Synopsis[]
Magnus and his allies battle to keep South Am from falling to the Malevs. There, they win the unexpected support of the Amazans -- a bionisaur-riding tribe of warriors who protect the rain forest. Together, with the Amazans, Magnus is able to prevent the Malev plan to destroy the rain forest and, thus, irreparably damage Earth's atmosphere.[1]
Notes[]
- The story is directly continued in Rai and the Future Force #17, the beginning of Malev War, the next epic crossover between this series and Rai and the Future Force, lasting fourteen issues in total.
Quotes[]
What?! Who binds me?!
- -- Magnus
I am Talen, leader of the people whom some cal the Amazans. The rainforest is our domain, all of it. And it is sacred. The people and our scaly brothers demand to know what business you and the metal ones presume to have here. Speak -- while you have a throat to speak with!
- -- Talen
I've accessed some old records about these people. Greatest hunters of this age. They're part of the reason the rain forest is still standing. They could be allies if we play this right. Here. Put this on your finger but don't try to call the armor. Bust the bonds and then shove the ring in their faces and ask if they still honor the covenant of blood. Make it showy.
I hate theatrics. Uhnng!
- -- Magnus
You are a warrior of great strength! I see we have not given you the respect you deserve. We will do so now. Kill him.
- -- Talen
Hold. Is the people's memory so short? Have they forgotten the sign? Do they forsake the covenant of blood?
- -- Magnus
You speak wisely, Magnus! Come, brothers and sisters -- our scaly brethren! This is the hour of which the prophecies have spoken! The people to come will sing songs of this day! We go to fight for the very life of the forest itself! Fly, my friends--fly!
- -- Talen
Ai-yi-yi-yi! Victory, brothers and sisters! The metal skins flee! The forest still stand! Rejoice! For what can we not do if we all stand united?!
- -- Talen
