When the Peacmaker forces amass once more, the League decides to do something about both sides, defeating the armed forces both of the invaders and of Kanjar Ro, also broadcasting images of his actions across the planet, ensuring that he is ousted from his position, and forcing the Chairman of the Kylaq people to acknowledge the wishes of the populace. Meanwhile, back in the solar system, Firestorm establishes simple communication with Dawn and the Martian Manhunter makes an appointment somewhere very fiery.
