Seeking to discover the reason for its attack, they follow the creature's trail back underground, to an enormous cavern filled with diamonds. There, they are attacked by the Mole Man's moloids, which succeed in immobilizing the quartet. The Mole Man appears and explains that he was the reason for the creature's emergence, having hidden one of her eggs in the Baxter Building so as to lure her away from the others, all of which are about to hatch. Upon their emergence, they would imprint upon him, allowing him to control them. Armed with this knowledge, Sue escapes and returns to the surface, locating the missing egg just as it hatches and the mother breaks free of the stasis field.

As Ben prepares to watch the finals of a soccer match, he is taunted by Johnny, who assures him that with Ben's luck something will happen to prevent him from watching the game. No sooner does Ben turn the game on when the broadcast is interrupted by an energy beam that has traced itself across North America. The Four fly into orbit, where Reed scans the energy path. The path forms words that when translated spell out "Mine". The Four are then nearly hit by an object plummeting towards New York City, which touches down in the city streets. What lands is an enormous armored being who calls himself Terminus, and announces he has arrived to plunder the planet. He tosses aside an alien he brought with him, who informs the Four that he guided Terminus to Earth in the hope that the Four could defeat him. After their initial attacks fail, Johnny buys time by leading Terminus to various locations in search of promised treasure. As they travel to various locations, Susan and Ben try a series of assaults which fail. Reed then has Johnny direct Terminus to Central Park, where Reed affixes anti-gravity disks to Terminus's massive body, sending him into space. The strategy fails, as Terminus returns and begins destroying the planet. Inspired by a statement of Johnny's, Reed gets Sue to channel some of the energy from Terminus's lance back onto him, allowing Ben to tear apart the armor, exposing the bloated, regular sized alien within. When he attempts another attack, a fissure opens underneath Terminus, causing him to fall into the earth -- where he faces the minions of an angry Mole Man.
