Synopsis: About a thousand years ago, a fierce battle took place in the temple of Tangkor Marat. Clan Yashida was trying to summon a fiery alien called the Doombringer to gain personal wealth, and was being opposed by defending warriors. These warriors had certain people who managed to freeze time, and even the alien before he managed to reach Earth. Almost a millennium later, something weird occurs, and a lone archer is turned back to normal. Panicking, he tries to summon help from Mariko Yashida in order to get the Doombringer through. But Mariko believes the man to be insane and has him send away. The archer vows to find other help and convinces twenty soldiers from the Silver Samurai’s army to help him in return for wealth to spend in hell. They return to Tangkor to finish the job. Mariko investigates the whole matter. She travels to Madripoor, where she enlists the help of Wolverine, fearing what might happen should the Doombringer come through that portal. She also informs him about the Samurai’s involvement. Wolverine visits the Samurai at home, and he wants to punish his men for deserting him. They meet up with an old friend of Logan’s, a pilot named Archie, who flies them to Tangkor Marat, which is located in Thailand. Once there, Wolverine and the Samurai stare in awe at everything that’s still frozen in time. Meanwhile, the Samurai’s men mess with certain things in the temples and unfreeze everything. The battle goes on, but old age catches up with the warriors and they all die. Wolverine and the Samurai locate his men, and during that battle the Samurai is shot three times by bullets. Wolverine kills all of the men and enters the temple to finish off the Doombringer. In there, he destroys a crystal, which closes the portal the Doombringer came through and prevents a second alien from coming through it. Wolverine eventually comes face to face with the Doombringer and, with the aid of the Samurai’s sword and his berserker rage, Wolverine kills the creature. He and the Samurai go back to Archie’s plane, and Logan has Archie head to the nearest hospital so the Samurai’s wounds can be tend to. The Samurai admits he’s in Logan’s debt, and Logan wants it repaid so he can inform his sister about what happened. The Samurai allows that. Two days later, Logan visits Mariko at her home, and informs her about what happened but lies that the Clan Yashida were the bad guys in all this to ease her mind. They take goodbye, and Logan leaves. Mariko watches him go, and realizes that Logan lied to her, but only because he still loves her.
