Ultraa remains trapped inside his red crystal; Brachis and Mondrian are prisoners of Admiral Voskai; Shiva battles his namesake--the Hindu god--within the tortured depths of his own mind. Meanwhile the Black Terror stands poised to conquer proud Kurizon itself--the throneworld of the mighty Kur-Bai Empire. Now Pulsar and her sister, trapped between two of the deadliest foes they've ever faced, must rally the people of Kurizon to overthrow their own mad dictator. But time grows short for them to resist the massive assault of the Black Terror, as he pursues his bloody VENDETTA!
