The Hulk is on the shuttle after having defeated SHIELD's technology gone bad when the onboard screen comes on and shows Mr. Fantastic, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, and Black Bolt. Mr. Fantastic tells the Hulk how his anger has threatened the planet too many times and that they have to take this opportunity to send him away for everyone's sake. The shuttel in caught in a worm hole as Mr. Fantastic continues to explain that this is a great opportunity and that they have picked a planet with vegeetation and game but no life forms. The Hulk looks down and sees that there was a navigation error and he is not where the four heroes thought they had sent him.

As the Hulk comes out of the shuttle, a number of insectoid creatures swarm over the ship and attack the Hulk. The Hulk throws them off and says that they can not even hurt him and just as he says that, one shots the Hulk and makes him bleed. The Hulk is surprised at first and then angry as he charges towards them. The Hulk continues to beat up the group of insectoids as another group of aliens, red is skin color and more humanoid in appearance look from overhead. They shoot a small object into the back of the Hulk's neck. Suddnely the Hulk understands what they are saying as one states tht he has never seen one who could stand after passing through the hole. The one in charge realizes that the Hulk can now understand him due to the talkbot that shot at him and says that the is the governor of the Wukar province and that by the order of the crown Prince, everything that fell through the hole is imperial property. The insectoids protest and say that whoever finds the stuff first gets first pick but the other person says that the law has changed. The insectoids remind the other race that the red king promised them and that war has destroyed their crops and wildebots are coming. The life of their hive depends on them finding items falling through the hole. The other race tells them to kneel which they do but the Hulk keeps standing. The red humanoids tell the Hulk that they are impressed he is still standing after coming through the portal and that their scientists will study his ship but he will learn how to serve the emperor and must first kneel. The Hulk grabs his ship and throws it at them and then jumps at them, while telling him he does not kneel. Before the Hulk can reach them, the Hulk is shot with a small dart and immediately falls to the ground unconscious.

The Hulk wakes up to find himself in a city square being auctioned off with some of the insectoids. He tries to get free but is still too weak to break the chains that are binding him. The Hulk and insectoids are bought together and a box is placed over him so that he can be transported. The Hulk eventually breaks out of the metal cage to find himself in an area full of insect creatures. Up in the stands, the King tells one of his governors that he is not impressed by this green creature but the governor tells him to wait just one minute. Suddenly,the announcer introduces the mazorus and his feeding habits. A grey-colored insectoid stands next to the Hulk and wonders what they are referring to. A large tentacles creatures comes up from underneath the ground and starts attacking. The Hulk grabs one of the monsters tongues and gets pulled into the creatures mouth. The King tells the governor that he is bored again and the governor starts to apologize when suddnely blood flies everywhere as the Hulk bursts out of the creatures head. Two more of the creatures burst out of the ground and start to attack. Some of the yellow-skinned insectoids give us but the grey one grabs them and starts to run. The Hulk grabs a large axe and cuts the head off of both of them with one swing. The grey insectoid thanks the Hulk but the Hulk thinks he is being tricked but the insectoid shows the Hulk that the crows are cheering for them. He shows the Hulk where the Red King is sitting and says that they may get pardoned now. The Hulk asks the insectoid if the Red King is the one who runs the planet and when the insectoid says yes, the Hulk jumps towards the King, happy knowing who he has to smash. Before the Hulk can reach him, a grey skinned woman steps up and shoots the Hulk with a gun, sending him flying back towards the arena floor. The woman is about to jump down and finish the job when the Red King tells her that he will take care of the Hulk himself. The stunned Hulk starts to pick himself off the ground when the Red King stands next to him, in a battle suit, thanking the Hulk for trying to attack him so he could has some fun. He throws the Hulk a sword which the Hulk picks up and attacks but the Red King is too quickly in his battle suit. The King tells the Hulk that he is the strongest there is and manages to cut the Hulk. The King then turns to two of the yellow insectoids and kills them. The grey insectoid comes charging after the King, calling him a killer and is almost killed himself when the Hulk pushes him aside and tells him that the King is his but the King just says that the Hulk just has not learned. The Hulk jumps up from behind and manages to cut the King on his face. The King is surprised, needless to say, by this. The Hulk is about to come in and finish the job when the grey skinned woman jumps down and blocks the Hulk's sword with one of her own and tells the Hulk to drop his sword but the Hulk tells her to forget it. She tells the Hulk that he may be a quick study but he can't beat her and this is not his world and the Hulk just replies "not yet" which amuses her. They are about to battle when the King fires a cheap shot at the Hulk from behind and knocks him out. The King address the crowd and tells them that he is granting the Hulk his life. The Kings assisstant asks since the Hulk made the King bleed in front of a crowd, if it was wise to let him live. The King replies that the Hulk is actually going straight to the Maw and he will be far from living.

During the transport, the grey skinned insectoid tells everyone not to look out the window but they do and see the Maw. One of the insectoids starts to cry but the Hulks tells them that the place is going to be fun.
