Centuries ago,
our forefathers waged a gallant
battle to possess this planet, Karra-Des
They failed
Over the years,
all reconnaissance drones sent to
investigate this area have been lost
I have prevailed upon
the new Prime Minister
to let us redeem this
blot on Kree history
I, personally,
will lead the assault to
secure this entire system.
For the glory of the Supremor!
For the glory of the Supremor!
What is that?
Instruments show a level
ten spatial anomaly.
Level ten?
That's impossible!
Ship! Come about!
Steer us clear of that
thing Full speed! Full speed!
Ko-Val [General] to fleet -- apply
tractor beams at once!
General Ko-Val!
Acknowledge! Acknowledge!
General! What
are your orders?
Colonel listen to me!
Saveyourselves
You mean to tell me
you didn't search
for General Ko-Val?
Sir, he ordered us
to save ourself.
The General's loss didn't
frighten you, did it, Edokk?
I'm a Kree warrior,
Prime Minister Zarek
I fear nothing.
Code Alpha! Kree-Lar system
defenses have been breached!
The invasion force is above the planet,
currently repelled by our deflectors!
Above the planet?!
Where was the warning?
This is the warning.
The entire invasion has consumed
merely twenty-seven seconds so far.
What kind of invaders
can move with such speed?
Not "invaders,"
Invader
The Silver Surfer!
Once again, the Kree have proven
themselves to be formidable foes
I had hoped to gain entrance to their
capitol by the use of sheer speed
But this energy barrier has
negated any advantage I gained.
Still, having obtained their
attention, I may yet achieve my goal.
People of the Kree!
I come in peace!
He lies! He brings
Galactus upon Kree-Lar!
According to our Intelligence,
the Surfer is no longer
involved with Galactus
There is no need to fight!
My mission is a personal one --
City! Order our
ships to cease fire.
The Silver Surfer is not an invader.
He has fired only in self-defense
Silver Surfer! Please
accept our warmest welcome.
Our escort will guide you down.
Such a "hospitality"
is difficult to refuse.
A tangy treat from the
far end of the Kirby Cluster
I need to neither eat nor drink
for sustenance, Prime Minister.
On the other hand
if I might avail myself here?
And now, Silver Surfer, what is
this "personal mission" of yours?
Since my earliest youth,
I have heard the Kree
Supreme Intelligence
praised for its wisdom.
Now I would like to
utilize that wisdom.
That is not possible!
The Supremor is no publicly
accessible database,
he is a collective consciousness
the absolute ruler of the Empire!
Who better to turn to for the
location of my lost home planet?
I mean no insult to the Kree,
nor do I want your secrets.
My only interest is in the
world known as Zenn-La.
Surfer, the guiding precept of the
Kree Empire can be put in one word --
- utility.
If I agree to grant you an
audience with our leader
are you prepared to demonstrate
your usefulness to us?
In other words, you
seek some sort of payment.
Let me make that still clearer
I seek it in advance.
The Kree wish me to investigate what
happened to their lost General Ko-Val
and bring back the findings
To that end, have they provided
me with this Analytical Belt
Never before have I heard of an outsider
being allowed to use their technology.
This mission must be more
important than it seems --
The anomaly described in the
reports from the general's fleet!
I do not know what
data the belt is receiving --
But I detect enough energy within this
strange object to fill an entire star system!
The anomaly is far more
dangerous than I thought!
There is only one way to solve
this mystery, and to do it I risk all.
Yet it is worth any price if
I can return to Shalla Bal!
What is happening here?
If I did not know differently,
I would assume I had
never left normal space!
That ship, it must be Ko-Val's
The configuration of these
others, however, is antique
although their condition
appears new!
No mercy, Kree!
Who are you?
Adam Warlock.
Defender of Karra-Des!
Which side you on?
Kree? Or freedom?
I am the Silver Surfer, and
I am not here to fight.
This is not my battle!
Look around you!
Doesn't it make
your blood pound?
They are all our battles!
Well, Surfer, what is it to be?
It would appear I have
no choice.
I stand with you.
Well done, my ally!
You too are a formidable
warrior, Adam Warlock.
But I have many questions
about what is happening here --
"Questions?" There's
no time for questions.
We have to put these
tyrants in their place!
Yes, come to me!
More fodder for the cause!
The battle goes well,
and yet this entire situation
is exceedingly strange
An entire Kree Division,
in ships from long ago,
fighting one man
And all of it occurring within a segment
of space that should not exist
Adam Warlock and I have
destroyed countless vessels
but they leave not a trace
as though they
never were here!
Thank you, friend Surfer!
Together we've saved my
homeworld from destruction
or worse
by the accursed Kree!
Indeed, Adam,
victory is ours.
How, though, did
you get such power?
And to be in this place
No mercy, Kree!
Never would I have thought
such a thing possible.
The battle is unfolding
exactly as before!
Adam Warlock.
Defender of Karra-Des!
Which side you on?
Kree? Or freedom?
I am the Silver Surfer!
Have you no memory
of me? Of all this?
What's there to remember?
There's only the battle --
-- and the victory!
Adam Warlock does not seem to
know he is not in real space.
Perhaps he will come to his senses
if I remove him from here.
But how?
If anyone can understand his
feelings about his world, it is I!
Warlock!
The Kree have infiltrated your world!
This is the battle
to keep them away!
And it has only just begun!
You have been outflanked!
The people of Karra-Des have
sent me for your help!
We must hurry!
Follow me!
Where is Karra-Des?
Beyond this Kree-manufactured barrier.
No Kree barrier will keep me
from defending my world!
We must work together
to get through it.
Do not stop!
It is responding!
Warlock, are you all right?
I --
I don't know
Where am I?
You have been trapped in what
appears to be a time anomaly,
fighting the same
battle over and over.
No!
No, that's not true!
I've been doing what I was
born to do! Defending my home!
My home --
-- Karra-Des!
Warlock! Wait!
Oh no! My home!
It's all gone!
How?
Why?
Think, think, Warlock!
Perhaps you will recall
I can see pieces.
We were a planet of
scientists and researchers,
who refused to give our
discoveries to the Kree
We were attacked.
Karra-Des had no army,
and our losses were great
The High Evolutionary Council
created me
out of the most potent
DNA on the planet
To be its champion,
and both defend and protect!
That's all I know.
Did the war end?
- Did I fail?
- From what I have seen and heard,
you have succeeded.
You drove the Kree
off, generations ago.
Then what could
have happened here?
Why have I been out in
space, fighting all this time?
There is only one place where
those facts may be found
and, if I am fortunate, answers
to my own questions as well
Will you come with me, Warlock,
to the planet of your enemies?
Kree-Lar!
So, Silver Surfer,
you have returned
But instead of General
Ko-Val and his ship, you bring me --
Adam Warlock, Defender
of Karra-Des!
Now, Kree, tell me, what
happened to my world?
You think to
threaten Kree-Lar?
Zarek, your general is
trapped in the Anomaly,
endlessly reliving an
ancient battle.
The Analytical Belt has recorded
all the necessary information.
Therefore, in accordance with our
bargain, I would see the Supremor.
No, Silver Surfer.
It is we who would see
Adam Warlock and you!
Welcome, Silver Surfer,
Adam Warlock.
We are the Supreme
Intelligence
You are the Supreme bringer
of suffering and despair
- throughout the universe!
- No!
It would seem you have
us at a disadvantage.
We would not be the
Supremor if we did not.
Ah, Adam Warlock,
long have we wondered if the
rumors of your existence were true.
Had we allowed them
to become public,
you would be an interstellar
legend now!
I would settle for
being your nightmare.
"Nightmare?" Hardly.
How could you frighten those you
are going to so greatly benefit?
For millennia, the Kree have been
masters of genetic manipulation.
But even we reached a
plateau we could not surpass.
In an attempt to revitalize our
race, we sought and failed
to obtain new knowledge
from Karra-Des.
Now, the only being
ever to best us
is in our hands
And, once we have taken him apart,
we can make our
race truly invincible
using Adam Warlock's own DNA
Supremor! You must
not do this thing!
Silver Surfer, you have
served me well.
You may go
- Save yourself.
- No!
You are here because of me.
I shall not leave you behind!
You cannot do this!
I am the Supremor!
I am Supreme!!!
I will take us out of here.
We will be free!
I
I live!
And all your genetic
material remains intact.
If only my home lived as well.
I'll never know what happened!
Thank you for your request.
Information processed.
The Analytical Belt! The Supremor
did not deign to examine it!
In studying the Anomaly
and related phenomena,
this Analyzer discovered
chrono-syncratic images,
like moments frozen in time
I will now replay those images
They show that after Adam
Warlock defeated the Kree
many citizens of Karra-Des
feared their own hero
Thinking that as someone
who knew only the ways of war,
he might turn against them
A Temporal Anomaly was
created to lock him away.
There Warlock would relive
his great battle for all eternity
But many disagreed.
What if he should
be needed again?
To impose this point of view,
its adherents created a
warrior of their own
The other side retaliated in kind.
More warriors were created
The result was inevitable.
Karra-Des, and everyone,
on it, was destroyed.
In saving my planet,
I destroyed it!
How can I live with
that knowledge?
How can I go on?
The universe is filled with
good people, Adam Warlock,
people weakened by
injustice and greed.
Soar out to it with me,
and you are sure to find a new
cause, a new home, to champion!
I have a home, friend Surfer.
Where I can leave
my memories behind
and live forever in glory,
defending Karra-Des!
It's ironic, isn't it?
You learned nothing that
you wanted from the Kree
while I have learned
too much.
Often have I felt overwhelmed
by my own loss,
and the futility of my
search for Zenn-La
Yet now I leave behind a man who
could almost have been a brother,
knowing that although
his world no longer exists,
still has he found
a way to return.
My resolve is stronger than ever.
My home does exist,
and never will I rest
until I set foot on its
peaceful soil!
Yes, come to me!
More fodder for the cause!
