Clarese teleports Captain America, Hawkeye and Quicksilver to one group of enemy troops where the combination of strategic fighting, trick arrows and speed disable several hover tanks.    She  teleports Alton, Narg and Mojo to another enemy cluster.   Narg and Mojo still have the Potion of Flying in their systems to take to the air.  Alton’s space armor allows for flight as well so he joins them.   The three manage to incapacitate several more hover tanks.    Mojo grabs an enemy soldier and flies him up in the air stating “Show me who your leader is or I’ll drop you.”   The man points to a tall man with a Fu-Manchu mustache wearing bright red armor and says, “That’s him.”    Mojo replies, “Thanks,” as he flies back down, dropping the man from a height that causes serious injury rather than death.The three attack the leader’s personal guard.  Narg says, “That’s from Kang.  He knows that you have been plotting against him!”    The army commander exclaims, “He does?  How did he find out?”   Mojo quips, “He’s a time traveler you idiot!”    That part of the mission accomplished, Clarese arrives and teleports the Avengers and Silver Moon Adventurers to Princess Ravonna’s chamber, where Cassie has already explained the situation. Narg announces to Kang that his army commanders have revolted against him.  Kang announces that instead of being the kingdom’s conqueror he will now be their savior!  That he will fight off the army for the Princess.     Mojo says to Narg and Alton, “Seems like an awful lot of work to get her.  He’d probably be better off with soft lighting, a bottle of White Zinfandel and Barry White music.” Captain America declares that the Avengers will assist Kang in driving away the conquering army.    “Mission Accomplished,” Cassie exclaims.    Clarese looks at the Tallus on her wrist and says, “It looks that way,” as the six heroes then vanish.</blockquote>
