- "Targets acquired... proceeding to phase two."
- ―Kidnapper[src]
The Kidnapping of Peacemaker was a kidnapping planned by a mysterious individual to capture Chris Smith and a group of passengers heading to Alaska.
Background[]
- "We're just not vibing lately, dude. Maybe we need a vacation."
- ―Peacemaker to Eagly[src]
The League of Assassins hijacked a plane to murder its passengers for fun every year.[1] After a grueling battle, Chris Smith and Eagly returned home to rest, where Smith acknowledged they weren't working efficiently, so he suggested Eagly take a vacation, because while they were contributing to a more peaceful world, they also needed a few days of calm. They ultimately chose Alaska as a tourist destination,[2] however, the League of Assassins set out to hijack the plane ride Smith Peacemaker was to take, which was bound for Alaska, so a member of the organization bought a ticket and infiltrated the plane Smith was traveling on.[3]
Ally and her friend Izzy were planning to go to Alaska to film a documentary and boarded the same plane. Birdwatchers Matt and Margaret also boarded the plane and were amazed by Eagly during the trip.[2]
Kidnapping[]
Peacemaker is exposed to a toxic gas
- "Well, shit! Usually don't mind... being drugged... but only... with my... consent..."
- ―Peacemaker[src]
On the flight, the plane was hijacked, and a toxic gas began to spread through the plane, startling the passengers. Smith, overwhelmed by the gas, said that although he had no problem with drug use, it was usually consensual, before collapsing along with the rest of the passengers. The hijacker, wearing a mask, then called his contact to let him know that the targets had been acquired and that he was going to proceed with phase two.[2]
Aftermath[]
The passengers wake up in the middle of a forest
- "We are the League of Assassins, we are hunting you. And you cannot escape us."
- ―Assassin to Peacemaker[src]
After hijacking the plane, the hijacker left its passengers stranded in the middle of a forest. As the passengers began to wake up from fainting, they were shocked to discover they were stranded in the woods, confused by what had happened. Amidst the uncertainty, the pilot tried to get the passengers' attention and ask them to remain calm but was suddenly shot in the face by an assassin from a tree at a distance, and then a shootout ensued. Chris Smith ordered everyone to take cover, helping them survive while he asked Eagly to attack the shooter. The eagle knocked the shooter from the tree, allowing Smith to hold his head and snap his neck, leaving everyone around him stunned.
Peacemaker learns the League of Assassins is hunting him
Smith realized that they had been taken to the forest to be killed, and that since they were not safe, they should seek shelter, using the Flash Ring to activate his Peacemaker Suit. However, Smith was suddenly attacked by a female assassin with a katana, and after a confrontation, he managed to defeat her; when Smith swore to kill her in the name of peace, Izzy begged him not to, as they needed her to know what was happening. Smith agreed and threatened to pierce the killer's stomach if she didn't confess, so she revealed she worked for the League of Assassins and that they were hunting Smith, threatening to kill all the passengers.[3]
