Planet K'ai is still on its collision course with Earth. And on the surface, K'aians are dying while Skaar and Hiro-Kala do battle. Banner is convinced to help the Worldmind cure all of the brainwashed K'aians. He does so by attaching his technology to the entity.

Meanwhile, the twin brothers still do battle. With the Old Power being used, they show each other old echoes of their past. Skaar tries teaching his twin that though they are monsters, their father can teach them to change. On cue, Banner teleports in. Hiro-Kala then uses the Old Power to show how when he destroyed a planet to poison Galactus, Caiera appeared before him and told him that what he did was brave. However, the Worldmind reveals that what happened was actually a figment of his imagination. Enraged, Hiro-Kala unleashes the full fury of his power. Skaar is forced to encase his body in stone, showing that he learned to control his powers, whereas his twin couldn't. Skaar then directs his father to K'ai close proximity to Earth. He calls A-Bomb and Korg to let loose the volcanoes, throwing K'ai off its axis and course, saving both worlds.

Banner then tells Skaar to get Hiro-Kala back to the stone ship, only to be refused. As the Worldmind explained, it tried three times to reform Hiro-Kala and three times he failed. Hiro-Kala is merged with the Worldmind to create a miniature sun, to use the Old Power to warm K'ai.

As the Hulks get ready to depart, Axeman Bone calls to Skaar, remarking that even though he swore to kill him, K'ai could use a hero. Skaar declines.

As the ship takes off, the Hulk becomes distant from everyone else.
