However, before he can send a message to warn Earth, an alien vessel causes a sun in the middle of the galaxy to overload and implode, creating a massive shockwave that destroys his ship.

Doom informs A-Next of the current situation, but they are busy dealing with their lifelong adversaries, the Red Queen and her Revengers.

At school, May Parker chats with her friends about her future plans and later leaves to perform her daily role as Spider-Girl.

Dominas continues to wreak havoc on the Shi'ar Throneworld, and his master Galactus prepares to devour it completely.

Galactus reveals to Dominas that he no longer desires to merely sate his hunger, but to gather energy with the intention of evolving to the next level.

Once the F5 find their missing teammates, they advise the President about the situation and head back home to help deal with it.

Back on Earth, Vision has agreed to send in a few members of A-Next to battle the Revengers, including Spider-Girl, Stinger, Mainframe, and Thunderstrike.

As Thunderstrike's secret identity is revealed, Spider-Girl and the rest decide to let the Revengers escape to bring their teammate into safety.

Reed Richards makes a desperate decision to use his single-shot transdimensional cannon, which is his one hope of stopping Galactus, against the bolt and its originators.

The Captain America star is to be the focus, and all the gathered living energies are to be directed at it in a recreation, on a far greater scale, of the sun-implosion at the beginning of the miniseries.

The Surfer's Power Cosmic and Scarlet Witch's reality-altering power combined enable Reed's machine to destroy Galactus's barrier, and Stinger, American Dream and Spider-Girl manage to reverse the effect of Galactus' device, causing him immense pain through an overload of energies.

As the Surfer eventually faces the dying, energy-saturated Galactus, they somehow merge into a new unnamed entity who declares that a new form of energy, the "Power Essential," has been born through the union.

The limited series has been collected in a trade paperback: When this miniseries was first introduced to the fans, Marvel revealed that it would be the final adventures of the MC2 universe.

When the fans "revolted" against this decision, it was quickly made clear that the final pages of the miniseries were not yet completed and that if this series was well by the public, the MC2 universe would be spared.
