5. Mind Wars

Complete story — includes the ending

Tom returns to the Volm hideout along with Matt, Weaver and Cochise and discovers a message left behind by Hal telling him where the group are headed. Meanwhile, Anne is confronted by Lexi when she learns that she had questioned the Overlord and collapses when she uses her powers. When Tom discovers a campsite occupied by two men who introduce themselves as Nick and Cooper, he is suspicious of their story and voices his concerns to Weaver. That night, Tom is abducted by the men who tell him that the Espheni have a high price on his head, and that they had killed Weaver and Matt. The next day, Weaver and Matt are able to track down the men and look on as Tom is tied up. Tom attempts to reason with Cooper and tells him about Matt and that he believes him to be a father, to which he responds that he had two sons who are now dead. Realizing that Nick was responsible for the death of his sons, Cooper shoots him dead and turns his gun on Tom, but is shot by Weaver. As Lexi's health worsens, Anne forces the Overlord to help her save Lexi and learns of a flower that calms her fever. That night, Lourdes frees the Overlord and Lexi tells Anne that it is her father.
