Tank is searching for stone called galvacite for Magnokor. Magnokor (as Crygen and Pyre) plans to use it increase his magnetic energy to it’s greatest extent. After Crygen and Pyre absorb it’s energy, they enter Infernac, intending to destroy Metlar. A battle takes place, but Metlar, realizing that Magnokor has used the power of galvacite, escapes. Meanwhile on Earth’s surface, Nightcrawler and Blackthorn Shore are on trial, and Senator Masterson has granted them a pardon for their scientific abilities, when D. Compose breaks through the floor of the courthouse. He accuses Shore of giving him of a fake formula that was to have prevented him from being harmed by the sun’s rays. He tries to crush Blackthorne, but he and Nightcrawler escape. Blackthorne and Nightcrawler then decide that they have to destroy D. Compose before he tries to kill them again. Back at Infernac, Crygen and Pyre are wanting to harness Infernacs energy to defeat the Inhumanoids, but Tank had been given orders to destroy Infernac. While they argue, Metlar returns with some statue warriors and attacks Pyre and Crygen. They manage to surround Metlar however, and cover him with a magnetic shield. When they intensify it’s power, something goes wrong and it reverses polarity. They lower the shield but the negative polarity also has inverted Metlar and Magnokor’s natures. Metlar has turned good and Magnokor turns evil (as Tank soon found out). Both Metlar and Tank flee leaving Crygen and Pyre to rule Infernac. Meanwhile on Earth’s surface, the effects of the inverted polarity are causing malfunctions in magnetic devices all over the world. As the effects are experienced at Earth Corps headquarters, Sandra points out that the Earth’s magnectic north has shifted more than 30 degrees. Dr. Bright theorizes that if it continues to shift, then the Earth’s Van Allen belt will be pulled into the atmosphere, causing the earth to rapidly heat up to deadly extremes. At that moment, Metlar crashes through the floor and is attacked by the Earth Corps. Though, when they realize he’s not fighting back they stop and allow him to speak. He tells them of how Magnokor has reversed Earth’s magnetic field which also reversed Metlar and Magnokor’s natures. Metlar and the Earth Corps then form an allience and plan to meet at Infernac’s entrance to fix Earth’s magnetic field. As the Earth Corps travel towards Infernac, the magnetic field shorts out both the Trappeur and the Terrascout, forcing them to finish the journey on foot. They are then attacked by a group of strange, armored creatures riding giant sluglike things. They take the Earth Corps to a market filled with all types of bizarre beings to be auctioned off. As the bidding is taking place, Tank just so happens to be nearby and he rescues them. They escape on a group of slug-like creatures and continue their journty to Infernac. Meanwhile, back on Earth radiation levels continue to rise. The Earth Corps finally find Magnokor, and try to reason with him. Of course that doesn’t do anything, so they fight. During the battle, Tank tells Liquidator and Herc that if they put the two halves of the galvacite back together, it will reabsorb the magnetic energy it gave to Crygen and Pyre. Liquidator reseals it and they roll it back into the center of the earth. Magnokor returns to normal ,but Metlar does also, and so he attacks Magnokor and the Earth Corps. They retreat and Metlar reclaims Infernac. Meanwhile, Blackthorn and Nightcrawler are preparing to release a terrible creature called a Gagoyle, that will destroy D. Compose. As they witness the Gagoyle’s hatching in radiation, Blackthorn realiazes he doesn’t know how he will be able to control it. So, they run away leaving yet another bizarre monstrosity to wreak havoc upon the Earth.
