Synopsis:
In the nether-realm of Alizarin Crimson, Tara awakens from a
dream to the sound and image of Janis Lawson romping
playfully through Crimson's fortress. She pursues the
fleeing figure and runs into Colt, who is also free of her
prison. Guided by a mysterious form of mental energy, Colt
leads Tara to the cell where Nightveil's astral spirit is
imprisoned. Crimson, who had been gloating over the fate of
Dr. Pretorius at the hands of his own creations (which she
controlled), spies the heroines' activity and moves to
intercept. As she launches an attack on Colt and Tara, the
mystical consciousness within Colt's mind leaves her and
returns to its rightful owner, Nightveil. Free, and seething
with vengeance, the sorceress decisively defeats Crimson and
explains to Colt and Tara how she had created the image of
Janis and planted the consciousness in Colt's mind that
allowed she and Tara to free her. Nightveil's satisfaction
turns to panic as she remembers Claudette and her imminent
possession by Sehkmet. Her mystic vision sees that She-Cat
has been transformed into a snarling, raging cat-beast. The
young girl she menaces stands her ground and is able to help
Claudette submerge the spirit of Sehkmet once again.
Nightveil registers a shock of recognition when she learns
that the young girl's name is Octavia. |
