In deep space, the
last of the Norrak race spy Omegex traveling through the stars and determine to
destroy it to prevent it from reaching Earth….
In
the truck shielded from the Thunderbolt’s sensors, LMDs Annie and Gus
try to remove the mines implanted in the Red Hulk’s brain by General Fortean;
it doesn’t work as Rulk’s antibodies destroy their seekers. They head to a
place in the Mojave Desert where decommissioned aircraft have been dumped, many
of which Ross is familiar with, as Gus had hoped to learn something of their
history from Rulk. Then a fog rolls in—which is impossible in a desert but it’s
the Black Fog, dispatched to destroy Red Hulk by Zero/One. The monster moves
around in the fog, attacking Red Hulk from behind several times, inflicting
damage with his sword and knife. Zero/One and Jacob Feinman watch remotely as
Rulk tries to escape with the LMDs but Black Fog slices Chuck in half
vertically. Rulk hurls a plane at Fog and knocks him down. Black Fog is
transported into the sky where it encounters the Thunderbolt, coming as
it has detected Rulk’s signature once he left the shielded truck. Black Fog
fires on the craft and then vanishes from view. Rulk and Annie return to the
truck to find Gus sliced in half horizontally; the dying LMD has a capsule
containing a virus that should work against the nanites in Rulk’s brain and
allow him to sleep. Gus dies and dissolves into dust as all the Gamma Base LMDs
are programmed to….
In
their separate bases, General Fortean and Zero/One both realize that destroying
Red Hulk is going to be a long process but they are determined to see it done….
Red
Hulk wakes up after 48 hours asleep without changing. He then receives a call
from Steve Rogers telling him he is needed for a mission in space….
The
last of the Norrak, now dying, send out a final message that they have failed
to stop Omegex and now nothing will prevent him from reaching Earth….
