Description
Heather Hudson becomes impatient waiting for Mac, and demands some answers from her host Delphine Courtney. Turns out that the job offer from Roxxon was a hoax to lure them to New York, all part of a revenge plan from Jerome Jaxon, who almost ruined Mac’s career years ago. Heather learns that after a failed suicide attempt, Jaxon now sits in a wheel chair, and became obsessed with destroying her and Mac. Heather tries to escape Delphine, her current kidnapper, only to find out that the woman is actually a robot. Delphine leaves the room open, and though Heather realizes that it has to be a trap, she walks out to search for Mac. On an isolated hill in Ontario, Snowbird, Shaman, Northstar, Puck, Aurora and Sasquatch assemble, responding to the Alpha Signal, only Marrina doesn’t show up, as she is with her lover Namor in the city of Atlantis. A brawl starts out between Northstar and Sasquatch over Aurora, and Shaman suspects that Sasquatch'’ rage is caused by a mystical affect. With the combined might of all the Alphans they separate the combatants, and Aurora calms Sasquatch before Shaman teleports them all to New York. They arrive in the chamber where Guardian is holding his own against Omega Flight. The two teams engage in battle, with casualties among both sides. Aurora is wounded by Wild Child, while Snowbird painfully discovers that her lifeforce is bound to the land of Canada. Sasquatch doubts himself, fearing to lose control of his bestial side again. Smart Alec grabs the medicine pouch off Shaman, and despite the warnings from Shaman, looks inside, losing his sanity. Northstar, Shaman and Puck defeat Wild Child, Diamond Lil and Flashback, and it seems the battle is won, when suddenly Box pushes Guardian into secret chamber. He gives him a heavy beating, and reveals to be Jaxon inside the suit, not Roger Bochs the former Beta Flight member. Struggling to survive, Mac uses some wires from his beat-up suit to repel Box from him, which subsequently frying Jaxon’s mind due to the feedback. Mac tries to shut down his power pack, and with ten seconds to go seems to be doing an okay job - until Heather walks into the room, distracting him – and he blows up, his body turning to ashes.
