Despite the misgivings of Princess Omaka, the Red King has assembled Old Sam's machine and given it over to Skaar. Now, Skaar has the Old Power of the Shadow People. He is now the planet Sakaar, and it is also him. But the Old Power is the lifeblood of Sakaar, and the only force keeping the world together. When the Shadow People came to Sakaar, it was the Old Power that renewed this world that was shaking itself apart. And there are others besides Skaar with designs for the Old Power. With such a potent energy source, the Silver Surfer has realized that Galactus could be sated for milennia, saving countless lives. To that end, he implores Skaar to use it to fill the stoneships of the Shadow People, and leave Sakaar for the Devourer of Worlds!
