SYNOPSIS

In a San Francisco hospital two nurses observe a shooting star crashing into the ocean. Little do they realise that it is Zauriel, Guardian Angel of the Eagle Host who has renounced his immortality. He is pursued by a trio of Bull Angels who seek to silence him because he knows too much about the plans of Azmodel, King Angel of the Bull Host.

Zauriel is intercepted by the Justice League who manage to defeat the trio of Bull Angels. In response an energy pyramid appears over the city sealing in Zauriel, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onzz and Aquaman as Azmodel arrives in person. Meanwhile the demon Neron interferes by trapping the Flash in the transporter beam and by diverting the attention of Superman who has to deal with the Moon falling from it's orbit.
