Moon Knight is on his way to find the Defenders so they can rescue Nighthawk from the
villain Scorpio…
…who
at that moment is recounting his complicated origin to the captive Kyle and
innocent bystander Jack Norriss. Now that he has regained the Zodiac Key he
must activate his new Zodiac prematurely….
Clea
contacts Valkyrie and Hellcat in a mystic vision, telling them that Moon Knight
is waiting at the Sanctum Sanctorum and needs their aid….
Dr.
Tania Belinsky arrives back in Moscow and a KGB agent informs her that they
know she is also the Red Guardian….
Scorpio
activates his new Zodiac, forcing Jack to watch. In the next room, Nighthawk appeals to Nick Fury to release him but it isn’t Nick, it’s his rogue LMD Max Fury, so he refuses….
Val
tells Moon Knight and Hellcat that they need the Hulk. They rush over to a
large picnic in the park where Hulk, having scared everyone away, is eating all
the food. Val asks the Hulk to join the effort to rescue Nighthawk but he
refuses so Val kicks the picnic table over on him. Enraged, Hulk chases them
out of the park and through the streets, as they attack him periodically to
keep him following….
Scorpio
and Fury argue about whose fault it is that Moon Knight escaped and Scorpio
clobbers “Nick” and that’s how Jack learns Nick was an LMD all along. Scorpio
is planning to depart with the new Zodiac but an alarm sounds….
The
heroes try to lure Hulk into the Lincoln Tunnel but an absence of noise reveals
that Hulk anticipated their move and is waiting for them to exit on the New
Jersey side. Moon Knight has his copter pilot Frenchie open fire on Hulk to
decoy him away from the tunnel, leaving time for the heroes to grab onto the
ladder and be carried away. The chase continues and Moon Knight tricks Hulk
into crashing through the skylight of Scorpio’s lair (setting off the alarm
heard earlier); Scorpio greets the intruder and orders his Zodiac to attack
while Jack Norriss wishes he were anywhere else….
