The Red Skull had made his original base of operation underneath the very Radio Station that the Newly Formed Liberty Legion was using as their HQ. Here he could SPY on the Heroes whilst he made his plans of destruction of the American way of life. This is why when the Red Skull went on the air to spout his daily rant of Nazi propaganda , the signal could not be traced. As it was being broadcast internally. So all the Liberty Legion believed was their own signal was being bounced back at them.

A second mobile base was also in operation, one that the Nazi Red Skull used as a base where he would release his unwilling slaves to do his bidding. An Air Ship built with the latest technological advances that the Skull had either devised himself, or stolen from others.
The Skull managed to form an artificial cloud around the Airship so that it was undetectable from the ground. This way he could travel all over the USA transporting his hypnotised lackeys to be his bidding undetected.
On board the Air Ship the Red Skull using methods and adapted equipment developed by the believed dead Nazi scientist Brain Drain, continues to break down any resistance of the captured Invaders. The Nulla Rays for one had originally been an invention of Brain Drain, although the Red Skull boasted that HE had invented them. Werner Schmidt aka the Brain Drain, more of him at a later time (maybe)

The Red Skull knew that one way to destroy a nations resolve ..... was to attack monuments and iconic buildings that meant the most to the America Nation and its people.
The Targets chosen for destruction included ........ The Lincoln Memorial in DC , The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and Lady Liberty herself, the Statue of Liberty in New York. These targets were threaten by the Red Skull in his next radio transmission. Bucky knew that this could be a trap, but he could not sit idly by whilst hes friends trashed these landmarks and symbols of Liberty and the American Nation. Bucky with the aid of the Thin Man decided to remain at their HQ to oversee the other teams, and also be on guard to keep an eye on Manhattan just in case the Red Skull used this as a chance to attack the "Big Apple" itself.
The Liberty Legion split up. Jack Frost and the Blue Diamond went to Protect The Statue of Liberty where they took on the might of the Sub Marina. The Patriot and Miss America went to protect The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia where they fought Captain America. The Red Raven and The Whizzer rushed to Washington DC to protect The Lincoln Memorial where they fought The Human Torch and Toro. However the Nulla Rays that the Red Skull was using to control the Invaders was proving to be a problem. The effects of the Rays did a good job at controlling the Invaders, but at a price. It effected their thinking and slowed their reactions. Making each of the Invaders much less powerful than they would normally be. Both Prince Namor and Captain America were easily defeated, and were recalled back to base. Whilst the Human Torch started to fight his reprogramming and started to doubt his instructions and he too was recalled back to base, however young Toro was captured by before he could also flee back to the Red Skull.

The capture of Toro was a good victory for the Liberty Legion. The Red Skull becoming annoyed with his plans being dashed at every turn by the the new Legion of Heroes announced that he challenged the new Team to take on "his" team of invaders. The Battle would take place at a place in New York as symbol to the US nation, The Yankee Stadium in the Bronx New York City.
Next Time the Final Battle ...... Until then ENJOY !
