We begin aboard a Skrull ship, where Rick Jones has been taken captive. He is waltzing around the ship and no one realizes it's him—they think it's a Skrull disguised as Rick. The crew is watching the Super Skrull on Earth attacking a passed-out Banner, with Betty pleading for the Super Skrull to stop for his own safety.
Banner realizes he isn't getting angry, and we delve into his mind to see the Gray Hulk blocking a metaphorical doorway. If Banner lets anyone out, it will be the Gray Hulk. The Savage Hulk is trying to beat down the door from the other side, but the Gray Hulk holds firm.
The Super Skrull questions Betty's concern that Banner will hurt him, and recounts his harshest battles with aliens and the Silver Surfer. Back on the ship, the real goal of the Skrulls is to harness Rick Jones' mental powers—powers he doesn't actually have—that supposedly ended the Kree-Skrull War. They want to show the "real Rick Jones" his friends being crushed, but Rick, who they still think is a Skrull, convinces them it wouldn't work because humans see such violence on television all the time. The Skrulls agree and instruct the Super Skrull to bring them back alive.
The Super Skrull, tiring of his commander's arrogance, decides they are his prize and he will dispatch them immediately. Banner continues holding off the Gray Hulk, but when the Skrull decides to kill Betty first, Banner lets him out. The Hulk emerges and attacks the Super Skrull. The Skrulls realize Rick is not a Skrull when he starts cheering for the Hulk, thinking Banner was dead.
A battle between the Hulk and Super Skrull ensues across several pages. Meanwhile, Rick is running through the Skrull ship looking for a way out when he sees Captain America—but it's actually a Skrull. Rick realizes this and throws the impostor over a ledge.
The story cuts back and forth between the Hulk battling the Super Skrull and Rick fleeing. Rick finds the ship's controls unattended and initiates takeoff. The ground rumbles under the feet of Hulk, Super Skrull, and Betty—the ship was underground. They continue fighting on the rising ship. The Hulk hammers the Super Skrull down through the hull as Betty falls off. The Hulk leaps after her, grabbing her mid-air. The Super Skrull falls into the energy core of the ship, causing it to explode.
Back on the ground, the Hulk turns back into Banner, and Rick parachutes down to meet Bruce and Betty. In the final scene, Marlo appears at Rick's apartment and tells a neighbor that she's Rick's girlfriend.
