Description
The Champions attempt to block the mass of bees entering their HQ, while a hive is constructed on the top of their skyscraper. Despite their combined efforts, the being known as Swarm manages to enter with his mass of bees, and giant mechanoid bees, two of which capture Iceman and Darkstar and take them into the hive. Hercules attempts to break into the hive, but as soon as he has broken some of it, it repairs itself. Down on the streets of Los Angeles, bees attack civilians, so Angel and Ghost Rider are sent to do what they can to assist the authorities. Iceman and Darkstar wake in the hive, and Swarm reveals his ironic origin to them, bringing them up to speed with how the Interpol agent encased the queen bee of the bees which took over his body in amber. Darkstar feels a connection with the queen bee, trapped in amber, and so frees the queen bee. Still trying to get into the hive, Hercules and the Black Widow are attacked by two mechanoid bees, who create an entrance into the hive. The four Champions are reunited, when Swarm reveals the queen bee - increased in size, it attacks Hercules, while Iceman protects Darkstar from Swarm, and the Black Widow takes on more mechanoid bees, until Swarm turns his attention to her - but Hercules manages to overpower the queen bee, and throw her across Los Angeles, and into the ocean. This causes the bees plaguing Los Angeles, and that are part of Swarm to follow their queen into the ocean, causing the remains of Swarm - bones and cloak - to fall to the floor, leaving the disturbed Champions to contemplate these events, though they do not notice a single bee emerge from an eye socket.
