Challengers of the Unknown #16

Synopsis

In a bar, Rocky tells Clay stories of glory days, including how the Challengers saved the Space Race. They were zapped aboard a spaceship to battle the Xerons, who plan to destroy Earth. When the Challengers get a chance to destroy the planet Xeron, they balk at slaughtering innocents. The Enochians, Guardians of the Space-Time Continuum, tested both races before they went to space. The Xerons are banished to their planet for 1,000 years. The Challengers showed courage and mercy. Clay doesn’t buy it, but he salutes Rocky for dating Sarah Hargate, the office manager: challenging the unknown!
