Synopsis Morbius goes to Hannibal King for help hoping that Frank's gun "Linda" could cure him but Hannibal, being very self-involved, refuses to help him. Morbius, infuriated, goes to attack people to force the Nightstalkers to help him. Meanwhile, Richie Regent calls the Nightstalkers for help with his sister Sam, who has a letter from the dwarf that can wipe magic from the earth (see Darkhold #8). Blade gets the message and takes the tape recording message so that he can handle it by himself, however, the message is backed up automatically. Stonecold and Slaughter run into each other and decide to team up to get Morbius (Slaughter for revenge and Stonecold to try to use him to power his "perpetual motion wheel"). When Morbius attacks someone (without drinking from him) he is attacked by the Nightstalkers. When "Linda" fails to cure him he goes crazy and attempts to drain Hannibal King, who in turn tries to drain Morbius. Lt. Belial also continues his efforts to create new vampiric warriors to help D.O.A. (Hydra's Department of Occult Armaments).
