"Is that--?" Flash asks in disbelief.

"--The NORAD alert?!" GL finishes, just as amazed.

"Yeah!" Snapper replies, his voice growing panicked. "That's what I was trying to tell you! Uncle Simon's the alien--and he's not alone anymore!"

He stumbles out of Dinah's hold and runs clumsily to the cavern's opening. "He was getting Locus to make the world over... for his people!"

And as the heroes follow Snapper into the open air, the night skies above are no longer dark.

They're filled with the flashing lights of dozens--hundreds of alien ships, screaming through space, heading directly for Earth.

The invasion has begun.
