Youngblood is in Zaire to rescue Cougar’s mother from the cat-like Jakarra. At Cougar’s request, the rest of the team stands by while he enters a Jakarran temple to free her. He is confronted by Lynx, the current Jakarran queen, who believes him a threat to her power. Though he just wants to save his mother, Lynx challenges him to a duel for the throne. At the Pentagon, Keever sends Dutch and Photon to investigate a string of murders between there and Youngblood headquarters. Back in Zaire, Cougar battles Lynx in an arena as Youngblood watches. He ultimately wins and claims the Jakarran throne. In the tunnels beneath the Pentagon, Photon encounters the technician who survived Psi-Fire’s escape. Just before she blasts him, he realizes Psi-Fire is possessing her. Cougar frees his mother, but she insists he return to the U.S. with Youngblood while she rules the Jakarra in his stead.
