And while the Defenders face their former friends and allies, their offspring face challenges of their own. Determined to find his missing mother, Dale, Rick Gordon and his friends K'Shin, Zuffy, LJ, and Jedda investigate a former secret base held by the son of Ming. Kro-Tan may be gone, but the danger is not. A fan-favorite villain goes after the Second Gen Defenders!
