Galactus has arrived on Earth to give the Fantastic Four an ultimatum: Give him the Silver Surfer or face the destruction of the Earth. Refusing to do either, the FF and the Surfer attack Galactus, but his cosmic might proves too much for them to handle.
The Surfer suggests that Galactus' only weakness is his ship which is the only way he can travel from world to world. Reed and Sue head for the Baxter building while Ben, Johnny, and the Surfer keep Galactus distracted. Launching themselves into Earth's orbit in one of their rockets. Reed and Sue travel to Galactus' ship.
Space walking to the shuttle, Reed manages to get aboard and get himself to the control room and commandeer the craft. From inside he radios Galactus, telling the cosmic entity that he now has control of his ship and that a mere mortal has the power to exile Galactus on Earth.
