Synopsis for "After the End of the World - Part One"
The Earth is in ruins after the battle between The High and his clones. Los Angeles is practically destroyed and survivors scavenge for supplies. But some of the surviving post-humans have decided to feast on some of the surviving humans. A small group of humans are confronted by these cannibals, but they are saved by several members of the Wildcats: Grifter, Zealot and Ladytron. After they killed the hostile superhumans, the Wildcats take the survivors to the Halo Corporation building, which is the only structure that still has power due to running on Halo batteries.
After settling the survivors, the Wildcats discuss how to support the growing population of refugees in the building and how to best utilize the supply of Halo batteries that are available. Their food supplies cannot provide enough for everyone, in which the team could only continue their scavenging trips. Spartan (who have abandoned his identity of Jack Marlowe) has completely lost his Void powers after the new Void appeared and therefore making him unable to access Otherspace and preventing the Wildcats from making Halo batteries. Furthermore, Spartan's more advanced robotic abilities were further damaged by a particularly destructive EMP released by a Reaper clone. Lastly, Majestic has become a "fascist nut job" trying to rebuild his "New Khera" on Earth and has been antagonizing the Wildcats.
Just as Spartan checks up on Jeremy's progress on the Halo batteries, Majestic suddenly breaks into the building and demands the Wildcat to give him what he wants. Nemesis and Zealot stand against him with only Nemesis' swords (the only weapons that can cut Majestic) to defend themselves.
