Plot: Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) is in his ship, we see Accuser Huran (Kevin McKidd) joining him and informing him that he found the five inhuman species and asks for permission to attack them, which Ronan grants.

We see Blackagar Boltagon (Anson Mount) walking down in a ruined Attilan on the moon. Bodies of the fallen Inhumans of Attilan everywhere, One by one he sees the bodies of the the Royal Family, His face becomes horrified when he sees the body of his beloved Medusa (Serinda Swan). He runs towards her but she and everything else vanished, he shouts in despair, he hears an explosion and turns around to see Earth exploding. Blackbolt wakes up in horror, while also waking up Medusa.

The next morning he meets with Karnak(Ken Lueng) and in private communicates with him about last night incident. Karnak advises Blackbolt to meditate while he sends a team to check up the Inhuman City Attilan on the Moon which was destroyed during Maximus (Iwan Rheon) attempt to seize power, they plan to keep it a secret between them but Medusa is suspicious that Blackbolt is hiding something and talks to Crystal (Isabelle Cornish) about it.

Karnak selects Gorgon (Eme Ikwuakor) and Auran (Sonya Balmores) to go to moon with Lockjaw and check how is Eldrac (Doug Jones) holding up and assuring him that they are working to bring him here with them and scavenge the remains, Crystal forcefully joins them thinking this may have to do with the secret between Karnak and Blackbolt.

On the Moon, Gorgon and Auran sees something unusual is happening there. On further investigation they find a group of Aliens have made a makeshift base there. In a moment of ignorance Gorgon and Crystal attack the aliens leaving Auran no choice but to join them in the attack. In the coming moments they are defeated by the aliens and their leader introduce herself as Oola Udonta (Keira Knightley) and asks where is Blackbolt to them.

While Blackbolt was meditating he was visited by Wayfnder (Nick Nolte) who says the Midnight King and the five Queens shall unite to avoid the danger they all face. Also says that One of the Queen is waiting at the his old home. Blackbolt convenes this to Karnak who sais that he has read about the Midnight King and the Five Queens, He will re read them while he asks Blackbolt to go to Moon.

Blackbolt and Triton (Mike Moh) goes to Moon and finds the Aliens and members of Royal Family and intervenes between their guest and his family members clarifying the misunderstanding and then invites Oola Udonta to Earth and bring them all back. While Medusa tries to talk to Karnak and know what him and Blackbolt are hiding, but Karnak excuses himself and locks himself in the Attilan Library.

Blackbolt comes back to the new Attilan with Oola Udonta ,her group and Royal Family members. Medusa questions Oola and Oola tells them about Kree experimentation on different species in the past which has created Universal Inhumans, consisting of Humans, Centaurians, Badoons, Kymellians and Dire Wraiths. For some reason the Kree came back to kill every one of their creation but these five were left out but now they have been found out and are being hunted by Accuser Huran. She reveals that he has already attacked her planet but they were successful in avoiding him as her adviser Arris (Doug Jones) is busy distracting Huran, while she arrived here.

She details how ruthless Huran was when he attacked her planet, he has killed nearly half of their population while other half is running in despair. In many of their recon missions they found him to be mad person obsessed with violence who claims that now as Ronan the Accuser has gone he will the true protector of Kree.

Medusa interjects then why are you here, Oola answers to end this by marrying Blackbolt as told in the the prophecy that the five queens will join the one king who returns from the forever night and band together in a new holy land which will be known as New Hala. Medusa gets angry hearing upon this while Oola says that she have made contact with others and they will also be joining them soon. Karnak while listening in secret enters the room and take Blackbolt into private and tells what Oola is telling might be true as he found similar rambling in their books. Blackbolt allows Oola and her members to stay at the new Attilan while they think about the next steps to be taken and confirm what she is saying is true., to which Medusa gets enraged thinking Blackbolt will think about marrying someone else.

Medusa and Crystal corners Karnak to know what is happening, after some back and forth Karnak suggests if they are not happy with the recent developments, there is a flawless way Medusa can replace Blackbolt as the leader of Inhumans and steer them in the way she likes as she is already the voice of the leader. Crystal asks what is the way to which Karnak responds that his allegiance is still towards Blackbolt as he believes he is way smarter than he let us know and thinks a lot of the consequences.

While Triton goes back to Moon to check Oola's story, suddenly he is attacked by a delusional Arris but after a good fight Triton puts him down and brings him back to Earth. Medusa seeing this think Oola is trying to do commit treachery and advocates that she should be put in prison. Arris wakes up to his normal self and warns that Huran has found them and is coming here to attack. Medusa not believing what Arris and Oola is saying engages in a fierce debate with Karnak and Blackbolt who belief in her story and want to put their defense up, while they were debating Wayfnder appears and confirms Oola Udonta story. Medusa now believes her story as in the past she has been visited by Wayfnder.

Karnak devises a defense plan with help from Blackbolt and Oola. They decide they can't fight here in the populated areas as they don't want to put spotlight on them hence decide to move their army in Antarctica.

While they wait at Antarctica they receive a video message from Huran whose ships now their technology can see has docked at Earth's moon. He calls them slaves and demands them to put down their weapons and meet their end or otherwise this whole Earth has to face the wrath of Huran. The Inhumans challenge him to meet at Antarctica and meet his demise and send their co ordinates.

Huran remains in his ship and like always and send his troops to attack Inhumans on Antarctica. After lengthy and a losing battle, Blackbolt sees they cannot win until they get hold of their ships. He decides himself, Karnak, Medusa and Oola will transport to the moon with Lockjaw and attack Huran while Gorgon, Crystal, Triton, Auran and Arris remain on Earth to fight their troops.

Blackbolt and his group do a stealth attack on Huran and his ship while he was busy devouring the violence his troops were involved in. They initially have the upper ground but Huran and his troops regain their balance and get the advantage. Blackbolt is afraid to use his powers because of the dreams he had before. Huran uses this and gains control over Blackbolt and goes in for the killing blow but seeing this Medusa regrows her hair which she lost because of Maximus cutting them off, demonstrating that power for the first time and protects Blackbolt but they where still on the losing hand but their tides turn when they are joined by Aladi Ko Eke (Tara Strong) and her troops. Blackbolt regains his confidence and uses his powers to destroy the ships of Huran and in process killing him.

On Earth, Remaining Royal family members are joined by the forces of Onomi Whitemane (Coleen Villard) and Avoe (Grey DeLisle).

Aladi Ko Eke reminds that by killing Huran their problems don't end as the Kree still desire to kill us all. Medusa after a long conversation with Karnak suggests that they should rebuilt their Moon Base so that Oola, Aladi, Onomi, Avoe and their troops can stay there and they should get married as the prophecy said to stop the destruction of their own kind.

After Credits:
In the great hall we see the Royal family celebrating the wedding with the officiant (Stan Lee), a gift reaches the hands of Blackbolt, when they open it they see it is a message from Maximus saying "Miss me? Brother" and laughing. Triton finds the barrack in which Maximus was locked by Blackbolt is empty.
