Synopsis:
Northwind leads a group of Infinitors across the country to Hector Hall's New York mansion. Nuklon and Northwind enter the pyramid that has been constructed inside the mansion, while the others battle beast men outside. Nuklon rescues Fury while Northwind uses his newly developed magic to fight the Silver Scarab.

Hastor brings the Eye of Ra to the battle after she tricked the rest of Infinity Inc. into unearthing it. The Scarab attempts to take control of the Eye, but he fails. Northwind claims that Lyta's unborn child has kept Hector bound to humanity. His impurity is what causes him to lose control of the Eye.

Northwind is then able to shut down the Eye using magic and returns it to its tomb. Nuklon then discovers that the Scarab has turned into a lifeless husk. The members of Infinity Inc. then regroup to hold a funeral for Hector.
