Synopsis for "The Masque of the Red Breath"
Under cover of a parade of Loonies, Rocket Raccoon and Wal Rus seek out the kidnapped Lylla. They detect non-Loony signals only to discover they are under attack by a Killer Clown and a Drakillar. Blackjack O'Hare is meanwhile telling Lord Dyvyne of his own intentions to marry Lylla despite her protests and says that Dyvyne can do nothing due to his reliance on the Black Bunny Brigade for his security. Dyvyne decides to unleash the Red Breath in response, a menacing, red, mist-like organism.
Rocket meanwhile continues his fight against the Killer Clown and Drakillar and succeeds at destroying them both and is then rescued by Wal Rus flying the Rakk 'n' Ruin. At Mayhem Mekaniks, Lord Pyko continues to decipher the Halfworld Bible as he scolds Judson Jakes for ignoring their prime directive to entertain the Loonies through their toy making. Jakes insists he's only trying to clean up the place and Pyko provides him with a Vacuusled, a vehicle with literal "clean up" capabilities.
Rocket and Wal Rus land the Rakk 'n' Ruin at the Asylum having detected the presence of Blackjack O'Hare and Lylla there. Rocket enters despite the sanctity of the Asylum as a shrine for the Loonies and they rejoice his arrival until the sudden arrival of the Red Breath. The Red Breath causes those who it touches to vanish and Rocket is unable to use any conventional weaponry to affect it. Wal Rus separately wanders through the halls of the Asylum until he finds O'Hare and Lylla and seeks to free her despite a threat from O'Hare but a pack of Killer clowns on Vacuusleds suddenly crash through the walls and begin sucking up other members of the Black Bunny Brigade. Rocket is meanwhile cornered by the Red Breath until the Vacuusleds arrive at his location and suck up the Red Breath, removing it as a threat. Afterwards, they leave the Asylum and Blackjack O'Hare, no longer employed by Lord Dyvyne, decides to team up with Rocket.
