The Skydream begins attacking the
Bronx and the farms aboard it burn. In the Moria command center, the heroes (Captain
America (Sam Wilson), Billie Wilson, Shadow Soldier, Patriot (Elijah Bradley), and
Falcon (Joaquin Torres) plus Robert Maverick) appeal to CEO Dennis Harmon to
stop but he won’t. Harmon unleashes the griffins on them. Sam Cap directs one
of them to claw Maverick which triggers his transformation into the Red Hulk.
He assaults Harmon’s force field, rupturing it and causing an explosion that
hurls everyone into the sky above Manhattan and plummeting. Several of them
have wings but not Shadow Soldier; then Hulk surprises everyone by sprouting
wings, given him as one of Harmon’s experiments, and he catches SS. Billie
confronts Harmon on his floating escape platform and he declines to help avert
the disaster he has caused. Then Harmon is eaten up by a sky shark and the
heroes are left alone.
Sam calls the shots: Patriot and
Falcon to destroy the jamming towers, Red Hulk to stop the laser cannon
attacking the city, while the others evacuate the farmers. Shadow Soldier uses
his Darkforce energy to take down the remaining winged guards on the Skywhale.
Billie confronts Dr. Cangza, who makes her own contribution to the rescue: she
fires injections that cause Billie and the female prisoners to sprout wings.
Sam alerts the Avengers to the danger around the nation so Black Panther, War
Machnine, and Storm arrive to fight the Skydream platforms in Washington,
Detroit, and Atlanta (respectively)….
After the danger is past, the
heroes work together to settle the farmers back on the main Skydream platform. Cap
and Billie visit Gramps and recruit him to advise the farmers then bring the clientele
of the soup kitchen to the farms as well. And the story ends with praise for
teamwork and Sam Cap and Billie flying off together….
