Issue #2 picks up where issue #1 leaves off, focusing on how Zithara, an alien/human hybrid, who can form red crystal-like structures at will into weaponry, is thrust into a tense race against time to save a human family from becoming the flesh-devouring Dreadfiend's next meal. The Dreadfiend from issue #1 continues to give Zithara hell, constantly adapting and outsmarting her, she has to give it her all before time runs out.
 
Can Zithara, a gifted alien-human hybrid warrior, outdo the beast or is all hope lost?
