The Silver Surfer arrives on Satriani with Empress S'Byll and the Super-Skrull, where she begins to transfer her shape-shifting powers to the other Skrulls. Clumsy Foulup agrees to work with the Kree to defeat the Skrulls, much to the pleasure of the Contemplator who has been manipulating Clusmy the whole time. The Stranger arrives on Satriani to capture S'Byll, but is stopped when Captain Reptyl offers to trade his crew for the Empress. The Strangers agrees to the deal and Reptyl becomes an ally of the Skrulls and, thus, of the Silver Surfer. Meanwhile, Shalla-Bal realizes that Nenora is actually a Skrull in disguise.
