Synopsis for "Neanderthals!"
Brief Summary:
The Skrulls and Captain Reptyl prepare for their war with the Kree. Shalla-Bal is kidnapped by a Kree Sentry for the secret that she knows about Supreme Leader Nenora. That she is a Skrull in disguise. Captain Reptyl starts a fight with the Super-Skrull and kills him in battle. Reptyl takes over the command of the Skrull forces and the Silver Surfer holds a funeral for the Super-Skrull.
Detailed Summary:
As the Skrulls prepare for their war with the Kree, Captain Reptyl collects his weapons and crew from the Coalsack Nebula. The Silver Surfer tries to contact Shalla-Bal, but she is currently away in the deserts of Zenn-La.
Shalla-Bal is creating plant life in the desert when a hidden Kree Sentry breaks through the earth and captures her. Supreme Leader Nenora has ordered her to be captured and brought back to Kree-Lar, because she has found out that Shalla-Bal knows that she is really a Skrull in disguise. The Contemplator continues his exploration of Kree-Lar, hidden within his astral form, when he comes across the Supreme Intelligence in a catatonic state.
Captain Reptyl returns to Satriani and the Skrulls. He starts a fight with the Super-Skrull and they engage in lethal combat. Reptyl bites the Super-Skrull's neck and fells him. The Silver Surfer swoops in to avenge his death, but Empress S'Byll stops the fight from continuing. She explains to the Surfer that the Super-Skrull was proven weak and now Captain Reptyl will lead the Skrulls into battle. The Silver Surfer brings the Super-Skrull's body into space, sending him to rest in peace on a nearby planet.
