In the Meteor of Babylon, Genesis is preparing to broadcast to the Earth again while on Earth, a news broadcast is shown across the world including the hospital in Owego, where Maria is lying in bed with her wounded leg wrapped in a cast.

News Reporter: It's been three days since the machines called the Catalysts that were designed to protect humanity, suddenly turned their attention on humanity.....as a result, many humans and Enhumans were either killed or injured.....at the UN, world leaders spoke out today, declaring the Catalyst Project be shut down immediately, not wanting to endanger the safety of civilians both human and Enhuman alike....All military forces are turning their attention on finding Genesis' base-

Suddenly, the broadcast is interrupted by Genesis again.

Genesis: People of Earth. I am Dr. Genesis. I have three demands, which will be met. First; all anti-Enhuman programs are to be destroyed immediately. Second; The Catalysts Machines are to be destroyed and extinguished from the face of the Earth...and finally, General Gerard Tarmac will be handed over to me for his crimes against Enhumans....if my demands are met, I will not attack again. If you refuse, well, then, the war will begin....and we will not s-

The broadcast is suddenly turned off.

Genesis: What just happened?

Snake-Bite: Don't know....the broadcast stopped...I can't turn it back on!

Dominic: What's wrong with it?!

In another part of the Meteor of Babylon, Dragonfly is hacking into the bases systems.

Dragonfly: All right...that should keep the bastards from tracking us....or any defenses on the ship.

Quantum: Good.....we'll split into two teams. Sun Sorceress, Dragonfly, Mother Nature, you're with me. We're taking the north side. Power Surge, Owl, Neon Crane, you guys take the south.....we'll regroup in the main chamber...remember; primary objective; capture Genesis....all right, let's move team.

The teams split into their assigned groups while at a W.R.E.X Air force military base, a sky radar man is detecting the Eagle on the screen.

Sky Radar Man: Sir, we have an unidentified aircraft heading north.....flying 15 kilometers.....into orbit...none of our aircrafts can head into that far into orbit, sir.

Tarmac: Not one human made....Track it and see where it's headed! all right, boys! Gather your all your shit! This is it! Our big chance to get rid of the Enhuman scum! I want a whole goddamn army of Catalysts tracking that aircraft! It may lead us to Genesis. Consider all Enhumans as targets...including the Supers!

W.R.E.X Soldier # 1: Sir, with all due respect, did you hear the UN's decision? They want the program-

Tarmac: To hell with the damn UN! They don't know what they need until an Enhuman breaks into their building and slaughters every one of them!

The soldiers stare at Tarmac.

Tarmac: Now! That's an order! Move out!

W.R.E.X Soldier # 1: But, sir, it's the UN. They won't let this-

Tarmac pulls out his pistol and executes W.R.E.X Soldier # 1, leaving the soldiers shocked for a moment.

Tarmac: Anyone else care what the UN thinks of the Catalyst Program?

A short pause.

W.R.E.X Soldier # 2: You heard the man! Move out!

The W.R.E.X Soldiers run off to their Catalysts Armor as the drones' power up. Tarmac is walking towards the hangar.

W.R.E.X Soldier # 3: Sir, where you going?!

Tarmac: Evening the playing field, son....fighting fire with fire.

In the Meteor of Babylon, in the broadcast throne, Axel, using his Dragon senses, detects the Supers' presence.

Axel: Supers.

Genesis: They're here.....Parker...

Dominic: What do you want us to do?

Genesis: Take care of them...of course....

Scarlett, Eric and Andre depart, before Genesis calls to Axel and Mammoth.

Genesis: You two stay here.... and get in your armor. Aside from my daughter, you're my best trained warrior. You'll be my last defense in case those three can't hold them off.

Mammoth: No problem, bossman.

Axel: With all due respect, those three will not be able to hold them off.

In the Enhuman art display aboard the Meteor of Babylon, The Owl, Power Surge and Neon Crane are walking through the display.

The Owl: Whoa....look at this.....Lamoure Devatre.....Alyssa Vatrogue'.....

Neon Crane: who are these guys?

The Owl: Enhuman Artists.

As the two Supers continue moving Dominic smoke dashes from up above, gaining a vantage of the team.

Power Surge: Something's not right....

Neon Crane: What do you mean?

Power Surge: It's too damn quiet...

Suddenly, Dominic uses his smoke powers to trap the team, before revealing himself.

Dominic: Eh...Josh...always thinking you could telegraph my moves.

Power Surge: Dominic....

Dominic: So, I see you guys found us after all.

Neon Crane: Why are you doing this?

Dominic: Parker is weak! He'd rather have us live with the humans while Genesis is going to bring humanity to its knees....he will make the humans give us the respect we deserve.

Power Surge: Man, Parker took you in, gave you a home and a family and you screw us over like this?!

Dominic: He screwed us over o the humans. How bout it?! Join Tombs, bro! Save our race! Fight with us!

Power Surge: Go to hell and I'm not your "bro", bro.

Dominic: It's a shame....I really do admire our fire, Josh...and Trisha....I really do like you...but you chose a lesser man than me.

Power Surge suddenly begins to laugh.

Dominic: Something funny, Josh?

Power Surge: You really should know that this Meteor...is ran by power....power ran by electricity....gives us both an edge..

Dragonfly: Where?

Suddenly, a blast of red energy conjures and subdues the team, before they are encased against the wall. Genesis floats down, before Red Dragon jumps down. Mammoth jumps down into the room.

Genesis: My Enhuman brothers and sisters....welcome...you're just in time to watch the show of the last day of humanity.

Quantum: We know it was you who hacked the Catalysts machines...killed many innocent people.

Genesis: There we go with that word again. "Innocent"....there are no such things as innocent humans...

Quantum: Where's the Xenon?

Genesis: it's here. The salvation of our future. Your blindness for humanity's safety has poisoned his mind.

Sun Sorceress: Just like you poisoned Dominic's....

Genesis: Dominic made his choice....he wants to help our species....you and your people don't understand....humans like Tarmac...they seek to control our destiny....well, we'll show them that we can control our own and their destiny's.

Neon Crane: Not today....

Scarlett: (laughs) The little neon girl....all grown up and a bad ass now...love the suit by the way. (spits out blood)...you know; it would've been easier if you had just came with me and it would've been all better for you.

Neon Crane: What are you talking about?

Scarlett: You were a back-up....in case we couldn't free my father. You can work the Xenon as he could.

Neon Crane: What?

Scarlett: Oh, yeah.....it's a device that only works for both adaptive energy and neon.....adaptive energy allowed him to control the Catalyst Drones.

Neon Crane: so that's what happened in Boston!

Scarlett: You Supers aren't as dumb as you look.....

Genesis: that's enough! Don't you see it yet?! Humanity is dying! We, Enhumans, are the next of Gods' creation! We are their rulers! They're afraid of us! Look at what we can do! (removes mask) All we can do! They are afraid, because they cannot control us and that makes them weak! I'll make you one last offer.....join me.

A short pause.

Quantum: Never...

Genesis, enraged, conjures up red energy.

Genesis: So be it.

Quantum blasts at Genesis, before the two engage in a struggle. Quantum and Genesis continue their fight with Genesis knocking down Quantum.

Genesis: Why do you continue this, John? Why fight it?

Quantum: Because it's the right choice, my friend...we're not Gods.

Genesis: We have the power to be gods though! We have that power! to be judge, jury and executioner! You are wrong, John....to try and force two different species to co-exist.

Quantum: I feel sorry for you, Adrian....I truly do.

Genesis: I am sorry too, my old friend...because now, you must die.

Quantum blasts Genesis back, forcing him on his knees.

Osmosis: Your reign of fear ends now.

Genesis suddenly shoots red energy at Quantum, who blocks the energy with his bare hands and blasts his laser vision, knocking Genesis back, before Quantum begins to pummel Genesis into submission. Quantum then finally punches Genesis with a telepathic punch, subduing the former villain.

Genesis: One day...John...one day...your dream will die.

Genesis falls unconscious. Suddenly, the Meteor of Babylon alarm rings.

Power Surge: What the hell is that?

Dragonfly: V.O.X? What's happening?!

V.O.X: Detecting multiple Catalyst Drones heading towards our location.

Outside the Meteor of Babylon, many Catalyst Drones are flying towards the base.

Catalyst Drones: Main location acquired. Preparing for entry!

The Catalyst Drones open fire onto the base, creating an entry point from which they enter.

V.O.X: The Catalyst Machines have entered, sir. Lower hall level.

Quantum: Okay, we need to stop them from destroying this base.

Dragonfly: I'd be able to take them out if I had my helmet to breath in space!

Power Surge: We'll then we'll have to improvise. Let's move!

The team moves out.

Quantum: I'm the leader here....I say "let's move out".
