With Iron Lantern engaged with Mandarinestro, Apollo and Marvel Woman were left to watch each other's backs. Marvel Woman spotted the man first, a civilian at first glance. She was about to tell him to get to safety when he pulled out what appeared to be a high tech gun and aimed it at her. With a wave of her hand she pulled it from his grip with her telekinesis. The man turned and ran as the weapon exploded, causing Marvel Woman to stagger back. Fortunately, Apollo was there to steady her as they continued to subdue the horde of animal people.
Reed Richards knocked a device from Sonikclaw's hand and retrieved it before the villain. Sonikclaw attempted to get it back, but Reed held him off while he quickly analyzed the device. Reed pressed a button and half the anthropomorphic animals stopped as metallic collars fell off of their necks. Sonikclaw cursed and fled before Reed could stop him. Reed let him go, he had more important things to do.
Reed quickly retreated to his lab where he analyzed the device and found out that it controlled the humanoid animals through the collars. He used the device to quickly construct a crude broadcasting machine and sent the release signal throughout the city. The collars were disabled and humanoid animals stopped attacking to look around in confusion.
That was when Bruce Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted him. Reed briefly explained what he had done and Fury sent some of scientists from the technology division to secure and enhance Reed's machine to use on the rest of the nation. By the time Reed joined his friends the villains had all fled, Sue and Johnny were conversing with some of the humanoids, though in Johnny's case it was more flirting than talking. Ben was resting after the fight. Sue looked at him as he approached.
"They call themselves the Kindred," said sue indicating the anthropomorphic animals, "apparently they were kidnapped and controlled by those collars." Reed nodded.
"I surmised as much. Where are they from? Perhaps we can arrange transport back for them."
"We come from the jungle at the top of the world." replied a male, feline Kindred. Reed scratched his chin.
"I see, I think we may need to have S.H.I.E.L.D. assist us with this one."
With the help of the Challengers of the Fantastic, the uninjured members of the JLU and S.H.I.E.L.D. all the Kindred were safely returned to the savage land from which they came.
