Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Feature(s): The Justice Machine
Character(s): The Justice Machine [Blazer; Titan; Demon; Diviner; Talisman; Challenger]; Maxinor; Prosecutor Zarren; Robert [Youthquake]; a Deathspencer (is destroyed in this story)
Synopsis: Prosecutor Zarren captures the Machiners and is ready to kill them when he is interrupted by Maxinor and his son Robert. Rather than the vicious criminal the Georwellian government has portrayed him to be, Maxinor is a man of mercy, intellect, and honor. As the Machiners watch and listen, Zarren reveals that Georwell is a dictatorship that stands against justice and freedom. Maxinor, a rebel and a criminal on Georwell, seeks to deliver its people from their own, unknowing oppresion. He stops Zarren from killing the Machiners and then frees them. Although they are branded as criminals, the Machiners decide to return to Georwell and clear their names. But they also realize that in supporting Georwell's regime, they are not the heroes they thought they were.
