Story

Wrath is consumed with finding the man who crippled his father. Thanks to misinformation from Aladdin, he thinks that man is Warstrike. The problem is finding Warstrike. In the course of doing so, he manages to alienate Aladdin by assaulting Colonel Carpenter. So, he must shed his Wrath costume in order to prevent Aladdin agents from finding him, for the agency he once served has classified him as a rogue agent. Meanwhile, Aladdin activates Project Patriot and his first assignment is the destruction of Wrath. This assignment is made all the easier by Wrath's decision to attack Warstrike rather than listen to reason. Mantra arrives on the scene, but before she can make him see the truth, it's too late...Project Patriot attacks.
