Synopsis:
While most of the Justice League heads for the South Pacific to fight the alien invasion, Oberon and Booster Gold remain at the New York embassy on monitor duty. The Khunds use the JLI transporter from the Australian embassy to send an invasion force to New York. This force has been miniaturized using technology from Imsk. Booster is immediately defeated, but Oberon holds his own and defeats the invaders using one of Blue Beetle's spare flash guns.
The main force of the JLI arrive in Fiji and team-up with Wonder Woman. Guy and Rocket Red join her on a rescue mission, while the rest of the team goes after the Khund fleet. J'onn is able to commandeer one of the enemy airships. Mister Miracle is then able to turn it into a bomb which destroys the rest of the fleet. After completing their mission, the team is summoned to a super-hero summit which is being convened back home.
