Synopsis for "Balance of Terror"
Months after the breakup of the WildC.A.T.s, Grifter is in Venice spying on an arms deal intent on stealing the buyer’s cash. He recognizes the seller as an arms dealer called Noir and, to his shock, the buyer as Spartan. Spartan gives Noir a suitcase full of money and asks about his employer. Noir refuses to talk so Spartan reveals his identity and orders Noir to surrender. Noir orders his henchmen to shoot Spartan, but Grifter shoots them. Spartan is interrogating Noir about the location of the Haikyatu Armory, a cache of advanced Kherubim weaponry, when a massive tank bursts out of the ground. Spartan identifies it as a Kherubim warcrawler and engages it while Grifter and Noir run and hide. Spartan disables it, but its self-destruct sequence activates. The three men teleport away just before it explodes. They materialize in a command center where they are met by Emp. Grifter is stunned by Emp’s shriveled, goblin-like appearance, and Spartan explains that Emp has changed form in preparation for his ascension as a Kherubim high lord. Grifter starts to leave, but he stops when Emp tells him they are pursuing a man named Kenyan. A dangerous villain who has manipulated both Kherubim and Daemonites, Kenyan has acquired the Haikyatu Armory, jeopardizing the safety of the world. Reluctantly, Grifter decides to rejoin the team.
