Plot
In the wreckage, Desaad and Piper are found by the OMAC carrying Karate Kid and Desaad reveals that he has
been behind the troubles of Piper and Trickster from the start, simply to bring Piper here so that Desaad can access the
Anti-Life Equation that exists within him.
Jason follows the OMAC with Karate Kid and Piper while the Challengers, now including Holly, Harley and Mary, try to find
him.
Brother Eye begins to examine Karate Kid while the Una-OMAC attacks Jason who manages to wake Firestorm who, as a
captive, had been powering Brother Eye. The Challengers attack Una-OMAC as the Atom attempts to free Karate Kid and
discovers he carries the Morticoccus virus. Brother Eye uses a Boom Tube to send all of the heroes out of the command
chamber and into path of a horde of OMACs.
Desaad finds Piper and tries to get him to play but instead, Piper kills Desaad before turning his music against Brother
Eye, causing it to explode and flee Apokolips.
