While Machine Head is viewing revenue reports, Mark and Titan crash through his building. Knowing that Titan would betray him, Machine Head reveals that he has hired henchmen to take care of them. He introduces Battle Beast, who is called "Scourge of Twin Galaxies". Second, Magnattack, a villain with magnetism powers. Third, Kursk, a Russian supervillain with electrokinesis powers is introduced.

Fourth comes Furnace, a villain in metal with magma generating power. Fifth is Magmamaniac who powers are similar to Furnace. Last is Tether Tyrant, a villain who can control an unknown substance attached to his harness.thumb|Machine Head introduces 6 mostly new villains to the Image Universe. Tether Tyrant attacks Mark and Titan puts on his rock armor. Magmaniac melts himself through the floor, much to his surprise. Mark uses his momentum to pull in Tether Tyrant and attack him. While he fights Battle Beast, Kursk, and Magnattack.

Mark is attacked by Furnace. Furnace fires a magma blast in Mark’s face though it has no effect. Magnattack repels Titan but knocks back Kursk and Tether Tyrant, back into Furnace, destroying his metal suit. Battle Beast charges for Mark, but Mark attacks him with it having no effect on Battle Beast. Battle Beast easily defeats Mark and Magnattack defeats Titan. The Guardians arrive soon after Cecil informs Immortal of Mark’s task. Isotope uses his teleportation power to leave the building, much to Machine Head’s confusion.

Kate and Rex easily defeat Kursk while Bulletproof and Black Samson fight Battle Beast. Monster Girl and Robot easily defeat Tether Tyrant and Shrinking Ray defeats Magmamaniac. Immortal defeats Magnattack with one punch. After the chaos ends, it is revealed that Battle Beast easily defeated Bulletproof and Black Samson, nearly killing the duo in the process. He goes on to say that he could easily kill the Guardians but it wouldn’t prove anything.thumb|Battle Beast easily defeats Bulletproof and Black Samson_001.jpeg)

Disappointed with their performance, Battle Beast leaves through a teleporter to an unknown location and Immortal finds Machine Head hiding under his desk.

Machine Head is taken into Guardian custody while Cecil debriefs Mark on the situation. He revealed that Titan is plotted the Idea. Mark can't be a supporting character if he's not in space fighting in the prisoned for his crimes and that his record is surprisingly clean for a criminal. Cecil reveals that Samson and Bulletproof’s injuries are severe and will take weeks to heal while Mark’s were minor.

Mark arrives to his room to find Eve there, much to his surprise. She reveals that she and William broke up and wants to talk to Mark about something. Meanwhile, Isotope teleports back to Machine’s Head tower, talking to someone. It is soon revealed that Titan used Mark and the Guardians to take down Machine Head to take over Machine Head’s organized crime syndicate, becoming its leader.
