Hulkling awoke to the sight of the German flag ran up a long wooden pole in what appeared to be a huge chamber within the castle. behind him, a pair of large sliding metal doors were open to the outside, and a series of "Slingshot" devices that held nazi warplanes that were ready to be launched into the sky. One of the slingshots held a strange, sleek saucer-shaped object. There was no question that the object was a weapon of war. It was their objective--the super weapon from 3146.
Standing in front of the captured heroes stood top Nazi scientist Dr. Baron Zemo and 30 German troopers. As he saw Hulkling regain consciousness, the Baron began to laugh. Suddenly, Baron Zemo's laugh was cut short by a sharp voice. Whirling around, Baron Zemo was confronted by Baron Blood, The Vampiric Nazi Menace. "The only reason we haven't killed you yet is because we agreed we wanted our greatest triumph to be your final memory."
Blood then began gloating, relating the entirety of his plan to the Heroes. The super-weapon, Blood explained, was a sort.of airborne attack vehicle with impenetrable armor on every side except for its top, and advanced laser weaponry capable of razing cities.
Just after finishing his egotistical gloating, he launched the super-weapon but none of the planes with a great deal of fanfare and thunderous applause from the german soldiers. Then, a loud explosion rocked the entire castle. A German staff officer rushed forward and announced that the complex was under attack!

Since he was stationed at the castle in order to supervise the preparation of the super-weapon captured from the future, Baron Blood had been periodically abducting and feasting on the residents of Olaf's village.
After Olaf and his men realized that members of the Invaders were infiltrating the castle themselves, they decided to move forward their time-table to take advantage of the confusion that was ensured to follow. After announcing the attack, 20 soldiers rushed off to.engage the resistance fighters.

The Heroes began to break free of their bonds and join the fray of battle. Hulkling broke free the wooden flagpole bearing the German Flag, and wielded it as a stake that he drove through Baron Blood's heart, effectively killing him.
Iron Lad hopped into a German ME-109 Fighter Plane while the synthexoid heroes flew and attacked the Super-weapon.

One the Super-Weapon was destroyed and all the Nazis had been driven from the flight deck the team of Heroes was prepared to return to Italy with their mission complete. Human Torch and toro offered to stay in Olaf'svillage and assist in reconstructing. Olaf politely declined. "This is our country," He said. "And our people who have been conquered. We can not thank you enough for your inspiration and opportunity you have shown us, but please, allow us this victory."
