Chapter 1 [Althanor—concurrent with the end of "Outrage"]

On the other side of the mists from where the standoff developed, Sensei lay still in his bed as in a deep sleep. His body struggled to heal itself from Zorpox's attack.

Heloise watched him gravely from the bedside. She knew they'd need him to help get the Promised One away from his alter ego's grasp. What can we do? His shinobi rages out of control. Clark, Lana and the Legion cannot stand against Zorpox. And….

From the Talon, she heard the Protector's scream and then nothing…..

"By the goddess! NO!" she protested. She saw Cybelle slowly enter the House of Healing. "What has happened?"

"My brother's counterpart has fallen. He is gone to us," the high priestess reported. "Any change?"

"None yet. I fear for my granddaughter, her consort and their friends, Cybelle. With Dubois down, there is none to assist them," Heloise presumed.

Cybelle shook her head. "That is not quite true." She smiled. "My brother can."

"The other Dubois? But he's missing! When did you find him?" Heloise argued.

"He's only misplaced in the past. He, Angie, Deirdre and Ricky cannot return to their present. However Dave can still go to your realm," Cybelle advised while opening a portal. "Step through and find him."

Heloise struggled to comprehend how the answer had suddenly appeared after the manhunt had failed apparently. Still she knew the others needed help. "I'll go right to the Talon with him."

"Be aware," Cybelle warned. "Be aware, Heloise. Dahak has already caused them great hurt. The Child craves vengeance. In the Talon, he will become the Destroyer."

"Unfortunately that may be required. Goddess, help us to bring him back," Heloise conceded before disappearing into the mists.

Cybelle wiped Sensei's brow with a damp rag. May you find him quickly!

[Zorpox's Hideout—Colorado Rockies]

The Protector stirred from unconsciousness and snarled. Since being hit with whatever that punk, Zorpox, did, he couldn't feel anything. A quick look confirmed why: he was once again the Image that manifested itself early in his development. "Wha' the Hell?"

Around him, an energy dome crackled and sparked a red hue.

"DAMMIT!" The Protector threw a couple of psychic blasts to no avail. He tried to pass through the prison but was rebuffed. "CRAP!" He saw the girls watching him. "HEY! WHA'?"

Kim raised her head. "You're awake! What happened?"

"Where is Ron San?" Yori added weakly from where she was chained.

"In Picture Place! He did t'is ta us!" the Dark One hissed. "Ah'm gonna whup 'im!"

Yori bowed her head. She was stubbornly keeping hope but Zorpox was crushing her husband's will. "Not until we see hope!"

"That's my sitch too!" Kim added.

The Dark One groused to himself. He knew Big Brother would keep getting weaker the longer they were separated. He floated around the cage. Then he felt something and stared at the ceiling. "Wha' th'? OH YEAH! Heheheheh! Blue Boy's gonna git it!"

The two girls worried about what was about to uncork itself on Ron.

The tide was about to turn big time…..
