RECAP: Now fully understanding Dr. DNA's plan for domination the Last Watch seek out the CLEAN SWEEP production facility. Clockwork relays that a cure is soon to come as the team venture deep beneath the Crossroad's HQ. They are quickly outmatched by the legions of DNAgents and the remaining Errants pulling themselves out of their quarters and med-bay to defend the good Doctor! The Dr. DNA escapes while his unfinished masterpiece is unleashed - GHOULASH... Jetboy proves his worth as a new team members saving the fallen team racing back to regroup at Smith Tower. While he aids Clockwork in the last pieces of what they hope will be a cure/defense against DNA's serum Big Chill discovers horrible news while recovering in front of the TV set. Dr. DNA and his Ghoulash now lead a DNA-Zomibe army crossing The 520 Floating Bridge!!
The Last Watch rush to the scene, Jetboy distracts Ghoulash (now in command of Last Watch's powers) as Portal and Big Chill sieze Dr. DNA portalling him to Husky Stadium for a final showdown.
When all is said and done Dr. DNA's plan is thwarted, Jetboy and Clockwork's cure works and Ghoulash turns on his master's dream. But this adventure holds remaining impact on the Last Watch. Portal begins his steps over the edge, willingly tossing Dr. DNA (who had possessed a friend's body) into a Dimension only described as "Hell". Ghoulash in command of immense powers is convinced that one such as he will soon out-evolve mankind and the only place appropriate for him would be to relocate to Jupiter "king" of planets. Jetboy offers the former-monster a new name... GHOULASH / ZEUS

Last Watch regroups after being fought back by Dr. Apocalypse's underlings. With a little luck and going with their best guess, the team heads down to the beach. From there they take mini-subs down and discover a hidden underwater structure. Focusing their efforts, they seem to be working as a cohesive team. Dr. Apocalypse is defeated but all falls apart when the team rifts again. In his anger, Portal kills captured criminals. Talon fumes, "You're off the team!" to which Portal retorts "You can't fire me, I quit!" and leaves to team stranded underwater with the base collapsing around them. Big Chill manages an ice bubble, but the team is stunned at what has happened.

issue #22
V&V/M&M presents: "Kobayashi Maru, part I" , December 15, 2006. GM: WAYNE
After returning from the Island of Dr. Apocalypse, the team is raked over the coals about the whereabouts of Portal. Since Last Watch is exhausted, Clockwork takes them out to a bar as regular guys. Naturally, Talon refuses. Later Talon is contacted by someone calling him by his birth name, Harlan Robinson. The mysterious message promises info about Dr. Apocalypse, but only provides confusion as the unmasked Harlen is tricked into walking in on the Last Watch poker game. Suddenly they receive an emergency transmission from First Watch, a smaller investigative wing of Watch. They arrive in Bellevue and join First Watch to take on an Apocalypod in a battle which stalemates. The Apocalypod leaps away, but Hyper-Sonic manages to alter its massive jump so that it just misses the cities skyscrapers and lands in the drink. While the rest of the team takes a breather, Jetboy's keen eye tracks something moving underground, eastbound below Yesler Way...

V&V/M&M presents: "Kobayashi Maru, part II" , December 15, 2006. GM: WAYNE
Gathering at the foot of the Smith Tower, Last Watch focuses on clearing the area of the pedestrians. Hyper-Sonic leaves a note on every person in the building in a matter of seconds. Clockwork almost manages a smart ass comment only to be jammed through the granite wall by the Apocalypod as it bursts from the pavement. Tossing aside the fact he is without his armor, Talon rushes to his fallen teammate while the rest of the team hit the monster with a myriad of attacks. Then tragedy: Talon is crushed underfoot by the monster and Magus is backhanded by a tentacle, dying in Big-Chill's arms. Seeing all this, Omega-Boy cracks open his Terminus energies in a rage of power. Jetboy shields Clockwork from the explosion, saving his life. Later, returned as the Great Owl, Talon forces Last Watch to regroup. Out of seven heroes: Two are dead, one is badly injured, and one is missing? While the team scrambles to recover Jetboy, they realize the Apocalypod is struggling to hold up the crumbling Smith Tower. Jetboy figures out that it is counting down, Big-Chill remembers his vision, but it is Talon that makes the choice without hesitation. Destroy Smith Tower. Crush the bomb.
