Flashpoint hunts down Kilgore of the Mercs to learn why Deathtrap held him and his teammates of Stormwatch Prime captive. Kilgore doesn't give him an answer and Flashpoint kills him. When Stormwatch learns of this, they realize they have to take him in. Flashpoint continues to track down the other members of the Mercs, who realize that Kilgore is dead. When he is about to kill Hellslayer, the rest of her teammates arrive. They all battle, with the Mercs nearly killing Flashpoint, when Sunburst and Nautika arrive to apprehend Flashpoint. The three Stormwatch members are able to defeat the Mercs, except for Deathtrap. He tries to flee and Flashpoint blasts away Sunburst so that he can pursue Deathtrap. Nautika arrives to stop Flashpoint, and arrests him, letting Deathtrap go. Meanwhile, Lord Defile makes plans.
