Description
As Guardian, Vindicator, Northstar and Box are joined in battle against the Consortium by Her, the alien they are protecting, the Consortium launch more and more spaceships to attack. Box sends a distress call to Department H, requesting that all available Alphans and Betans assist. Sasquatch, Puck and Windshear prepare themselves, and alert Shaman, who along with Diamond Lil and Aurora are examining Laura Dean. Shaman informs Witchfire and Persuasion that they also will be needed on this mission, when suddenly Laura wakes up and screams about saving Goblyn, before she, Shaman, Aurora, Persuasion, Witchfire and her parents vanish, leaving a confused Diamond Lil to explain what happened to the others. The four Alphans arrive at the battle scene and quickly go to their teammates aid. During the battle, Diamond Lil encounters a small alien who shoots her with a laser that actually pierces her skin. Knowing the laser may be the only thing that can cut through her skin so she can have a biopsy, Lil flees the battle to chase the alien. Northstar’s arm gets broken in battle but he is able to keep fighting by wearing one of his opponents forearm guards. Windshear manages to do serious damage to the Consortium, but when he protects Guardian, he winds up unconscious. Her considers surrendering to the Consortium so that she can end the destruction, but Vindicator reminds her that they have sworn to defend her, however when hundreds more of the Consortium’s fleet arrives, he seems regretful. The other Alphans, including Lil who has caught up with the alien who has the laser, are all just as astonished when they see the new fleets arriving. However, the tides are about to be turned by the arrival of the Mighty Avengers! Meanwhile, deep in space, the Qwrlln are still concerned by the arrival of Frankie Raye, the Herald of Galactus. Believing they have a plan, the Qwrlln teleport themselves, their planet and Frankie Raye with the hopes that Galactus will not be able to follow.
