The Lilin known as Nakota has escaped from her last encounter with the Spirits of Vengeance. Now, the Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze give chase, hoping to catch her before she returns to her mistress. They manage to stop her, and Ghost Rider incapacitates Nakota with his Penance Stare. Through the experience, Ghost Rider has a vision of three more men who may be of potential aid in the upcoming battle with Lilith – Blade, Frank Drake and Hannibal King.
In Boston, Frank Drake takes his wife, Marlene, to the New England Aquarium. While observing the whale tank, Frank has a harrowing vision of Lilith tearing through the belly of the creature, and emerging in the Earth realm. Frank shakes away the vision, only to discover that Marlene is now in a state of catatonia. Doctor Strange is present in the crowd and recognizes Lilith's influence.
Later, strange visits a mental hospital in Boston operated by Doctor Ritegrig. Under the capacity of a physician, Strange arranges to have Blade released from the hospital, despite the strong reservations held by Ritegrig. He surreptitiously uses his magic to provide Blade with his old equipment and weaponry.
Blade goes to Borderline Investigative Services to reunite with his old ally, Hannibal King. Hannibal has been having difficulty in life lately, as he now feels the old vampiric bloodlust welling up inside of him. Unlike most vampires, Hannibal has never consumed the blood of the innocent – a detail that once saved him from the effects of the vampire-destroying Montesi Formula.
Meanwhile, Lilith and Pilgrim track down another one of her Lilin – Meatmarket. Meatmarket executes a man named Justin Hoyt and offers him up as a sacrifice to his "mother". He then shows her a parchment of dried flesh, etched with the likeness of the Mystic Nine that threaten to stop Lilith’s plans. The images include Blade, Frank Drake, Hannibal King, Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, Morbius, Victoria Montesi, Louise Hastings and Sam Buchanan. Lilith then embarks upon a plan to manipulate her enemies into fighting each other.
She takes on a human disguise and enters the offices of Borderline Investigations in the form of a paying client. Lilith tells the three men that she wishes to hire them to kill two "demons", Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze. Blade is instantly set off by her, commenting that she gives off the scent of evil. The group outfits themselves with new equipment and weaponry, including a Necrotech gun that targets supernatural entities.
