Synopsis[]

Sneaking into a closed Virtual Reality exhibit, Phil and Gayle run the equipment on Phil's inner power. But something goes wrong as a Virtual Reality Creature takes Gayle captive! Through its link with Phil's power, the Creature reveals to Gayle that she was the first to die when Solar destroyed the other world! At first, too shocked to fight back, Gayle takes control and banishes the Creature. But for her and Phil, the damage has been done!^[1]
