Nolan wipes away his tears, realizing that he cared for the Thraxans, though claiming them to be inferior. Mark attempts to comfort Nolan, but Nolan tainted with rage, grabs Mark neck.

Mark intervenes but was easily swept away. Mark is then taken captive by a Viltrumite who attempts to suffocate Mark. Mark attempts to get him to let go, but his punch has little effect on him. Nolan knocks his opponent to the Viltrumite and tells Mark stop thinking and act instead. The duo began to fly towards Mark and Nolan

On Earth, the disfigured Mauler is poisoned by his clone and plans to clone himself.
From evening until morning, Mark and Nolan would battle the two Viltrumites. Nolan manages to beat his opponent by smashing his temples with his fists. He goes over to help Mark and grabs the Viltrumite’s throat. Nolan headbutts him, causing his eye to pop out the socket. It is revealed that Lucan survived his ordeal with Nolan, but not without being disemboweled. He ambushes Nolan, breaking his spine while he manages to hold his intestines together. Lucan succumbs to his injuries and loses consciousness. While the four are unconscious, a Viltrumite informs his superior that “it’s done.”

Nolan is then taken into Viltrumite custody and the four have their injuries tended to. Before he leaves, he tells Mark to read his books. The Viltrumite tell Mark that he has proven himself worthy and he will act as the Viltrumite agent for Earth, taking Nolan’s position.

Mark then uses to time to rest. Mark goes back to the cave where Andressa is located. Andressa demands to know where her husband and Mark tells her of Nolan’s capture.
