Synopsis for "The Three Avengers"

Eight months after Captain America and the Avengers began hunting the Illuminati, the Gardeners desperately try to keep a star in the Alpha Whaan System alive. Their effort fails, and five gardeners lose their lives. When they try to understand what is causing the stars to die, Abyss tells them that they have simply been ignoring the obvious truth; the universe is dying. She reveals that the causes of this universal death are concentrated on Earth. Determined to find out what is causing the collapse of the universe, they begin making their way to Earth.

On Chandilar, Sunspot and Manifold suddenly teleport into the home of their former teammates Cannonball and Smasher. After doing some catching up, Sunspot convinces them to return home with him, as Sunspot needs them for his plan to end the conflict that has erupted between the heroes of Earth.

Meanwhile, in the Oasian Field in outer space, Starbrand and Nightmask fight an Aleph. The duo examine the Aleph after defeating it, and Nightmask concludes that it slipped through the cracks between universes, the survivor of an entire Builder frigate trying and failing to pass between realities. Their speculation as to what would cause the Builders to attempt such a desperate maneuver is interrupted by a message from Sunspot, who asks them to return home to Earth in order to deal with the imminent collapse of the universe.

In the Savage Land on Earth, the Children of the Sun and A.I.M., now under the management of Sunspot, are hard at work constructing a machine, under the supervision of Hyperion. After their test of the power source goes awry, Hyperion leaves to find Thor. No longer worthy of Mjolnir, Thor broods alone at the top of a mountain. Hyperion tries to encourage him, despite the fact that the two are soon to undertake a dangerous mission, telling him that despite all that they have lost, this is when they will both rise.

In S.H.I.E.L.D. Station: Golgotha, formerly known as Avengers Tower, the station's security forces detect a breach in their facility. This breach is Amadeus Cho, a new addition to the Illuminati, who has infiltrated the station to secure the missing Tony Stark's files. The S.H.I.E.L.D. forces detect him and begin pursuit, blocking his translocation technology to prevent his escape.

While Cho nearly manages to flee from the Avengers, he is apprehended by the Invisible Woman, who interrogate him as to the whereabouts of the Illuminati. Cho refuses to answer and is taken into custody.
