One day, Lord Majestros, when I have united my world under my banner, perhaps we will make war. But for now, I leave you to your wasteland with a word of advice. Rule it with an iron fist.

Wildcats: World's End #9 is an issue of the series WildCats: World's End (Volume 1) with a cover date of May, 2009.
Synopsis for "Hawaii 2.0"
Argos the sorcerer is trying to take over Hawaii using his army of magical creatures. Majestic threatens to follow Argos back to his world and destroy it piece by piece if he does not cease his attack. At first Argos does not believe Majestic will do it. But then he sees the ruthlessness in Majestic's eyes. Realizing Majestic will do what he says, Argos decides to retreat. Before he leaves, Argos leaves a word of advice to Majestic: "Rule [Earth] with an iron fist." Just then, Majestic hears Jodi calling the Wildcats for help.
Majestic asks Jodi and Nemesis what they are doing and Jodi claims that they were calling the Wildcats for help against Argos. Majestic tells Spartan that their help is not needed but Spartan insists on visiting in the interest of friendship. With some hesitation, Majestic agrees.
The Wildcats discuss whether Jodi and Nemesis are being help against their will. As their new team leader, the Wildcats look to Voodoo for ideas. Voodoo deduces that if they are being held against their will, it's with something other than the threat of violence. She tells the team that she'll further discuss her plan en route. She then tells Ladytron to stay behind and protect the refugees. When Ladytron asks why other than guarding the building, Voodoo tells her that since Majestic was once like a father figure to Ladytron, she believes once in Hawaii, Ladytron will either give the Wildcats away or try to kill Majestic herself. Ladytron doesn't appreciate Voodoo's explanation and storms away.
Outside in Los Angeles, Lord Defile and Lady Decadence observe the Wildcats flying out to sea. He tells his forces that the Halo building is vulnerable and to prepare a reconnaissance team to see if the building is ripe for a takeover.
The Wildcats arrive in Hawaii and are amazed to find the island completely rebuilt, with no signs of the damage caused by Armageddon. Majestic attempts to welcome them peacefully but Zealot demands to see Jodi and Nemesis. Majestic presents them immediately, telling Zealot he hopes they can move past the lingering hostility. Nemesis palms Voodoo a note that reads "He can hear every word we say".
Later at a luau, Grifter asks Majestic how Hawaii seems so unaffected since the Earth was moved off its axis. Majestic claims to have fixed that along with dealing with the resulting tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, and storms. Voodoo and Spartan then ask Majestic to explain why he has focused all his energy on rebuilding Hawaii and not the rest of the world. Majestic explains that he cannot be everywhere at once since most parts of the planet are in dire straits. If he had left Hawaii unguarded for too long, someone like Argos could easily kill everyone on the island. Spartan then challenges Majestic by inviting him on a mission to Asia to see how they can help there while the Wildcats protect Hawaii. Majestic seems reluctant at first but agrees when Spartan asks what he's afraid of. As Majestic leaves Nemesis accompanies him, much to the Wildcats' surprise. Nemesis claims she still loves him.
As the Wildcats are led to their rooms for the night, Grifter calls Jodi over to give her something. He informs her that he saw her father, Marc Slayton and that he's doing well. Marc is unable to reunite with Jodie at the moment, but instead he gives Grifter one of his old Backlash masks to deliver it to Jodie, and as well telling her that he is proud of his daughter for carrying on the Backlash name and for everything she's doing. As Jodi's tears flow, Grifter comforts her.
The next day, Majestic and Spartan make sure things are in order with the Wildcats before they leave. Majestic tells them that if they need him just simply call for him and he will hear them.
Their first stop is Japan which, as Majestic previously pointed out, is completely underwater with several skyscrapers sticking over the surface. Majestic then updates Spartan about the status of Stormwatch and Authority; Stormwatch are overloaded and undermanned, and they have been in occasional contact with Majestic in which they leave each other alone. The Authority are a weakened state and they are stranded in England, in which Majestic considers their situation too dangerous to get involved due to England being rife with deadlier diseases that he cannot risk carrying something back to Hawaii.
Back in Hawaii, Zealot and Nemesis are running through a combat ritual before an audience. Voodoo and Grifter use some working cell phones to text each other so as not to alert Majestic to their conversation. Voodoo says they need to find a way to talk with Nemesis. Grifter lets her know that Coda warriors, such as Zealot and Nemesis, have a way of communicating through their fighting techniques.
Meanwhile Jodi is busy showing Jeremy and Reno a waterfall being used as an environmental friendly power source for the island. When their voices are covered by the roar of the water, Jeremy and Reno ask Jodi how Majestic is keeping them here and if he is threatening the civilians. Jodi tells them that Majestic is loved by the people and anyone who disliked his rule are free to leave. But Majestic has a reason for keeping Jodi and Nemesis; he contacted them and said he would leave "her" alone if they joined him. Jeremy asks Jodi who she's taking about.
Just then, Nemesis uses the Coda combat language to inform Zealot who Jodi was referring to. Zealot is left in shock and demands Nemesis where Majestic is holding her. She answers she is in the palace basement, in which Zealot races there where Savant is being held captive.

The elite international squad Team Achilles has been stuck in the Project Entry Universe for years now (after the events of Stormwatch: Team Achilles #23). Ben Santini and Flint are married, but their relationship is straining, and the team has been searching abandoned Stormwatch bases looking for a working teleporter. They have Baron Chaos (along with the other villains) in tow with them who apparently has made a truce with the team. After a year searching fruitlessly in Siberia, they finally find a working teleporter and Baron Chaos uses the power in his suit to help activate the teleporter. Santini announces to his team that they're finally going home.
