This issue isn’t online but there is a detailed summary @ https://uncannyxmen.net/comics/issue/alpha-flight-1st-series-103
“Diablo has changed Heather’s body so she fits inside a test tube, except for her head which remains normal size, and torments her and the chained Weapon Omega. As he reveals his plan to them, Heather and Weapon Omega learn that he is going to sell vibranium he created to the world powers, though the Alphans know that the vibranium wont last long because created by alchemy, it is only transitory. After Diablo leaves to go meet with the world power representatives, Weapon Omega frees himself, then drops the test tube Heather is in, reverting her back to her original size. They defeat the earth elemental, before making their way to stop Diablo and his negotiations with the world power representatives. Sasquatch battles the USAgent, who addresses Sasquatch as a terrorist for getting involved in the affairs of Tierra del Maiz. After he disarmed all the bombs Sasquatch set, the USAgent gives him a run for his money, until Northstar enters the scene, picking up the detonators, he speeds around the countryside putting the bombs back together, just in time for one of them to explode behind the USAgent, knocking him out. Sasquatch and Northstar arrive at the negotiations to help Heather and Weapon Omega, until Diablo unleashes his Elematrix, a combination of the four elements, which attempts to destroy the Alphans when Diablo uses a paralysing gas on them. The injured Jeffries tries to convince Lil to leave him, but Lil isn’t going to, so when Madison asks her to marry him, she accepts his offer. Realizing he still has his mutant powers, Jeffries restructures the broken Boxship into a small craft with a large drill on it, and after putting out the fire elemental, drills his way through the Elematrix and rescues his teammates. Weapon Omega then tricks Diablo and causes him to blow himself up. With everyone safe and Tierra del Maiz free, Alpha Flight warn the world power representatives to forget that they were ever here, before Weapon Omega takes off his mask and reveals who he really is, shocking his teammates. Meanwhile in Canada, Windshear goes on national television where the “Canada A.M.” host informs him that people think Alpha Flight made the wrong decision in aiding Her, thus destroying much of Toronto, to which Windshear claims he didn’t support the decision, and deep within Department H, Headlok searches Aurora’s brain for a split-personality that he detected earlier.”
