Synopsis for "Zodiac, Part Two"

Cancer, the leader of the Zodiac is having a telepathic conversation with a mysterious entity which tells him he gave him the power for balance on Earth and they need to take some powerful items off of the planet. In Curaçao, he and Aries destroy a weapon of some unnamed terrorist as they find one of those powerful objects in a violet capsule.

In New York, Hulk arrives to the Stark Tower and asks Jarvis for Captain America. The scene moves to Latveria, where Taurus throws Thor to the truck Black Widow and Hawkeye are, crushing it and making both Avengers jump away. When Taurus is about to finish Thor, Iron Man appears and hits him while Hawkeye electrocutes him with an arrow, making his costume fail and turn back to his human form. But when Clint electrocutes him again, he returns to his Taurus form, while Iron Man states that "I am getting some absolutely crazy readings here". When Taurus jumps away, Tony tries to follow him but is punched. After both fall in the forest, Taurus recovers before Iron Man, giving him time to knock the Avenger before he recovered.

Hawkeye and Widow are trying to get Thor out of the burning truck, he wakes up and along with them he opens the mysterious capsule Taurus was looking for, a bright radiance appears as the three of them look surprised.

In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Tony wakes up as he finds Hulk standing in front of him. Hulk informs the rest of the Avengers about the situation he had against Aquarius. And Widow shows him the object they took from the capsule, an Ultimate Nullifier. Captain America states the situation is too dangerous to let the other Avengers know and he invites Hulk to join the team. As soon as Captain is telling Widow to put the Nullifier in a safe place, the Helicarrier is attacked by Libra, Virgo, Aquarius, Gemini and Pisces.
