Kara, who is fast losing her powers and dying, has 10 hours until the sun goes down, and unlike Superman, has no help coming. All she has is Ruthye. For the next 10 hours, Kara lies down on a rock, trying not to die, while Ruthye does all she can to protect her friend, even coming as close as to giving up on her mission of vengeance to keep the Kryptonian alive.

Once more having found Krem, Kara is chased by another Mordru Globe. Using a horse named Comet, Kara evades the globe by traveling to the end of the universe and a little bit farther. As all this happens, Ruthye recounts Kara's origin, as told by the hero who thinks she is going to perish. It is revealed that Argo City managed to live on a little longer after Krypton exploded, and thus, endured a lot of trauma, grief, and pain. Kara was only 14, yet had to see her planet die three times, explaining both her depression and anger, yet also, her endurance and strength, her belief that perhaps, she could still do some good. Having evaded the globe, Kara returns to where Krem is, and grabs an arrow he shoots at her, as a final showdown is about to commence...
