Zarkov is worried that Rankol will see Joe’s modified rift blaster and discover he has the Imex. Flash, Baylin and Zarkov go to Mongo only to have a baby thrust into their arms by a man chased by Patriots. The baby is to be killed because it has Deviate blood. The guards kill the man while the others escape with the baby. They go to the Steephouse in the hopes that someone there can help take the baby to a Deviate settlement.

Baylin and Zarkov soon learn that Patriots found the rift blaster and took it to Ming, but as they try to recover it they are captured by Patriots. Flash brings the child to the Deviate settlement, where the baby is welcomed. Flash offers to try to arrange a meeting between the Deviate leader, Terrik, and Aura. Aura agrees to the meeting, but she and Flash are knocked unconscious and kidnapped by Terrik. Aura manages to talk Terrick down only to discover that they are siblings.

After receiving a ransom demand from the Deviates, Ming visits Baylin’s cell and offers a deal. He’ll let her go if she rescues Aura from the Deviates. Baylin agrees and manages to rescue both Aura and Flash. In gratitude, Aura steals the modified rift blaster and frees Zarkov, allowing all three to return to Earth with the blaster.

Once they’ve left, however, Ming orders the Deviate settlement destroyed. Lenu, one of Ming’s scientists, travels to Earth where she fires up an implant she placed in Joe. Together, they find the Imex in Zarkov’s lab.
