Description
Following Marrina‘s signal, Alpha Flight’s Omni-Jet is shot at and crashes, with no causalities. Guardian, Sasquatch, Northstar and Aurora emerge from the wreck and make their way to a nearby complex. Inside the twins get separated from Mac and Sasquatch, by sliding walls. Trying to find another way out, Northstar is struck unconscious by the complex, and Aurora gets trapped between rods that close in on her from very direction, causing her to panic and revert into the timid Jeanne-Marie persona. Thankfully Mac and Sasquatch soon arrive on the scene, but without Northstar, Jeanne-Marie will be more of a burden to them. Sasquatch is rather puzzled by Aurora’s strange behavior, and is angry at Guardian for not telling the team about Aurora’s psychological problems. Separate from the others, Northstar comes around and hears Marrina scream. She is being tortured by the Master of the World, who reveals his origin to her. 40.000 years ago, shortly after he was banished from his primitive tribe, he felt a strange call and found himself summoned to a crashed spaceship. He was captured by the devices inside and dissected, with his brain becoming part of the ship. Over time he took control of it and having mastered the alien technology he created himself a new body. The Master tells Marrina that her origins too lie within this ship, and he has to destroy her before he will take over the world. At this time, the Sub-Mariner and Invisible Woman arrive on scene. Outside the base, Snowbird arrives at the crash site. Using her post-cognitive abilities she finds out what happened to her teammates and transforming into a polar bear, she follows them into the Master’s base.
