Synopsis:  At the launch site a hostile Nova threatens Hanklin, who has just launched a rocket into space with Namorita, Marvel Boy, Firestar and Star Thief on board.  Hanklin reveals to Nova that the chemicals will be dumped on the moon in order to get rid of a city established there and it's residents.  Meanwhile, the rocket has just cleared Earth's orbit.  Inside Namorita is suffering from dehydration.  Star Thief says he intends to incinerate the ship and the chemicals, destroying the Warriors on board with it, in order to prevent the chemicals from being dumped in space.  Marvel Boy, thinking that they will die, reveals his face and name to Firestar.  Nita wakes up and tells them not to give up so easily.  Just then they are mysteriously teleported away.  Back on Earth, the remaining Warriors assist in putting out fires that were created due to the rocket launch and their battle with Star Thief and the Mandroids.  In Egypt, the mysterious woman from the last few issues is seen unlocking a hidden burial tomb which she claims is her own.  Elsewhere, Namorita is awakened and greeted by Triton who tells her that they are in Attilan, in the blue area of the moon where the inhumans live.  She joins Marvel Boy, Firestar, and Star Thief, who stand before the Inhuman Council of Elders.  It is at this time that Star Thief explains how he came to possess his powers.  He was struck by an ozone analyzer from an experimental satellite.  He then vowed to never let man's exploration of space harm another person.  It is at this time that Karnak informs the council that the rocket is headed for Attilan.  Star Thief exclaims that Attilan must be destroyed.  He is offended by the existence of a city on the moon and feels that if it were discovered it would further the development of the space program.  The New Warriors and the Inhumans engage in combat with Star Thief, who is hurled down a long tunnel.  Back on Earth, Nova, Night Thrasher, Speedball, and Chord attempt to contact the Avengers and Fantastic Four for aide with no luck.  Back on the moon the New Warriors and the Inhumans follow the tunnel to see Star Thief held captive by the Watcher.  Star Thief, seeing the vastness of space, comes to the realization that space exploration is not to blame, but the exploitation of it is.  With that the Inhumans and the Warriors device a plan to destroy the rocket before it reaches Attilan.  Black Bolt, Star Thief, and Firestar combine their powers to destroy the rocket and any traces of the chemicals inside.  Shortly after the New Warriors are teleported back to the Ambrose Building by Lockjaw, while Star Thief has chosen to remain on Attilan among the Inhumans.  The rest of the Warriors return and they are reunited.
