Hulk keeps pounding away at the tower housing the Sacred Flame until the flame, now fused with Tyrannus, shoots off into outer space. Hulk and Goldbug are teleported to New York, where Goldbug is caught by Cage and Iron Fist who bring him to the police. Fred Sloan continues to interview Betty Ross for his Hulk book. The new head of Gamma Base, newly-promoted Colonel Glenn Talbot, reiterates his commitment to taking down the Hulk.
