1. "Eviction Notice"
Problems with the Watchstar East scandal force the team
to lose Watchstar funding. They regroup as Sierra Force and move their
HQ to Kodiak's ranch just outside of the LA city limits. The team roster
includes Cobra, Dr Data,
Hex, Changeling,
Kodiak, Stingray,
and Quarry. Cobra disappears, kidnapped by
the supergroup Rock-n-Roll.
2. "Mind Games"
Cobra is used as a pawn by a brainwashed (but very much
alive) Gizmo. The team tracks Cobra and Rock-n-Roll to a quiet Simi
Valley residence being used as a base. A big brawl follows with the
former teen villains, during which they are captured. To save Cobra
they must disconnect him from a cyberspace machine, but this causes
Gizmo to slip into a coma.
3. "Space Pirates"
The heroes go off on a swashbuckling adventure with the
alien called the Commodore, in search of a 3000 year old treasure. Cheap
thrills abound.
4. "Eco-War!"
Tyger returns to civilization,
leading a group of terrorists in their drive for a purified planet.
Claw, Plasma, and newcomer Siren
all make appearances. Sierra Force stops them, but Siren helps Tyger
escape to Haven before allowing herself to be captured. Prelude
to the Hex limited series BAD MOON RISING.
Annual #1: "The Griffin"
The team discovers an old 1960s cryo-tube containing a
frozen US government super-agent called The Griffin.
When he awakens, they chase him around the ranch as zany antics ensue.
5-7. "Not So Fun in the Sun"
Cobra recruits Siren for Sierra Force. Soundwave
II recruits his brother Changeling to help him look for Duncan Black
Sr, the original Soundwave, who supposedly
died in the Hero Wars years ago. They travel to Haven and discover
he is alive. Meanwhile, Black Sunday arrives
on Haven to release an army of Transasian doomsday robots, which
Dr. Omega plans to use to established a beachhead from which
he can invade Isola. Scourge of Black
Sunday is killed, and so is Duncan Black Sr---by his own son, who is
a Transasian agent. Contessa escapes with Changeling, her ex-husband,
and the island is overrun by Transasians. Crossbow, Dagger, and former
Watchstar member Steel Claw, Crossbow's husband, escape the massacre
and vow revenge.
8. "This is War--Nothing Personal"
With Stingray and Hex off on their own endeavors, and
Gryphon a houseguest, Sierra Force uses a new teleporter to travel to
Sanctuary and look for Changeling. They prevent the activation of the
doomsday robots and battle the Transasian invaders, forcing them to
withdraw. In Transasia, Changeling encounters the dying
Clone Master, who is looking for a worthy successor to pass on all
his scientific secrets to.
9-12. "Don't Be Afraid of the D'Harque"
Mantra, Manna's equally hot sister,
shows up, asking for assistance from Sierra Force, along with another
superbabe named Fury. An ancient magical race
called the D'Harque, who are powerful sorcerers,
are attempting to break through into this world. Mantra's fighting order,
the Sisters of the White Flame, are sworn to stop them. In LA, the Guardians,
including Crossfire, Sunhawk,
Corona, and Rainbow,
battle the D'Harque, are defeated, and transformed into villanous versions
of themselves. Avatar also shows up; his powers are actually an extension
of D'Harque magic and he is now wholly controlled by them. A huge battle
follows, and Sierra Force manages to defeat the D'Harque, but at enormous
cost. A dimensional rift has opened in the sky over LA, transforming
part of the city into "Night City",
an area of perpetual night, where the stars permanently shine. The Guardians
are restored to themselves. Fury and Siren are killed and Dr Data moves
back to San Francisco. Adrian Knight, patron of the Guardians, merges
the remnants of Sierra Force with the remnants of the Guardians into
a new team, called Knight/Watch. Their adventures continue in the series
of that name.
