Synopsis:

Aztek has been blinded by Mageddon, which he knows as the dark god Tezcatlipoca. Green Lantern arrives at the gathering of heroes, and, spurred on by Luthor, and Warrior organizes the defense of Earth. Sturmer takes the General to the Phantom Zone, where the two of them will presumably perish, after which Superman and Orion decide to take the fight straight to Mageddon itself. Huntress, meanwhile toys with the idea of killing Prometheus, for which Batman dismisses her from the League.
In the Queen Bee's New York hive, Steel reveals that he is not under her control as she had thought; he and his JLA comrades start to do some damage to her hive, but Plastic Man is taken out before he can describe his cunning plan. Oracle's upgraded technology allows her to access 'digital telepathy' in order to co-ordinate Earth's heroes in preventing humanity from destroying itself in the Mageddon-fueled conflicts that are erupting all over the globe, while Green Lantern's team in space encounters Mageddon itself.
