The story opens with [[Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Kaza]] and [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]] at home, atypically getting dressed in formal clothes. They are picked up by [[George Wimberly|Wimberly]] and driven to [[the Adventurers Club]], where [[Commissioner Smedley|the Commissioner]] is already waiting to tell them of a surprise: two of Gwenna’s friends from her high school years in [[Pinefield]] are here, [[Deena Hancock|Deena]] and [[Fred Hancock|Junior]]; Gwenna delightedly greets them and introduces them to Kaza. They only begin to chat when the wall of the building explodes, revealing the [[Ro-Man|Ruthless Ro-Man]], a ray-gun wielding extraterrestrial who announces that he has returned for revenge upon Kaza. | The story opens with [[Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Kaza]] and [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]] at home, atypically getting dressed in formal clothes.

After a brief, inconclusive skirmish Kaza is knocked unconscious and Ro-Man makes off with Deena as bait, to lure Kaza and his allies into coming after him (having confused Deena for Gwenna). When Kaza recovers consciousness he agrees that allies are necessary but so is speed, and thus, heads off to follow Ro-Man. Gwenna brings everyone up to speed on the situation, explaining that Ro-Man is an alien who tried to invade Earth several years earlier and was repelled by a gathering of heroes, the [[Space Patrol]] , and [[ | After a brief, inconclusive skirmish Kaza is knocked unconscious and Ro-Man makes off with Deena as bait, to lure Kaza and his allies into coming after him (having confused Deena for Gwenna).

She calls up a satellite view on her laptop by accessing the network of the superhero team, the [[League of Champions]], and finds Ro-Man’s flying saucer only a kilometer away. | ||
Wimberly drives Gwenna and Junior out to the spaceship, where they find a giant lizard. It spits acid and is bulletproof but the timely arrival of the superhero [[Dynamo]] keeps things from getting out of hand. Dynamo promptly explains that Ro-Man is an energy being, only riding the gorilla-shaped alien body for convenience, and the helmet shields it from outside electromagnetic influences. Meanwhile Kaza has found Ro-Man’s former host Hezton and has been filled in on this as well; Ro-Man has moved on to possess Deena, whom he still believes to be Kaza's mate, hence thinking there would be particular cruelty in killing him in that form. | Wimberly drives Gwenna and Junior out to the spaceship, where they find a giant lizard.

* The [[League of Champions]], seemingly the planet's foremost superhero team, is currently “off-world”. Gwenna has access to their satellite, however, suggesting she is an occasional member. The story never clarifies whether the League is to some extent the same as the gathering of hero including [[Samson]], [[Blue Beetle]], [[Flame Girl]], [[Zanzibar the Magician]], [[Dynamo]] and Kaza and Gwenna themselves, who fought off [[Ro-Man]]'s prior invasion, although Dynamo was not “off-world” until his appearance in the present-day portion of the story, instead informing Gwenna that he was “tied up in [[San Francisco]]”. | * The [[League of Champions]], seemingly the planet's foremost superhero team, is currently “off-world”.
