As Candy Southern drives away from Defenders headquarters with Dolly Donahue and Sassafrass, a dark storm begins to rage, and she calls the other Defenders to ask them for help. As they fly home, Beast, Iceman, and Cloud find Aragorn flying wildly in the storm. Iceman creates an ice-bridle and is able to restrain Aragorn. As the Defenders’ plane lands, it is destroyed by a bolt of lightning. The Dragon of the Moon creates an energy bridge from the Defenders headquarters for Moondragon to walk upon. Suddenly, Moondragon is forced to stop when confronted by a giant image of Valkyrie, who was given special powers by Odin for this purpose. Meanwhile, Candy Southern arrives at the nearby military base to ask General Argyle Fist for help. As Valkyrie battles the Dragon of the Moon, she summons her sister valkyries to help her. Cloud believes that she may be able to help Moondragon, so she guides the blinded Angel to fly her into the Dragon. There, Cloud implores Moondragon to stop, but Moondragon claims that she enjoys being evil and will not give it up. An angry Cloud shouts that she hates Moondragon and then strikes with lightning to the Dragon’s heart. The Dragon is seemingly destroyed, Valkyrie and Moondragon vanish, and the storm passes as the military arrive at the Defenders headquarters.
