On the chunk of Manhattan orbiting
Seknarf Seven as a food colony, Amadeus Cho addresses the citizens: they were
able to summon Alpha Flight but the aliens will be returning soon: should they
hand over three of them or fight? Amadeus has worked out some of their
vulnerabilities but Jeffrey Gunderblank balks out of fear. Jimmy Woo puts the
issue in practical terms: this will be a real fight for their lives. Ms. Marvel
and Silk are building protective bunkers for the children and noncombatants
while Jake Oh is leading work on figuring out how the power systems work. But
the aliens come early and they know what the humans have been doing so Prince
Regent Phalkan demands their three sacrifices. Instead Shang-Chi and the others
launch their attack with explosives and kung fu but Phalkan cuts off the
gravity and they humans work together so that no one is lost. With the threat
to cut off the oxygen, Jimmy Woo and Jake Oh volunteer as expendable; Amadeus
chooses to be the third. But the humans are able to cut the shielding enabling
Amadeus to change into the Hulk and clobber all of the Guards, snatching Jimmy
and Jake and returning to the ground. They power up life support and the battle
is on, with the heroes shielding the humans from the enemy blast—but Jeffrey
Gunderblank is mortally wounded; this makes Hulk and the others mad and Hulk
leads a frenzied charge against the enemy….
