Green Lantern Kyle Rayner arrives outside the Starheart's headquarters on the moon just as Obsidian convinces Jade to unite with him. The Starheart's constructs disappear, but the gathered heroes now face a being with the combined powers of the siblings. Meanwhile, inside, Faust realizes that his group is facing a fake Alan Scott created with Dr. Fate's power. Dr. Mid-Nite separates Nelson from his helm, and recovers Starman's gem. Back on Earth, Mr. Terrific summons Power Girl and Supergirl from their fight with the other Alan Scott, who leaves them to head to the moon to join his children.
