Outside San
Diego, California, the assembled heroes find themselves between two
large groups of monsters. Suddenly, to the heroes' surprise, the
newly arrived group of creatures, led by Fin Fang Foom, attacks the
alien monsters in defense of Earth. Captain America (Sam Wilson)
leads the human heroes to rescue the civilians from the massive
melee. The new monsters defeat the old ones and take their leave, Fin
Fang Foom making it clear they did not fight the battle on the
humans' behalf as they vanish. Maria Hill and SHIELD coordinate the
National Guard and other emergency resources (including Damage
Control)....
Elsa Bloodstone
arrives and offers to shed some light on the situation. They all
repair to Parker Industries where Elsa shows them Kei Kawade, who,
she learned, was at the site of several monster appearances over the
previous few months. When Kei's parents arrive the whole story is
pieced together. When he draws a picture of a monster in his
notebook, the monster appears. He demonstrates and Devil Dinosaur,
with Moon Girl in tow, crashes through the wall. His parents fill in
the background: Kei is an Inhuman, subjected to Terrigenesis; when
monsters started appearing, his parents connected it to him but
didn't know why but they had to keep moving around the country.
Medusa summons Karnak to fill in the big picture: a monster called
the Leviathon Mother awakens every few thousand years to feed,
sending her creatures to overwhelm worlds and prepare for the arrival
of their queen. A great warrior arose born to fight the Leviathons,
able to raise monsters of her own to battle; problem was, she failed
and was killed. Lunella, with Kei apart from the grownups, tells him
she learned to translate the monsters'' speech and something really
bad is coming....
In space, the
Leviathon Mother awakens from her hibernation and is told by her
minions that her new nest is not yet ready. They tell her of the
world's inhabitants defending their planet so she orders all of her
children to crush the resistance and kill the Inhuman....
