Synopsis:

The Satanstone has transported the Power Company to the otherdimensional world of Ashalanti in order to prevent them from interferring with its invasion of Earth. By the natives of Ashalanti (the few rebels not yet enslaved by the Satanstone), the Company members learn the origin of the Satanstone and its master Nyi'tarla, once trapped by the Controllers.
On Earth, a Paige Sylvian presents herself as the C.O.O. of "InterSect Enterprises", a conglomerate network that has quickly started absorbing some of America's greatest companies into their "family". Soon, it stands clear that "Paige Sylvian" is in fact a construct by Doctor Cyber and that InterSect is a means for Nyi'tarla to take control of Earth.
Josiah wakes up from his coma and joins Bork, Witchfire, and Jennifer Stuart (and, unknowingly to them, the spirit of Jeb Stuart) on a mission to save their missing teammates. With Witchfire's magic, they are transported to Ashalanti.
