Doc Samson has arrived at Gamma Base following the Hulk’s televised battle against the U-Foes. There he only finds Betty Ross and the defeated U-Foes. Betty explains to Samson how Bruce Banner has full control over the Hulk. this upsets her because she was hoping to find a cure for Bruce so that they could have a normal life together. When Samson tries to empathize with Betty, she tells him that he doesn’t know how she feels because she doesn’t know her own feelings either. Meanwhile, Bereet is taking the Hulk and Rick to New york City aboard her Banshee Mask. There, Banner hopes to find allies who will help him petition for amnesty from the United States government now that he has the Hulk under control. This idea leave Rick Jones to wonder what sort of future he has with the Hulk now that Banner is in full control now. En route, Bereet takes the opportunity to jettison her Techno-Art devices that were destroyed in the battle with the U-Foes, including her Star Eye, which contains all the footage from her Techno-Art movies. As they take off, the mysterious employer of Jackdaw collects the ruined Techno-Art devices from space and brings them aboard his space station. Here, this mystery man hopes to use them in his ongoing scheme against the Hulk. Arriving in New York City, the Hulk first pays a visit to the Baxter Building, headquarters to the Fantastic Four. His sudden appearance frightens both the Invisible Girl and her son Franklin, leading to a brief clash between the Hulk and the team. However, Mister Fantastic stops his teammates pointing out that Banner is now the dominant persona of the Hulk. The Hulk then asks Reed Richards for his help in his quest to get amnesty. Sometime later in Washington, D.C., General Ross meets with the President to give his opinion on the current situation with the Hulk. When the President asks if he should pardon the Hulk, Ross refuses that as a possibility. They then turn their attention to the lawn of the White House where an assembly of the press and heroes from North America have arrived to listen to Matt Murdock to give a speech and deliver the request of amnesty for the Hulk. Suddenly, alien ships appear over the sky in Washington, putting all the heroes on alert. Bereet recognises them as the Krylorian ships that she fictionalised for her Techo-Art films about the Hulk, leaving her to wonder where they came from now that her Star Eye has been destroyed. Regardless, the Hulk leaps into battle and helps the assembled heroes destroy these invading crafts. The ships are soon destroyed before they can cause any damage to the capital, mostly thanks to the Hulk. When the battle is over the wrecks of the alien ships suddenly disappear. Although their origin is a mystery, the response to this attack has eliminated any doubt to the claims that Bruce Banner is in full control of the Hulk. The heroes then celebrate the Hulk’s victory, much to his surprise. The President and General Ross also find no reason to deny the request for a pardon. Watching from his satellite, the Leader tells his agent, Jackdaw, that everything is goign according to his plans.
