Synopsis for "Soul, Sweet Soul"

Brief Summary:
The Silver Surfer is trapped in the mind of the Supreme Intelligence. However, no matter how hard he tries to assimilate the Surfer, the Surfer fits back. Eventually the Surfer realizes that he can still control his surfboard. He uses it to free himself from the Supreme Intelligence's mind, taking the Mind Gem and causing the Supremor to lose his mind in the process. Meanwhile, Shalla-Bal tries to contact Mantis, but instead draws the attention of the Gardener.

Detailed Summary:
The Silver Surfer's soul has been absorbed into the mind of the Supreme Intelligence. There he lives a surreal home life with a woman who changes from Shalla-Bal to Mantis. There he is attacked by two of the Kree minds that are within the Intelligence, prompting him to flee when a silver rat saves him.

Meanwhile in the real world, Nenora reports the current situation about the Surfer to her superiors in the Skrull army led by Emperor Kylor. In the Supremor's mind, the Surfer finds companions in a talking silver dog and talking plants. However, the Contemplator (in his astral form) finds that the Surfer has not yet been assimilated and informs Supremor. The Supreme Intelligence then sends the entire army of Kree minds that he has absorbed to overwhelm the Surfer.

With the help of the silver dog and plants, the Silver Surfer manages to fight them off and escapes. He meets a giant silver eagle who quickly helps him battle a manifestation of the Supreme Intelligence himself (appearing as a strange dragon with a large octopus on its head). The fight is a struggle, until the Surfer realizes that he can summon his board into the Supremor's mind through the Mind Gem. Doing so the Surfer manages to pull himself free, taking the Mind Gem with him as he exits. This causes the neutralized minds of the pink and blue skinned Kree that the Supremor had absorbed into his mind to revolt, causing the Supreme Intelligence to go mad.

On Zenn-La, Shalla-Bal attempts to contact Mantis through the plant life, however her call out to the Surfer's new love only brings trouble when the Gardener appears instead.
