For the five years, Scott and Jean have been posing as the human couple Slym and Redd Dayspring as they strive to protect Nathan Christopher from Apocalypse while training him to control the techno-organic virus. They arrive at Slym's hometown of Coast Crest but immediately receive unwanted attention from Apocalypse' guards. It is only the intervention of the severely disabled but powerful Prior Turrin that saves them from death. Scott and Jean join Turrin's human resistance movement. Meanwhile, in the lair of Apocalypse, Ch'Vayre has trouble controlling the violent and sadistic child Stryfe.
