Comic 2
The next day, Raanu, Metus, and Berix try to figure out what Malum was talking about, and think that perhaps the 'storm' is why the Skrall are not there. Then, an army of Skrall is noticed advancing upon the city, and the Glatorian, including Tarix, Strakk, and Gresh, try to defend Atero while the Agori evacuate into the desert. The Glatorian put up a defence, but are driven out of the city and the Arena Magna was destroyed.
