Synopsis for "Warworld Revolution, Part Three"
Mongul's forces launch an all-out assault on a rebel-held fortress. The vanguard of his forces are the new Unmade: Darling, OMAC, Apollo and Lightray, now known as Black Razor. Knowing it is only a matter of time before Mongul's army reaches their main camp in the Necropolis, Superman decides to split their forces so they can persue every possible chance of victory. Midnighter, Manchester Black and Enchantress will remain at the camp to fight off the main attack; Steel, Orphan and the chainsmith Leonath will infiltrate one of the Star Forges and attempt to channel Genesis through it, which should theoretically restore Superman's powers and grant powers to the Phaelosians; meanwhile Superman and Kryl-Ux will go into the centre of the Necropolis to reach the Fire of Olgrun.
Natasha, Orphan and Leonath reach the Star Forge, but Teacher and Darling are waiting for them. Orphan tries to take control of Darling but Teacher has reprogrammed it to only obey him and the technofamiliar attacks them.
Superman and Kryl-Ux journey into the depths of the Necropolis. They take Osul-Ra and Otho-Ra with them because, as Midnighter points out, they would be no safer if they stayed behind and would likely feel better if they were with Superman. They reach the heart of the Necropolis and enter to find Byla waiting for them. He tells them that he is a servant of the Old Gods, sent to guard the Fire against the unworthy. He tells Superman he cannot just give him the fire and transforms into a gigantic monster, then challenges him to prove himself worthy.

Synopsis for "A World Without Clark Kent, Part Two"
Natasha Irons, Orphan and Leonath are able to communicate with John Henry Irons on Earth through the Genesis Fragment. Together they develop a way to filter the mutative radiation from Genesis energy, allowing John to safely charge Thao-La's cells. With the rejuvenating energy she heals quickly, and John predicts a full recovery within days. Natasha realises they can filter Genesis through one of Warworld's Star Forges and distribute the energy throughout the planet, restoring Superman's powers and hopefully giving powers to all the Phaelosians on Warworld.
Suddenly, their communication is cut off and Conduit breaks into the Steelworks. He takes the Genesis Fragment and flees rather than try to fight John and Lois. Lois contacts the Superman Family and tells them to stop Conduit.
