PRELUDE : Sensing a disturbance in the mystic energies she draws upon, Incantrix casts a spell to discern the cause of the foreboding. The complex spell requires several rare items and hours of meditation but is successful. In her mind she can see four locations that draw her attention. One is north of Phoenix, one is in Northern Arizona, one in Mexico and one in South America. Her spell also suggests that Asgardian magic is somehow involved.       Flying to Toleson, Arizona, Incantrix follows the spell's urging to a small shop. She recognizes the shop, it is The Magic Box, a shop specializing in mystical ingredients and herbal remedies. She has had dealings with the shop and knows that it supplies several local witches and warlocks. She enters and sees Thunderbolt questioning the proprietor, a wizened man with minor magical powers. Thunderbolt has also been investigating the magical disturbances, mostly following Alley Cat's lead. She and Incantrix exit the shop and compare notes. Incantrix no longer senses this location as being important and so invites Thunderbolt to join her in investigating the other three sites.       Incantrix next investigates the site in Northern Arizona. The spell leads her to an Indian Reservation where she finds a dark figure standing atop a hill. She senses an evil presence and approaches the figure warily. Thunderbolt recognizes the figure as Dark Blade from EBTNs she has studied. As Incantrix approaches closer, the feeling of dread increases. Dark Blade turns to greet them and his dark cloak whirls eerily about him. With a shiver, Incantrix recognizes the dread she feels - the cloak is demonic in nature! She quickly scans Dark Blade to see if he is under the cloak's control. She can see no direct link between him and the cloak but she knows it is but a matter of time before the demon within the cloak tries to possess the man.       Incantrix tries to warn Dark Blade of his danger but he dismisses her warnings. Incantrix is even more disturbed when she realizes that they are on an Indian burial ground. Dark Blade explains that he too is trying to find the source of the disturbance that his Shadow Cloak detected and went to the nearest mystical site to do so. He has tried to discuss his concerns with the local Shamen but they are locked within their sweat lodges and will not be disturbed. He finally agrees to join the two heroines in their quest.       After a quick visit to The Defense League base, Dark Blade and Thunderbolt follow Incantrix to Mexico. Thunderbolt recognizes this site as the facility where Golem died. They meet Maelstrom there who has decided to follow up on rumors about the underwater caves near the facility. Incantrix's spell leads her to the chamber where his remains were placed. Thunderbolt suspects that the spell is picking up the eminations left by the mystic gems that were left behind when Golem's consciousness was transferred to the Light Sabre body. There is no sign of the gems. Maelstrom agrees to join the group's investigations.       Only one site remains that draws Incantrix; the one in South America. She leads the group south and soon zeroes the search to Argentina. Again, Thunderbolt recognizes the area. It is the archeological site where Dr. Stevenson discovered the Aztec Eye and them mysteriously disappeared. As they land, Light Sabre steps forth from the tunnels. He has come in response to a computer flag programmed by Singularity to flag any unusual activity at this site. The archaeologists have reported strange occurances at the site - poltergist pheonomeon and strange dreams. The Aztec Eye was found in tunnels far underground. Incantrix casts a spell that will move them swiftly through the tunnels. Maelstrom and Light Sabre decide to stay at the tunnel entrance.       Dark Blade summons forth a Shadow Bat and sends it down the tunnels to investigate. Incantrix, Thunderbolt and Dark Blade start down the mile of tunnels.       After only a couple minutes, Maelstrom and Light Sabre see a strange vortex of energy start to form. Maelstrom immediately recognizes the vortex as the same created by The Wrecker when he attacked The Vault. Dark Blade is in contact with Maelstrom with a Mind Link and sees the vortex also. The three mystic heroes turn around and start back up the tunnels. Seeing all four members of The Wrecking Crew step from the vortex, Incantrix tries to link with Light Sabre but he refuses. Thunderbolt also tries to Mind Link with him but he refuses her attempt also. His experiences being mind controlled by Dr. Doom have made him paranoid about accepting any form of mental contact.       Incantrix establishes a Mind Link through Dark Sabre to Maelstrom. She is able to use it to teleport the three mystic heroes to the surface. They arrive just in time as the four members of The Wrecking Crew fan out and attack! THE ADVENTURE : Incantrix casts a spell and entangles Bulldozer in vapors that wrap around him in bands harder than steel. From across the battlefield, Thunderball whirls his wrecking ball around his head and throws it at the mystic warrior, knocking her off balance. His enchanted wrecking ball flies through the air and returns to his hand.       Light Sabre targets Piledriver with a beam of solid light but the powerful villain shrugs off the attack and laughs, "Har! I've been hit by stronger winds in Kansas!"       Thunderbolt unleashes a Lightning Bolt at The Wrecker! The powerful bolt of lightning hits the villain but he seems to be unaffected! Ignoring Thunderbolt, Wrecker advances on Light Sabre and lashes out but misses. "Where are the Norn Stones?!", cries The Wrecker.       Maelstrom moves to Piledriver and swings at the powerful villain but misses.       Dark Blade sends a Bolt of Darkness at Thunderball. It hits and seems to have some effect on the powerful villain.       Bulldozer charges across the battlefield and strikes Dark Blade! He sends the hero flying back over 40 feet.       Incantrix quickly takes position 60 feet over the battlefield with a powerful Mystic Blast! Thunderball is knocked back 20 feet.       Stung by Piledriver's scorn, Light Sabre switches tactics. Using his powers, he telekinetically grabs Wrecker's feet and yanks the surprised villain high into the air! "Let's see how well you do in the air!", cries Light Sabre. "This is Humiliating!", cries The Wrecker as he dangles in the air. He throws his enchanted crowbar at Light Sabre but misses.       Thunderball sees Thunderbolt and Dark Blade standing near each other and sends his wrecking ball at them! It strikes both, staggering them and then returning to his hand.       Maelstrom stands toe to toe with Piledriver, relying on his powers to absorb the strength of the villain's blows. He strikes Piledriver but the powerful villain seems unphased. Piledriver's oversized fists pummel Maelstrom, charging the hero up to his full strength but sending him staggering backwards.       The battle continues with the five heroes holding their own against the four Asgardian powered villains. The tide changes when Dark Blade teleports behind Thunderball and the villain surprises the dark hero with his sheer power in hand to hand combat. Thunderball strikes and Dark Blade is sent hurtling over 120 feet away to crash limply to the ground.       With one of their number down, the four remaining heroes fight with grim determination! Incantrix moves toward Thunderball, casting an invisible spell to reflect attacks and cries, "Leave him and play with Me, Thunderball!" Her spell fails due to the sheer power if of her attack and she is staggered.       Dropping The Wrecker and creating a pole of solid light energy, Light Sabre summons all his might and bats the villain across the battlefield!       Thunderbolt strikes The Wrecker with an augmented Thunderbolt before the villain can regain his balance.       Maelstrom and Piledriver exchange powerful blows that shake the ground around them.      The tide of battle again changes as Incantrix summons all her mystic might and sends a spear of pure energy at Thunderball! The dazzling spear strikes the powerful villain and he is thrown backwards! He lands with a crash, bloody and still!      Pressing their advantage, the heroes push themselves to the limit. They can not long sustain these efforts but know with grim certainty that if they allow these villains the slightest respite they will lose their advantage.       Dark Blade staggers to his feet and recovers. With Thunderball down, the tide of battle goes against the remaining three villains! The Asgardian Sorceress, The Enchantress suddenly appears and looks on the scene with scorn. "You will not stop me from gaining the Norn Stones!", she cries.       Incantrix hits Enchantress with a Mystic Blast that knocks the villainess off her feet. "You shall pay for this indignity!", cries Enchantress. Before the Asgardian Sorceress can regain her feet, however, Thunderbolt strikes her with a thundering bolt of lightning! When the smoke clears, The Enchantress is unconscious!       As The Enchantress falls the air over her shimmers and a towering White Dragon appears over her! Incantrix summons a Red Dragon to battle the White Dragon but it turns on her in rage and fury! Incantrix quickly sends her dragon back from whence it came. The White Dragon carefully picks up The Enchantress' unconscious body and returns with her to its realm.       With The Enchantress gone and Thunderball down, The Wrecker, Bulldozer and Piledriver quickly fall before the combined might of the five heroes.       Deciding that they must investigate the last site indicated by Incantrix's spell, Incantrix, Thunderbolt and Dark Sabre again travel down the tunnels while Maelstrom and Dark Blade watch the villains and keep them unconscious.       Maelstrom gathers The Wrecker's mystic crowbar and goes to help Light Sabre who is placing solid light restraints on the downed villains. Standing behind Light Sabre, Maelstrom suddenly lashes out with The Wrecker's crowbar and knocks him unconscious! Unknown to Maelstrom, the crowbar is enchanted to mind control anyone but The Wrecker who holds it!       When the trio of heroes return from their fruitless investigation of the tunnels, they find Light Sabre unconscious, Maelstrom sitting with his head in his hands, dazed and bewildered and the four villains gone.       Light Sabre recovers and Maelstrom slowly comes out of his daze, having no memory of his actions after he picked up the crowbar.
