Synopsis for 1st story
The Guardians 3000 have located the suspect, Emil Blonsky who is on a carousel. They hear him mumbling about stars disappearing. As the other Guardians suspect why they were sent to do this small job, Major Victory tells them that Starhawk had sensed specific psionic pattern matches, indicating it could be another tragedy due to the Madness.
As they reach Emil, they question him, but Emil keeps talking about the disappearing stars. Suddenly, he escalates, transforming into an Abomination. They are able to defeat it by shooting him in the eye, ultimately killing him.
Major Victory approaches his domain's Baron, Michael Korvac, who is accompanied by his wife, and tells him about what happened. Meanwhile, Starhawk and Geena Drake try to find out more about the Madness. Star hawk realizes that if the infection is not found and destroyed, their domain will be destroyed, due to their Baron unable to keep Doomlaw.
Soon, the Avengers arrive the Forest Hills, and are greeted by the Guardians. Soon, Michael Korvac meets the Baron of the Domain next door, Simon WIllaims, better known as the Wonder Man.
As Lady Carnia goes back to her room, she finds out that there are no more stars...
