Though life is peaceful on Hetricus for the Kilgannon family, Coheed often has nightmares of doctors putting blades in his left arm. Cambria, sensing Coheed’s distress, worries for him. After work one day, Coheed is approached by Mayo Deftintwolf, who tells him of his past life in the KBI as the Beast. Coheed is told of the Monstar virus, which he carries, that has the capacity to shut down an entire Star of Sirius. He is led to believe that he has passed a mutated strain onto his children, called the Sinstar, that cannot be controlled and must be stopped. Mayo leaves Coheed with instructions and tools to perform the task of controlling the Sinstar, and Coheed regretfully goes home to the twins, Matthew and Maria, with this new task.
Devil In Jersey City
The scene changes to the outskirts of Jersey City, where Josephine Kilgannon is riding in a car with Patrick McCormick, her fiance. Josephine is unsure about going into Jersey City, believing that the place is run by a gang known as the Jersey City Devils. Patrick reassures her by telling her the place is deserted. Having a proposal in mind, Patrick begins to get close to Josie. However, just as they begin to kiss, they are attacked by the Jersey City Devils, the local gang. Patrick is knocked out and Josephine is raped. After the Jersey City Devils have abandoned the scene, Patrick wakes up to a distraught Josephine, who asks to be taken home.
Everything Evil
Claudio Kilgannon, out with his girlfriend Newo Ikkin, realizes he’s late for his curfew. Newo argues that his parents are probably asleep, but Claudio insists they must go anyway. Meanwhile, Josephine and Patrick arrive at the Killgannon residence. Coheed, who is watching from a second-story window, readies a hammer. Josephine walks into the kitchen, and vomits into the sink after her ordeal with the Jersey City Devils. Cambria wakes up and walks downstairs to see her. The two hug, and Cambria assures her that she’s safe now. Coheed walks into the room, struggling with what he believes he must do. He tells Josephine to come to him, and attacks her as Patrick is walking into the house. Later, Claudio returns home to find Josie on the kitchen floor and from behind him a Priest emerges from another room. Seeing this, Josie tells him to run and says, “Dear Claudio, you’ll make it if you believe.”

After being captured and sedated by Mayo Deftinwolf and a group of soldiers, Coheed and Cambria are transported to Paris: Earth aboard the Gloria vel Vessa, a Red Army transport craft. The crew of the Gloria feel safe as both Coheed and Cambria are contained in sealed isolation chambers, but the couple breaks out. Having remembered their powers, Coheed uses the blades in his left arm to kill surrounding soldiers and Cambria uses her telekinetic powers to subdue others. They fight their way to the bridge of the Gloria and commandeer the ship by capturing and holding the Captain, Larry, and the Navigator, Norris, hostage. During their time on the Gloria, Coheed begins to feel the effects of the Monstar.
Hearshot Kid Disaster
As Coheed and Cambria feared, the Gloria comes into trouble and crash lands on Paris: Earth. Trying to salvage their plan regardless, the URA secure Coheed and a dragonfly stings him, inserting the ciache to begin Monstar reaction. After frantically searching for Cambria, fearing that she is gravely injured, Coheed looks into her eyes thus triggering the Monstar. He transforms and goes on a rampage, eventually shutting down the Star of Sirius holding Sector 12 in the Keywork, thereby dismantling it and all of its planets. After losing the beam that sustains its atmosphere, Paris: Earth becomes Silent Earth.

He runs, but while trying to call the police for help, the Priest finally catches up with Patrick. Meanwhile, on Dil Ariuth IX, Jesse has received information about Coheed and Cambria’s capture and readies a ship to pursue the Gloria Vel Vessa.

After fleeing from the Kilgannon house in Everything Evil, Claudio decides that he has to leave Hetricus, and Newo, behind in order to keep her safe from whatever is after him. He visits her house and watches her sleep for a while, eventually saying a mental goodbye to her and taking a photo of her to keep. He stows aboard the Guile Griever, a trash hauling ship, and it leaves Hetricus for good. Meanwhile, on it’s way to Paris: Earth, the Gloria Vel Vessa has come into trouble and Coheed and Cambria fear that the ship may crash.
