Synopsis for ""Elements of Terror" (Part IV of XII) - Rage and Design"
Mickey Ditillio arrives in Florida and meets up with Zahner and Monteiro. The two mercenaries take Mickey back to their new safe house at gunpoint, but it had been burned in the struggle between Demon and the Man-Thing. Once there, Mickey tries to escape into the swamp.
In Maryland, Colonel Jody Choate consults with his lawyer, Bressack. He intends on confessing to being the sole official responsible for the diversion of funds, which helped to establish the Freedom Science Studies Institute. He plans on using the televised confession before the Senate committee to endear him to the American public.
At FSSI, Wilbur Wycombe is put through a horrific battery of tests. He is to be the new template for an experimental Super Soldier process. Wycombe goes insane and breaks free from the lab, attacking Goren and Railsback. His body then explodes into large chunks of bloody pieces.
Back in Casagata, Florida, Zahner returns to the safe-house to find his agent, Demon, with Skinner and the Man-Thing. Zahner tries to exert his muscle over Demon, but she establishes that so long as she commands the Man-Thing's loyalty – it is she who is truly in charge of the situation.

Synopsis for ""Crossing Lines" (Part IV of VIII) - Water"
Black Jack and Clive talk to Shang-Chi about Argus, the international arms dealer who is orchestrating the unification of the world's most foremost terrorist cells. Shang has no interest in the agents' plans to take Argus down. He only wants to find Leiko.
Shang makes contact with an old rival, Shen Kuei – the Cat. Knowing that Shen was once in love with Leiko as well, he knows that he will aid him in finding her. Black Jack and Clive meet Shang and Shen on Shen's junk to discuss their battle strategies.
Meanwhile, Argus continues to torture Leiko. By sending the hand, he is attempting to scare Shang-Chi and the others off his scent. Leiko tries to escape and kicks Argus in the crotch. But Argus subdues her.
Back on the junk, Black Jack tells Shang and Shen that they are to infiltrate the Yakuza and partake in an arms deal, which will hopefully lead them directly to the location where the unification meeting is to be held. Neither martial artist is thrilled about this plan.
As the four men exit the junk at the harbor, the small boat explodes in a ball of fire.
