Summary of the Legion #1:
Upon their return to UP space, the "Lost"
Legionnaires' Outpost ship is hurtling
into Earth's atmosphere.  With the
assistance of M'Onel, the ship avoids a
fatal crash and the Legionnaire's slowly
emerge to the fanfare of news crews. 
As the Legionnaires assist in cleaning
up the fiery hazard of the crashed ship,
the Presidential Over-Sight Watch arrives
and informs M'Onel of an emergency he must attend to and Venge is left behind to escort the returned Legionnaires to the UP congress building where they will meet with UP President McCauley.  Unfortunately, a terrorist group from Corvan IV has assaulted the Congress building and taken the delegates, including McCauley, as hostage.  The Legion arrives and quickly disables the terrorists before the arrival of the Over-Sight Watch which  leads to a rivalry between the teams.  AsTriad attempts to reunite with her former team-mates, Shikari is separated from the team to be examined in quarantine and the others board an underground transport to the Science Police Research Facility.  During the trip, Imra awakes from the coma she has been in since confronting the Progenitor in the Lost Galaxy and warns the Legionnaires of a trap just before the transport pod explodes.

Summary of the Legion #2:
Oversight Watch members, Repulse, Twine, Brainstorm and
Abyss, arrive at the explosion site of the Legionnaires transport
vehicle to inspect the destruction and ensure the Legionnaires
have perished.  They discover a powerful force-field strengthened
by Quantum and Dark-Force energy, which opens to reveal some
very upset Legionnaires.  The two teams clash but the Legion-
naires are shaken from the accident and choose to retreat and
regroup.  During the battle, Umbra loses her abilities to cast Dark-
fields for unknown reasons.  As the team continues their escape,
they come upon a huge underground chamber called a Genome
Vault and trip an alarm which summons the Science Police and the Oversight Watch led by Venge.  Meanwhile, Triad enters the UP Science Police headquarters in disguise and liberates Shikari.  As the Legion and Oversight Watch battle, Ultra Boy, Saturn Girl and Wildfire find that Venge is much more formidable than he would seem as he casually brushes off each of their attacks.  Kid Quantum uses her powers to suspend him in time as the Legion once again retreats, this time into a drain tunnel.  As Venge is released from his time-suspension he orders a reactor control site to release tons of toxic, irradiated water into the tunnel in which the team escaped.  The Legionnaires realize that something is rushing towards them and search for an exit to the tunnel.  At the end of the tunnel  they discover a large number of skeletons, including that of Leland McCauley, leading them to wonder who is masquerading as the president of the UP.  The team is confused as to how they should proceed, considering that the entire UP may be hunting them, but help arrives in the form of Shikari and the Bouncing Boy.
