In the last issue of "Omega Attack!": As Kid Razor and Sonic Blue tried to double-team and subdue the mind-twisted Mike "Omega" Nagrite, Selene captured the Heavy Metal Heartbreaker's best friends and bandmates, the Rock 'n' Roll Cavaliers. She used an old gem known as the Elemental Star to imbue each of the Cavaliers with a superhuman power and mastery over an element. When Omega tried to charge the Ultimate Rockstar, and Sonic Blue, who ended up with damaged armor, a voice yelled out for him to stop.

(Cleveland, Ohio)
"STOP!!!!" A familiar voice called. Omega stopped on a dime.
"Huh?" Omega stopped. Razor and Sonic Blue looked around.
"What?" They asked. A ghostly figure materialized before Omega. It was of a teenaged Asian girl with purple hair, clad in a purple-and-blue ninja fighter suit, complete with two short swords on her back.
"Stop this, Omega." She said, her voice spiced by an English accent. "It's not worth it."
"Betsy!" Omega said with glee. "You're back!"
"Hoo boy, I must've hurt my head or something." Spencer shook his head. "I think I'm seeing a ghost."
"You are seeing a ghost." Razor smirked. "One worked with me for a while."
"Mike, stop this please." Betsy said.
"How?" Mike said.
"My spirit resides in a higher plane now."
"Like Heaven?" Mike asked.
"Yeah." Betsy replied. "Kind of."
"Betsy, I've missed you so much! I've been a shambles lately."
"I can see that." Betsy nodded. "Omega, what are you doing?"
"I was trying to get Kid Razor's guitar! Without it, Selene can't restore you to life!" Omega explained.
"Selene! That witch was behind all this?! I knew it!" Razor growled. "That low-life, scum-sucking…" He started muttering curses. Betsy snickered.
Just like Ronnie described. Betsy thought. One big fat gigantic mouth. "Look Mike. I know about this whole thing with Selene. She's bad news. She's only deceiving you, Mike." Mike looked confused. Here was his dead girlfriend taking to him and telling him the woman who promised him life for her was deceiving him. What was going on around here?
"What are you talking about?" Mike asked. Sonic Blue and Kid Razor watched.
"Uhm, maybe I should leave and get my armor fixed up. With my new boosters, I'll be back in a flash." Spencer said. Razor nodded.
"Make it quick." Razor said. Sonic Blue sped off back home. Razor watched Mike and the astral Betsy talk. "Hope you can help him, lady."
"What do you mean?" Mike asked.
"You nearly killed that Sonic Blue guy!" Betsy snapped. She learned about Sonic Blue from Ronnie. "That's not the Mike Nagrite I fell in love with!"
"Betsy, I'm doing this for you! I'm nothing without you!"
"Mike, I know it hurts. I miss you too." Betsy said. "But you have to let me go. We can't continue our relationship, Mike. I'm dead."
"I just wanted you back."
"And Selene took advantage of you because of it."
"But, why?"
"Because that witch gets off on exploiting the pain of others." Razor snarled. "I lost a friend thanks to her."
"Ronnie wants you to know something, Razor." Betsy said with a smile. "He's watching and he's proud of you." Razor smiled.
"Thanks." Razor smirked. "Tell Ronnie I'll get Selene and free him one day."
"I will." Betsy replied.
"Selene…lied to me?"
"She played on your wish to have me back like a bloody fiddle." Betsy said. "And she used her hypnotic powers to make sure you'd fight Razor. She made you into a bloody berserker!"
"Look Mike, I can't understand how much it hurts to not have Betsy with you anymore. It's perfectly normal to want her back. But you can't let that consume you. I'll make you go nuts! Look what happened here, man!" Razor said. "You nearly killed Spencer!"
"Spencer?"
"Sonic Blue." Razor replied.
"Oh." Mike said. Tears fell down his eyes. "Oh Betsy…I love you so much." A tear came down Betsy's check.
"I love you too, Mike." Betsy replied. "Mike, I do wish I was alive again. I do wish we could be together, but we can't. I live in the Astral Plane now."
"Mike, Betsy wants you to be happy." Razor said. Betsy nodded in agreement.
"Mm-hmm." She said. "Mike, I know it'll hurt you to move on. But you have to. It's unhealthy for you to stay like this. Besides, I'll be watching over you. I'll be fine. And so will you."
"But…" Betsy placed her finger on Mike's lip.
"No buts, Mike. You'll join me someday. But you have to be good. Mike, I'm not going to be angry if you let me go and move on. I'll watch over you and root you on."
"I'm nothing without you, Betsy."
"You are something! You are Michael James Nagrite. You are a mutant who has had a rough childhood, yet became the beautiful soul you are now. Nobody's mad at you now. You can be happy without me with you physically. I'll always be with you in here." She put her finger on his chest. "You still have the Brotherhood."
"And you got a friend in the Kid of Rock. And it's good to have the Kid of Rock as a friend." Razor said. Mike smiled.
"Oh dear God, what did I let her do to me?" Mike slumped to his knees. "I became an animal! A monster like her! Oh God please for…uh…ah…AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Mike clutched his head and jerked to his feet. The red glow in his eyes intensified before he shut them.
"Her hypnosis! She's trying to take him over completely!" Razor yelled.
"Mike, fight it! You're stronger than her!" Betsy encouraged. Mike snarled as his tentacles popped out. He stared at Razor, looking like an enraged wild animal, his eyes glowing solid red.
"Mike…Don't make the Kid of Rock blast you, man!" Razor warned, pointing a glowing guitar's head at Mike. Mike slowly walked towards Razor, tentacles whirling, until…
"NO!" Mike screamed, clutching his head. "You…will…not…control…me! No one…controls…AAAAHHHH…No one…controls…MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Mike screamed at the sky. Red energy beams flew out of his eyes. When it stopped, Mike slumped to the ground.
"He did it! He fought off Selene's control!" Razor exclaimed. He and Betsy helped Mike up. "You're alright, man…" Omega nodded weakly.
"Yeah." Mike said. "I'm fine." He managed to push Razor off. "Oh dear God. I nearly let her make me into a monster."
"And even if you did get my guitar, Selene would've killed you anyway." Razor grumbled. "She's sick that way." Razor then heard something. Among Razor's powers, he also had superhuman hearing. He heard a jet. "What's that?" He noticed the Velocity land nearby. Storm flew out, the Brotherhood following. Razor prepped his guitar.
"Razor, no!" Betsy and Mike said at once in unison.
"It's okay, Razor. They're friends of mine." Betsy said.
"Former teammates." Mike smiled. Sonic Blue, his armor repaired, raced up to the three. He noticed the Brotherhood.
"Who are they, and can someone tell what in the name of everything holy is going on?" She said, scratching his head. Betsy chuckled.
Well, looks like things may take a turn for the better! What will happen next? What about the Rock 'n' Roll Cavaliers? What'll happen to them? How will the Brotherhood and Storm react to what's going on around here? Will Sonic Blue ever get a clear idea of what's going on? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
