Characters:

Synopsis:
With most of Alpha Flight captured by Omega Flight at the East Edmonton Mall, Shaman, Aurora and Box ride in to the rescue. Snowbird also leaves her quiet life with Doug to help her friends. The remainder of Alpha Flight learns too late that Guardian is really an evil robot as the villain snatches Shaman's medicine pouch and roots around inside for Smart Alec (who was placed in there during the events of AF #12). Things get worse when Guardian turns the medicine pouch inside out which unleashes magical forces which threaten to destroy the world. Talisman is able to use her abilities to contain the madness but Shaman fails to rescue her and she is pulled into the pouch.
