Cyan's shoelace is the only physical clue to Terry's mysterious recovery from cancer. Terry's nightmares mirror Al's experiences. Spawn enters Hell's fifth level where he is revered as a returning savior. He is forced into a confrontation with the Savage Dragon and defeats the dragon for the position of the Messiah. The dwellers of Hell turn on both of them and stone them to death - or do they?

Spawn, now alone, is free to pursue those that have made it their mission to hurt the people he cares about the most. And if Heaven and Hell were not enough for him to battle…a new force, bigger even than those two, is growing. Will Spawn have to join forces with those he hates the most? Plus, the return of another classic villain from Spawn’s past makes an unexpected appearance!

Al Simmons is returned to his demonic birthplace where he is tormented by a demon in the likeness of Wanda. When he realizes that Malebolgia has tricked him, he destroys the demon and passes another of the Malebolgia's tests. Malebolgia then agrees to leave Wanda alone in exchange for Al's loyalty and servitude. Spawn then enters Terry's dreams where he suddenly awakens knowing that Al is "alive."
