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, who handily beat the Queen's warriors. After she surrendered and was taken into custody, the Odds kept her [[Flying Platform]], but were left wondering who she really was and where she had come, unsure whether they'd ever get the answers.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Season of the Witch (comic story)|Season of the Witch]]'')]]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 Fatbuckle]], [[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. The Knight and Armstrong snuck in in disguise, while Merv waited for an opportune moment to burst in through a window. In the ensuing fight, while the other two did the heavy lifting, Armstrong focused on untying the Captain. Hexia nearly escaped in a helicopter, but was stopped at the last moment by freshly-minted heroine [[Jung-La]], the identity chosen by the woman they'd met as a Sheriff in their road-trip. While Armstrong and Merv finished taking care of Hexia, the Captain, back in uniform and using his [[Skycicle]], saved Jung-La from a nasty fall caused by the risk she'd taken to stop Hexia from escaping. | ||

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Season of the Witch (comic story)|Season of the Witch]]'')]]The clean-up, during which the Captain complimented the other three Odds for their resourcefulness in his absence (with the Blue Knight declaring that they had but “tried to make [the Captain] proud”), and allowed Jung-La 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.

=== Symbiote entanglements === | |||
[[File:Bye Kate.png|thumb|left|300px|The casual Odds say goodbye to [[Kate Five]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'')]]At some subsequent point, [[Centennia]] rejoined the roster of the Odds. This iteration of the team was relaxing on the roof one day when they received a visit from their old friend [[Kate Five]], who, unbeknownst to them, was under the mental control of a villainous [[symbiote]]. After getting the drop of [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]] out of sight of the other Odds and stuffing his disassembled bones into a filing cabinet, she convinced the rest to play a drinking game with a bottle she'd brought, which was actually drugged. Due to Centennia being very good at poker, she ended up as the last Odd standing, and, figuring out that Kate was up to no good, she managed to stop her with the help of Armstrong's disembodied arm (which had managed to escape from the storage unit), knocking her into the bell of the [[Fortress of Evening]]'s belltower, whose sound cause the symbiote to separate itself from Kate's body. The Odds took care of Kate and, once she woke up, made it clear to her that they didn't blame her for the actions she'd undertaken under the symbiote's control. However, they were unable to locate and capture the symbiote, and, unbeknownst to them, it possessed Kate again almost immediately after she said her goodbyes and left the Fortress.
