Synopsis for "Warworld Rising, Part Five"
The crew of the crashed Warzoon have breached the Fortress of Solitude, and attacked Lois and Thao-La. Their “Orphan Box” blocks Kryptonian super-hearing and vision, so the other members of the Superman Family do not know they are in danger. The two fight the attackers but are eventually overpowered. Their leader kills the other Phaelosian refugees, and in a rage Thao-La obliterates them all with her optical blast. She tearfully tells Lois that Mongul will kill all the Phaelosians on Warworld if she does not complete her mission and attacks her.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the US Navy and Atlantean army fire on each other despite Superman's attempts to negotiate a peaceful solution. The Superman Family block both sides' ordnance until Superman uses his freeze breath to create a wall of ice between them. He then dives down to the sunken Warzoon and takes the Genesis Fragment, which is being guarded by Aquaman. Arthur tells Clark that he cannot stop him taking it, but it will change their relationship forever if he does.
Superman emerges from the sea carrying the fragment and tells both sides that he will not allow anyone to take it. As they fly back to the Fortress Supergirl tells him that taking the fragment was a mistake. They argue until Superboy notices that he cannot hear anyone inside the Fortress and they rush home. There they find the bodies of the refugees and the Warzoon crew, and Thao-La holding Lois by the throat. She asks Superman to forgive her and attacks them.
