Brock Jones comes across the scene while jogging and takes the injured Plum to the Jones home where he summons a number of townspeople and Rom. The Rocketeers attack the Clairton Grammar School. Rom and the Torpedo battle the marauding Rocketeers. The Torpedo is hit and just as the Wraiths are about to finish him off, Rom banishes them with his Neutralizer.
