Synopsis:

"Get Christie Blaze- Part 1"

It's 1972. Agents Christie Blaze and John Lynch are concluding another successful mission for International Operations. Lynch is so impressed by Blaze's performance that he tells her he's going to recommend her for Team 7. Unfortunately, Miles Craven does not agree with Lynch and tells him there's no place for a woman on the team. The roster for Team 7 is finalized and Blaze thinks Lynch is to blame for her not making the team.

"Get Christie Blaze-Part 2"

Several years after Miles Craven blackballed her from Team 7, Christie Blaze finds herself in the presence of International Operations' new director, John Lynch. He apologizes for Craven's treatment of her and tells her he needs her help in a move against Craven. During their clandestine meetings the two rekindle their lost love.

Lynch tells Christie of a woman named Dominique Faust and a division she heads called the Black Arts Bureau. He tells Christie to infiltrate the division and find out why they exist. Later, Christie reports that the bureau is interested in investigating and harnessing occult power, especially something called The Creation Wheel. As Christie continues her report to Lynch, Faust somehow activates an artifact which they recently found in an old ship wreck. Faust appears to become possessed by the forces within artifact.

"Get Christie Blaze-part 3"

John Lynch seeks out the help of Marc Slayton, aka Backlash. He tells him that he's got a mission going bad, an agent in trouble, and to top it off, Miles Craven knows nothing about it. Slayton agrees and the two teleport to Christie's location. She is desperately trying to fight back the entity that has possessed Dominique Faust but it overtakes her. Lynch and Slayton arrive in time to save Christie.

Backlash distracts the entity's physical form while Lynch attacks its mind. While the two men have the entity distracted, Christie grabs the artifact Faust had and smashes it. As the entity cries out, the three of them wait to see if it has been defeated or not.

"Get Christie Blaze-Part 4"

As Marc Slayton, John Lynch, and Christine Blaze hold on for dear life, the entity that possessed Dominique Faust vanishes. Faust is unconscious but alive. Blaze thanks them both for helping but asks them to leave quickly before Faust awakens. As the two men leave, Lynch tells Slayton that he's decided to call Team 7 together.

In a remote location somewhere in Canada, Lynch and Blaze meet up with Deathblow and Backlash. Grifter appears with fellow ex-Team 7 members Stewart Phillip Chang and Alexander Fairchild. Grifter is leery about the meeting so he tells Lynch that whatever it is, it better be good. Lynch tells them that he wants them each to have a receiver planted in them that will serve as a way to contact all the ex-members of Team 7 if there ever were a global catastrophe. Grifter reluctantly agrees.

In the current day ruins of Charlottesville, Virginia, Lynch and Blaze stand and wait to see which Team 7 members will answer his call. He then asks her if she thinks they will be able to stop Tao from gaining control of the Creation Wheel. She says she believes that no one else can.
