Hulk arrives on Jarella's world with the mental acuity of Bruce Banner. He finds the city of K'ai in ruins and discovers that Jarella has been captured by the treacherous Lord Visis. Hulk rescues his lady love and leads her people in revolt. That is, until Visis teams up with master assassin Krylar who has a weapon that makes one battle one's darkest fears. The weapon is turned on the Hulk and Hulk with Banner's mind finds himself facing his old brutish self. Jarella's magicians counter by ending the spell that makes Hulk smart. Pym's serum wears off and Hulk grows back to normal size.

Hulk brings Jarella's body back to her sub-atomic home world of K'ai to be buried. With most of the planet barren, he takes her to the only fertile valley left but finds it is tended by the cosmic being known as the Gardner who tells him to leave. After a lot of talking and a few fights, Hulk hits the Gardener so hard it knocks the Soul Gem off of his head. Hulk throws the gem into the center of the planet, miraculously restoring the entire world back to vibrant health. After Jarella is buried and Hulk has been returned to Earth, a beautiful green flower grows upon her grave.
