Synopsis

Chemical Kid, Gravity Kid and Dragonwing break into the University of Phlon to get raw genetic material for the dead Legionnaire Condo Arlik, Chemical King, so Glorith can take care of Alchemical Girl's power in a way that won't reveal that his father sold his genetic code. Dragonwing expresses a desire to deal with the situation quickly by killing the Taurus Gang.

Night Girl, Bouncing Boy and Duplicate Damsel discuss the recent graduates' failure to get into the Legion, lamenting that in today's world, veterans like Bouncing Boy and Duplicate Damsel wouldn't get in. Bouncing Boy voices a need for them to find out how to get the Legion the new members that the Legion needs.

Glorith uses magic to take the powers away from Alchemical Girl that used Chemical Kid's genetic code. It is painful, but not fatal. As the news reports on the arrest of the Taurus gang, Cosmic Boy is impressed by the trainees and promises to pull strings to clear up their records. As the trainees return to the Legion Academy, Chemical Kid reveals that while they refused any reward, his father didn't, and shared it with his son. Glorith does not know what her teacher the Black Witch did to give her the power they needed to defeat the Taurus Gang. She falls asleep in her quarters later after sending a message back the Sorcerer's World to Karlak expressing concern for her teacher. She is put to bed by Duplicate Damsel.

The conclusion to Paul Levitz and Phil Jimenez's "Legion Academy" arc! We hope the cadets survive it! Plus, longtime LEGION artists Jeffrey and Philip Moy draw an all-new short story starring the speedster XS, and what she finds in this version of the 31st century is deadlier than she ever thought!
