Chapter 8: The Enemy of My Enemy...

The Enemy of My Enemy... is the eighth chapter of The Mazkertis Paradox. In this chapter:


 * The Chousin gather in the Hyperdimension to assess the Mazkertis situation.
 * Klak is reunited with Caiaphus on Neo Z'traa and reluctantly agrees to ally with him against Mazkertis.
 * Kakamu and Nadle inform Zev and the Conquistadores that Mazkertis is loose. Zev takes Namah, Nu-13, and Prudence with him to help the Claws, with the rest of the Conquistadores waiting behind as backup.
 * Now that TPK is dead, Huriel and Orion Pax decide that Angonce must be reinstated as the leader of the Great Beings. They take Black Phantom to Angonce as a gift, but this has unintended, and deadly results.
 * The Heckler and The Heller merge into The Heckumvirate to combat Stardust the Super Wizard on Meme World.
 * En route to Vizima, Jesse Ventura and Ross Mandell argue about who is the bigger guy on the team.
 * On the moon of Alaine, K'theenya comes face-to-face with Mazkertis, who recruits Blue to his cause. She decides to seek out Klak to warn him about the wizard with a vengeance.
 * One week after these events, Mazkertis forms the Kindred of Dawn on Kalta Thaea, an alliance of villains he has convinced to aid him with the promise of increased power in the new timeline he wishes to create.
