  The Imperial Guard arrive on earth and battle the Avengers left behind in order to rescue Warstar, Atlas and Minerva. Through a bit of trickery, they capture Captain Atlas and take him off planet. The Avengers are left with Minerva trying to figure out exactly what just happened. Quasar intercepts the Imperial Guard but most of them escape with Atlas.
