Synopsis for "The Immortal Coil Part 3 of 3"
In Zandia, multiple natural disasters begin to occur simultaneously. The world's superheroes respond to save the citizens from the disasters. Back in the caves below the H.I.V.E base, Adeline Kane, who is bleeding to death, pleads to be allowed to die, but Deathstroke refuses. Damien Darhk breaks free of his captivity by killing Red Panzer. He moves to activate the final phase of the still unknown H.I.V.E masterplan. Just then, the Titans finally appear. Vandal Savage uses his knowledge of the Titans against them, shooting Cheshire from behind. With Cheshire gravely wounded, Arsenal pleads with Cyborg to to save her life by agreeing to store and synthesize Adeline's blood into an immortality serum, as Savage desires. A fight breaks out with Tartarus, and their robots, facing off against the Titans and their temporary allies, the H.I.V.E. soldiers. Savage makes another attempt to convince Cyborg to collect the blood from Adeline and create the immortality serum. Motivated in part by compassion and in part to bring the debate over Adeline to an end, Starfire puts Adeline out of her misery with a blast. This decision stuns the Titans and enrages Deathstroke. Cyborg is particularly furious at Starfire. She argues that he never would have taken Savage’s deal. He responds that the choice should have been his. Because Starfire has killed their mistress, the H.I.V.E. soldiers turn against the Titans. One H.I.V.E soldier, named Justin, joins up with Savage to become the new Red Panzer. Finally, Darhk reveals the H.I.V.E. masterplan. H.I.V.E. has caused the natural disasters in Zandia in order to attract the attention of the world’s superheroes. Once on Zandia, H.I.V.E. will kill them with a nuclear bomb. With that, Darhk launches the nuclear warhead towards Zandia. Cyborg is able to reach it and detonate it in the air above the ground while containing much of the explosion and the radiation within his Omegadrone body. Darhk, now the leader of H.I.V.E., is stabbed by Lady Vic and seemingly dies. It will later be revealed that he survives due to blood infusions he received earlier from Adeline which makes him effectively immortal. The Titans soon defeat the Tartarus robots and the H.I.V.E. soldiers. Savage teleports away with the rest of Tartarus, except Cheshire who is taken to a hospital by Argent in the T-Jet.
