Description
Investigating what has made Namor’s people become sick, he and the Fantastic Four‘s Invisible Woman arrive at the North Pole, when the Fantasti-Car they are traveling in is shot down. They escape however thanks to one of the Invisible Woman’s forcefields and find a way inside the Master‘s base beneath the frozen surface of the ocean. Inside, they overhear the Master who is torturing Marrina, and revealing the history of her hostile alien race, whose sole purpose was to breed and take over this planet, and they would have, hadn’t the ship been malfunctioning resulting in the alien eggs, one of them Marrina, being ejected before being fully imprinted. The two heroes reveal themselves, and more help arrives in the form of Snowbird. They free Marrina and defeat the defensive mechanisms of the complex, however the Master escapes. At the same time Guardian has to explain to Sasquatch that Aurora / Jeanne-Marie is a split personality. Sasquatch tries to coax Aurora back by trying to reach her by reminding her of the night they spent together several weeks ago, but Jeanne-Marie only replies by slapping him. Having found a way to cybernetically link up to the Master‘s base Guardian locates Northstar and together they set events in motion to blow up the main power core. The two groups meet up, and very soon the entire complex blows up. The heroes survive however, thanks to one of the Invisible Woman’s force bubbles. Namor and Marrina search the waters for the Master, but there is no sign of him, or any remains of the complex. The heroes all depart, and Marrina goes to stay with Namor in the hopes that he and his people will be able to help her find her true origins. Guardian bares the burden of telling this to Marrina‘s adoptive brother, Dan Smallwood, who is devastated.
