SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
Synopsis:
In an abandoned dock in New York, Backlash is chained upside down over water as
Bloodmoon and the
Kindred painfully extract blood from him. It turns out that Bloodmoon wants a sample of Marc's
Gen-Factor so he can use it to breed more powerful warriors. Backlash's Gen-Factor has mysteriously mutated into something else, though, so it's useless. Bloodmoon tells Backlash that he must lure the other
Team 7 members to him so he can extract their blood, or else
Jodi must die. He's left alone to make his decision, during which time he escapes.
In the other room they sample some of Jodi's blood and find that she has Gen-Factor as well. Bloodmoon hears noise from Marc's room so he sends Kamin to investigate. Backlash fights the seemingly invulnerable Kamin and eventually kills him. The rest of the Kindred investigate and Backlash challenges Bloodmoon to a duel. They fight. Jodi comes to his aid and her Gen-Factor activates, making her much faster than usual. The fight continues and things are not looking good, but then
Dingo switches sides because he doesn't like the ruthlessness of the Kindred. The fight is not going well for the Kindred, so Slider teleports them all away. Dingo heads off to wander the world, now that he is no longer in league with the Kindred.
