History: (Challengers of the Unknown I #14) - The Challs were at Challenger Mountain when they were hit by a beam of light from the sky that teleported them to another planet. They found themselves in an alien lab, with two enormous K'zana beasts present. The K'zanas shoved June, Prof. and Red into a cage while Rocky and Ace made a mad dash to escape. One K'zanas pursued them, but was soon distracted by an alien bird flying from a bush and pursued it instead. Ace and Rocky met aliens who revealed that the lab was theirs, and they'd captured one of the raremountain beast K'zana there tio study, only to have the two the Challs met show up looking for their friend, and they were forced to flee. The K'zana couldn't actually work any of the lab's tech on purpose, so the aliens reasoned that the K'zanas had accidentally tripped the teleportation ray. While the K'zana remaining in the lab tossed around equipment one piece landed near the cage, and Prof. used it to freeze the bars, smash the cage and escape. They found the imprisoned K'zanas, and June fed him because he was clearly hungry. The other K'zana arrived, and June freed her new friend, who fought to protect June, wrecking parts of the lab. All the K'zanas got bored and wandered back to the hills. The other aliens decided to build a force field to keep the beasts from their research station, and returned the Challs to Earth.
