Part five, of this six-part story, begins with Galactus sending the Silver Surfer off to find him another planet full of life. He goes off in search and is quickly spotted by a Kree ship. The captain of the ship sends out a call to the Surfer, which one of his men feel is crazy, knowing that the Surfer has returned to Galactus’s service. The Silver Surfer agrees, asking him why he would ever call him to his ship.

The Kree soldier makes a proposal though. He tells the Surfer to take Galactus to the Shi’ar homeworld. If Galactus is ever to be stopped, the Shi’ar homeworld would have to do it. The Silver Surfer agrees, though realizing the Kree would just want the Shi’ar, who have conquered them, to be destroyed.

Meanwhile, Alicia returns to Earth, where the heroes are gathering together for Thanksgiving. Alicia asks how they can do this, when Galactus is feasting on worlds. But Reed Richards reveals he has a plan which may be able to stop him.

Meanwhile, the Surfer comes to the Shi’ar homeworld, where they immediately arm their defenses. They attack the Surfer, but he tries to defend himself without causing any death, hoping to reach Liandra, to warn her. He comes aboard one ship and asks the captain to cease his attack, and that they must prepare for Galactus’s coming. The captain insists that he won’t come if the Surfer isn’t around, and then atomized his entire ship and crew, trying to destroy the Surfer with them. But the Silver Surfer remains unharmed… and the Kree watch in glee and then notice the arrival of the Starjammers. Who arrive and successfully shoot the Surfer out of the sky. The Shi’ar then take his body to Liandra at her request.

The Silver Surfer looks unconscience, but awakens when they take him to Liandra. Gladiator tries to attack the Surfer, but is stopped by Liandra. The Surfer then explains that he wishes to help them, at which Liandra asks why then he sent Galactus there. He reveals that it’s because only the Shi’ar could save the galaxy from Galactus.

Meanwhile, the Kree spot Galactus’s large ship coming closer to the Shi’ar homeworld.

Back at the homeworld, the Fantastic Four and Avengers show up. Gladiator insists that they should not trust Reed Richards after he defended Galactus (in the Trial of Galactus). But Liandra silences him again and then turns to Reed Richards, asking if he has a plan to save her people.
