Synopsis
A spaceship arrives in Earth's solar system, and a teenager is awoken from a cryogenic chamber by Biotron and Synergy. We see in flashback the teen's father handing him an uplink to Synergy, telling him it will be important; more flashbacks are shown throughout the issue. When Synergy tells him where they are, the boy asks what's so important about Earth. She tells him about how Earth is special, and how he will find allies there. After narrowly avoiding an enemy attack and an asteroid field, Synergy brings up a holographic display, full of beings from across the multiverse. Synergy then begins to recount who they are, and how they might figure in their mission. Stretch Armstrong is shown as a tech-enhanced superhero. M.A.S.K. is shown, as an example of fighting to defend their fellow man. When the teen asks how a "singer is going to help him", Synergy replies that she will help compose the "music of the spheres". The Action Man is shown; however, it is only a theoretical image, as he is rarely seen in light or on film; he is very dangerous because all of the previous Action Men pass their knowledge down somehow; the last one "turned bad" and started going under the name "Dr. X", forcing the current Action Man to be activated "younger than intended". They also look at the crew of the ISN Everest in their own part of space, and the teen is shown the world he came from- the world of the Micronauts. Unit:E itself Synergy can't even detect- their "Phase Station", "Skybolt" operates outside of time-space, for them to protect it. The teen even scoffs at the look of the fairy Princess Lolly. But Synergy tells him they aren't to be underestimated. She shows him the creatures of Primordia; he asks if the fairies did that to them. Synergy isn't sure, but regardless they might prove to be enemies, not allies. The teen isn't impressed with the assortment of beings they've collected data one; he thinks they're too frail and weak. But Synergy remind him of his father's promise- to reclaim their world- and these heroes are his only chance. He then dons the armor of Acroyear and proclaims "We've got heroes to gather!"
