Hiro is battling the directors in England and when all seems lost he is joined by Van and Laura who help turn things around by combining LBXs into one powerful Super LBX. With defeating the directors and shutting down the computer hub they are one step closer to stopping the LBX rebellion. After destroying 4 of the 5 computer hubs they are contacted by the A.U. which tell them about a new communication satellite that will be finished in order to watch every corner of the world so something like this never happens again in the future.

There are a lot of things to process throughout this volume and some parts are action packed while others are somewhat sad. There is a lot that happens throughout their adventures in stopping the rebellion and that action carries over once their job is complete. This volume has everything you could ask for and then more especially with the reveal of who is behind the rebellion.

I received this advanced copy from VIZ Media through Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.
