Synopsis for "War & Pieces part 3: Fortunes of War"
Farnoq Dahn has taken Havok captive and restrained him in a siloed missile. Dahn relates how his military found Havok unconscious after X-Factor’s battle with the Hulk and gloats that Havok will serve as Trans-Sabal’s nuclear deterrent. Havok demands to see X-Factor liaison Val Cooper, and Dahn happily shows she has been drugged and dressed as one of his concubines. Dahn leaves with Val, and the Hulk appears and knocks out the guards. Nearby, Val briefly regains her senses, and Galvin demands her release, but Dahn kills him. On the front lines, X-Factor watches as the Pantheon charges toward them. The Hulk tells Havok how he stowed away on his captors’ vehicle, and they debate the morality of intervening in Trans-Sabal’s internal politics. Meanwhile, the Pantheon once again fights X-Factor. To expend the kinetic energy he absorbed from a mortar strike, Strong Guy trashes Prometheus’s car and send sits it crashing into the ground. Prometheus emerges from the wreckage on fire, but he puts it out just before Hector carries him away. When the Pantheon’s forces overwhelm the Trans-Sabalian military, Dahn has missiles with civilians tied to them set to launch across the country. He demands the Pantheon leave and, to prove his resolve, launches two of the missiles. Fortunately, the Hulk and X-Factor rescue the two people strapped to them. The Hulk then finds Dahn and declares he will stand trial. After freeing Havok and Val, the Hulk, the Pantheon, and X-Factor watch as Dahn’s subjects refuse to try him. The Hulk stops Ulysses from executing him, but Rick, dressed in Mandroid armor, shoots Dahn dead and walks away. Afterward, the Hulk watches as Rick explains his actions to Wolfsbane, and she consoles him.
