Description
Bochs is growing increasingly mad and threatens to destroy Alpha Flight – starting with Aurora for everything that she has done to him. Despite the slight hesitation of Vindicator, but the relief of Jean-Paul, Bochs is taken to Scramble, where Jean-Paul intends to seek Dr. Jeffries out to cure him of his disease. Bochs is taken to New Life, and after Dr. Jeffries heals Puck’s broken arm, he begins to work on Bochs, with the assistance of his brother and intern, Whitman Knapp. In the waiting room, Judd pines for Heather, while Heather wonders if Madison feels the same way about her that she does about him. Things start to go wrong in the operating room, for Scramble reveals that he used the flesh of dead people to restore Bochs’ legs, as opposed to using his excess fat like everyone was told. The demented Scramble then reveals to his brother that he intends to create an army of new men – superior beings – mixed into the super beings in Alpha Flight. Madison opposes Lionel and tries to leave so he can warn Alpha Flight, but Scramble uses his flesh-powers on Madison, immobilizing his arms, legs and mouth. Whitman Knapp tries to take down Scramble but Scramble uses his powers on him, splitting open his face and head. Dr. Jeffries then turns to Bochs, who agrees to join with him in creating the new beings. Northstar leaves the waiting room to go in search of Dr. Jeffries, and his sister Aurora follows him, but due to the darkness of various parts of the complex, they get separated and Aurora stumbles into a room where several people and one creature are being held captive in glass tanks. Northstar realizes that this is his last chance to be cured of the disease he is dying from and is about to enter the operating room when the door is blown away – and standing before him is the fleshy new creature, comprised of Scramble and Bochs. Northstar races back to the rest of Alpha Flight, who are all taken down by this new creature, who calls itself Omega.
