In space Catalyst Drones begin to attack the Meteor of Babylon, the Supers reach the core.

Quantum: This is it, team! We have to protect it!

Sun Sorceress: Yeah and what if we can't?!

Quantum: We find a way to keep this thing from crashing down to Earth.

Neon Crane: If we can't we do have another solution, Scarlett said that I could use that machine, the Xenon, to control the ship. Maybe, I can....just in case, we-

Suddenly, Catalyst Drones breach as the Supers prepare themselves for a fight as the Catalysts Drones engage the Supers in a fight with the Supers overpowering and destroying most of the Catalysts with their combat or superpowers. Power Surge suddenly yells out.

Power Surge: Everyone down!

The team ducks down, before Power Surge unleashes an electric shockwave that destroys most of the Catalyst Drones.

Neon Crane: Whoa....now, that was bad ass....

Quantum: Think you should've saved that for somethin bigger, Josh.

Power Surge: What the hell do you mean something bigger? You see something bigger here, Mr. Parker?

Inside the Dragonfly's helmet, V.O.X detects another hostile on the helmet's HUD.

Dragonfly: V.O.X? What's that?

V.O.X: We've got one more....it's bigger.

Suddenly, an advanced Catalyst armor armed with blades, machine guns and rockets, comes crashing down in front of the team. The helmet of the armor unseals itself, revealing to be Tarmac.

Tarmac: Well, goddamn....you Enhumans are damn good at building high tech shit I'll give you that....our scientists have been studying each and every one of your powers....this armor is built to beat each and every one of you...this is where the line draws heroes.....my plan is complete. I'm going to destroy this core, which will cause this entire structure to fall...it's directly above New York City...one of the most popular human cities in the whole world.....once it's obliterated, humanity will blame Enhumans and eradicate them from this world.

Quantum: What?!

Tarmac: Yes! I'm setting you freaks up. Like setting Kala up was easy.

Neon Crane: Kala?

Tarmac: That crash was staged. You think Kala would've got away that easy? I just didn't think she had a change of heart.

Neon Crane: You had her son hostage.

Quantum: And you're willing to sacrifice thousands of innocent human lives!

Tarmac: Thousands of humans sacrificed to save the billions out there! It's a cause I'm willing to die for!

Quantum: We're not going to let you do this.

Tarmac: (face armor seals up) You're not going to stop me, son....the Enhuman race ends now.

Tarmac, in his advanced armor, sprints toward the team, before Quantum gives out orders.

Quantum: Damn it! Dragonfly!

Dragonfly shoots at Tarmac as Mother Nature uses the grass vines to restrain him. Dragonfly flies at Tarmac and repeatedly punches him. Tarmac electrocutes his suit, transferring electricity to Mother Nature and shocking her. Tarmac stands up and grabs Dragonfly's' punch, before grabbing him by wings. Tarmac then destroys Dragonfly's wings, before tossing him into the Owl just as he flies and attempts to attack, incapacitating him as well. Power Surge and Neon Crane nod at each other, before shooting their powers at Tarmac. However, the shots bounce off Tarmacs' armor. The two then bolt speed and light dash at Tarmac, only to be caught by the throat.

Tarmac: I have to say, Ms. Campbell...I am highly disappointed in you.

Tarmac throws Power Surge and Neon Crane off, before he faces Quantum and Sun Sorceress. Tarmac faces Quantum and Sun Sorceress, who equips her sun blades. Tarmac equips his blades before he advances towards Quantum and Sun Sorceress as they dodge. Sun Sorceress slices up Tarmac's armor torso, before Quantum laser blasts Tarmac's chest armor. Quantum then flip kicks Tarmac back, before Sun Sorceress slides and trips Tarmac. Quantum, in slow motion, jumps up and blasts Tarmac down with his laser vision. Sun Sorceress jumps up and attempts to stab Tarmac, before he dodges and attempts to smash Sun Sorceress, who blocks the attack with her sun shields. Quantum attempts to punch Tarmac, but Tarmac blasts him away with his cannon. Tarmac engages Sun Sorceress in a quick fight, before he knocks her into the wall. Sun Sorceress advances at Tarmac as Quantum blasts his laser vision at Tarmac, who holds back the beam, causing it to hit Sun Sorceress, knocking her unconscious.

Quantum: No!

Tarmac: Just you and me now, leader.

Quantum and Tarmac have a standoff, before Quantum flies at Tarmac, dodging a blade attack, before he punches Tarmac in the face. Tarmac grabs Quantum and attempts to crush his spine, but Quantum presses his thumb into Tarmac's face armor eye, damaging it. Quantum then laser beams Tarmac' helmet, causing Quantum to be released and damage to Tarmac's helmet. Frustrated, Tarmac removes his helmet, before tossing it aside. Quantum then tackles Tarmac into the lower core and onto the bridge. The two then recover, before Tarmac grabs Quantum by the head just before he can laser beam. Tarmac then tosses Quantum across the bridge, removing his helmet in the process. Tarmac crushes Quantum's helmet, before Quantum faces Tarmac, revealing his identity to his foe.

Tarmac: (laughs) I don't freakin believe this....no...no...John Parker? The second richest man in New York? An Enhuman? Now, I see why you refused to hand me your tech, because you're one of them....one of those freaks! Wow....I cannot wait to see the headline; "Billionaire playboy revealed to be Enhuman collaborator in humanity's destruction". It's going to be amazing!

Quantum: This has gone far enough, Tarmac! Stop this now! It doesn't have to be like this! Your family wouldn't want you to do this!

Tarmac: They'd be alive if it wasn't for you freaks being on this damn Earth! Your species must die and in order for that, some sacrifices must be made.

Quantum: Yeah, twisted sick animals like Hitler used the same argument and look what happened. They lost!

Tarmac: Well, I won't!

Tarmac advances towards Quantum, who flips up and blasts Tarmac's back armor, causing damage. Tarmac swings back, slicing Quantum's chest armor. Tarmac gains the upper hand in the fight, before kicking Quantum's back. Quantum recovers, but just before Tarmac can deliver a fatal blow, Sun Sorceress throws a sun blade into Tarmac's shoulder armor, distracting Tarmac and giving Quantum the opportunity to jump onto Tarmac's back. After a brief struggle with Tarmac opening fire aimlessly, Quantum laser beams into Tarmac's battery pack, disabling his armor, but not before Tarmac inadvertently destroys the bridge, causing it to tilt and Quantum and Tarmac to slide.

Sun Sorceress: Dad!

The two struggle to hang onto their lives as below them lies the primary core. Tarmac's ejection button is destroyed as he attempts to bail out of his armor. Quantum turns to notice and slides down to help Tarmac.

Quantum: Give me your hand! Tarmac!

Tarmac: Go to hell!

The bridge tilts as Tarmac falls, but Quantum catches him by the coat armor.

Tarmac: I don't need your help, freak!

Quantum: What the hell is wrong with you, man?! Don't you realize you'll die?! This cause your fighting for is over! Enhumans and humans can work together! We're stronger that way!

Tarmac: No...humans are stronger....we are superior to you freaks...

Tarmac turns to the armor's self-shock button and reaches for it.

Quantum: Tarmac...don't....

A tense moment.

Quantum: Tarmac! Listen to me!

Tarmac: Humans win!

Quantum: Tarmac! No!

Tarmac presses the shock button, shocking Quantum and causing him to release Tarmac's armor coat. Tarmac, in his armor falls, into the primary core, causing an explosion that kills Tarmac and disables the Meteor of Babylon, causing it to plummet straight towards Earth. The bridge falls as Quantum manages to jump to safety. Sun Sorceress jumps down and joins Quantum, before the two regroup with Power Surge, Dragonfly, the Owl and Neon Crane.

Quantum: James!

Neon Crane: Oh, no! The Meteor of Babylon's' falling!

Dragonfly: And by V.O.X's calculations', it will head straight for New York! The whole city and everyone in it will be obliterated!

Neon Crane: I can stop it! I can!

A short pause.

Neon Crane: It's our only chance!

Quantum: Okay....

Power Surge: I'm going with her!

Quantum: Go! Now! We don't have much time!

Neon Crane and Power Surge head towards the Xenon chamber as the Meteor of Babylon reaches Earth's atmosphere, creating a fire. Power Surge and Neon Crane reach the Xenon Chamber as they spot the machine. Neon Crane prepares to use the Xenon, but Power Surge grabs her arm.

Power Surge: Trisha! Wait! The Xenon was built for Genesis!

Neon Crane: Josh, we don't have time! If I don't use this machine, thousands of people will die!

Power Surge: It could kill you!

Neon Crane: I have to do this!

Power Surge: No! No! there has to be a better way than this!

A short pause.

Neon Crane: Josh....we both know this is the right choice....if I die...then that's a chance I have to take.

Neon Crane runs up to the Xenon and presses her hands into the machine, causing a neon energy blast that surges throughout the machine and giving energy to the Meteor of Babylon.

Power Surge: Trisha! I think it's working!

Fireballs from the debris of the Meteor of Babylon reign down onto New York, before Neon Crane gives a defiant yell as the Meteor of Babylon suddenly ceases and levitates back into orbit.

Power Surge: Yes! You did it!

Suddenly, the Xenon goes critical and seemingly damages Neon Crane.

Power Surge: No! Trisha!

The Xenon suddenly explodes, knocking back both Power Surge and Neon Crane. Amid the aftermath, Power Surge recovers and discovers an unconscious Neon Crane, before rushing to her aid.

Power Surge: No....no....Trisha! Trisha! Hey! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

Quantum, Sun Sorceress, Dragonfly, the Owl and Mother Nature arrive, before Dragonfly scans Neon Crane for vitals.

Dragonfly: V.O.X?

V.O.X: I can't find a pulse.....

A short pause before V.O.X speaks again.

V.O.X: Wait.....there is a pulse.

Neon Crane begins to awaken.

Power Surge: Trisha?

Neon Crane: (groans) Oh, Power Surge, you're my hero. (laughs)

Power Surge: No! No! No! You did not just do that!

Neon Crane: (laughing) Yes, I did! Payback for the pool stunt!

Power Surge: Yeah, but I did that with my powers! You did that with an exploding machine! This is ten times worse than what I did! That's not funny!

The Owl shakes his head.

The Owl: Kids.

Neon Crane: Ow! That really did hurt, though. I think I injured my side. Ow....this superhero stuff is painful.

Quantum, Dragonfly, Sun Sorceress, The Owl and Mother Nature laugh, before Neon Crane stands up.

Power Surge: You really had me scared there...

Neon Crane: You? Scared? What's to be scared for? I'm a Super.

The team laughs while Genesis awakens only to be greeted by Quantum, Power Surge, Dragonfly, the Owl, Sun Sorceress, Mother Nature, and Neon Crane arrive.

Genesis: You'll have to kill me.

Quantum: No....you know I won't kill....not even you, Adrian.
