In "The Creeping Forest," G-Force races to investigate a devastating earthquake in California—only to face a shocking threat as Zoltar seizes control of all communications, declaring himself Supreme Commander and threatening to sink entire cities unless Earth surrenders. With Win Mortimer's dynamic art bringing the chaos to life, the team tracks Zoltar to his hidden lair, where the Phoenix transforms into the Firebird and crashes in a fiery climax—only to discover the destruction was just a robot.

When an earthquake hits California G-Force is sent to investigate. While they are investigating Zoltar breaks into all communications and declares himself Supreme Commander. He threatens to cause a much stronger earthquake and send San Francisco and Los Angeles into the sea unless the earth surrenders. G-Force finds Zoltar's hidden lair and destroys it when the Phoenix transmutes into the Firebird and crashes into it. They think they have killed Zoltar but it is just a Zoltar robot. Of course, the real Zoltar gets away.
