Earthguard: Star-Scanner, Darkwar

opponents: Visarian war robots

Action: Darkwar and Star-Scanner are investigating three concealed Visarian space stations orbiting inside Mercury.

After battling the war robots and destroying the ships, they decide to go to Visar to stop La-Teg before she goes through with her madness.

(Note: Visar was caught in a vicious civil war. When the Royal Palace was stormed, La-Teg was shot and later died in Star-Scanner's arms, or so he thought. La-Teg's death was the rallying cry to spark the Visarians to victory but Star-Scanner was so struck with grief he could no longer stay on Visar and came to Earth.)

When Earthguard(r) arrives on Visar, they discover it has moved out of its orbit and is traveling under its own power out of the solar system. Thanks to the technology aboard the spacecraft, the planet is located and an assault on the palace is made. Everyone but Marvel is forced to land short of the palace by the Black Guardsmen and their various war machines. Marvel, separated from the rest of Earthguard(r), scouts the castle, finds the throne room and waits for her team's arrival.

Luckily for Earthguard(r), there is an organized resistance to La-Teg's rule and luckier still it is lead by Dragonflame's clone (last seen issue #A1). He says the rest of the Protectorate clones were overpowered and are held captive by La-Teg. If they can be freed, they will gladly help Star-Scanner against his sister. Star-Scanner thanks Dragonflame but says they do not have the time to lose in looking for the Protectorates. Through the help of Dragonflame, they are transported into the palace. Dragonflame and Wartiger wish the rest of the group success as they go to free the Protectorate clones.

Earthguard(r) finds La-Teg is actually a disguised Skrull with the powers of the Composite Superman. She teleports the fight to four floating disks suspended several hundred yards above the ground. The battle for regency takes place inside the heart of the planet Visar against the Super-Skull, Slitong, Burnout and La-Teg who has the powers of all the Protectorates except White Dwarf. During the fight Marvel knocks out Burnout but cannot save him before he falls to his death. Super-Skrull escapes and La-Teg reveals that Visarians are actually a distant branch of the Kree.
