## Synopsis

The heroes meet with the heroes of Earth-1 and they must prevent The Abomination from performing the Rising.

## Plot

We begin with the heroes rallying to Gemini, who has just been shot by The Abomination. The Ray flies him to the med bay aboard the Chrysalis.

The team discuss what they need to do whilst Gemini is healing in the med bay. Alex reminds the team that whilst they love Gemini, "they have a job to do" which is to stop Kal-Lok. Mason Phoenix tells the others that they have a breach machine aboard their cruiser. Kieran is tasked with fixing up the machine.

On Earth-1 in London, we see Norman Hayes along with Dr. Harry Davies and some other heroes walking along Southbank. They then notice a portal opening from beneath Tower Bridge. Jetstream flies up to assess the situation.

Back on the Chrysalis on Earth-52, Kent joins Mason in the library. Mason asks Kent what the helmet is telling him. Kent tells him that he's seen the future and that he sees the team defeating the Abomination but somebody in addition to Gemini, dies. Mason finds out he is the one destined to die. Kieran then walks in stating that he's fixed the breach machine. The heroes head to Earth-1.

On Earth-1, Jetstream flies towards Tower Bridge. He warns the others to keep civilians back from the river. Arkin Obscurum and The Abomination arrive. Jetstream notices Arkin immediately, Arkin attacks the hero with fire. Jetstream reminds Arkin "Why would you fire at a guy blasting literal fire out of his hands?" The Abomination demands Arkin take care of the heroes whilst he goes to Kings Cross to make his way to Scotland. They fight. After a moment, Harry notices that water on the table is shaking, he looks up. Caledonia remarks seeing the Chrysalis through the breach is "That's a sight for sore eyes... Gentlemen, may I announce the return of Captain Alex Lance." That's right, after 6 and a half years, Captain Alex Lance is back on Earth-1. He is home. The Ray, Starbright and Lord Destiny fly out of the ship, The Ray shouts at The Abomination to leave Jetstream alone. Lord Destiny tends to Arkin whilst Ray and Caitlin help Norman with Kal-Lok. Lord Destiny gets the information that The Abomination is heading to Scotland via train. He alerts all heroes to get to King's Cross Station. They reach the platform but Kal-Lok has gone.

On the Chrysalis, Jamie McDonald reunites with his long lost friend Alex Lance. Alex introduces the heroes of Earth-1 to the Legends and team Saken. Norman mentions he was good friends with Alex's uncle, Charles McLance aka Saltire. They tell Alex that Charles is gone and he sacrificed himself for the good of the multiverse.

Alex pilots the ship whilst most of the heroes are resting. Kent and Mason are also on the bridge but Kent is asleep. Mason asks how long it will take to reach Scotland. Alex states that they will get there before Kal-Lok. Mason and Alex talk about Henry Watson. Alex tells Mason that he's going to catch up with his old team. Kent has a vision whilst Mason notices he's in pain. He tries waking Kent. Kent awakes and Mason asks if the mission is accomplished but Kent states his visions haven't changed. He tells Mason that he has only ever seen "great calamity and the world in flames". He informs Mason that they can stop this but Mason dies. Mason responds by saying that he does not fear death. Kent then tells Mason a story about when he was a boy and that the gifts of Lord Destiny has given him longer than anyone could hope to live for and he's privileged to have seen the world change. But he's still sentimental and does not want his friend to die.

In the med bay, Jason is keeping Gemini company. Gemini wakes needing to tell Jason something. Gemini warns Jason that he is dying and that Jason needs to let him go, that he's nothing more than an anchor around Jason's neck. Gemini states that no-one lives forever and that he needs Jason to do him a favour. Jason needs to get Thursday to disconnect. He pleads with Gemini not wanting to kill his friend but Gemini insists. Jason does this. Gemini asks Jason to stay with him and he thanks Jason for the adventure of a life time and hopes that his life is long and full of love, just as his has been. Gemini dies.

The Abomination arrives in Scotland at the Ring of Brodgar. Lord Destiny puts a spell seal around the stone circle. The Abomination demands that Destiny shows himself. The Phoenix, Defender and Fortitude are with him. The new combined team of heroes face The Abomination together but The Abomination does not care for this, he thunder claps and the heroes fall over. Lord Destiny appears to The Phoenix. Leo Miller and The Ray declare that it's over and the heroes have lost. Lord Destiny tells Mason they can't win. The Phoenix responds with that if they don't do something then the world burns. As The Phoenix, Defender and Fortitude step towards the hill, they bump into an extended spell seal. Lord Destiny appears on the other side of it. He removes the helmet of fate and speaks to his friends. Mason is distraught. Kent states that he's giving them a third option. Mason replies that it was supposed to be himself that dies but Kent tells them the truth.

Lord Kent Arlington: "I didn’t tell you my whole vision, old friend. I did see your death, but I also found a way to prevent it. I’ve lived an extraordinary life but with one foot in the future. Mason, for the first time in 100 years, when I look ahead, I see nothing, and it's beautiful."

Mason and the others start banging on the shield. Kent says goodbye to his dear friends. He then ascends to the top of the hill.

The Abomination reaches the stone circle but Lord Destiny throws a spell that holds him down. Lord Destiny then duplicates himself to hold down Kal-Lok. Lord Destiny tells The Abomination that he is an agent of the Lords of Order but even he cannot defeat the titan. Lord Destiny transmits a message across the multiverse from Earth-1 to Earth-3, to Earth-217 and more. He warns them that to save the multiverse, they must all join together. He tells them that fate and destiny do not make mistakes. Finally Elizabeth Arlington hears her fathers message. After a good fight, The Abomination has had enough and hurls fire towards Lord Destiny. This causes Destiny's duplicates to shatter like glass and the spell seal to fade. Kal-Lok states that Kent has fought bravely but it is time to die. The Phoenix, Defender and Fortitude arrive and see Kent without his helmet. Elizabeth teleports to the site and sees The Abomination thrust his blade through Kent's chest. He then fades into golden dust. Arkin is freed from Destiny's prison. Kent is defeated. The Abomination kicks the helmet of fate out of his way.

We then cut to Jason visiting the Flannigan family and having to tell them that Gemini is no longer with them.

We go back to the battle and Hex is now fighting The Abomination who then sends the army of the dead. Alex now knows what he must do. Alex steps in the stone circle. Kal-Lok shoves his fist into Alex causing him to vanish.

We the join Alex and Kent Arlington's spirit in the dimension of wondering souls. Kent declares it's time for Alex to take up the mantle, for a younger man to take his place. Alex accepts and Kent tells him to remind Elizabeth that she's loved.

Alex returns as Lord Destiny and fights with The Abomination. He repeats the speech given by Kent's Lord Destiny. He fights with the titan until he is all but defeated, Alex states that the titan will never win because Kal-Lok is alone and he is not! Hex joins the fight. The heroes of the multiverse arrive to fight the shadow demons. After a lengthy battle, the heroes win.

At Puzzles, Ben remarks how many people there are and states it's like someone died. Not realising this is for Gemini and Kent. The heroes of Earth-1 and Earth-217 announce their departures and the heroes of Earth-52 remain to attend Gemini's funeral. Although Harry hands Alex some interdimensional jump devices to get him back to Earth-1 and Alex asks Elizabeth to stay for a bit.

Jason then speaks about Gemini from the heart.

After the funeral, Ray and Rory leave Earth-52 but Leo remains behind. The Legends then ask what is next and Alex responds with correcting the next aberration.
