Synopsis for "War & Pax - Part Five: Vici"
The Maestro returns to Dystopia and soon learning from the citizens about Doctor Doom having taken over his palace. He barges into the throne room and finds Doom waiting for him. Following a tense moment, Maestro and Doom shake hands, revealing that they have been working together to dispose The Pantheon and A.I.M., two last organizations on Earth who could pose a threat to their plans of ruling the world together. But during a discussion of their victory over lunch, Maestro tells Doom that he has no desires of being a co-ruler with Doom. He grabs Doom by the throat and explains that he had his wine poisoned just like he did with Hercules, but is left surprise that a genius like Doom would fall for it. Doom, however, knew that Maestro would try to kill him before blasting Maestro out of the palace.
Through his armor and magic, Doom has the upper hand against the Maestro until he threw him to the Alchemax Buildling, where Maestro laid a trap for Doom. Finding Alchemax-made electromagnets, Maestro used them to remove Doom's armor and leaving him vulnerable to be punch by the Maestro. Badly wounded, Doom quickly recovered his mask and using its inbuilt technology to teleport himself away from the Maestro and Dystopia. Though Doom is gone, Maestro can only hope that he will be sufficiently smart to stay away from him or else he will find a "imperfect future." Meanwhile, The Minister finds a Time Platform left by Doom in the palace.
At the remains of the A.I.M. base that is currently rendered into a crater, the Abomination emerges out of the ruins.

Synopsis for "The Black Scythe: Part Three"
Atalanta has the Black Scythe leader at arrow-point but decide not to kill him now. She informs the man that The Pantheon are already taking out the doomsday cultists in their rallies in places such as the ruins of Washington and Chicago. Atalanta then demands answers from the leader on why he and his followers are pushing to wipe out what is left of humanity.
The leader unmask himself and tells her that he was a former stockbroker, not a super-villain or some alien infiltrator like a Skrull, who have lost his faith in humanity following in the wake of the nuclear war. He and the others believed that humanity is only destroying their planet and themselves, and thus they have given up their right to survive. Atalanta finally kills the man with a plasma arrow through his head.

DOOM.
The Maestro thought he knew his enemy. He thought he was facing a band of gods. The truth...is so much worse.
