Synopsis for "Heart Attack"

Jack of Hearts is hopelessly stuck aboard the Contraxian ship bound for their sun. He seeks to escape to save Kaina and let the other Contraxians die but is unable to free himself. Meanwhile, Commander Varga is despondent about their decision to sacrifice Jack while Smythe tries to convince him it was necessary and informs Varga that he put Kaina onboard the ship so as to eliminate any witnesses of their treachery.

Aboard the ship, Jack discovers Kaina is on board with him and they reinforce their love for each other despite their impending demise. Varga has meanwhile decided to take the Survivalist fleet to meet the ship to at least save Kaina's life. Smythe attacks Varga hoping to prevent him from saving them, but he manages to board an escape pod and arrive to the ship carrying Jack and Kaina. Kaina escapes as Jack and Varga fly into the sun and successfully restore its waning power.

After Jack's power is unleashed into the sun, he absorbs much of its power and becomes a de facto god, flying back to Contraxia while inadvertently destroying the Survivalist fleet. Back on Contraxia, the snow is melting but Jack's arrival accelerates the process and rapidly melts the ice caps causing massive destruction. Kaina, having arrived back to Contraxia, encounters Jack and pleads with him to spare the other Contraxians. He shows them mercy and demands they not take their new life for granted and flees into space in order to avoid further destruction from his near-limitless power. Kaina pleads to go with him but he refuses knowing she would die.
