Description
Alpha Flight, the Avengers and Her continue their assault on the Consortium, who appear to have a never-ending fleet. Guardian and Captain America find time to discuss plan, Cap asking Heather if she is sure Her warrants their protection, Heather points out that if she wasn’t sure then she wouldn’t have let things get this bad. Everyone battles valiantly, and Quasar develops an interest in Her. Diamond Lil catches up to the alien who has the gun which was able to pierce her skin, and demands it from him - though she comes to another predicament when she learns that the gun is cybernetic ally attached to the alien. Alpha Flight and the Avengers are enabled to regroup, and try to formulate another plan, when the Consortium ground force launch another attack. Diamond Lil returns, with the gun, explaining why she had to leave the battle earlier. Her is about to leave Earth, seeing how much destruction she has caused, but Quasar persuades her not to, and asks J’Ridia to explain why the Consortium are after her. J’Ridia explains her situation, and shortly after the Chief Executive Officer of the Consortium appears before them, offering two alternatives - surrender Her, or face total planetary take over. Meanwhile, in space, the Qwrlln, their planet and Frankie Raye blink back into existence, the Qwrlln explaining that they have long prepared for the arrival of the World-Devourer so developed a fail-safe that would enable them to shunt their planet through Space-Time. However, Frankie Raye informs the Qwrlln that they obviously never thought that Galactus could home in on his Herald, and they admit they didn’t, a fitting arrival for Galactus as he makes his presence known. Galactus and Nova start setting up the planet-devouring equipment, and the Qwrlln realize that they have one option left. Back on Earth, Her is prepared to surrender, but Heather tells her not to, when suddenly Vindicator switches to robotic mode, and the Qwrlln speak through him, announcing they require immediate assistance. Heather is obviously annoyed, when suddenly Vindicator, Heather, Box, Windshear, Sersi, Quasar, Hercules, the Vision and Her all vanish, leaving seven perplexed heroes on Earth. The Chief Executive Officer if furious that his negations were disrupted, and orders a full-scale corporate take over of Earth’s assets. Arriving on the planet Quwrll, the heroes are concerned about Earth, while Vindicator and the Qwrlln explain that they need assistance against Galactus!
