"The Circle (Part IV of IV)" Midnighter continues his fight with the super powered lieutenant, impressing him with his skill and speed. He explains his ability to predict battles to his enemy before defeating him, then walks into the street and sees Kaizen Gamorra's headquarters.Half the world away, The Authority begins battle against The Children of Gamorra.

Using Angie's radiotelepathy bug, he calls in to Jenny and tells her what's going on. Suddenly, Kaizen Gamorra himself appears and...
