Synopsis: (Continued from TOS #72)

Cap buries the Sleeper under an avalanche of rock, but the robot scrambles out from underneath, more deadly than ever. Cap decides to head to a nearby NATO base to get reinforcements to help bring down the Sleeper.

Meanwhile, Agent Erica Wolfmann locates her Sleeper and releases it to the world: a flying aircraft that looks like a manta ray.

After nearly falling to his death down a mountain chasm, Cap follows the second Sleeper as an intense vortex of wind batters him in its wake. Cap struggles mightily and manages to leap atop the back of the flying Sleeper. Seconds later, the flying Sleeper joins with the robot sleeper and unite to form a single, cohesive unit.

In the town of Molnitz, Agent Schlag reclaims the component that will help him raise the last Sleeper.

Cap is relieved to see NATO planes swooping in to bomb the Sleeper, and he leaps off the back of the flying robot before he gets hit by friendly fire....

(Continued in TOS #74)
