[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Gentle Reminder|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Coax: Sigh I can't even find the memories inside your head.

Beginning of Fight: Coax
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Doubtless|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Coax: Let's put on a show for "the new kid" and maybe he will learn something. Worst case scenario I work up a sweat.

Beginning of Fight: Cornerstone
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Waiting in the Wings|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: Boo! I think Coax was going easy on you. Let's see if you can handle Cornerstone.

Beginning of Fight: Afterimage
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/What's My Line?|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Afterimage: LOL at you beating Cornerstone. I wrote up a new third act where you lose to AfterImage.

Beginning of Fight: Young Zeroth
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Doubtless|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Young Zeroth: Are you guys even trying? Pretty sure I don't need my memories or all my powers for this battle.

Beginning of Fight: Quickhit: Protector
	Quickhit: Hey crybabies! or whatever you call yourselves.
	Quickhit: Awww! Is the widdle Drama Club not used to being upstaged? Why don't you try and do something about it?

Problems with Pixels

Beginning of Area: Problems with Pixels
	Young Zeroth: Who the heck was that and what did she want?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Autonomous Effort|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Dramaclub Member: That was Quickhit from the Home School. I don't know why she would attack us. But I think we oughta find out.

Beginning of Fight: Makeshift: Protector
	Cornerstone: Remind me again why you are running around with these jokers. Is it because you can beat them up? Sad really.

Beginning of Fight: The 8-Bits
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/The 8-Bits|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Makeshift: Uhoh! I don't know what these things are but they look like 8-bit versions of Torrent. A little help?

Beginning of Fight: Torrent: Freelancer
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Torrent: Freelancer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Torrent: I see we have both grown more powerful since our last encounter. I have no quarrel with you and you want no part of the new and improved Torrent.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Torrent: Freelancer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Torrent: My benefactor demands the capture of this young Zeroth in exchange for my recent upgrade. Feel free not to but I am sure you will try and stop me.

Beginning of Fight: Firerazer: Freelancer
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Firerazer: Freelancer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Firerazer: Sometimes I don't even know why we bother with henchmen. With our newly enhanced powers any one of us should be able to capture Zeroth rather easily.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Firerazer: Freelancer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Firerazer: I am getting paid quite handsomely for this. Have you ever considered switching sides?

Beginning of Fight: Pyrotechnique
	Pyrotechnique: You are still getting underfoot after all this time? I have been tracking the movements of The Notch for weeks now.
	Pyrotechnique: He has joined forces with a group of other supervillains to form a for-hire outfit. I am trying to find out who is backing them. I would advise you to stay out of my way.

[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Plot Twist|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Coax: Uncle Johnny?!?

[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Plot Twist|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Johnny Tinker: Unfortunately we have quite the rogue's gallery looking to get a little revenge while he can't protect himself.

Beginning of Fight: The Notch
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/The Notch|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	The Notch: You kids keep getting bigger and stronger. It is about time we did the same thing.

End of Issue

The last panel contains the dialogue that was originally in the Ms. Modulus megabrawl. It has been added here to help complete the story.

Megabrawl Story: Ms. Modulus
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Oh, Hi!|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: Okay...I know I have been like a jerk... ...Or whatever.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Oh, Hi!|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: But that's just me messing around. This is for reals. Zeroth needs our help.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Ms. Modulus|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: He was captured by this lady villain who goes by Ms. Modulus. My uncle and Zeroth fought her back with the Meanwhile Squadron.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Wiggle Room|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: She can sculpt things hard as rock or make her body as fluid as mercury.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Taunting|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: She has Zeroth - and in his young form he can't fully access his powers. Johnny Tinker tried to stop her...
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Saving Grab|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: But he got distracted... It's all my fault.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Strung Up|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Quickhit: It is not easy for me to ask for help... But Zeroth needs ours badly... please...help him.
