Plot -
Bolt escapes from his girlfriend's bedroom after being nearly caught by her parents. He
spent the night there, because since coming to New York, he's homeless. Meanwhile, in
Brooklyn, a gang attacks another, and Terry, one of Aegis's friend, is killed in the
crossfire. At Terry's funeral, Aegis vows revenge for the young boy's death. Meanwhile,
Turbo catches up on the arsonal she stopped a while back and meets up with Dalton Beck, a
man who appears to be secretly after Turbo's armor. In the skies above New York, Namorita
nearly runs into the Human Torch, and the two strike up a conversation. Namorita gets an
idea, and asks the Human Torch to take her to a chairity event. The hero agrees. Later,
the Torch shows up at the Crashpad to tell Turbo that the fire was indeed arson. Just
after the Torch leaves, Aegis shows up, requesting that the Warriors help him with the
gangs. The Warriors, minus Namorita, arrive at one of the gang's headquarter, to ask them
to turn over the weapons. Unfortunately, one of the gang member is James, a former friend
of Aegis. The Warriors and the gang fight, but the gang is outfited with state-of-the-art
weapons. A wall is destroyed, and Bolt and James are going to caught underneath the
rubble. Aegis, the only Warrior close, dives in to help, but decides to save James, a
person the other Warriors don't even know. Meanwhile, in Atlantis, Namor and Ashur, one of
his confidants, reveal why Namorita has reverted from his Kymaera state. Also, Ashur
reveals that Namorita developed new powers: the able to turn invisible and secrete an acid
from her skin. After Namorita's mock fight with some Atlantean soldiers, Namor declares
that Kymaera is no more, and Namorita is still princess of Atlantis. Back at the gang's
hideout, the Warriors run to save Bolt, but he appears to be alright. Nova yells at Aegis
for his lack of loyalty. The gang tries to escape, but James, whose life Aegis just saved,
attacks the Warrior one last time, throwing a grenade their way. Nova grabs the grenade
and flies into the atmosphere, protecting the innocents below. Aegis watches in horror as
his former friend escapes, unable to tell the Warriors what really is going on. Back in
Atlantis, Namorita asks Namor if he would help to bankroll the Warriors. Namor agrees, but
only because it was Namorita was asked. Back at the Crashpad, Nova demands an explanation
from Aegis, but before he can get on, the gang attacks the Crashpad with their powerful
weapons, destroying their headquarters with the Warriors still inside! |
