As the
Shi’ar ship passes through the stargate,
Neutron and
Starbolt of the
Imperial Guard stay behind to stop
Quasar and
Her from following. The hero seals Starbolt inside a force bubble and quantum jumps Neutron a light year away, stranding him. Quasar then pursues and enters the ship. He demands that the Shi’ar turn over
Captain Atlas and the
Nega-Bands to him; they deliver the prisoner but the Bands have already been sent on to the Shi’ar homeworld. Quasar disables their engines and departs with his captive.
Meanwhile on Earth,
Kayla Ballantine is troubled by strange dreams as a mysterious figure watches through the window. On
Chandilar, the Shi’ar homeworld, the
Avengers petition for an audience with the
Empress Lilandra—though an impatient
Thor resorts to crude threats….
With the aid of
Epoch, Quasar finds the ship carrying the Nega-Bands but is intercepted by
Binary of the
Stajammers who warns him of the dangers of interfering in the war; he continues and is then assaulted by
Onslaught,
Solar Wind, and others of the Imperial Guard and ends up being teleported to an unknown location in space. The Nega-Bands are delivered to Chandilar and their secret unlocked to create a new weapon. Captain Atlas, recaptured by the Shi’ar, is imprisoned in the dungeon—but rescued by
Shatterax….
