Synopsis:
Following the defeat of the alien invaders the Atom helps with cleanup efforts in Australia. He defeats a Khund sniper who has been left behind, then he finds the body of a Thanagarian warrior left behind by Chronos. Having received the message that their truce is over, the Atom returns to the United States.

The Atom then begins the hunt for Chronos. He checks with the police using this phone number of the building he has held in when Chronos kidnapped him to get an address. However, the police refuse to help. The Atom goes in alone and is nearly killed when Chronos blows up the building. However, the Atom survives and confronts his enemy face-to-face. Chronos tries to escape using his time technology, but the detonation of a bomb causes it to fail. The bomb explodes filling the sky with black light.
