, me kind an' generous disposition is a gonna see that you gets it!" The glowing orb transforms into a spear in his hand. He hurls it at Cloak, hitting him squarely in the chest. Cloak groans and collapses to the ground, unconscious. Night and Day rejoice as they approach his smoldering body. He's such an angel when he's asleep, Day says. He and Night hoist the sleeping Cloak up onto the altar and lay him on his back. "Oh, Mister Jip, your wee prize has come a toddlin' 'ome and is 'avin' a bit of a nap!" Day says. Out of the shadows comes a hulking, grotesque, gray monster. This monster, Mister Jip, lurks over to the altar and beholds his prisoner. At last, Mister Jip says—Cloak is his!

Descent into Darkness (First Story)
first story:
‘Perhaps I should thank you, Dagger, for being so cooperative in rushing headlong into my trap - but, instead, I’ll thank my Dark Master for this opportunity to revenge myself on you - by dumping your lifeless corpse at his feet!’ grins the woman called Night, as she stands and watches Tandy “Dagger” Bowen throw light daggers at some shadow demons who are attacking her. ‘Don’t count your corpses before they’re cold, Night! I’m not about to lie down and play dead for the likes of you and your rotten puppet-mater, Mister Jip!’ Dagger tells the woman who wears a fish-net body suit, with black material barely covering the necessary parts of her body. Dagger wishes she was as confident as she founds, but decides that Cloak brought her here, so surely he will return and help her - won’t he?
The hideous Mister Jip watches Dagger’s plight from the barren location where he is currently, and remarks to himself that Cloak was his prisoner, that he placed him here in order to witness Dagger’s plight, tortured with the knowledge that he was helpless to intervene. He holds up some chains and decides that he must reason this out - as Cloak could not have escaped, for the mystic bonds saw to that, and they are intact, which means, Cloak did not escape. Mr Jip realizes that another unforeseen random factor has entered the equation to once again disfigure his exquisite machinations. Stroking his upper lip, above his jagged teeth, Mr Jip checks the view screen, which shows that Cloak is not at his imperilled partner’s side, and wonders where Cloak can be.
Far away from that bleak mountain top, in a basement rec room in Fernwood, Ohio, the subject of Dagger and Mr Jip’s thoughts is engaged in earnest conversation with the youngest member of the Plotnick family, little Lamar. Tyrone “Cloak” Johnson is on a pool table, a pentagram has been drawn on it and candles are at each point. He tells the child that he must free him from the pentagram so that he can go to the aid of a friend who is in dire jeopardy. ‘No! You’re my demon! I conjured you up and you hafta be my slave! My pop’s book says so!’ the boy, clutching a teddy bear in one hand, calls out as he looks up from the oversized book on the floor. Cloak asks Lamar to listen to him, and explains that he is not a demon, but a super hero, of sorts, and that he needs to rescue someone.
‘Nope - ya can’t fool me! The book sez demons tell fibs! They’ll make up any kinda story to git loose!’ the boy replies, declaring that he conjured Cloak up and that he is keeping him. The boy heads towards a flight of stairs and announces that he is going to get some Froot Loops and root bear and think about what he is going to command his slave to do. ‘Hmmm…my big sister’s mean to me all-time…maybe I’ll have ya snatch her bald-headed right in fronta all her dumb boyfriends at school!’ Lamar supposes. ‘Wait, kid - come back!’ Cloak calls out. He looks concerned and realizes he doesn’t know where that child got a hold of that mystic tomie, but that he obviously misread some passage in his “conjuring” to leave him trapped in this magic circle instead of a creature from the nether reaches. ‘Probably luck for him that he did - but unlucky for me!’ Cloak decides, knowing that he has got to convince the boy to break the circle free so he can go to assist Dagger.
Night continues to watch Dagger battle the demons and, calling her “cherished enemy”, remarks that revenge is sweet. ‘I promised you would die at my command when you were responsible for badly injuring my partner, Day’ Night reminds Dagger. ‘You kept me out of that fight by stunning me with one of your light knives before I was ready to defend myself. You never got a chance to see my powers in action’ Night smiles and explains that her powers are to extract the darkness of evil from people and create begins of “pure” darkness who respond to her every command, and fortunately, this city is full of evil people, ripe to be drained of the darkness needed to populate her army here. Dagger is backed up against a wall, as the shadow army closes in on her. ‘Send your army on, then - I’ll take as many of them with me as I can before I fall to the likes of you!’ Dagger declares defiantly.
Night responds that she will, but not until performing this final act of irony, and states that all humans are tainted by darkness to one extent, or another - even Dagger. ‘And so I will extract that bit of darkness from you, Dagger - and I will use it as part of the instrument of your death!’ A black cat shadow leaps from Dagger, and bounds into Night’s arms. Dagger suddenly feels strange, she isn’t tired anymore and the panic has gone. She decides that she feels centered somehow, and strong. She realises that Night has cleansed her system by taking away her darkness. ‘This state of purity is unlike anything I ever imagined!’ Dagger tells herself, as she closes her eyes, and begins to glow, feeling the light raging within her, without the darkness to temper the force of its purity.
Dagger starts to heat up, and with the glowing, she feels like she is going to explode with light, and wonders if she can control it. Night boasts that she will fashion the army at her command into a single collective mass which will mean Dagger’s doom. The dark shadows begin to merge into one being, as Night announces that she will enjoy Dagger’s death more fully, knowing that she has contributed to it in her own small way, as the cat shadow from Dagger bounds into the dark mass, which forms into a very large crocodile or alligator. ‘Now, my pet, enough stalling…kill the putrid girl!’ Night shrieks. The large shadow creature swats its tail towards Dagger, who leaps to safety. She feels so full of energy, so full of light, and wonders whether she can fight this creature and the fires that burn inside her as well.
Dagger dodges an attack from the shadow creature’s mouth, while deciding that the light wells up within her like a flood-swollen stream straining against an inadequate damn. ‘If I don’t give it some outlet, the dam (that’s me) will surely break!’ Tandy thinks to herself. She manages to climb up some rubble, reminding herself that she always expends light by throwing off her light knives, but given they had so little effect on the individual shadow creatures, she wonders what chance they will stand against the whole. But, she can’t hold it in any longer, so she has to do something. ‘I burn with the purity’ Dagger tells herself, realizing thatshe could never do this in her impure state, but somehow knows that she can do it now.
A glowing ball of pure energy is formed in her hand, and she wills the light into solid form, as solid as the shadow creature that she faces. An instant later, the light takes the form of a sword. ‘I did it!’ Tandy thinks to herself as she leaps onto the creature, ‘Okay, ugly - let’s dance!’ she shouts. Dagger feels wonderful, like she can do anything. ‘I can perform feats of skill and movement that would have been impossible for the “old” Dagger on her best day!’ Tandy decides, cart wheeling to safety when the creature tries to swat her with its tail once more. ‘Hahahaha - missed me, snaggletooth!’ she calls out, holding her sword of light up she boasts that she was trained as a ballet dancer, but now possesses the grace and stamina of a danger magnified an absurd number of times.
‘Isn’t that right, thunder-thighs!’ Dagger exclaims as she leaps onto the shadow-beast’s head, and grins as she shouts ‘Wah-hooo! Two gun Dagger rides again!’ and holds the sword overhead. ‘This old cayuse ain’t much on looks, but he sure gets the mileage fro ma bale of hay!’ Dagger jokes. ‘Well, o’l paint, we better be moseyin’ back to the barn -’ she continues to joke, when suddenly, the creature bucks backwards, and Dagger falls from it’s back as the creature starts to walk on two legs, like a tyrannosaurs rex dinosaur. ‘We could be headed for the last round-up!’ Dagger jokes, as she gets to her feat, suspecting only one of them is going to be riding off into the sunset. ‘And it ain’t gonna be you, buckaroo!’
Dagger reaches up, ‘Thanks, pal - you’ve got me right where I want you!’ Dagger exclaims as she shoves the light sword into the shadow beast. The thrust is deep and lethal - the shadow creature topples, and Dagger is saved - isn’t she? Night grins and thinks ‘Don’t celebrate just yet, kid. Your troubles are just beginning’.
Back in America’s heartland, Lamar is back in the rec room, sitting in front of a television. A bowl of Froot Loops at one side, a bottle of root beer at the other. Cloak calls out to him, telling him that he has to let him loose. ‘I’m not a demon, but the spell you used to bring me here is keeping me from being able to leave, just the same!’ Cloak explains, adding that Dagger is in danger and he has to go to her. ‘Shush, demon! I’m still thinking about what to order you to do first - be good or I’ll make you eat asparagus and worms!’ Lamar threatens Cloak. Tyrone decides that whatever faulty sort of magic the boy used was genuine, as the pentagram is look a force field, holding him in place. He can’t teleport away, either, meaning all he can do is wait and pray that Dagger is all right.
At that moment, Dagger pulls her sword of light from the shadow creature and tells Night ‘I should probably sheathe my sword in you next, but in my presence state, I feel an inexplicable surge of mercy’, and asks her if she will surrender to her. ‘Our duel is far from over’ Night replies, pointing out that she has slain the group mind, but has yet to deal with the individual components. From the slain shadow creature, the individual shadows spill, and move towards Dagger. ‘My mistake was in removing your own darkness to use it to kill you - allow me to return that darkness to you - and then some!’ Night declares.
The shadows begin to surround Dagger, who swipes at them with her light sword. But, as fast as she hacks one shadow-demon down, tow more spring up to take its place. Tandy is worried that there are just too many, and sooner or later, one of them is going to get through. As if one cue, one of them latches onto her left side. Tandy realizes that she is no longer pure, as the sword starts to fade when more of the shadows latch on to her. She starts to feel tired - worse than tired, sick. She starts to get entirely covered by the shadow, and feels dizzy, weak. Fear is in her eyes, as she realizes that she is helpless, she starts to panic. ‘This is it - this is the end -’ Tandy tells herself, as the last part of her body is covered in the shadow. ‘Go, Yip Yap! Tell the master it is done!’ Night orders the strange serpent-like creature flying nearby. She picks Dagger’s fallen body up and remarks ‘Poor, silly girl - you were as good as dead from the first moment Mister Jip set an eye on you and you never knew it…’
A short time later, sunrise over Manhattan, inside Ship, the sprawling headquarters of X-Factor, Bobby “Iceman” Drake, answers the phone. ‘X-Factor headquarters… this is the mutant hotline - Iceman speaking. Mutants ‘r’ us. What’s your beef, lady?’ he asks. Night is on the other end of the phone, and exclaims ‘There’s one of those horrible evil mutants in my neighborhood - attacking people - maybe killing them!’ Sceptical, Bobby replies ‘Uh-huh. Right…okay, if you’ll give me your location, we’ll check it out’, before seeing on the computer monitor that police bands show some unusual activity in the area, and a distress call goes out.
Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast is nearby, while Bobby decides that if there is the kind of trouble that the lady indicated, it may be too much for him to handle, as well as deal with Hank ins his present condition.
Bobby contacts Jean “Marvel Girl” Grey and tells her that he is sorry to disturb her, but that there is some sort of mutant emergency back here. He adds that he realizes the importance of Jean’s present mission, but Jean tells Bobby not to worry, as Cyclops has gone on ahead, so she will leave him a note to tell him where she has gone. Bobby tells Jean to stand by for transport. He gets to his feet and tells Ship to get ready to rattle his bolts and teleport Jean up, then send them all downstairs. ‘Affirmative, Bobby Drake, although my bolts do not rattle’ Ship replies, suggesting that something has come loose in Bobby’s head. Hank tells Bobby that he doesn’t get it, and asks what Ship means. ‘Skip it, Hank’ Bobby replies, and soon, Hank, Jean and Bobby materialize downtown.
‘Wow! What a mess! This is even worse than I thought!’ Bobby thinks to himself, while Jean sees such devastation and wonders if she made the correct decision in not asking Cyclops and Angel to accompany them here.
‘Hiya, Jean! How come all these people are sleeping in the daytime?’ Hank wonders as they see civilians scattered across the streets. Suddenly, a voice calls out ‘X-Factor! Am I glad to see you!’, and Jean sees that it is Sgt Miller. The police officer asks the heroes to come quick, ‘She’s hurting folks! I think she’s crazy!’ he adds. Suddenly, shadow spears are shoved through the police officer, and he collapses. X-Factor race over to him, ‘He’s down - and out!’ Iceman exclaims as he hovers above his friends on an ice-sled. Jean tells everyone to be careful, as those looked like some kind of missiles of black light. ‘And whoever hurled them is just around the corner!’ Jean adds.
X-Factor rounds the corner. They see a car has crashed into a building wall. Night stands, arms folded, looking pleased with herself. More civilians lay unconscious on the ground, and Dagger appears, her costume all black now. ‘Not missiles, Red! But daggers of devastating dark-light!’ Dagger calls out, and as she confronts a very unimpressed X-Factor, she declares ‘At last! Some worthy foes on which to whet my dark malice….’

the Heart of the Matter
In deep space, the war between the Jorkens and the Kronts rages on. As of last Wednesday, it has now been going on for six millennia with both factions battling for possession of the moon Yordel. The moon itself is a barren and untouched hunk of rock that neither side really cares about, except for the fact the other side wants it. Both sides have made plans to step up their stratagems for acquiring the moon due to the anniversary of the conflict. Each side wants the total annihilation of the other… and of course to capture to moon. The odds of both factions coming up with the same plan are approximately 3,720 to 1… you’ll never guess what they came up with.
(Jones Beach, Long Island)
Guido Carosella aka Strong Guy is sunbathing on the beach alongside his friend, Lila Cheney. Lila asks Guido what he wants to do. He looks away and tells her that everything has been happening so fast recently… or at least that’s the way it seems to him. Next to him is a big sandcastle with sand sculptures of his X-Factor teammates around it. He tells Lila that, when he was with X-Factor, everything was rosy. Sure they were hated and feared by a world they sought to protect, but they were a team… a family. But then things started to go wrong. Guido crushes the sand sculptor of Jamie Madrox aka the Multiple Man as he tells Lila that Jamie had died.  He crushes Wolfsbane’s sculpture because she was heartbroken at Jamie’s death so left the team and joined Excalibur. Moving onto Havok, he crushes the sculpture and he tells her that Havok left the team to form his own Brotherhood of Mutants. Finally, he gets to the sculpture of himself and crushes that too, because he was in a coma for the past few months due to his heart attack. His heart wasn’t able to handle the stress of his ever-expanding, absorbing muscle and it finally spanked him good.
Standing up, he tells her that, when he came out of the coma, the world around him had changed… it was only a few months but it seemed like years had passed. X-Factor isn’t his X-Factor anymore and he doesn’t know if he fits in. Does he go back to being plain old Guido Carosella, rich guy and consort to the starlets? Or does he stay as Strong Guy and hook up with X-Factor or another mutant team?
Lila gets up and tells him that, as Lila Cheney the intergalactic rock star, she was hoping he would come back and work for her. She could really use his help and she would love to have him around. As she says this, a small flash of light appears behind her, accompanied by a ping sound. As Guido looks away and starts examining one of the sandcastlesm he tells Lila that she doesn’t need him, she is more than capable of taking care of herself. Plus she didn’t say please. Standing behind Guido with her hands on her hips, she starts to tell him off, not realizing a portal has opened up behind her.
Peering out of the portal are two green skinned, frog-like beings. They grab Lila and yank her through the portal without Guido noticing. As the portal closes with another ping sound, Guido turns around and assumes she used her own teleporting powers to disappear.
Meanwhile, in the throne room on the Jorken mother ship, the leader of the Jorkens and his guards await Lila’s arrival. The room has large computers around the walls and the floor is covered in lily pads. A pink flash of light appears before them accompanied by the ominous ping sound. Lila and her waist-high captors materialize before the king and he introduces himself as Tyno, leader of the Jorkens. Before he can finish his introductory speech, Lila cuts him off and demands to know what she is doing there.
Continuing with his speech, Tyno tells her the Jorkens has been battle for countless eons for what is rightfully theirs… the pristine moon of Yordel. He points to a computer screen and shows Lila footage of one of the many space battles for the moon. He continues and tells them they battle for the moon with their enemies the Kronts. With a smile on his face, he tells Lila that now she is on their side she can teleport a Dylaxian bomb into the palace on the Kront throne world and blow them to smithereens.
Lila looks at the Tyno and clarifies a few things. They kidnapped her because she is a teleporter. Tyno confirms this and says it’s so she can teleport the bomb to the Kronts. Lila continues and says they kidnapped her knowing she is able to teleport anywhere in the universe. A little confused Tyno agrees as Lila goes on and asks if they are really that dim to believe they can kidnap and teleporter. With that, Lila uses her powers and disappears with a puff of smoke. Stunned and confused, the Tyno asks an advisor where she went, at which point the advisor wonders aloud, in poor grammar, if she didn’t understand Tyno’s English.
With another puff of smoke, Lila appears back on the beach next to Guido and immediately starts yelling about the fact she was just kidnapped by aliens. Guido points out that she doesn’t need him as she can just pop right back out of it. As Guido starts to muse on his situation again, Lila grabs him by the arms and teleports him away, telling him he is going on her concert tour.
On their computer monitors, the Jorkens are watching the situation on the beach and realize that they cannot kidnap Lila. But they can kidnap her big boyfriend and blackmail her into teleporting the bomb for them.
(Sometime Later)
Strong Guy is fighting a large, bulky blue alien. Around the two is a crowd comprised up of many alien races but they all chant “Kree-tor.” The two muscle-bound beings punch each other with force until Kree-tor staggers back to the wall and holds his hand to his torso. As one of the spectators ask if it’s over, Strong Guy says he thought he was going to have to open up a can of industrial strength whoop-ass. With that, his opponent roars and runs forward towards him. Strong Guy dodges and sticks out his foot, sending the behemoth crashing forwards into a table.
With Kree-tor lying on the ground, Strong Guy raises his hands and announces that Kree-tor is hired and welcomes him to the Lila Cheney intergalactic rock and roll show. Strong Guy helps Kree-tor up and gets Tommy, a small balding man in a grey suit, to tell everybody that the open security position has been filled. As Strong Guy walks away with some of the other bodyguards, Tommy meets with Kree-tor… neither group noticing a familiar pink flash and pinging sound. A portal opens and two Jorkens look out of it. They look around and, after a little confusion, grab Kree-tor, mistaking him for Strong Guy. Not noticing the kidnapping, Tommy turns around to see where Kree-tor has gone and gets worried when he can’t see him.
At that moment, Lila is on stage doing a sound check. She stops singing her song as she keeps hearing a pinging sound. Rebo, who is in the sound booth, says he isn’t picking up anything that side and it must be coming from the stage. Suddenly another ping sound is heard and a portal opens next to Lila. Inside the portal is a computer monitor with Tyno on it. He greets Lila and tells her that he has abducted the one she care for the most… the one she calls Strong One. Realizing that he has kidnapped Strong Guy, Lila starts to get angry at Tyno. But he cuts her off and tells her that if she wants to see Guido alive she will do the Jorken’s bidding. The Jorken’s portal closes with a ping and Lila immediately teleports away as well.
On the Jorken’s throne ship, one of the guards asks Tyno if they really have Strong Guy. He tells him that they do and that he is down in the detention bay. In the detention bay, Kree-tor is being held hostage by two of the Jorken guards, who have guns pointed at him. A pinging sound is heard and a yellow portal opens up behind Kree-tor. A huge brown hand reaches through, grabs Kree-tor and pulls him through the portal. The portal closes and the two guards realize that they are going to be in trouble.
Meanwhile, Guido is backstage at the concert helping the crew set up. He is holding up a huge speaker as other crew members use ropes to steady it. Tommy runs towards Guido, yelling at him and trying to explain what happened. Guido tells Tommy to slow down and eventually Tommy explains that Kree-tor was just there one minute and gone the next… with a ping. Realizing what the ping meant, Guido drops the speaker, which sends the other crew members flying, and he rushes away to check on Lila.
Guido runs into Rebo, a tiny blue alien wearing sunglasses and a beret. He tells Rebo that he has to find Lila but Rebo tells her she has gone. He explains that some frog told her that they have her boyfriend, so she teleported off to the rescue. Alarmed, Guido runs off as Rebo tells Tommy that the show starts in twenty minutes.
In-between splutters, Tyno orders his guards to release the prisoner. Lila has lifted the small leader of the Jorken’s off the floor by his throat. She tells him that she is sick and tired off all the nonsense and she has to do a gig in twenty minutes so she has no time for his stupid games. She demands that he hand over Strong Guy and then threatens that, if she ever sees him again, then she will teleport him to the farthest reaches of space.
Just then, one of the guards enters and tells them they have a problem… the big guy has been kidnapped by the Kronts. Exasperated, Lila tells them that they are pathetic as they can’t even get a kidnapping right. She tells Tyno to give her one of their ships… she is going to the Kront home world.
Elsewhere, Strong Guy is zipping through space is a small saucer-shaped spaceship towards the Jorken home world. He worries about getting to Lila on time but has figured out what is going on. Lila went off to rescue him little realizing that it was Kree-tor. As he nears the Jorken, something flashes past him and he realizes that it was Lila in another spaceship. He turns his ship around and goes after Lila to let her know he is alright.
In the Jorken throne room, Tyno asks one of his guards if they managed to plant the homing device in the spaceship before Lila took it. The guard confirms they did and pleased Tyno tells his guards that the plan is to send the Dylaxian bomb to the Kront world using the homing device on Lila’s ship.
As Lila gets near the Kront world, she enters a battlefield full of warring Kront and Jorken spaceships. As lasers fire and explosions occur all around her, she dodges them all and continues on… determined not to miss the final concert of her tour, which kicks off in fifteen minutes. As Lila makes it through the battlefield and gets to the Kront world, Guido is hot on her trail and admires her from afar. He gets his ship close to hers and yells for her but she can’t hear him, heading towards the Kront palace instead. Guido suddenly realizes she is on a crash course for the place and headed there at great speed. He starts to get worried until he watches her teleport out of the cockpit and lets the ship crash into the palace. As he follows the ship, he realizes he too is coming in too fast and hasn’t got time to pull up. He braces himself as his ship slams into the ground with a loud smash which sends debris flying up in the air.
Guido emerges from the debris a few moments later in agony due to him absorbing the physical damage from the crash. He is desperate for a way to let out the energy he has absorbed as his muscles bulge and cause him great pain. Just then, a group of Kront soldiers finds the crash-site and Guido and order him to halt. The Kront soldiers are twice the size of Guido but that doesn’t stop him from charging at them and taking them on. As fists and bodies fly around in a swirl of dust, Lila suddenly teleports in and distracts Guido. One of the Kront soldiers takes the opportunity and electrocutes the both of them.
As Lila regains consciousness she finds herself a prisoner of the Kronts. They have her, Guido and Kree-tor held in position high off the ground on an energy wall. Their hands and feet encased in energy globes. Guido welcomes Lila and introduces her to Kree-tor and explains their situation. Lila asks him what he is doing there, as she thought he was already a hostage. Guido explains how the Jorken’s kidnapped Kree-tor by accident and how he went after Lila when she mistakenly went after Kree-tor. He tells her that he has also hired Kree-tor and she welcomes him to the team.
Lila asks what the time is, as she has a show in a few minutes. Kree-tor explains that the Kronts have no concept of time, so they took her watch as they thought it was a talisman of great power. A giant, brown-skinned alien wearing a crown enters the room and announces himself as Ulek, king of the Kronts. Ulek explains that he knows who Lila is and about her powers. He tells her she is going to aid them with their plan to destroy the Jorken home world or else he will dip her into the vat of pustelic acid he is holding. He tells her that he friend will be dipped in first and then finally her. He gets up close to her and lets her know that he also has her watch, which he is wearing on his wrist.
Lilsa lets out a little giggle and tells Ulek that she is not going to be pushed around by some little froggy guys or some big guy with a vat of acid. This angers Ulek and he starts the dipping. He advances on Guido first but Guido asks him for the time. Ulek obliges and looks at the watch on his wrist and in doing so pours the vat of acid all over himself. He screams as the acids burns him away until there is nothing left but a few body parts in a pool on the floor. Guido uses his strength and breaks the energy globes holding him in place. He then unplugs the energy wall, releasing the other two. As Lila walks over to the puddle of Ulek and picks up her watch, Guido tells her they might just make it to their show. Before they go, however, there is one thing they must do… With that, they disappear in a puff of smoke.
Moments later, they are sifting through the rubble of Lila’s crashed spaceship and Guido pulls out the homing device.
On the Jorken ship, Tyno orders his soldiers to lock onto the homing signal and fire all the weapons at once. Elsewhere, on a Kront ship, a soldier tells his men that Lila and her friends are stealing the ship they left for them. Once it returns to the Jorken world, then they will lock onto that ships homing device.
As the Kront ship flies away, Guido finds the homing device hidden beneath one of the seats.
The two leaders of the warring races ready their weapons and then give the order to fire. A flurry of missiles fly from both worlds towards their destinations… the Kronts’s towards the Jorken home world and the Jorken’s towards the Kront home world. But the best laid plans of both worlds go wrong as all the missiles veer off course and head toward Yordel, the very moon both races have been fighting over. As the missiles hit the target, the moon is completely annihilated by the resulting explosion to the horror of both factions.
In the Jorken throne world, Tyno realizes he has done this and the sole meaning of existence for generations of Jorken is now gone. On the Kront ship, the same realization is reached and both sides wonder that they will do now. On their ship, Guido tells Lila and Kree-tor that he figured he would take away the whole reason the two races were fighting.
About five minutes later, they are back at the concert. Guido is getting on with organizing the equipment backstage but Lila is trying to talk to him. She tells him that it’s the last concert of her tour and afterwards she will be headed to the other side of the universe. After trying to find the right words, she eventually says she doesn’t want him to go back to X-Factor because of his heart. Guido tells her to relax and tries to joke with her but she starts crying and tells him to think of his heart as it can’t take the stress. She tells him that she loves her life of travelling around the universe but it would be the same if he weren’t in it. She then tells him she loves him and she doesn’t know what she would do without him.
Guido tries to reassure her and tells her that Forge fixed his heart and now it’s better than ever. But it’s not about how his heart is… it’s more about where his heart is. He explains that X-Factor has changed so much recently and although Xavier’s dream still means much to him his heart isn’t in it anymore. It’s now about jumping all over the cosmos with his best pal. Delighted by his response, Lila hugs him but he reminds her that she has a show to do.
A few minutes later, as Lila plays on stage, Guido stands in the back and watches her. He thinks how he has never been happier and how star hopping with her will be nice and relaxing. Just at that moment, though, Lila stops singing and looks to the sky as an armada of Kront and Jorken ships flies overhead. A portal suddenly appears before her with a monitor in it. On the monitor, both Tyno and the new Kront leader appear. Tyno tells her that the two races are united as they don’t have a moon to fight over anymore. The Kront leader explains that their new goal is the total annihilation of Lila Cheney and Guido for the destruction of their moon. The ships overhead open fire which causes Lila and Strong Guy to run towards their nearby spaceship. Lila protests her innocence but Guido tells her to run and muses how low stress this life will be.

Revolution part two
(S.H.I.E.L.D. Criminology Laboratory - now)
Tony Stark, wearing his Iron Man armor, is with a doctor who has just autopsied the skeletal remains of what is believed to be Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner. The doctor removes his glasses and explains that it was a difficult analysis. The flesh has been completely seared off his body and they have no dental records for Namor. However, DNA is a different story. They breached the skeleton and drew marrow. It was a positive match to ten of the DNA markers they have on file for Namor. It’s conclusive, he adds, these are Namor’s remains. “My God...” exclaims Stark, shocked. “Who could have done this?”
(six days ago)
A large underwater S.H.I.E.L.D. fleet moves through the water. Iron Man is on board one of the ships, and he receives an incoming call from Prince Namor, who tells him that he sees that the general has sent his favorite lapdog. Stark replies that it’s not the reaction he was hoping for, considering Namor’s current position. Namor warns him that his Atlantean fleet is much more powerful than Stark’s. They knew they were approaching hours ago, and his ships exist because he chose not to destroy them. Stark tells him it’s the first wise decision he’s made in a while. His action will dictate what happens next. Is it really his desire to go to war with the surface?
Namor explains that there’s more going on here than he knows. He can bring the perpetrators of this terrorist attack to justice, but he must be allowed to reach the surface. Stark warns him that he can’t do that. There are those who believe that he was directly responsible for the carnage in Kansas. They can’t let the most powerful Atlantean go free. “Then you are the fool,” snaps Namor. He turns his back to the camera and adds that Captain America’s death doesn’t appear to have quenched Stark’s thirst for war. Stark tells him they are past the point of insults. He has one hour, and he should use that time wisely.
Signing off, Namor tells his old friend, Argos, that he needs his help. Argos replies that the guard have informed him of the imminent attack. It will be an honor to fight by his side once again. Namor says that they are not to engage S.H.I.E.L.D., at least not just yet. Argos doesn’t really understand, but Namor thinks that this is a unique case. A coup is taking place and, by attacking, he plays directly into their trap. When Argos asks what the alternatives are, Namor tells him that he must travel to the surface world and rectify this situation himself. In his absence, he needs Argos to keep his forces in check. Argos asks what he should do if they attack in Namor’s absence. He replies that if Stark attacks first, then he can annihilate them.
Soon, Namor is in the water and heading straight for the S.H.I.E.L.D. armada. Iron Man orders his people not to engage until he gives the order. He tells them to go to code red. He then quickly exits the ship - his armor allowing him to travel quickly underwater. He places himself before Namor and warns him that it doesn’t have to be this way. Namor continues at high speed, so Stark fires a shot at him from a hand-held weapon, which does little to slow his path. Namor says that no weapon of his has ever stopped him before, and that’s not going to change any time soon.
Namor then ploughs into Iron Man; grabbing him around the waist and pushing him through the water with ease. Stark drops the weapon and is thrust into the side of one of his ships. He retaliates with a well-aimed punch, but Namor recovers quickly. He asks Stark if he really believes that he ordered the attack. Has he ever been one to lurk in the shadows? Stark uses the thrusters in his boots to propel himself through the water. He reminds Namor that he inserted sleeper cells and is responsible for his people.
Namor wisely takes hold of one of the smaller vessels and hurls it towards another. Iron Man intercepts it just in time, but turns to see that Namor has made his escape to the surface. “Damn it!” he exclaims.
(Seattle, Washington)
An underground workman calls on the radio and asks if his partner, Marv, is there. Marv says that he is, and informs his colleague that the system shows the water levels are abnormally high. It must be a leak, he thinks. His colleague heads deeper underground and shines his torch into the darkness. As he casts the beam across the water, he sees the faint images of faces underneath the surface. “What the…” he gasps. Three Atlanteans then emerge and their leader tells him that he can’t be allowed to see what he’s doing down there. He grabs the man and shows him the blades that are mounted on his wrist. He thanks the man for the warning, and promises that his death will not be meaningless.
(meanwhile)
Tony Stark, in his capacity as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is speaking via video link with an army general. The general is enquiring as to why things aren’t been done with the kind of military precision he is used to. Stark assures him that there aren’t going to be any more mistakes. He thought he could reason with Namor, but he was wrong. He’ll track him down himself. The general tells him no. He is needed with the underwater force. They have other options for finding Namor, and Atlantis is more than one individual. He signs off, adding that he’ll be in touch. Stark leans on a console and says that sometimes he wonders why he took this job.
(Bentonville, Kansas)
It’s a full moon over Bentonville and there’s not a cloud in the sky. Soldiers guard their camp, oblivious to Prince Namor’s appearance as he gently sets foot on the ground. He notes that the ground is still warm from the blast two days ago. He picks up a child’s Teddy Bear; still able to smell the carnage. Whoever it was who was responsible, they will pay for it with their lives. As he looks around, he discovers a small amulet, which looks to be of Atlantean origin.
As he ponders, two soldiers appear behind him and warn him not to move as he is in a restricted area. Namor turns, and they are surprised to see that it is the infamous Sub-Mariner. He informs them that their weapons will have no effect on him, and promises that they will live to regret it if they shoot. The soldiers shoot regardless, and the bullets bounce harmlessly off Namor’s skin. He grits his teeth, and fixes them with a piercing gaze. “You humans… when will you ever learn?”
(elsewhere)
Norman Osborn leads the general into a darkened room and tells Venom that his services have been requested. He informs him that Namor has escaped S.H.I.E.L.D. containment forces, and they believe that his destination is most likely the States, attempting to rendezvous with one of his sleeper cells. They need him to track Namor down and give him authorization to eliminate Namor with extreme prejudice. Venom grins, bearing his unsavory teeth and elongated tongue. “I’m not normally a huge fan of seafood… but in this case, I’ll make an exception.”
(meanwhile)
Arath exclaims that he is tired of waiting around. The 13th cell’s leader, Kamar, asks him for patience, but Arath hates the place. His boss says they have a plan and they’re sticking to it. Arath states that Namor could find them at any moment. Any delay could be their undoing. Kamar places a reassuring hand on his shoulder and replies that the next attack is about more than the body count. Its psychological impact will be equally as devastating. Arath clenches his fist in anger, and Kamar says he works hard too to contain his frustration. However, this attack must coincide with actions in Atlantis. As for Namor, he looks forward to the moment they come face to face with the traitor king. When the time comes, he will be the first to spit on his grave.
Namor, meanwhile, flies across country to Westchester and lands at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. It’s now daylight. He has no doubt this 13th Cell will strike again. The first attack pushed them to the brink. A second will send them into the abyss from which there will be no return. In order to find them, he must turn to one of his oldest allies. He only hopes that Charles Xavier isn’t fighting some other battle on the other end of the universe.
As he approaches the mansion, Wolverine appears and snikts his claws. “Not every day a terrorist shows up at your front door,” he remarks.

Revolution part three
(S.H.I.E.L.D. Command Ship, now)
The general asks Tony Stark to tell him if he isn’t correct in what he understands. The city of Atlantis has been destroyed by a massive explosion that Iron Man had nothing to do with. Only one corpse was found at the scene which appears to be Namor’s and every other Atlantean is missing in action. To top it off, Nitro, the terrorist responsible for the carnage at Stamford, is also missing. Stark replies that he’s correct, but they’re doing everything they can to figure this one out. The general feels that ‘everything’ may not be enough. He doesn’t know what worries him more: a sovereign Atlantis with Namor on the throne, or a dead Namor and a half-million Atlanteans missing. He warns Stark that time isn’t on their side.
(five days ago, the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning)
Namor has made his way to Westchester. Wolverine warns Namor that this is the last place he should be. Namor replies that he’s come as an ally. Logan can’t seriously believe that he was responsible for the attack in Kansas? Logan says it doesn’t matter what he believes. Namor is public enemy number one. Sentinels are watching their every move and there are kids crawling all over the place. Did he think about the danger to them? Namor replies that Xavier’s students can handle themselves just fine. Besides, he won’t be long. Wolverine tells him he doesn’t get it. Imagine Bin Laden comes knocking on his door. Doesn’t he think that the feds would be swarming all over this mansion in a second? He can’t let Namor turn the school into collateral damage.
Namor doesn’t have time for this, but Logan swiftly puts his claws right to Namor’s head and reiterates that he has to leave… now! “You first,” replies Namor, before punching Wolverine up over the school, through the chimney and into the roof tiles. Logan groans as Namor flies up to speak to him again. He assures Logan that they’re on the same side. He has a job for him. All he asks is that he sheathes his claws and listens. Logan tells him that he has a funny way of asking for help but, he adds as he reaches for Namor’s hand, if he seriously needs a hand, he has it. He then plunges three of his claws into Namor’s chest, causing him to fall from the roof and into the garden.
Namor is rightly angry and, when Logan drops to the ground, he smashes him against the wall. He then makes for the pool to replenish his strength. Thinking quickly, Wolverine leaps for a control panel and an energy field covers the pool. He asks Namor to simmer down, but Namor ducks underwater and rams the pool wall at high speed, smashing the side of it. He grabs Wolverine and gets him airborne, before hurling him at high velocity back into the ground.
Stubborn to the end, Wolverine reckons he’s just crushed every organ he’s got, but his healing factor works quickly, and he promises to kick Namor’s butt. Namor asks if he is forgetting that, only moments ago, he plunged his claws into his body in a clumsy attempt to kill him. Before any further blows can be thrown, Professor Charles Xavier appears and says hello to the Sub-Mariner. Xavier trusts that the King of Atlantis is there for more than a scenic tour of the grounds, and suggests they head inside. Logan can join them when they’re ready.
Inside the mansion, Charles admits that Namor is the last person he expected to see there. Namor asks if this is the time that Charles pokes around his head to see if he’s guilty as charged, but Charles knows that he isn’t a mass murderer. Namor is pleased to hear that at least one person on the surface has managed to retain their sanity. “That doesn’t mean there isn’t blood on your hands,” replies Charles. Namor knows that. Why does Charles think he risked leaving his citizens surrounded by a fleet of trigger-happy S.H.I.E.L.D. ships to visit him?
Charles asks why he is there. Namor informs him that he believes that a rogue Atlantean sleeper cell is responsible for the attack, but they’re still at large and he doesn’t know who, or where, they are. He doesn’t have much time, either. Charles asks Namor to follow him, and he leads him towards Cerebra. Charles thinks that the machine will be of use to them, as he considers Atlanteans to have common origins with the human race, and they could be considered the first mutants.
Namor would like to think that any link they have to those on the surface has long been erased. Charles says he can think that way if he pleases, but you can never erase that which you are. His DNA tells a different story, no matter what he chooses to acknowledge. He seats himself at the machine and, with a slight psychic adjustment, he believes he will be able to find the whereabouts of any Atlanteans on the continent.
Charles then creates a map of the United States of America, and in several states including California, Oregon, Minnesota, Maine and Montana, lights indicate the presence of Atlanteans. Charles asks how this can be. He was under the impression that he had recalled all his cells from American soil. Namor replies that he had to do what he thought necessary. This attack wasn’t supposed to happen. He adds that twelve of the cells are under his control. This 13th Cell was placed on the continent without his knowledge. They are the guilty ones.
Namor points to the state of Washington and informs Charles that he never placed a cell there. It must be the culprits. He found an artifact at the site of the attack in Kansas. He asks Charles if he can use it to further pinpoint their location. Charles becomes agitated and tells Namor that he believe that he was trying to right a situation not of his doing, but to place agents on U.S. soil and then lie about their removal is unconscionable. If cracks in his plans allowed the cell to slip away and attack innocents, then he is to blame. No one is going to help him. He orders Namor to leave right away.
Namor turns and heads for the door, asking Charles how he dare judge him. He will bring his affairs to a conclusion with or without his assistance. Heaven help anyone who gets in his way. Logan is standing outside. “Leaving so soon, bub?” he remarks. Namor ignores him, but says that mutants like to think that their kind is different from the humans, but they’re all the same to him.
As Namor heads into the fresh air, he is targeted by sensors aboard one of the massive Sentinels guarding the institute. The pilot of Sentinel 4 informs his superiors that Namor is leaving and asks for permission to intercept. Permission is granted. Sentinel 4 orders Namor, by order of the O*N*E on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., to stand down immediately. Namor is ordered to get on the ground, but he hasn’t the time or patience for this. He takes to the air immediately and evades a blast from the Sentinel’s palm before ripping off its arm. He knows they can’t be cheap, and suggests they go back to the old models, as he smashes the arm against a second Sentinel before toppling the first. He flies away, leaving the Sentinels in the dust.
(Seattle, Washington)
Three members of the rogue 13th Cell, Krakos, Kamar and Arath, have disguised themselves as garbage disposal workers. Instead of collecting litter, they empty the truck’s contents at the side of the street. When they have enough room for their payload, they drive off. They figure that once they install the final payload their extractor will be complete. Krakos asks where they will go to watch their moment of glory. Kamar has a special place in mind.
Soon, they are high up in the Seattle Space Needle, taking the elevator to the observation deck. Kamar notes that humans tend to destroy all the nature around them, and with each new monstrosity they create in its place, they convince themselves that they are much more invulnerable. When their extractor engages, they will be reminded just how vulnerable they are, and Namor’s downfall will be all but assured.
(S.H.I.E.L.D. command ship on the perimeter of Atlantis)
Maria Hill is nervous. It’s awfully quiet. Tony Stark asks if she’s more nervous than ten thousand Atlantean warriors appearing from the city to fight for the death. Maria says that at least then they would know their intentions. Stark reminds her that their instructions were to contain Atlantis and that’s what they’re doing. Maria doesn’t think it adds up: Namor runs away from Atlantis leaving the city without its leader; its fate hanging in the balance. And then that is followed by… nothing. Stark tells her that Namor is no coward. He wasn’t running away from anything. He saw a look in his eyes that showed he was a man on a mission. His biggest fear is that he has lost control of Atlantis and that his leadership is in peril. Atlantis under new ownership? Now that is a frightening prospect. He departs, asking Maria to ensure that their men stay vigilant. He has a feeling something is happening in there.
(meanwhile, in Atlantis)
Two groups of warriors are assembled. One group serves Kamar, whilst the other is loyal to Prince Namor. Zoran leads Kamar’s men. He informs his brothers that their time is at hand. Soon, they shall take control of Atlantis and annihilate the surface dwellers who dare surround their city. He has just received word that Kamar has reached Seattle and a second attack on the surface world is imminent. As Kamar strikes America, they shall clean their own house. Tonight, they will destroy those traitors in the Atlantean military who still crawl at Namor’s feet. Tonight, he concludes, the ocean’s waters will run red, beginning with the blood of Namor’s pet… Argos.
Argos, meanwhile, speaks to his own men - loyal followers of Namor. He tells them that they must be prepared. Atlantis is beset on all sides. Not only are there barbarians at their gate, but there are threats from within their kingdom. Namor has gone to the surface to destroy those who have stained Atlantis’ reputation with their treacherous actions. He has sworn to defend their city in Namor’s absence, and he counts on them to stand by his side. Never in Atlantean history has a king been crowned through a coup, and it will not happen on his watch. He asks them to be vigilant for the traitors who would challenge them. He will save a special place on his trident for their heads.
(United States)
As he flies across a wooded area, soldiers below allow Venom to fire a weapon at Namor which chokes him. He stops in his tracks before being brought to the ground by Venom, who is carrying a really big gun. He can’t believe the gun actually works. Namor crashes to the earth. Venom admits that he wasn’t crazy about the whole Thunderbolts arrangement when it all began, but it ain’t half bad. It’s amazing, for instance, the toys they allow him to play with. He fires the gun at Namor’s face and he finds it difficult to breathe. Venom explains that it sends a bunch of nanotech spores into his lungs and bloodstream to suck every last bit of oxygen from his body.
With Namor helpless, Venom envelops Namor in his symbiotic body and holds him upside down. He explains that he is allowed to do anything he wants, and he’s always hated the little wings on Namor’s feet. He rips them off, and Namor silently screams.

Land of the Rising Sun
His name was Shiro Yoshida. He was the super-hero known as… Sunfire! Some say he was Japan’s greatest hero of them all. He was. At least, when he was still alive, that is. Like all men of great power, Shiro was misunderstood. Maybe more so, for his power did not come from the wielding of politics, or from his place in the economic hierarchy of the Japanese government, or from an age of old lineage forged from centuries of family honor. No, Shiro’s power came from the very sun itself. His was the power from the raging heart of the atom. Sunfire also was a mutant. And, in a way, the people of Japan never forgave him for that fact.
A young boy, Hiro Takachicho, prays in a temple, which was built in honor of Shiro. His bodyguard, Baymax, approaches him. Baymax informs his master that it’s time to go. Hiro admits that Baymax is the best kind of friend anyone could ever have, but he just wants one more moment to say good-bye.
While doing that, Hiro reminds himself how amazing it actually is that a humble child like himself would ever be in a position to meet Sunfire, his role model, let alone to be given the sacred honor of eulogizing him. Though, Hiro is aware that in many ways, he has been preparing for this moment almost since he was born. You can even see it in his bedroom, which is more like a monument to his idol, as lots of posters and other Sunfire memorabilia are installed there.
Today, Hiro recalls that’s the way how his room used to look. Before his thirteen year old life changed. For that matter, before the entire world – as we pretended it to be – changed forever.
earlier, 7:00 AM…
Hiro’s alarm clock goes off, but he is still sleepy. Baymax takes the sheets from his bed, demanding that Hiro gets ready to go to school. Hiro doesn’t want to, reminding Baymax that he demands that every day. Baymax jokes that’s not true: he only says it Monday through Friday mornings. But, when he does say it, he means it. Hiro refuses to budge, but Baymax picks him up and literally gives him a very cold shower.
Hiro admits that it’s not like he doesn’t like to go to school. After all, what’s not to like? It’s just that… well… sometimes, he feels a little pressure. Really. Let every adult you know tell you you’re a genius and see how you feel like it.
later, at the school entrance…
Baymax drops Hiro off and tells him to perform well. Hiro promises to do that, and tells Baymax to work on his syntax. One of his classmates, Sam, notices that Hiro has a limo and asks if it’s really a new one. Hiro jokes that it is, as he received it as a gift from Sam’s mother. Sam smiles that his mom will apparently get some competition, by the looks of it. Hiro doesn’t understand, so Sam tells him to look behind him. He does, and Hiro notices a beautiful, blond-haired girl looking at him. He immediately likes her. But Hiro doesn’t stop walking and bumps into the door. The others laugh at him, and push him into the class.
Looking back now, Hiro admits he should have realized something was going on. The girl was looking at him, and smiling. But that was the last thing he saw before he was swept away by a sea of his peers on their way to class. Science class, actually. Where he was delivering his oral report on Sunfire – what else?
With a very detailed schedule he made himself, Hiro explains to his teacher and class that, in summation, he thinks it should be clear to anyone that, based on the holistic evidence using the Langkowski scale of bio-atomic actualization, even accommodating for a slight curvature of the Pym spectrum’s compensatory effects on the human body, he believes that Sunfire could not be held responsible for the damage that resulted from recent flare-ups of his atomic flame, any more than a tornado or a monsoon can be held accountable for the tragedy left in their respective wakes. He trusts that everyone can agree that, in many ways, Sunfire is, in essence, a force of nature. Hiro asks if anyone has any questions.
Like always, there never are any. However, the class claps its hands triumphantly for his beautiful presentation. The teacher is hesitant about what to say. Hiro asks if it was enlightening. She confirms that. She also mentions that the superintendent would like to see him in her office. He agrees to go, hoping that there won’t be a problem with the home security system he wired for her house. The teacher denies it, mentioning that hers still works fine and thanks him again for installing it.
Today, Hiro remembers that his teacher always said she found his presentations enlightening when she didn’t knew what he was talking about. It didn’t take him long to get to superintendent Roshi’s office. He knows the way. He explains that another of the disadvantages of being the smartest kid in school is that everyone is always looking for favors.
Hiro enters the office, but the door gets immediately shut behind him! A man explains that the superintendent won’t be joining them today. Still, he calms Hiro down, promising he doesn’t have to be afraid of him. Hiro knows he doesn’t have to, because he already pressed his wristwatch to summon up Baymax’s aid. Hiro warns the mysterious man that he’s in deep trouble if he doesn’t tell him right away what he did to Roshi.
The man is impressed to see that Hiro has some form of courage. Hiro is pleased that the man is pleased. But, that still didn’t answer his question. The man gives his word that Roshi is safe. He asks Hiro if he recognizes him. Hiro does. He jokes that he’s seeing a man who’s going to get his butt kicked if he doesn’t tell him this instant what he wants to hear.
The man is impressed that Hiro is not easily dissuaded. They are all excellent attributes. He warns Hiro to stand ready, and the man transforms into… the Silver Samurai!
Today, Hiro realizes that he was seeing an energy backlash while the Samurai was transforming. He remembers how amazed he was when standing eye to eye in another great, Japanese hero.
Hiro recognizes the Samurai, remembering that he is perhaps the second most famous citizen in all of Japan, second only to Sunfire. The Samurai jokes that, actually, some might say that, with Sunfire out of the country, he is Japan’s premier citizen. Hiro isn’t one of those “some.” The Samurai doesn’t care about that, and instead cuts to the chase. He reveals that, on behalf of the Japanese emperor, he is extending a very sacred and honored invitation to Hiro. Baymax enters, asking Hiro if there is a problem. Hiro promises to let Baymax know that in a moment as the Samurai was about to extend some kind of offer.
The Samurai continues. He believes that a boy of Hiro’s alleged brilliance has no doubt taken note that through there are relatively few so-called super-beings on this planet, like the Fantastic Four or the Avengers for example, that most of them are located in the United States. Also, the former Soviets, and in the Samurai’s eyes unbelievable enough, even the Canadians play host to their own state sanctioned super heroes, in the form of the Soviet Super Soldiers and Alpha Flight.
Hiro refuses to miss History class for this. The Samurai asks him to be patient. He further explains that Japan, however, only has him as its humble servant. Until now. Hiro tells the Samurai has a real mental block on the Sunfire thing, but since he’s not in the country he’ll let it slide. He wants to know what the Samurai’s point is. The Samurai is getting irritated by Hiro’s irreverence. But be that as it may, the Japanese government’s scientists have identified Hiro as a potential operative in service of its people.
Baymax explains he can’t allow his master to be placed in a situation where he might be in jeopardy. Hiro explains to the Samurai that he isn’t a mutant, but just a really smart kid. Smart enough to know that, if the government wanted him, they would have talked to his mother first and she’d be having this conversation with him instead. Shamefully, the Samurai admits they did talked to Hiro’s mother, but she said “no.” That’s all Hiro had to hear, and mentions he’ll be going back to class. The Samurai asks Hiro to think about the offer, as both Japan and Big Hero Six need him. Hiro doesn’t like the group name, but the Samurai smirks he dislikes Baymax’ name, but he lets that slide.
Looking back at that first meeting today, Hiro admits he always thought the Silver Samurai would be taller. Later at his house (the biggest one on the block) he asked his mom flat out. Talking honestly has always been a big thing in Hiro’s family, even before his father died.
Hiro’s mom tells her son that, even if Emperor himself might have asked for permission for Hiro to join his team, her answer would have been the same. She knows that Hiro is a very special young man, and both she and his father are proud of him. She reveals that, before he died, both she and Hiro’s dad spoke of the type of offer that would be made to him. They realize that the life these people are proposing is of the highest honor, as the world has witnessed the dangers of Onslaught, Galactus and the Mandarin. And though she knows the day will come that Hiro will indeed be called on to serve the greater good, for now she mentions that it was Hiro’s dad’s heart-found wish that he enjoys a normal youth. Hiro hugs his mom.
Today, Hiro still doesn’t know what he could have said on that moment. Except for maybe, “I have the best mom in the world.” He believes that mothers are the greatest accomplishment of creation. Later, as it was, Hiro wasn’t asleep for more than ten minutes when he heard a beeping sound, which could only mean one thing!
Hiro summons Baymax, who’s there for his master, as always. He asks why Hiro is staring at his Sunfire poster, especially this late when he should be sleeping. Hiro explains that the alarm Baymax is hearing is a bio-atomic parcel detector he created last week. With all due respect to Hiro’s massive intellect, Baymax believes the scientific community at large insists that a B-APD is a theoretical impossibility at best. He thinks it’s technologically impossible to construct a device capable of tracking down what is essentially a human-sized nuclear reactor.
Hiro defends it isn’t “impossible.” He even wonders who bothered to invent such a word. He presses a button, and reveals a map of Japan. He has put signals on it, which have Hiro happily declare that… Sunfire… is back! Today, Hiro had no idea that, several blocks away, a meeting was taking place in a building without an address.
The Samurai’s boss doesn’t accept the current status of things. The Samurai understands that and tries to explain, but his boss doesn’t want to hear about it. Mr. Oshima explains that the very fate of Japan’s homeland rests with the success of Operation: Big Hero Six, and believes that the desires of a thirteen year-old boy and his mother are irrelevant. He doesn’t want to remind the Samurai that there was more than one member of the consortium who was ill at ease with the Samurai’s appointment as field commander of Big Hero Six. He reminds the Samurai that his former ties with the Yakuza and his less than stellar performance against the threat of Red Ronin were among the things Oshima had to argue against when he insisted the Giri so that the Samurai could assume the mantle of leadership. He simply doesn’t want to end up embarrassed.
The Samurai is aware of that, and promises he’ll make Japan proud of Big Hero Six, and the operatives behind it. Oshima hopes so, and leaves. Tomago is upset, shouting that she never liked Oshima. Lemon jokes that, in the entire two months since she has known Tomago, she hasn’t known her to like anyone or anything. Tomago doesn’t want to apologize for having standards. She warns Lemon to back off, shouting that this is between her and Mr. Big Hero Six himself.
She also doesn’t understand what’s up with the Samurai, because if he’ll bow any lower he’s going to end up with his nose stuck in the carpet. The Samurai doesn’t understand why, but he’s beginning to suspect that team leader was not as a revered position he imagined it would be.
Today, Hiro admits that he wasn’t thinking about those guys at that particular moment, as all of his attention was directed right in front of him: an abandoned, ancient monastery in the Quonon province.
Hiro and Baymax enter the monastery. Baymax asks his master if he’s certain this is the place. Hiro tells Baymax that he would think, of all people, Baymax would not judge the merit of something strictly of appearance. Baymax defends that he was simply referring to the fact that this temple – this entire neighborhood – was severely ravaged as a result of recent earthquakes. It doesn’t strike him as the type of place where they would find that which Hiro’s experimental construct indicates. He defends that his statement was purely practical, and not aesthetic.
Hiro doesn’t want to talk anymore, and instead scan the place. Baymax admits he has some bad news on that matter: his internal scans aren’t picking up anything. Hiro is still confident that Sunfire is there, and tells Baymax he only needs to have a little faith. Suddenly, a voice demands that Hiro and Baymax don’t take another step. Hiro doesn’t understand.
Today, Hiro admits that he saw the most amazing thing of his life on that very moment. For years, he had dreamed of meeting the man he admired most, and there he was, only twenty feet away. But even at first glance, even though Hiro never met the guy before, he sensed that something was terribly wrong. He remembers he kind of rambled.
Hiro is proud that his machine worked. He explains that Sunfire’s bio-signature is unique, making his bio-atomic cellular fluctuations would register on a modified Langkowski wave scale. That’s how he knew he could locate Sunfire if he would ever come back to Japan.
Almost without breath, Sunfire asks Hiro what he would have done if he would only come back, wishing not to be found. Hiro never thought about that. He asks Shiro why he wouldn’t want to be found, as he is Japan’s greatest hero and they need him. Shamefully, Shiro admits that he isn’t feeling well. Baymax thinks they should listen to Sunfire, perhaps even move away from this place. Hiro refuses, wanting to help Shiro if he’s sick. Shiro is afraid that isn’t possible, and reveals the Zero Fluid on half his body, making it partly black.
Today, it still hurts to Hiro to think of Sunfire that way. It was almost like Shiro’s body was being charred from within.
Sunfire is confident that nobody can help him. He admits that he’s dying. He explains that, since the moment his mutant power first manifested itself, when he was forced to live within the cold and barren Tomika Caverns for weeks, until he could expert control over his atomic flames, he knew that this day would come. He knew that his body would someday betray him.
Hiro freaks out, refusing to accept that his hero is dying. Baymax tries to calm his master down, but without much success. Hiro refuses to lose Sunfire, since he already lost his father. Sunfire warns the boy to stay back, but on that moment, his flame powers go out of control again and he releases a blast. He tries to apologize for it, but Baymax doesn’t want to listen to it and instead fight. Hiro orders him not to, but Baymax doesn’t think so. He reminds Hiro that he, better than anyone else that, first and foremost, was designed to both serve and protect him. And, while one of his forms is more conducive to attending Hiro’s daily needs, Baymax thinks his lizard-dragon form is certainly better suited to defend him in combat.
Hiro doesn’t argue with that. Baymax warns Sunfire that, if he ever threatens his master again, even unintentionally, he’ll promise Shiro his death will be the least of his problems. Sunfire defends that he doesn’t mean to harm anyone. He believes Baymax should know that there are few men who have challenged him and still live today. Hiro does his best to calm them both down, but fails.
Today, Hiro remembers that he is the one who installed Baymax’s programming. He mentions that Baymax is actually a Synthformer. He started out as a science project but, halfway through, after Hiro’s father died, he simply wanted more than just a project.
The Silver Samurai, GoGo and Honey Lemon enter. The Samurai orders both Baymax and Sunfire to stop fighting, believing they’ve arrived just in time. Tomago defends only the Samurai thinks that way. She on the other hand thinks it would be fun to have shown up after the soft and gushy parts started flying across the room. Lemon tells Tomago to be quiet, remind her that they need to act like professionals now. Tomago reminds Lemon that she isn’t a professional. She’s just here because it beats rotting in prison.
Sunfire warns the group that, if they want to fight him, they’ll have to wait their turn. Tomago refuses to play the waiting game. She shouts her codename, and transforms into an actual “cannonball” and strikes at Shiro and Baymax, creating a way between them and Hiro.
Today, Hiro still doesn’t know if GoGo shouted her name for effect, or because it triggers her transformation into whatever it is that she is, but either way it was effective at separating the two combatants. Even though Tomago talked tough, it was clear to Hiro that she was concerned about his welfare. Or… maybe she was just following orders.
While Tomago flies Hiro into safety, the Samurai and Lemon are left alone. The Samurai reveals that Sunfire is still wanted for questioning in an incident involving his power flares. Unfortunately for the team, they were only following Hiro to keep tabs on him. Otherwise, they would have thought to bring along a radioactive dampening blanket. Honey smiles and digs into a purse. She smiles that she just happens to have a radioactive dampening blanket in it. The Samurai wants to know if there’s anything Lemon doesn’t have in that purse of hers. She just laughs.
Today, Hiro is still impressed by Honey Lemon’s beautiful smile. He remembers what started out as a teeny scrap of material, expanded as she tossed it in Sunfire’s direction. He wonders if that meant Lemon’s purse was some sort of doorway to a pocket dimension. Or if that perhaps everything she kept inside it was made of a variation of Reed Richard’s unstable molecules. Till this day, he still doesn’t know. He only knows that as opposed to GoGo’s explosive style, Honey Lemon is poetry in motion. And who knows. That might even be what kept Sunfire distracted long enough.
Lemon gracefully throws the blanket at Sunfire, which grows larger on impact. Shiro struggles to pull it off himself, but fails to do so. Lemon wants him not to struggle, reminding Shiro that he is the very reason she seeks to serve her country, and she would be devastated if she brought him harm. Sunfire finally manages to release himself. He admits that he doesn’t know who most of Big Hero Six are, but he wants them to leave this instant.
The Samurai points his sword towards his cousin’s throat, smiling that he’s as arrogant as ever. The Samurai admits that, if it would be up to him, he would simply lop Shiro’s head from his shoulders, but his superiors have other ideas. Sunfire angrily orders the Samurai to retreat his sword. Just as Hiro frees himself from GoGo’s grip, the impossible happens. Sunfire releases an impressive amount of fire upon the Samurai, causing him to fall back and rescuing himself out of danger.
Today, Hiro believes that he needs to define the word “impossible.” By that, he means that, until it actually happened, he did not believe it was possible that Sunfire could wield his flames with such precision. For those of the group to stand in front of Shiro, it appeared as certain death. But Shiro knew better.
Everyone is still alive, and unharmed by Shiro’s flames. Hiro is impressed. The Samurai mentions that, if he didn’t know his cousin so well, he would say Shiro was merely showing off. Shiro admits he doesn’t want to impress anyone. Baymax mentions that, nonetheless, everyone is still impressed. He adds that Shiro’s flame was hot enough to crystallize the entire room, but instead he contained the heat from evaporating them.
Sunfire orders them for a final time to leave this instant. However, he becomes exhausted and almost collapses, out of breath. Hiro walks towards him. Hiro mentions he would never tell Sunfire what to do, but he begs him to follow him and the rest of Big Hero Six. Sunfire laughs at the name. Hiro does too, but he doesn’t doubt they’ve got access to resources that might help him find a cure for his condition. Shiro mentions that he has spent the last several months under the care of Department H when he was in Canada, and has been assured there is no cure for his illness.
He reveals that he has come home to die, but instead he discovered he has spent so many years in service of his country that he has no true home to speak of. There was nobody to great him upon his return. There were no relatives there to embrace him, and those that were had nothing but fear in their eyes. He informs Hiro that, if he goes along with the group, it’s only because he wants to die as himself: a simple, human being, and not because of a disease. His days as a hero are officially over. He bows and agrees to travel with Big Hero Six to their base.
Later, as Hiro and Baymax travel home again, they talk about what happened. Hiro thinks this was a sad thing to happen, as he always saw Sunfire as a hero. Now, he only sees him as a sick man who has given up all hope. Baymax tells his master to never judge someone’s life until he has lived it himself. Hiro thinks that’s impossible. Baymax admits that, because that was his point. Hiro is glad that at least Sunfire is trying to get better and went along with the others. Baymax is glad as well, joking that Hiro had enough excitement for a school night.
They arrive back home. Baymax transforms back to his casual form, as he doesn’t want to scare Hiro’s mother. Speaking of his mother, Hiro asks Baymax if they should tell her the truth. Baymax thinks that someday they should, but not right now. Hiro enters his house, but smells something. Like his mom burned dinner again. They enter the living room, and only find his mother’s clothes, and her body has vaporized! The culprit welcomes Hiro and Baymax home. He introduces himself as Everwraith, and mentions he understands that Big Hero Six have approached him to become a member. He refuses to see that happening. Everwraith mentions that, instead, he wants Hiro to from this moment on work for him!

Land of the Rising Sun: part 2
Sunfire’s condition is being treated in a lab. He’s being watched over by Honey Lemon. The scientist tell Honey they don’t think it’s safe to be around Sunfire in his current condition, as he’s still having trouble controlling his flame powers due to the Zero Fluid. Honey hears them, but ignores the scientists as well. She reminds them that both the Giri and all its scientist have been brought together to serve the interests of Big Hero Six, and not the other way around. Honey apologizes to Sunfire, agreeing that he shouldn’t be treated like a lab rat like this.
Sunfire agrees with that and thanks Honey for the fact she cares, but he realizes that he’s just too dangerous right now, especially to anyone around him. Honey smiles that maybe that doesn’t include her, thinking she doesn’t have anything to fear about Japan’s greatest hero. She even admits that the only reason she agreed to join this group is because of Shiro, as he has been an inspiration to her into becoming a hero. Sunfire coughs, claiming he never once did something that’s admirable and doesn’t even know why people always treat him like a hero the way they do. He’s just a common man with special abilities.
Shiro remembers that people even accused him of being arrogant in the past, and only decided to use his powers to serve Japan in time of need because he thought it was the right thing to do. He reminds Honey that she has powers of her own as well, and must appreciate what he just said. Honey admits that she only has powers because of her Power Purse, and doesn’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse, like with Shiro being a… - she hesitates. Sunfire asks if she means by that him being a mutant. He truly hates that word. He coughs again.
Dr. Yo warns Shiro that this conversation isn’t helping his condition. Sunfire realizes that, but he’s just so upset because he’s dying. He unleashes an awful amount of fire in his room, but luckily doesn’t hurt the scientist because they are standing behind a special plexi-steel observation glass. Honey tries to calm him down and gently touches Shiro’s shoulder.
Shiro’s fires continue to attack the window, though don’t manage to break it. Honey thinks Shiro did that on purpose so they would have some privacy. Shiro explains that he doesn’t trust any organization anymore after the recent experiences he had with Alpha Flight’s Department H. Honey asks about what those scientists’ diagnoses were, realizing they must have been trying to cure him. Shiro admits that, and it’s because of them he realized he is dying. Suddenly, the alarm bell goes off and gunshots can be heard.
Hiro and Baymax have entered the building. Baymax protected Hiro, while the security guards were firing upon them. Hiro takes out an E.M. Pulse gun he put together himself, and fires it so the firing mechanisms in the guard’s guns won’t work anymore. While Baymax continues to fight the guards, Hiro manages to hack into the computer system to get the information he came for. The guards step down, realizing they don’t have a chance against a big guy like Baymax.
The Silver Samurai believes he has. He is glad, thinking that Hiro and Baymax have accepted the offer to join Big Hero Six and that’s the reason why they are here, but he jokes that a phone call would have been enough. Baymax tells him otherwise, correcting the Samurai they just need some info and will be on their way. He warns the Samurai to stand back so he won’t have to hurt him. The Samurai laughs at that statement. He quickly takes out his sword, and channels it using his powers. Baymax proudly tries to defend himself, but he is simply no match for the Samurai’s powered-up sword and faints.
Hiro is impressed by the Samurai’s skills, more than he thought he would be. The Samurai mentions that the change from a freelance ronin like he just to be to becoming the leader of Big Hero Six is something he’ll need to get used to. He asks Hiro if Baymax is still alive, like he hopes he is. Hiro claims that Baymax was never “alive” to begin with. GoGo Tomago flies in, and slams Hiro down informing the Samurai that the big brain was trying to steal some of their information. The Samurai claims that he knew that. GoGo doesn’t believe that. Hiro asks the Samurai and GoGo for help, if it’s true that they are super-heroes.
The Samurai doesn’t like the idea of helping Hero much since he doesn’t want to join them, but asks what it is anyhow. Hiro informs the Samurai that, if he doesn’t get any help soon, his mother will die! Oshima overhears the plea, and finds it ironic that the very same members who wanted to have nothing to do with them came back begging for their help.
Oshima doesn’t know how other countries can deal with this sort of nonsense. He recalls that Canada has Alpha Flight, America has more heroes than he can count on one hand, and even the former Soviet Republic has his own team of heroes in the form of the so-called Super Soldiers. And then there’s also Sabra, the Israeli hero, but Oshima doesn’t even want to get started about her. Oshima doesn’t know if they can trust someone as smart as Hiro, but hopes he will be worth the trouble to enroll him into the team.
Elsewhere, in his hideout, Everwraith stares at the beautiful city that is Japan. He finds it remarkable to live in a land of survivors, who managed to use two nuclear explosions and the facts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to stand up again and build a better empire. And with himself being a bi-product of all that, as the living embodiment of all those people who died during those disasters, as a result of this savage scar upon what has become known as “civilization,” Everwraith claims he couldn’t be prouder of his people.
Then again, he wants to be honest, and wonders what those people have done for him lately. He thinks that Tokyo is doomed. And even though he believes he’s bound to fade into oblivion soon due to the fact that people have forgotten about his existence, Everwraith promises he won’t turn his back on the people.
He turns his attention to Mrs. Takachiho, who’s sitting scared and bound onto a chair. Everwraith claims Hiro’s mother will help him into achieving his goal. Maybe she won’t help him directly, but Everwraith reveals that her death will facilitate the next great era of Japan’s stagnant culture. He tells Hiro’s mother that she can trust him and that, together with her son and Sunfire, they will make Japan great again!
Meanwhile, at the temple of Big Hero Six, Hiro and a still powered down Baymax have a meeting with the rest of Big Hero Six and Mr. Oshima. Hiro asks for a glass of water, but Oshima claims they don’t have one. Honey smiles otherwise, and takes one out of her purse. Hiro is smitten with her, but doesn’t say anything about it. Hiro explains that, when they got home after learning Sunfire was dying, he and Baymax discovered that a villain named Everwraith had killed his mom! However, as Everwraith soon afterwards corrected, he had only teleported her away as her hostage, and told Hiro that, if he wanted to see her alive again, he had to bring Sunfire to him. And with Baymax and his mother having a special bound, they decided to do anything it took to get her back. Even if that meant bringing Sunfire to a villain.
The Samurai mentions that Sunfire isn’t of any use due to his current condition, but promises he and the team will do anything they can to save Hiro’s mother. Hiro doesn’t want to hear any of those excuses and simply wants to take Sunfire. He tosses the water onto Baymax’s back, which is enough to get him revived again. He stands up again and attacks the heroes. Oshima is exhausted by it, recalling that Japan has already enough super-villains and doesn’t want to see heroes fighting amongst themselves.
Not much later, Hiro is in the conference room and talks to the scientists about Sunfire’s bad condition. Oshima enters not much later, and angrily looks at Hiro. Hiro realizes Oshima is a good man trying to do his job the best he can, and gets allowed into Sunfire’s room. Shiro has been informed about Hiro’s problem, but he feels exhausted and realizes he isn’t of much use now. But he wants to thank Hiro for believing in him.
Hiro cries, shouting that Sunfire can’t die. Shiro apologizes for it. Hiro recoups, and mentions that he lived through the death of his father so he’ll live through this. But, he does feel disappointed. He leaves, but not without telling Sunfire that he actually came looking for a hero.
As Hiro has left the room, Sunfire screams in pain!
