#93 – The Devil’s Sunset – The heroes again make their way to the Crystal Ziggurat and use the keys to pass through the three doors. They enter a monorail and fly through a void to the foot of the Endless Castle, taking an elevator to the top. There they meet the Primordial, Qwun, who appears as a massive, black sphere. He kindly refuses to help them, but they plead and persuade him to intervene. His son, the Eye of Qwun, aids them by giving them counsel and teleporting them aboard the Odyssey, now just outside Pluto, where they are reunited with Moonstar, Crutch, and Sinder. Slipping past the MASTER armada, they dock with the massive starcruiser Warp Star and go straight to the Devil’s suite, where they find him surrounded by many pirates. The villain instantly mesmerizes the vigilantes with his charm, but White Leopard breaks free and is killed. The shock from this snaps Entropy free and he uses the holy sword Excalibur to rally most of the team to his side. Shadow Knight makes a mighty attack with Destiny, but is killed as well. Combining their assaults, the remaining Guardians fell the near-deity. Suddenly the Eye reappears and seals the Devil back in Chaosia, destroying most of the pirate ships and restoring Earth. Crocodile, Dr. Desist, Entropy, Quiasar, and a restored Shadow Knight and White Leopard find themselves outside Guardians headquarters, with all of their special items but the Staff of the Great One gone.
