Synopsis:
Ms. Victory stands amidst the wreckage of the Black Shroud's machinery, hoping that her destruction of it will stop the Well of Souls from expanding. The Well, however, continues to grow, and the Shroud appears to boast that his apparatus was needed only to start the process, which will now continue automatically. As Jen charges, the Femforce's battle with the villains gathered on Jungle Island suddenly explodes into the caverns. The heroines are hard-pressed against the evil hordes until they are reinforced by the Sentinel and Vault heroes. As the battle rages, injuries and fatalities mount until Nightveil seizes a voodoo doll Umbra had used on her. Altering the effigy to resemble the Black Shroud and donning Weir's Purple Claw, Nightveil fells all of the villains with a single mystical attack. The heroes leave the villains in complete defeat to tend to their wounded at FF HQ.

At the Weir Asylum, Weir's assistants Cap and Curly save the comatose Darkfire from murder at the hands of a Vardax chameleon. Darkfire quickly revives and explains that her expanded mental powers have made her a significant threat to the Shroud's plans. Realizing the danger, the Shroud has sent the Anti-Paragon, Jong Sue Chae, and Psiborg to eliminate her. In turn, Darkfire has mentally summoned her own defenders, and the trio of villains' attack on her is intercepted by Atoman and the Justice Squadron. Suddenly a huge shadow looms over the battle, and both hero and villain alike are fearful of the giant apparition.

Meanwhile, in Bayport, Buckaroo Betty tells Nikki Latimer how she came through the Time Triangle and how her new surroundings seem strangely familiar to her, like something out of a dream.

Magic & Technology

Shroud's machine; Umbra's voodoo doll; Clown's guns; Time Triangle Singapore Sal's sword; Reddevil's boomerang; Skull's pistols; White Heat's guns; Trailblazer's flame thrower; Purple Claw; Mento helmet, Psiborg's destruct ray

Notes:
She-Cat's and the Black Cobra's disgust with Synn's apparent uselessness is ironic in light of the key role she later plays in the Shroud's defeat.... Betty's memory of Latimer Labs stems from her link with She-Cat through Cat's dream (depicted in FF 20 and FF 22(2)).... Paragon's arrogance as he emerges from the well may be bravado to intimidate the villains, but calling the Femforce bush league while proclaiming his group as the A-team does him little credit.... As shown in FF 71, only the Fighting Yank's body is destroyed; his spirit comes to inhabit the body of the Hood.... Being a "normal' human among such tremendous power causes Tara to suffer a lack of confidence throughout the battle, which she mercifully exits with only a broken leg.... Heroes and villains alike realize that some of the Vault heroes are slower and less coordinated after their awakening, causing the deaths of both the Lynx and Doc Strange.... The unnamed woman who helps Bolt battle Trailblazer could be Black Diamond since she, Colt and Tara were the only ones involved in a prior case against Trailblazer (Colt Spe 1).... Chromo is thrown into the Well of Souls, apparently sacrificed to the Elder Gods, though his death is not made specific.... Curly guesses that the Vardax chameleon who impersonated him was somehow protected from Chromo's device that She-Cat triggered to destroy all the Vardax at the end of the Armageddon Factor.... Darkfire's transformation from villainess to heroine begins this issue, as she emphasizes her humanity over her villainy.
