The
U.S.S Captain America arrives in orbit around Earth in 3015 and is
detected by the Badoon overlords. Lordsire Droom wants the ship seized
undamaged so his plan is to deal with the occupants when they try to teleport
down to the planet….
Aboard
the ship, the Defenders (Doctor Strange, Hulk, Valkyrie, Nighthawk) and the
Guardians of the Galaxy (Vance Astro, Charlie-27, Yondu, Martinex) prepare to
beam down. Hulk and Yondu, Valkyrie and Vance Astro are to be sent down; the
transporter is triggered—and the Badoon deflect the beams elsewhere. Martinex
is astonished that he lost them, Jack Norriss reveals himself to be a stowaway
and accuses them of having killed his wife….
Valkyrie
and Vance Astro find themselves in a blood red swamp on a tropical world, being
attacked by vicious hairy lizard creatures. Val becomes weaker with every blow
inflicted on the creatures until she collapses into the crimson mud; Astro uses
his psychic powers to throw off his attackers and comes to her rescue. As they
try to leave the marsh, they are aided by a glowing figure….
Aboard
the ship, Dr. Strange has to immobilize Jack Norriss to keep him from causing
trouble while they try to find their comrades….
Meanwhile,
Hulk and Yondu have arrived in a semi-medieval world during a festival marked
by drunken debauchery. They come upon a woman being threatened by several men
with swords and chase off the assailants—but the woman is angry. A band of
robots seek to arrest them for disrupting the Festival of Death but Hulk
smashes them all to bits in seconds. A huge mother robot, outraged that they
killed her babies, paralyzes Hulk and Yondu and take stem prisoner….
Dr.
Strange has his mind melded with the computer aboard the ship and scans all of
the universe for his missing comrades—and burns out the Badoon sensors; Droon
commands his minions to locate the new alien energy source….
On
the Swampworld where the glowing figure resolves itself into Starhawk and he
heals Val’s injuries. They are now in his debt….
The
mother robot Zinnia takes Hulk and Yondu before the Emperor Goozot and they are
sentenced to the Games….
While
the others (Nighthawk, Martinex, Charlie-27) are watching Dr. Strange, the
U.S.S Captain America is invaded by Badoon soldiers….
