It's a race against time to stop Doctor Impossible. Many of Earth 2's heroes have banded together as Jimmy Olsen has double-crossed Red Arrow and the Huntress. He actually is using the Source Vault to create a Mother Box circuit. A clash of titans rages on as the boy who would be a god battles Green Lantern. The conflict does not go well for Alan Scott. While the Flash's diversion did nothing to stop Doctor Impossible, Superman and Power Girl manage to grab him while Red Arrow shoots at the Source Vault. Both actions help to free Green Lantern, who uses his powers to imprison Jimmy Olsen like an insect in amber. The civilian population of New Earth 2 thank Superman, Batman and everyone who rescued their world from the mad youth. It is at this moment Alan Scott makes the following statement to his comrades: "As individuals, you stand alone. But together you will bring justice to this new society."

A severely injured Fury sees that there's only one way to stop the Ultra-Humanite - open the Pandora Casket before he does. This brings about what appears to be the end of everything on New Earth 2.

Are the Wonders truly alone on this restarted world, or is there a greater threat awaiting them?
