With less than an hour to go before detonation, Scarlet and Blue fly to London, proceed to Park View in a Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle and locate the device. As the defusing procedure would take too long, White orders the captains to drive the transporter to its intended destination – a nearby construction site – and leave the device to detonate in a specially-prepared underground excavation. With just minutes to spare, Scarlet and Blue reach the site and Blue lowers the transporter, driven by Scarlet, into the excavation using a large elevator. Scarlet abandons the transporter and begins his ascent, but seconds later the device explodes, obliterating the elevator shaft. Scarlet is fatally injured but recovers thanks to his powers of accelerated healing.
