Synopsis for "War! What Is It Good For?"

Moscow and Washington are made aware of a possibly international incident occurring in one of the border states of China. When the Canadian Prime Minister is informed, he discovers Alpha Flight caught up in the midst of the incident, and is furious that after being missing for some time, Canada’s heroes return only to possibly cause World War III. As the Chinese Troops who were planning to attack the High Lama are attacked themselves by one of their number, a soldier with the ability to become the Jade Dragon, Alpha Flight continue to battle the Dreamqueen’s Dream Warriors. They are aided by the Jade Dragon as their former teammate Puck takes the unconscious Vindicator to safety. The High Lama watches the battle, interested in how the heroes can value life so greatly. Puck comes to him and asks him to end this madness, but the High Lama tells Judd that only he can, and after digging into Judd’s past, Judd finds he still has the ability to enter the peace state, and by doing so learns that Alpha Flight are only fighting phantoms. As Laura Dean learns and reveals that she is also a mutant and starts to close the portal to Liveworld with the Dreamqueen in it, Judd enters the portal to keep the Dreamqueen from escaping to Earth. As the portal closes, the Dreamqueen does something to Alpha Flight, something worse than killing them, before the portal closes, trapping her and Judd on Liveworld. Heather is healed by the High Lama who then teleports Alpha Flight, Beta Flight and the Jade Dragon away, and asks his disciples to find their own path, not follow his. The Chinese troops are ordered out of Danwei, and the Canadian Prime Minister is informed that Alpha Flight deal with the situation that threatened global peace. Despite this feat, the Canadian PM declares that when Alpha Flight gets back, they have Hell to pay.
