Grunge and Freefall have been rescued from I.O. by the rebels and are reunited with Rainmaker and Burnout from 30 years in the future. Fairchild has been left behind and Lynch shows her his answer to the Drahn alien question: an enzyme that will dissolve the Drahn on a cellular level but will kill all humans as well. The rebels arrive to rescue Fairchild just as the Drahn begin their final assault on earth. In the present, Lynch, Rainmaker and Burnout return to New York but are hounded by I.O. forces.
