The Changelings!
Storyline
The Changelings reach their village in the far woods, still holding Rick, Betty, Fred and General Ross captive. Woodgod tells them they, as being responsible for Centauron's weakened condition, will remain alive only as long as the centaur does. Hulk follows their trail and a battle royale against the Changelings begins. In the confusion Leoninus slips poison into Centauron's medicine. Hulk is tired of his friends pleading with him not to hurt his attackers, and leaves. Centauron dies and Leoninus, with new and powerful Changelings, menaces Woodgod and the others.
