Synopsis for "Book Three: Decisions"

Lightray informs Starfire that Green Lantern and Orion have failed their mission and the planet Xanshi and its star system have been destroyed. On the planet Rann, Starfire comes under attack by protoplasm after Lightray takes off alone in an attempt to destroy the Anti-Life aspect on that planet. On Thanagar, Orion fights Thanagarians as Superman tunnels his way into the city to fight the Anti-Life aspect there. On Rann, Lightray discovers the uncoscious form of Starfire and fights the protoplasm. Back on Thanagar, Superman finds a doomsday device and begins dismantling it when a giant robot appears and confronts him. Superman destroys the doomsday device and contains the Anti-Life aspect. Back on New Genesis, Darkseid tells Highfather that they must invade the Anti-Life's realm. On Rann, the Anti-Life aspect explodes, destroying the doomsday device on that planet. The Anti-Life aspect escapes into the atmosphere. While the others regroup, Darkseid and Etrigan venture into the Anti-Life's realm. Back on Earth, the doomsday device has begun its 120 second countdown.
