Synopsis for 1st story
Galactus denies Silver Surfer his requests for help as he says he will continue to avoid destroying planets based on the burden it is brings him.
The Guardians end up in Knowhere and regroup with the Novas who are suprised they survived the fight. Nova tells the Guardians that he is going to go back out to look for his brother Robbie (Talon-R).
There is an argument over the power stone as Gamora, Starlord, and the Novas all have thoughts on who should hold on to it. Gamora refuses to give it away and nearly comes to blows but Drax decides he will take it threatening anyone who wants it to come and take it from him.
Starlord is immediately called off from the group by Cosmo who leads him to the Collector and Grandmaster. They have a reality stone that is not functional and ask Peter to inspect it but they are interrupted by a Captain Marvel from another dimension who warps in. Starlord recognizes her as Phyla. She demands and the reality stone that Starlord, the Collector and the Grandmaster have in their possession. Starlord gives it to her.
Back on Saiph, Adam Warlock attempts to stop the rockets Ultron is launching to no prevail. Luckily he is interrupted by Silver Surfer's assistance. And following him is Galactus, whom Ultron believes is the Guardians in their previous Galactus mech suit. Galactus begins destroying the planet and his suit changes from gold back to his typical purple.
Ultron flees but Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer catch him in space and capture the soul stone from him. Ultron manages to get away hiding in the rubble of the recently destroyed Saiph rubble. Adam Warlock thanks Silver Surfer but quickly finds out Galactus is now back to his old ways and Silver Surfer will be his Herald once again.
