File:Alpha Flight Vol 1 124 001.jpg

Description
Witchfire has captured Guardian, Northstar and Wildheart and begins to torture them, tormenting the powerless Manikin who is also her prisoner. While Witchfire isn’t looking, Manikin’s body begins to mysteriously change. In another realm, Witchfire’s father watches Alpha Flight’s plight and is pleased with his daughter’s progress. Manikin has now transformed into his past self, Apeman, and attacks Witchfire with pure force. The rest of Alpha Flight are freed and also attack Witchfire, and while they are unsure of how to stop her, Manikin tries to get them to give her another chance. The moment of breath they took while deciding what to do however was enough time for Witchfire to gather herself and re-attack them. Manikin transforms into his future self, Highbrow, to save Heather in one instance, before Wyre arrives on scene, prepared to destroy Witchfire. However Manikin pleads with him not to, so Wyre gives both Witchfire and himself a second chance. Manikin talks to Witchfire and eventually the evil is expelled from her body. But on Paradise Omega, Sasquatch and Talisman are still prepared to fight for the Goddess’s cause, and after gathering Puck and Windshear, they arrive at Department H, ready to kill Witchfire - except Guardian will not allow it, so they vanish. Persuasion and the others injured by Witchfire are all recuperating well, while Manikin is now concerned for Witchfire as she seems to have lost her memory. Meanwhile, in another realm, Witchfire’s father is revealed to be Belasco.
