Universo realizes that his defeat of the Legionnaires was an illusion created by Sensor so she could release Dreamer and Saturn Girl. While the three debate shutting down Titanet, Universo finds them and begins to mentally fight Saturn Girl. But at that moment, the field Kid Quantum placed around Cub deteriorates and Cub's mind enters the mix, distracting Universo long enough for Saturn Girl to shut him down. In the end, the Legionnaires make Dreamer a member, Timber Wolf and Apparition face an older Cub, and Shikari and Karate Kid take Universo, trapped in his own mind, to Steeple.
