Story
continued from CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY #13.
In
Dimension Z, Ian Rogers is in his cell that resembles a child’s bedroom.
Black Widow encourages him to let go of his trauma because Earth is being invaded by
the monstrous Phrox….
Bucky Barnes, Revolution of the Outer Circle, confronts White Wolf over this invasion
which was not part of the plan; White Wolf no longer cares about the plan, he’s
taking control….
Outside,
Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Captain America (Sam Wilson) with their
partners Sharon Carter and Misty Knight are making plans to invade the villains’
stronghold. It is decided that Steve Cap and Misty will head in the front to
attack White Wolf directly while Sam Cap and Sharon will sneak in the back to
face Bucky. So, the former dash in and quickly fight their way to the throne
room. Sam Cap and Sharon enter via the roof and Sharon faces Dryad, her Aunt
Peggy, with Sharon taking on the mask of her friend Roger Aubrey, the recently
killed Destroyer. Sam Cap attacks Bucky. In the dungeon, Ian tells Natasha that
Steve sees him as hope but hope doesn’t change things, sometimes everything
needs to be broken. The discussion continues while we cut to the various battles.
Finally, Steve Cap defeats White Wolf and Sam Cap subdues Bucky. Steve is
reunited with Ian but Ian still has something to do; he is laying aside his
trauma to become what he is: he suddenly transforms into an armored ruler and takes
the throne of Dimension Z. Bucky tells Steve that Cap was a pawn in this plan,
doing what Bucky knew he would do. Steve Cap figures out Bucky’s plan: as the
new Revolution of the Outer Circle, his first goal was to keep Neganite out of
the bad guys’ hands and so he manipulated Steve Cap into forming a new Invaders
to retake Manhattan. And then Bucky had to get everyone out of Dimension Z, the
sole source of Neganite so he allowed White Wolf to capture the place and
kidnap Ian which brought the Caps there to defeat WW so that Ian could become
the ruler. The two Caps agree that the next steps involve everyone going home….
