Sinai Hospital Tai uses her mysterious power to revive Chord.  When he wakes up she tells him  to tell the other New Warriors that they will have to stop her to save Night Thrasher.  She then apologizes to him for killing both his wife and daughter, who she reveals to him is Silhouette.  At the Crash Pad Speedball, Nova, Namorita, and Firestar are watching the news coverage regarding the jury selection for Marvel Boy's trial when Silhouette shadow melts through the ceiling and crashes to the floor.  Silhouette tells them that they need to save her father, Chord, from Tai.  In Cambodia, The Folding Circle is making their way through the jungle as they are being watched from the trees by a group the Left Hand refers to as the Dragon's Breadth.  The New Warriors are at Mt. Sinai Hospital waiting to see Silhouette when she bursts though the door to inform them that Chord is now awake.  Chord tells them that, his speech now impeded, that Tai is in Cambodia because of the Pact.  He tells them that the Pact is what made Dwayne what he is and that it's also the reason that his parents were killed.  When Namorita asks Chord if he knows who killed Dwayne's parents, Chord tells them that he did.  Later, in Brooklyn, the Warriors pay a visit to Eldon Holiday, a.k.a. Rage, whom they had met previously with the Avengers.  The Warriors ask Rage, a trainee member of the Avengers, if he will help them steal an Avengers quinjet so that they can fly to Cambodia.  In Queens, the New Warriors are trying to attract the attention of Darkhawk so that they can ask him for his help in confronting Tai in Cambodia.  At the Crashpad, the Warriors are discussing whether or not they should ask the Avengers for use of the quinjet or just take it.  They decide that the Avengers would never believe their story and that they must steal the quinjet.  At this time, Firestar tells the others that she will not go to Cambodia and instead will be staying behind to support Vance during his trial.  The rest of the Warriors, with the help of Rage and Darkhawk, make their way inside Avengers Mansion, where they break off the roof doors and steal a quinjet.  Back in the jungle of Cambodia. the Folding Circle are attacked by the servants of the Dragon's Breadth Cult.  Using lethal force, except for Night Thrasher, they overcome their attackers.  Silk Fever then burns down the jungle canaopy to reveal a hidden temple, the Temple of the Dragon's Breadth.  On the temple steps are guards who are wearing armor that closely resemble the design of Night Thrasher's own armor.
