Wildcats: World's End #4 is an issue of the series WildCats: World's End (Volume 1) with a cover date of December, 2008.
Synopsis for "Eden - Part Two"
Grifter and Paris are engaged in combat as the Kindred and the other Wildcats watch. Both sides (reluctantly) allow it to happen because the Kindred and Kheran way will allow for the winner to take control of the forest. As the fight ensues, Spartan asks Ladytron to try and detect any sign of the Nevada Garden's nanotech. The fight between Grifter and Paris intensifies and Voodoo decides to stop the fight in which she steps in-between the two. Jeremy, who had been knocked out by Paris earlier, regains consciousness and sees Voodoo do this, and mistakenly believes she is in danger. This provokes Jeremy to transform into Maul and begins to destroy the forest. In desperation, Paris captures Voodoo and demands that Maul stand down. But Voodoo's empathic abilities see through Paris's hollowed threats and she proceeds to calm Maul down.
With the duel over, Spartan properly tells Paris that the Wildcats only came to know why the garden came to be and they do not intend to hurt it. Paris explains to the Wildcats that he and the others had no idea where the forest came from. When Armageddon occurred, Paris searched for a safe place for the exotic animals he saved to live. Then one day the garden appeared out of nowhere and Paris declared it as a sanctuary for animals. Spartan presumed that the wish-fulfilling nature of the garden is what created it according to Paris' desire, and believes that finding its nanotech-based system will help transform the world. But Paris voiced his opposition to Spartan's plan, fearing that taking away whatever made the garden would destroy the garden. Furthermore, he believes that whatever made the garden should not be used to fix the planet, especially for humans as Paris had grown disillusioned with humanity's destructive nature that led to Earth's current state.
Before another potential fight breaks out between Paris and Spartan, Ladytron and Jodi Slayton return and report that there is no sign of any of nanotech in the garden. This disproves Spartan's theory that this is the Nevada Garden but the team is now at a loss as to how the garden exists. Voodoo hypothesizes that someone made it, in which she then reaches out with her mind and discovers the one who made the garden, revealing to be Tumbleweed of The Paladins. Tumbleweed explains to everyone that he had heard Paris's desire to help the animals and so he created the garden. Spartan realizes Tumbleweed's powers and asks him to help create similar gardens around the world, but Tumbleweed reveals that he can only sustain the garden he occupies, meaning only one garden can exist at a time. Though, on a helpful advice from Voodoo, Tumbleweed can grow and provide fruits for the people near the forest's edge. The Wildcats leave the garden and its inhabitants in peace.
As the Wildcats return to Los Angeles, they are unaware that Lord Defile and a horde of Daemonites have reached the city.
