"Cronus is a black and green asshole who likes to pause time and kick our asses." Nimona explains. "Anyway - we think the seige thing was a set-up so that the Enchantress could break Cronus out. I mean - all the guy's defences were melted, the Piraka - who happen to be the lackies of one of the people she's friends with - also escaped, the Enchantess, Valeena, and Zaktan were never caught, and there were these skele-ghost things that came out of the armory and attacked us - which is the handiwork of Valeena.

"...Why do you ask?" Shotaro is immediately on edge.

"Hey, hey, don't worry! I'm on your side. Unlike some people, I don't accuse unless I have a lot of evidence." The man clarifies. "Anyway, name's Big Band. I've heard you two were detectives. Mind helping a cop out?"

"And his self-appointed assistant?" A small girl pops out from behind Big Band, with two empty eye-sockets and a mouth filled with sharp metal teeth.

The two halves of Double look at each other, then turn back to Big Band and Peacock.

"What's the case?"

Elsewhere, on the planet of the hero meeting, a portal opens, dispensing a large bird of fire.

Inside the mindscape of the bird are two figures - one, a teenage girl with red hair and a glowing pink amulet. The other, a vaguely humanoid figure as black as night, with no face - only a glowing, pink symbol.

''"Strange...we do not appear to be in Alledia..." ''The Voice muses.
