Wally heads to STAR Labs in Salt Lake City, where he is studied by Prof. Bill Schmitz and Tina McGee. He hopes that with their help, he can break the sound barrier once again. However, during one of his practice runs, Wally sees a gigantic metallic monstrosity in the desert. It follows him back to the laboratory, where cuts off Schmitz's finger and enters the electrical systems. Through the computer, it announces that its name is Kilg%re. It demonstrates its power by electrocuting a STAR Labs security guard who is talking on the telephone. Kilg%re disappears until the next morning, when a National Security agent arrives at the lab to announce that Kilg%re has taken control over all television stations. Wally, Tina, and Schmitz agree to go with the agent into town. En route, Wally notices that Schmitz's finger has somehow reappeared.
