Story

Fleeing Argus and Vahdala aboard the Godyacht, Lukasz, Flygirl, Hardcase, Féline, Cayman, Warstrike, Pressure and Boneyard form an uneasy alliance. Their goal: stop Argus from finding the three Keys to the Crucible of Life, the device of ultimate power. Meanwhile, Rune has mysteriously disappeared and Argus has selected NecroMantra and Lord Pumpkin to be his champions of evil. Needing a third individual to track down the final Key, NecroMantra energizes a discarded Prime skin, creating Primevil. Now aboard the Godyacht, the ultraheroes are about to have one of the greatest secrets of the Ultraverse revealed to them...a celestial body of unimaginable size known as the Godwheel.
