Chapter Summaries

Daisy learned that the Moon Dragon was trying to escape its ancient seal on Titan and refused Elysius’s request to destroy its undead servants. Elysius tried to bargain with her, and Daisy became especially interested in the offer of Credits while probing for Titan’s knowledge.

• Elysius explained that the Moon Dragon’s undead priests were searching Titan for technology to help it escape its seal.
• Daisy rejected Elysius’s request to kill the undead, arguing that she and Wanda were only passing through and should leave the matter to the Mentor’s plans.
• Daisy reasoned that Drax’s daughter was likely destined to defeat the Moon Dragon, and she did not believe its threat to Earth required her intervention.
• Elysius offered weapons, knowledge, a spaceship, Titan training, or Credits in exchange for help, and the mention of Credits caught Daisy’s attention.
• Daisy questioned Elysius about Titan’s knowledge, but the artificial intelligence made sharing it conditional on eliminating the danger on Titan.

Daisy agreed to help Elysius destroy the Priests of Pama so Elysius’s children could reach the surface, then searched Titan’s records for the Cosmic Orb. The records suggested the Orb might be the Power Stone, but its trail had gone cold, so Daisy asked for the latest information about Xandarians.

• Elysius explained that her oath to Mar-Vell prevented her from leaving the underground base, and Daisy agreed to help eliminate the Priests of Pama.
• Daisy and Wanda spent the night in the underground base and spoke with Elysius over breakfast.
• Daisy searched Elysius’s records and found an old report linking the Cosmic Orb to a planet destroyed after a purple blast wiped out the Cosmic Truth Cult’s fleet.
• Daisy suspected the Orb was the Power Stone but could not locate the vanished survivors, so she asked Elysius to show her recent information about Xandarians.

Daisy and Wanda studied intelligence about Xandar and the major empires, then left the underground base to explore Titan. Wanda suggested that they have a child, but Daisy tried to dissuade her by listing their other responsibilities; the chapter ended with them taking photos beside Titan’s methane river.

• Daisy and Wanda struggled to sort through Elysius’s vast records, and Daisy learned that Xandar faced deep internal problems while the major empires were also unstable.

• Daisy and Wanda explored Titan’s orange skies and methane river, embraced for photos, and Wanda was disappointed that she could not share them online.

Daisy and Wanda tracked down the Kampa Priests’ walking corpses and used Phoenix Fire to free their trapped souls. The Moon Dragon’s psychic avatar emerged from the burning corpses as the freed spirits gathered around them.

• Elysius told Daisy and Wanda that the walking corpses would become active around noon, and they traveled to the former stronghold of the Priests of Pama to begin their search.
• Daisy found the priests’ records about the Moon Dragon and suggested that Wanda absorb some of its psychic power, which Wanda agreed to do on the condition that Daisy share it.

• Daisy burned the walking corpses with Phoenix Fire, purifying the souls trapped inside and forcing the Moon Dragon’s psychic avatar to take shape from the black mist.
• Wanda asked Daisy whether she could see the freed souls, and Daisy confirmed that she could before threatening to settle the teasing back on the ship.

Daisy and Wanda responded to a distress signal from a damaged Skrull ship carrying tens of thousands of diverse aliens. After boarding, Daisy sensed hostility from the towering captain, leaving their intentions uncertain.

• Lorna told Daisy that Karolina and the others had encountered a powerful light-based alien, and Daisy advised them to have Maki try to counter it with her ring or seek help from Reed Richards.

• The ship's crew guided Daisy and Wanda into the hangar, where Daisy scanned the many alien passengers and questioned whether the vessel was truly a refugee ship.
• The twenty-foot-tall captain welcomed them, and Daisy warned Wanda telepathically that he had briefly shown hostility.

Daisy and Wanda boarded Skrull’s ship and exposed his false hospitality as a trap to capture and enslave them. As armed aliens surrounded them, Wanda prepared to demonstrate her power by commanding them to kneel.

• Daisy ordered the pilot to take her and Wanda to the slaves so they could find a way to send them home.

• Daisy killed two rebellious aliens and forced the representatives to agree to keep their people under control.
• After learning the ship was bound for The Void and hearing the aliens’ proposal to kill others for food, Daisy killed the proposer and ordered Chocolate to broadcast a genuine plea for help.

• Wanda showed Daisy a dog she had found inside a giant snail, and Daisy noticed the Soviet Union flag on its spacesuit.

Daisy and Wanda encountered Cosmo and a giant snail, two Soviet-launched spacefarers, and agreed to help them return to Earth after finishing their business. When a Shi'ar fleet stopped their ship for inspection, Daisy hoped to hand over its passengers and leave, but someone pointed her out to a Shi'ar officer.

Daisy discovered that a Shi'ar officer was trying to provoke a war with the Kree, then fought the Shi'ar forces rather than surrender. After destroying their ships and weapons, she faced Gladiator and prepared to battle him.

• A Shi'ar officer demanded to inspect Daisy's private ship, and she used gravity and psychic force to expose a subordinate's plan to provoke war between Shi'ar and the Kree.
