Synopsis:
The Silver Skyriders have joined together — their mission: defeat the Uni-Lord. The Uni-Lord meets with his Dark Counsel and becomes furious that they withheld knowledge of this threat. Refusing to offer another soul, he leaves, but the Dark Counsel has its own plan. They extract the soul from the Silver Surfer's board and fuse it with their personal Blackbody, creating the Black Surfer, who is sent to destroy the Skyriders.
The Black Surfer launches a brutal assault. Though the Skyriders understand their mission, they are still learning their powers. One by one, the Black Surfer dismantles them. Pradda Fol steps up to lead and strategize a defense. Meanwhile, enraged, the Uni-Lord dispatches Assimilators to the Gorgiin system to punish those who helped form the Skyriders. The Blackbodies are released, annihilating the planet. Pradda Fol, the last of his kind, is pulled from the battle and taken to the Congregation, leaving the Skyriders leaderless and vulnerable to the Black Surfer’s wrath.
