As a young boy named Kei Kawade draws in his room, monsters start to rain down from the sky. The Avengers take on one of such monsters in Boston as the Vision picks up similar incidents all around the world: Storm and her team of X-Men take on a monster in London; the Black Panther and Shuri take on another monster in Wakanda; the Guardians of the Galaxy face a snake-like monster in Seattle; and the Inhumans fight a multi-headed monster terrorizing Venice.
Meanwhile, Moon Girl analyzes the situation from her secret laboratory at the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and decides to figure out this problem with science. As another monster attacks Los Angeles, being eventually dealt with by the Champions, Elsa Bloodstone finds a prophecy in the ancient ruins of Peru that say that the invading monsters fear only one thing: their king. Kei Kawade sneaks out of his house to learn more about what is going on, but is confronted by the monsters Fin Fang Foom, Gorgilla, Green Thing, and Zzutak.
More and more monsters started to rain down on Earth. Alpha Flight intercepted a swarm of monsters in space, with Captain Marvel letting her Avengers friends know about the updated situation: a bigger swarm of monsters is heading towards the planet.
Captain America receives updates from a team of representatives (Queen Medusa, Storm, Star-Lord, Carol, and Agent Coulson). Carol informs them Alpha Flight is handling the attacks in space, Ororo is summoning an all-call of all the teams of X-Men and even the Hellfire Club to come and assist. Phil even lets them know that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are armed with Pym Particles to come help them in Oregon. Sam then mentions that their main plan should be to cut off the source at the head. Other superhero teams are helping all over the world. Winter Guard is taking on a Leviathon in Russia, Storm and Magneto are battling another one at the Hoover Dam in Nevada, and Valkyrie and Warrior Woman is facing a massive one in Scotland.
In New York, Lunella is analyzing the situation. She's trying to figure out what they are saying and doing. Suddenly, a device near her tells her that there must be a offering, the ruler calls, and that Earth is going to be razed. In Illinois, Elsa Bloodstone is searching for clues. She arrives at an elementary school and finds a drawing that is identical to one of the Leviathons. She sees a symbol and recognizes it and goes to see the drawer: Kei.
Kei is sitting with his family in his house and is reminded that his family and him will always be together. When he goes back to his room to go draw, his mother remind the father that 'it's' happening again and the father says that whatever this is, it's much worse.
