Meanwhile, the Thanagarians are preparing for an attack by the Rannians led by Alanna. Despero, now on Rann, uses Sardath, who has been believed dead, to build a giant Zeta Beam projector which Despero uses to transport the Nth Metal core of the Thanagarian moon of Ryngor, which causes Ryngor to explode and rain down death on Thanagar.
