In the middle of the night, the Odds followed the tracking device to the Queen's house, where they distracted her by cutting off her electricity. In the confusion, they stole her [[Shadow-Ray]] and, getting [[Professor Madison]] to walk them through it over video-phone, reprogrammed it to create shadow-beings loyal to ''them'' rather than the Queen. When they attacked the Queen and her shadows openly, it was with the help of [[the Shadow Odds]], living versions of their own shadows (including a [[Shadow-Armstrong]]). They handily beat the Queen's warriors, with Merv and the Shadow-Merv teaming up to prevent the Queen from escaping aboard her [[Flying Platform]]. After the Queen surrendered and was taken into custody, the Captain was interviewed by [[Amanda Allen]], explaining how they'd beaten the Queen. At Armstrong's suggestion, the Odds then took possession of the Queen's Flying Platform, which they used to chase down remaining evil shadows, returning them to normal using the [[Reverse-Shadow-Ray]].

=== Foiling Hexia === | |||

]]When the supervillain and [[witch]] [[Hexia]] took over the Channel 6 studios midway through a special edition of ''[[Hero Hour]]'', [[Captain Evening (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Captain Evening]], who was the programme's special guest, was incapacitated and kept trapped by Hexia with the other hostages. After they were alerted to the situation by the [[Commissioner (Sausage-Fest!)|Commissioner]], it fell to Armstrong, [[Merv the Griffin]] and [[the Blue Knight]] to rescue him and the others, forced to plan on their own without the Captain's strategic guidance. Armstrong climbed in through the pipes, emerging in the lavatory and startling one of Hexia's goons, whose clothes and wig he stole in order to slip closer to the villainess unnoticed. He was eventually recognised, leading to a fight breaking out as the Blue Knight (disguised as an extra hostage) and Merv (who'd been waiting outside the window) revealed themselves. While the other two did the heavy lifting, Armstrong focused on untying the Captain. | |||
After Hexia tried to flee to the roof and hopped onboard a getaway helicopter, Merv and Armstrong tried to give chase, but the Griffin initially proved too slow, especially when forced to carry Armstrong in one arm. However, [[Jung-La]] intervened and briefly knocked Hexia out of the vehicle. Though she used a [[vanishing spell]] to teleport back into the cockpit, this slowed her down sufficiently for Mervin to grab onto the railing of the helicopter. He and Armstrong climbed inside and, despite Hexia shooting Armstrong's skull off, quickly showed themselves to be more (and weirder) than she could deal with in her already-tired state, such that she gave herself up. | |||

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Season of the Witch (comic story)|Season of the Witch]]'')]]Subsequently, Armstrong found the fragments of his skull and taped them back together. The clean-up, during which the Captain complimented the other three Odds for their resourcefulness in his absence, and offered [[Jung-La]] the chance to join the team, was cut short when the Commissioner called the Odds' attention to the [[New Protectors]]' latest broadcast, which announced that they had essentially declared martial law on New York, and furthermore, that independent superheroes would now be considered criminals.
