The story opens with Zatanna in the grasp of gangster-styled demons
called The Diablos. As Anita Soulfeeda, a succubus, starts to consume
Zatanna's soul, Superman and Plastic Man arrive on the scene and engage
the demons in battle. During the fight Superman is wounded by a magical
crossbow resulting in Plastic Man having to transport the Man of Steel
and Zatanna to the JLA Watchtower on the moon's surface.

Once there Superman is tended to by Martian Manhunter in the sick
bay where he is surrounded by other individuals that are associated
with magic; Deadman, Madame Xandu, Bloodwynd, etc. All of the magical
heroes seem to be under attack by The Diablos. J'onn tries to mind probe
the comatose Zatanna and finds her turned mad due to the succubus'
halfway draining of her soul. With Superman incapacitated Wonder Woman
and Plastic Man travel to Detroit to obtain the help of one of the few
magical beings who has not been attacked by the Diablos yet: Sebastian
Faust, son of longtime JLA foe Felix Faust.

Once the two Leaguers meet up with Faust, they come across Blue
Devil, who has been interrogating a member of The Diablos gang. Faust
makes the "Tatters" of the demon's soul confess what he knows about the
oncoming Black Baptism, and the truth makes the creature of lies
explode. Wonder Woman then gets a distress call from Aquaman saying that
he's under attack from the Diablos above the Arctic Circle.

Wonder Woman, Plastic Man, and along with Blue Devil and Faust
race to Aquaman's aid and find that Tempest is also there on the scene
in combat with the demonic threat. The Diablos achieve their goal of
uprooting an undersea fountain and cause a whirlpool due to the fact
that the uprooting left a raw breach that in turn caused a vortex.
Tempest uses his water control powers to slow the whirlpool to a halt
but not before claiming the underwater city of B'miria.

Enraged by Faust's apathy towards the tragedy of B'miria, Tempest
demands Faust use his soul magic to show Tempest the dead spirits of
the wasted city. Faust complies and the experience is too much for
Tempest, making him pass out. Faust then reveals that he has obtained a
fragment of the Fountain of Lessing. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman notices
that the moon has grown an eye and a pair of wings. The whole issue is
topped of by a text piece, in the form of a placemat letter written by
Blue Devil and addressed to Faust, that explains who the big movers and
shakers of the magic realm's are.
