Pym found the planet known as Baluur. He saw no signs that life existed here. Only smoke bellowing from what appeared to be a dead planet similar to the moon. During Pym's work with Reed, he had learned the location of this place, though no one had ever been here and lived to tell about it. Pym flew into one of the cavernous crevices. Rumors had it, that the cities were underground. His eyes slowly adjusted, and he beheld an amazing world with cities of metal and gems carved into the rock. The outer crust held in the hollow inside. It appeared there were at least five "cities". The largest, being in the center of the planet. Pym guessed it was roughly the size of the moon. He doubted this was the Baluuran race's only home.
Pym flew hard and fast to the largest building. It must be the castle, he though. It was adorned with flags and gems strewn the grandiose building. He entered an open vent on the south side of the castle. Flying through the vents, he heard various Baluurans. At one point, he figured he was near the kitchen. The familiar booming voice of Blastaar echoed a in a large hall. Pym entered to see the Warlord enjoying dinner with what seemed to be a party. The beast bit into a meat-like food and drank from a large cup. Pym could not approach him here.
A Baluuran who wore the garb similar to Blastaar's spoke over the din. "Your majesty, where is your alluring new bride?"
Blastaar smiled, "she is tired and is resting for the night".
The solider bowed, "Allow me to congratulate you! She is most beautiful and powerful!"
Blastaar only widened his smile, "I'll be sure to give her your tidings later!"
Pym searched the halls of the castle. He had to get to Sue before Blastaar finished. Maybe he could talk some sense into her. After what seemed like an hour, he came upon large doors. He watched a house cleaner enter with a large box. He followed the Baluuran women into the room. It was the royal bedroom. Sue sat in a chair; she wore a gown that appeared to signify her royal status. "Come in!" she instructed.
The Baluuran woman bowed; here is the item you requested. Pym watched the maid pull out a crown of diamonds. Sue placed it on her head and smiled. "Excellent!" She pointed to the door, "NOW LEAVE ME!"
Pym closed the distance and watched Sue adjust the tiara to fit her jet-black hair. He stopped in his tracks when she spoke, "What do you want Pym?"
"You knew I was here," he asked growing in size behind her.
Sue seemed to take no notice and set the crown down after. She brushed her hair. "The minute you entered our air-space! Don't be a fool. You are a smart man!"
"Sue...we," Pym started, but Sue cut him off.
"Bariaar please!" She turned with a sneer, "and address me appropriately worm!"
Pym huffed, "Sorry your majesty!" he said with sarcasm. The woman was so mean and vicious it was hard to believe it was Sue at all.
Sue began spoke sternly as she brushed her hair, "Speak quickly before my husband returns or he will not be so kind!"
As if on cue, Blastaar burst through the door. "What is the meaning of this?" He prepared for battle. Sue put a field between the men.
"He has something to tell us", Sue spoke.
"He cannot be trusted", Blastaar looked to Sue. She waived him off.
Sue looked over Pym, "I have known him a long time. His wife was my friend. We can trust him." Pym was surprised at her demeanor. Surely, a brainwashed person would not talk this way. She seemed to recall her past.
Pym held out his arm, "Annihilus plans to betray you!"
Blastaar held out his hands and they lit with an explosive fire, "LIAR!" Pym hit the button on his cuff. It was a recorder. He replayed the entire conversation Blastaar had with his general. Blastaar roared, "THAT FILTHY INSECT!"
Sue cried out next, "HE WILL DIE FOR THIS!"
Moments later, Pym boarded Blastaar's flagship, the Fist of Power. He headed back towards the distortion area with his new "allies" and the entire Baluuran Navy.
