The Coming of the Liberty Legion Part Eighteen...... Fire in the Sky

The Yankee Stadium was literately beginning to heat up. Fires had started to spring up all around the Stadium. These had been caused by the flaming debris of the destroyed  the Red Skull's Air Ship that had exploded over the Stadium after a hypnotised Toro had returned to his Nazi Master.

The Red Skull had not accounted for the fact that all of his Hypnotised Slaves had been given a post hypnotic  command to return to the base of the Nulla Ray signal if they had been come compromised.

Bucky had believed that after capturing Toro he would lead them to The Red Skull, but what Bucky did not know that the Red Skull's base of operations had now moved to a mobile one..... One filled with highly inflammable gas. The return of  Toro in full flame had caused the Air Ship to explode.

The blast had not just knocked Toro out, but had snuffed out his flame.  As his lifeless body fell towards the ground his fate did not look good.

However, as Jim Hammond aka The Human Torch had been trying his best to stop the flaming debris of the Air Ship he had spotted a falling body, the body of his adopted son Toro.

As the Torch raced up to aide his fallen partner back on the ground many of the other heroes were trying to avoid the death and destruction of both the Yankee Stadium and the people within.


During the mayhem Jack Frost had calmly walked to the centre of the ball park.   He had an idea what he could do to stop any further flaming debris falling on to the stadium.

Raising his hands he started to using his freezing powers to create a shield over the Stadium.

Jack knew that this was a risky feat to undertake, as he had never had to use his powers in such an extreme way.

The Ice Umbrella started to form

The Shield began to form...... and grow

As the Ice Umbrella grew  the Flaming Fire Balls kept on coming

The heat from the fire balls made Jack Frost actions even harder.

Concentration was important.

The task was extremely difficult, and one slip of concentration could mean the Ice Shield falling onto the stadium as well.

The Weight of the Ice Umbrella was terrific  as was the heat from the fire balls.

But finally The Ice Umbrella covered the whole of  Yankee Stadium shielding it from the Fire and Wreckage that continued to fall.

The Ice Shield was working.

The Heroes up in the sky saw that Jack Frost was attempting, and did what they could to direct as much of the debris onto the Ice Shield


As this was happening The Human Torch reached the falling Toro.... matching his velocity he made contact with is junior partner.

Great Catch

Looking down at the  boy, The Torch could only hope that Toro was OK.

The Warm embrace of his father awoke the stunned  boy hero

The Flames of The Torch re ignited Toro

Because their powers were basically the same, Toro's flame was set ablaze once more.

Both Flaming Fire Balls flew down to the Stadium putting out all the remaining fires as they descended.

THE TORCH AND TORO DESTROYS THE LAST PART OF THE RED SKULLS AIRSHIP.

Back inside Yankee Stadium both teams united in celebration of a job well done.

TWO TEAMS, One Great Fighting Unit.
