Synopsis for "From the Ashes of Defeat--!"
The story is continued from the last issue.
Kang makes his escape as his troops advance on the city. Although all seems hopeless, theAvengers decide to put up a fight against the never-ending army arrayed against them.Quicksilver is put out of action by a stray blast while trying to help a mother and child. The rest of the Avengers battle on but are eventually overwhelmed and captured.
Although Kang's law states that conquered monarchs are to be executed, Kang wants to marryRavonna. Meanwhile, Quicksilver is nursed back to health by the mother he saved.
The rest of the generals, led by his second-in-commandBaltag, rebel against Kang and try to assassinate him. Kang is therefore forced to team up withCaptain America,Hawkeye and theScarlet Witch to save Ravonna and liberate her civilization.
Baltag's forces are routed thanks in part to a recovered Quicksilver who rejoins the fray. Kang sends the Avenger back to their time just as Baltag leaps out and fires a shot at Kang. Captain America tries to warn him, but Ravonna leaps in the way and is shot herself. Kang's guards kill Baltag and the Avengers are transported away, leaving Ravonna dying in Kang's arms - unsure whether she will survive or die.
