File:Rom Vol 1 46 001.jpg

Description
After realizing that the “soldiers” approaching with the wolves and hellhounds are in fact Dire Wraiths, Darkstar and the other Super Soldiers join Rom and Starshine in fighting them. When they are all defeated, Ursa Major tells his story of what happened when he followed the Gremlin to the complex where the Wraithkind were mixing science and sorcery. Ursus then left the complex to ensure Gremlin, who he no longer believed to be their enemy could be safe. The five heroes race to the complex and inside they are confronted by Dire Wraiths who trap them around the pit, surrounding it with a forcefield. Inside the pit, the Spaceknights and Super Soldiers battle prehistoric animals, which the Wraith’s science and sorcery managed to resurrect. As one animal falls, another takes its place, until they all drop dead, for the Gremlin used his super intelligence to work out how to use the Wraith machinery and also shuts down the forcefield. The Wraiths are killed and the Super Soldiers decide to remain at the complex, using it as a base so they can defend Russia without the intervention of the State, and Darkstar invites Gremlin to join them, which he does, before Rom and Starshine leave to go in search of more Wraiths to destroy.
