Title:

Chaos War: Alpha Flight (2011)

Synopsis:
In Quidlivun, the Northern Gods battle the Chaos King and his forces. Nelvanna sends Snowbird back to Earth, moments before Nelvanna is slain by the Chaos King.

In the Shattered Lands, Somon and the other Great Beasts discuss the situation with Sasquatch, who has in his possession a mystical power that will enable the Great Beasts to return to Earth, for they claim that they are the only ones with the might to kill the Chaos King. Sasquatch strikes up a deal with them - the Great Beasts will return Sasquatch’s deceased friends to Earth, provided he protects the Great Beasts while they regain their strength. The Great Beasts promise not to attempt to claim Earth for themselves for one hundred years. Sasquatch accepts their deal.

In Alberta, Snowbird is reunited with Northstar and Aurora, who felt a strange summons to this location. Sasquatch arrives via a portal, followed by Guardian, Vindicator, Shaman, and Marrina. Sasquatch tells his friends that after they returned from Plodex and the team was reorganized before they were slain, he swore he would find a way to bring them back. The reunion is a joyous one, though it is explained that the rest of their friends were caught up in the chaos in the Underworlds.

Snowbird explains who the Chaos King is before the slave god hordes of the Chaos King arrive. Thinking they are here for her, Snowbird begins to battle them, alongside Guardian and the twins. Sasquatch then explains to his friends the deal he made with the Great Beasts, who are now battling the enslaved gods.

Snowbird is understandably distraught that her deadliest enemies are once more walking the Earth and tells her friends that if anyone attempts to aid the Great Beasts, she will not be accountable for her actions. Sasquatch and Snowbird debate the situation before several civilians nearby wake from their slumber, though they are transformed into Wendigo, who begin to battle the slave gods. Eventually, the heroes agree that the Chaos King is the more pressing concern, so they launch into battle against the slave gods.

Aurora tells Northstar that this is where they belong, with their friends, and not with the X-Men.

Snowbird witnesses one of the Great Beasts fall to the slave gods and does not help him. When the civilians who were transformed into Wendigo begin to eat the slave gods, Snowbird, Vindicator, Shaman, and Northstar reconsider the situation, deciding that they do not need anything from the Great Beasts. It would, however, mean the deceased Alphans will return to what is left of the Underworld. Guardian, Aurora, Sasquatch, and Marrina don’t agree, though, so the team briefly battles each other. Snowbird and her followers gain the upper hand, and Snowbird uses a god-like power to freeze the Great Beasts.

The Chaos King then arrives and seemingly destroys them. The Wendigo return to their true civilian forms. Vindicator asks about her daughter, to which Sasquatch reveals she is safe with family. Shaman casts a spell to return the four deceased Alphans to a state just beyond life. It doesn’t work, and he, Vindicator, Guardian, and Marrina remain on Earth. Shaman realizes that death itself is inaccessible. Snowbird points out that the Great Beasts lied to Sasquatch, that they had no access to their friends. Simply put, without death, there is no place else for them to go. Shaman supposes that when the Chaos King is defeated, death will be restored.

Sasquatch tells everyone that they have to risk defeating the Chaos King, so the eight heroes of Canada depart to join the battle against the Chaos King and save all of reality.
