He flies directly towards the cockpit of the jet. They streak across the sky, but Firestorm dodges them. The jet sweeps around and locks on target. Ronnie looks back and lets out a startled “Yeoww!” A spray of bullets pierces the sky! Ronnie wishes that people would ask questions first and shoot later, and he lowers his atomic density so the bullets pass through him like spit through smoke. Looking around, Stein sees the fighter jet closing in and alerts Ronnie that they won’t have to worry about finding the authorities – they’ve already found them! Light sparkles from the wings of the jet as the pilot fires his machine guns. Ronnie decides that they first thing they have to do is find someone in authority. The pilot does not have visual contact yet and prepares to intercept. Its pilot radios to Nairobi Control to report that he has the intruder aircraft on his radar. Ronnie says it stands to reason that this is where to look for the cure.Īs Firestorm flies over the lush green expanse, he is not yet aware that he has been spotted and is being pursued! Far behind him, a fighter jet is banking and turning to give chase. According to Summer’s diary, the Kenyan plains are where she became infected. Unless they can find a cure, they may be forced to stay together forever! That is why Ronnie insisted they come to Africa. The infection is causing side effects like fur on Firestorm’s face, claws on his fingers, and has turned his teeth into fangs. Firestorm’s composite identity kept him from turning completely into a were-hyena like them, but the hyena-infection has paralyzed them in the form of Firestorm. But that was only the beginning of their problems. In the end, it was Summer that helped Firestorm overcome Jivan Shi. Ronnie thought both of them were trying to kill him. Shi became a were-hyena just like Summer – two Hyenas for the price of one. Jivan Shi clawed Ronnie the night this ordeal began (see issue 10), it must have infected him with Shi’s weird hyena-lycanthropy just as he’d been infected by Summer Day when she was recuperating in Arizona. Ronnie says they might as well face it: When Dr. Stein admits that he expected as much, but still held out hope in his heart that somehow it would work. We can’t change back!” Firestorm falls over with a splash at the edge of the creek. He and Stein yell out in agonizing frustration! The transformation did not occur! His energy spent from the attempt, Ronnie says “No joy. Ronnie concentrates, trying to force them to split apart. But, if it will make Stein happy, Ronnie will try again. Ronnie reminds him that they tried to transform into their separate personas back in New York and nothing changed. Stein asks Ronnie to try their transformation just once more. Firestorm flies low over the ground and three giraffes look on at the very unusual sight passing by. Ronnie is open to other ideas from the Professor, but otherwise they don’t have any other choice but to search on. He wonders what hope they have of finding a cure in such an expanse, assuming that a cure even exists in the first place. Professor Martin Stein is not optimistic. Shi in Hyena form, arrives in the sky over Kenya, desperately searching for a cure for the mysterious affliction that is slowly taking over his body. Animals of all shapes and sizes populate its lands. Its veldt is enormous, stretching over thousands of square miles. Firestorm is captured and taken to a small tribal village where the shaman may hold the key to cure him.įirestorm826's Panel-by-Panel Story Summary (Spoiler Alert) Summer Day's diary reveals the story of how she became afflicted with the were-hyena curse.
