Synopsis for the 1st Story
Ben Santini continues his story to Flint of what happened in the Project Entry Universe.
Santini and his allies fire at the psychotic post-human. However, the man is invulnerable to their bullets and manically tells them that he is responsible for not only the deaths in the city, but also everyone on the planet for his sadistic amusement. Now with everyone dead, he regrets killing everyone too quickly and thus leaving him bored. But he is now interested in killing more on the Black Razors' Earth. Santini decides to make a deal with him by bargaining their lives in exchange for giving him the opportunity to explore other universes through Project Entry, as long as he doesn't touch their Earth. The S.P.B. accepts Santini's offer and leaves for the time being. The rest of Santini's team are left deeply flabbergast of what he had made with the insane S.P.B., but Santini quietly communicate them through text message that the being is already hearing them and what he said was all a trick for his plan against the S.P.B.; in which he plans on leaving the S.P.B. with a fake teleporting harness, complete with a bomb, and dumping him in the Entry Universe's Australia. While this is happening, Santini makes a deceptive plot against the being out-loud as the S.P.B. secretly overhears them.
Moments later, the S.P.B. receives his harness and is given a 'demonstration' of how it works. The S.P.B. tells that he overheard their "deception" and then fell for Santini's actual plan. Before entering the portal, the S.P.B. spitefully damages Santini's other knee. He then unwittingly finds himself in Australia and his harness detonates in a massive explosion. Following this, Santini's team spent some time finding any other survivors on the Entry Earth, but did not find any. They also notice that this Earth lacks any other native signs of post-human activity, which left them wondering of the S.P.B.'s origins. They eventually discovered from this Earth's Washington, D.C. a capsule previously belonging to the S.P.B. known as Devil, with its designation belonging to International Operations.
Santini report this back on his Earth in front of the Select Senate Subcommittee for Superhuman Affairs and accusing the United States government for indirect ties for the six billion deaths on the Entry Universe's Earth and with knowledge that Ivana Baiul is responsible for Project Entry's sabotage. However, the head of the Subcommittee Sonny Terns rejects Santini's accusation and demands for the arrest of Baiul and her collaborators, and ordering him to keep his silence on the incident. Furthermore, Santini cannot even testify to the media since they are influenced and under the control of the government. Santini's pursuit for justice became for naught.
In the present, Santini concludes to Flint that he only brought footage of Devil's heinous act to the UN and left out I.O.'s involvement. Though in the next few years, Santini did get back at Senator Terns. Also Devil isn't dead and was only severely wounded. So currently Santini has been trying to find a way to permanently kill Devil. Flint then understands Santini's ulterior motive for telling his story to her and is wanting her to kill Devil because of her invulnerability. But Santini reply that there is no ulterior motive and that she can step out from battling Devil, and that he strongly believes in her for being an honest superhero who sincerely wants to change the world for the better. Flint then agrees to fight Devil. Before entering the Entry Universe, Flint gives Santini a heartfelt kiss. Flint finds herself in Nairobi and confronts Devil.
Back on Stormwatch's Earth, Tefibi review with Santini over the theft at the Federal Reserve through hacking the Civil Defense Administration's database and reveals that with $200 billion in gold (which prop up every non-U.S. currency) stolen, in which the world's governments conspired to cover up, would signify a global depression that is along the lines of the 1930s. Santini then has Tefibi hack the security footage of the robbery. The footage shows the two of the deceased robbers coming back to life and killing Blake Coleman. They also learn the identities of the robbers were actually Reserve employees. Tefibi also notice that all the employees have the same blood type. Flint suddenly returns from completing her mission and along with bringing Devil's decapitated head.
Somewhere below Ohio, the mastermind of the Reserve robbery learns from his followers that Team Achilles is investigating the robbery. The man, identifying himself as Citizen Soldier, decide to accelerate the second stage of his plan.
