| Synopsis1 =The [[Taker (New Earth)|Taker]] erupts from the underground complex housing its birth chamber, destroying the complex, and seemingly killing all the heroes within. The giant creature heads off toward Metropolis to feed. Meanwhile, [[Kal-El (New Earth)|Superman]] finds [[Wally West (New Earth)|Flash]] with several [[New Bloods]], the new metahumans empowered by their interactions with the [[Bloodlines Parasites]]. Superman tells Flash and the others of the heroes’ sacrifice and the Taker’s paralysis-field. Flash learns how the New Bloods found the location of the Taker birth chamber. They reveal that the New Bloods had begun to feel a call from both the Taker and other New Bloods. They guess that, when the Parasites fed their spinal fluid to the Taker, it created some sort of link between each of the New Bloods and between the New Bloods and the Taker. The New Bloods agree to help fight the creature and Superman welcomes their help. Superman sends Flash off to follow the creature. As he follows it, he sees that it is expelling a tentacle laden appendage in its wake. Flash soon finds several New Bloods and a comatose [[Amanda Waller (New Earth)|Amanda Waller]]. When Waller awakens, they figure out that she was a victim of the creature’s paralysis-field, but that the New Bloods are immune. The New Bloods fight the Taker as it continues toward Metropolis. When [[Nik Mayak (New Earth)|Nightblade]] is seemingly killed, the New Bloods are enraged and fight even harder. However, their efforts are only able to hurt the Taker, not defeat it. Meanwhile, Flash learns that the Taker’s tentacle laden appendage is actually a sort of stomach, and it contains the heroes that were believed to have died in the destruction of the Parasite’s complex. Meanwhile, Superman learns that the Taker’s tentacle laden appendage is burrowing tentacles into the earth, feeding off the Earth’s resources. Realizing the Taker is getting its nourishment from not just the people it is devouring, but also from the Earth, he manages to destroy the feeding tentacles. Meanwhile, Flash has enlisted several New Bloods to help liberate the heroes in the Taker’s stomach. They are successful in freeing many of the heroes. [[L.E.G.I.O.N.]] arrives hoping to aid the heroes against the Parasites. Superman returns and tells the New Bloods that they need a plan. [[Joe Public (New Earth)|Joe Public]] steps forward and tells the others that he has noticed that when more than one of the New Bloods use their powers together, their powers become more powerful. He thinks that if they all work together, the effect should be multiplied. [[Courtney Mason (New Earth)|Anima]] adds that she has the ability to absorb energy and pump it into her [[Animus (New Earth)|Animus]], the creature she can summon. She thinks she can do the same using Joe Public’s energy absorbing powers. Joe Public begins to absorb the powers of the other New Bloods and Anima directs them from him into her Animus. Anima’s Animus takes on a gestalt form with features of the other New Bloods. It grows to a titanic size and confronts the Taker. The two titans clash and, with the combined powers of the New Bloods, Anima is able to defeat the Taker. Soon, they realize the Taker is not dead, merely unconscious. Before it can awaken, the heroes take the creature and throw it into the sun where it perishes. After the Taker is defeated, it is revealed that Nightblade survived, with his regenerative powers healing a broken neck. On the L.E.G.I.O.N. ship, [[Vril Dox II (New Earth)|Vril Dox]] and [[Lobo (New Earth)|Lobo]] wonder if perhaps other Parasites escaped the rift into this universe. [[Pax (New Earth)|Pax]] states that, for the sake of everyone, he hopes not; The destruction of one universe, his universe, is enough.

Synopsis for "Bloodbath"

The Taker erupts from the underground complex housing its birth chamber, destroying the complex, and seemingly killing all the heroes within. The giant creature heads off toward Metropolis to feed. Meanwhile, Superman finds Flash with several New Bloods, the new metahumans empowered by their interactions with the Bloodlines Parasites. Superman tells Flash and the others of the heroes’ sacrifice and the Taker’s paralysis-field. Flash learns how the New Bloods found the location of the Taker birth chamber. They reveal that the New Bloods had begun to feel a call from both the Taker and other New Bloods. They guess that, when the Parasites fed their spinal fluid to the Taker, it created some sort of link between each of the New Bloods and between the New Bloods and the Taker. The New Bloods agree to help fight the creature and Superman welcomes their help. Superman sends Flash off to follow the creature. As he follows it, he sees that it is expelling a tentacle laden appendage in its wake. Flash soon finds several New Bloods and a comatose Amanda Waller. When Waller awakens, they figure out that she was a victim of the creature’s paralysis-field, but that the New Bloods are immune. The New Bloods fight the Taker as it continues toward Metropolis.
