The elder Defenders are lured to a mountain bunker in Colorado by Tycos and the Phantom is captured.

Arriving at the mountain bunker, the youngsters discover that Mandrake and Flash are also Tycos' captives. Tweak enters first, sacrificing himself to dismantle the nerve gas which frees the three heroes and clears the way for the others to join in the effort.
