Synopsis for "With Friends Like These..."
ShadowHawk and the Regulators entered the sewer and they were attacked by a large group of people. In a flashback, Christina was training Paul in fighting. In the present, the group came upon a cavern, where they witnessed a ritual taking place. The group realized that the "Underlord" whom the people were worshiping was actually the Liquefier. In the past, Christina gave Paul a suit of armor and some weapons and the latter called himself ShadowHawk. Hardedge and BlackJak fought the Liquefier, as Vortex threatened the cult leader, in hopes finding Beto. Meanwhile, in Uptown, Jacks broke into Frakes' apartment and looked for him, but found that it was empty. The cult leader decided to return Beto to Vortex, before she killed the Liquefier, declaring that it didn't deserve to live, much to ShadowHawk's disapproval. Afterwards, they left the sewer and ShadowHawk parted ways with the Regulators.
