The Coming of The Liberty Legion Part Sixteen..... Look to the Skies

Meanwhile, as Bucky and Agent Stuart had been dealing with the awaking Toro, a furious battle was taking place outside.

Watched over by thousands inside Yankee Stadium, and by Red Skull from his hidden base of operations.

The Three Invaders showed  the Seven Legionaries even with the advantage of numbers, this made little difference to the battle.  The Invaders time together made them a complete fighting unit, and even in their hypnotised dulled state were more than a match for the more inexperienced heroes.

 The Patriot and the Thin man engaged Captain America, Red Raven and Jack Frost fought off the fiery fire balls of the Torch, whilst Prince Namor took on The Whizzer and The Blue Diamond.  Miss America as planned stayed out of the initial attack as she stood ready to boast up which ever duo team she could when needed.

Seeing a chance to make a difference Miss America distracted The Human Torch long enough for Jack Frost to encase him in ice.

 With all the excitement focused on the playing field no one noticed  Bucky as he raced  back outside in to the Stadium, or had seen Toro's  flaming trail shooting up into the clouds. These clouds had  suddenly appeared over the Yankee Stadium as the battle commenced between The Invaders and The Liberty Legion. Little did Bucky or anyone else  know that hidden above the clouds was where the Evil Red Skull had his stationed his Airship.

High above the clouds the Red Skull watched on his monitor with much laughter  as his three  mind enslaved Invaders did battle with the Liberty Legion.  The Red Skull could see that his "slaves"  appeared to be holding  their own. If one group destroyed the other, the Skull knew the result would mean less America Heroes to interfere in his plans to destroy and conquer the USA and the World.

The Red Skull enjoying the Show

Then a member of the  Nazi Airship crew alerted The Red Skull to something approaching them at great speed. It was Toro...... Part of the Hypnotic conditioning was in case of capture or failure, the "Mind Slave" should return to base as soon as possible for further instruction. The Nullatron device had instilled in Toro and the others,  a Homing Instinct..... and this had enabled  Toro to locate the source of the signal.. Although the Red Skull took credit for this device it was truly the invention of the now deceived Nazi scientist Brain Drain.

What is that ?

"STOP ! STAY BACK YOU FOOL !!!!!! "

This was fine when the hidden HQ of the Skull had been in a  hidden bunker under the Radio Station in New York City..... but now as the base of operations had moved to the more mobile Airship, this caused a dangerous predicament.

Question.... What Happens when you mix Hydrogen and Fire ?

As Toro bust through the side of the Airship his flame ignited  the very element  that kept the craft afloat in the skies.   The Highly inflammable  Gas .......................Hydrogen  !!!!!

 The Answer .........KABOOM !

The Explosion up above made the Crowd and the two Battling forces look up. With the Airship destroyed it released the Invaders from their Hypnotic control...... but now free from that danger... both the Invaders and the  Liberty Legion found themselves in a more dangerous situation.


The Wreckage of the Damaged Airship was now starting to rain down on Yankee Stadium. Endangering all the people within.

Next time we will find out if the combined forces of the Liberty Legion and the Invaders would be able to save the Innocent bystanders or not. And what happened to Toro ?

Until then    Enjoy !
