In New York, T'Challa was immediately targeted after his speech by extreme factions who wanted him dead before he could press his claims further. Hunter had picked up Monica Lynne after her ordeal with Achebe to once again provoke the Black Panther into accepting the White Wolf and 
the Hatut Zeraze back into Wakandan service. T'Challa gathered his entourage including Zuri, the Dora Milaje, Monica, Sgt. Tork and Everett K. Ross as Russian & CIA kill squads began firing upon them. They assembled aboard a N'Yami-class battle cruiser, an amphibious orbital warship hidden in the East River for the trek back to Wakanda. T'Challa incapacitated Hunter and the Hatut Zeraze with a stun field just inside the ship before moving on. All involved returned to Wakanda to disable the Prowlers and finally overthrow Achebe.
The plan was overall successful, with several caveats. The Ghudazi revolutionaries were subdued, but Achebe escaped after placing Black Panther and Ross in a complicated deathtrap to stall for time. The palace and Central Wakanda itself were secured by loyalist forces. The White Wolf awakened during the counter-coup and sought a reckoning with his brother. The two men 
fought fiercely over whose vision of Wakanda their father T'Chaka would have preferred. Hunter continued to technically respect T'Challa's hold of the throne while insisting he bow to Hunter's idea of how Wakanda should function. Everett Ross found the courage to attack Hunter in T'Challa's defense, but the White Wolf fell unconscious moments later due to a series of delayed-action nerve pinches T'Challa had employed. Wakanda belonged to the Black Panther once more. [Black Panther (3rd series) #9-12]
During the commotion, however, Nakia had been charged with getting Monica Lynne to safety aboard a Talon fighter. Nakia tried to tell Monica that the king was now her lover and Monica laughed in her face, so Nakia ejected Monica somewhere over the Wakandan jungle. When she lied to the king that Monica was killed in battle with the Ghudazi, the Black Panther immediately knew it. After repeated questioning failed, T'Challa intended to deny Nakia, returning her to her tribe in shame as a disgraced Dora Milaje, unable to wed or find other love once the king 
denounced her. In her grief, Nakia fled from the palace and would not be seen for some time. The Black Panther needed to return to New York to wrap up loose ends and clarify his position on America's involvement in the coup as an "act of war," partially as a favor to Ross. He therefore needed a regent and got the State Department to approve Ross to act as king of Wakanda in his absence. [Black Panther (3rd series) #13]
While in New York, Black Panther received a silent alarm for the Wakanda Design Group plant on Long Island, where Quinjets were manufactured for the Avengers. A fight with Alkhema-2 led him to get involved with the Avengers again, joining the United Nations troops in a counter-offensive against Ultron's conquest of Slorenia. There was still tension between T'Challa and some of the Avengers, but he fought bravely by their side nevertheless. [Avengers (3rd series) #19-22] Dzhokhar Gapon, the Russian mobster who gave T'Challa evidence on the coup, was attacked on his flight to Wakandan sanctuary. T'Challa was at Avengers Mansion when word of the air piracy came in, so Black Panther and Justice intercepted Hydro-Man's commandeered plane in a Quinjet. Before the super-villain was defeated, Hydro-Man revealed he was hired by someone named "N'Jadaka," warning the Panther that Killmonger was active once more. [Black Panther (3rd series) #13-14]
With Ross acting as regent in Wakanda, Nikki Adams could no longer dodge T'Challa and had to serve as his OCP handler pro tem. T'Challa scolded her for not telling Ross about their past and for making him a party to her omission by default. She recognized she was being immature and promised to tell Ross when the opportunity arose. T'Challa's adventures in America continued as Killmonger hired a series of villains such as Deadly Nightshade, Boss Morgan, Cockroach Hamilton, Stiletto and Cottonmouth to provoke the Panther, leading him to team-up with Luke 
Cage, Iron Fist, Falcon and Black Goliath. The Black Panther also sought to replace Nakia on the Dora Milaje and contacted Chante Giovanni Brown (who preferred the name Queen Divine Justice), a Wakandan expatriate from birth that grew up on the streets of Chicago and never knew her true heritage. In the midst of all this chaos, though, Ross overheard Nikki talking about her past relationship with the king before she could tell him about it personally. [Black Panther (3rd series) #15-17]
Meanwhile, Killmonger had rescued Monica Lynne from the jungle and was holding her in N'Jadaka Village, his birthplace in Wakanda which he had gentrified and commercialized as a direct counterpoint to T'Challa's view of Central Wakanda. Killmonger's return had come this time thanks to the power of the Resurrection Altar, and he had used it to begin reproducing his Death Regiment of zombie enforcers. Erik had created an I.P.O. called iFruit that delivered fruit and also 
murdered people for money. Killmonger had a long-term plan to weaken and undermine T'Challa's rule, for T'Challa's perceived worth as king translated into the genuine worth of the Wakandan economy. In this way, Killmonger would be using financial and economic manipulations of the market to make his vision of Wakanda more appealing to the people before launching a tribal challenge for rule.
All of Killmonger's prep work became moot, however, when the Black Panther nationalized all the companies in Wakanda, dismissed the wise fathers of the Wakandan Parliament, and dissolved his government. The McDonalds, the Starbucks, the Marvel Comics store and every other franchise Killmonger had invited to N'Jadaka Village now arguably belonged to T'Challa, 
worldwide economy was in freefall as the stock market tried to respond to T'Challa's actions, and the kingdom Killmonger had intended to overthrow now technically no longer existed. The Black Panther had completed Killmonger's plan for him, leaving him unable to claim the victory and his pieces too scattered in disarray to actually capitalize on the changes. As the global market began to crash, one of many consequences was that Tony Stark felt compelled to buy up all the shares of the Wakandan Design Group that he could, so that the Avengers' supplier of Quinjets didn't fall into other hands.
Infuriated, Killmonger was left with no choice but to cut his losses and move directly for a tribal challenge against T'Challa. Although T'Challa was honor bound to accept such a challenge as tribal chieftain, by dissolving his government, the role of King of Wakanda was no longer linked to the role of chieftain, cutting in half the potential victory Killmonger could achieve. The two men fought for the better part of a day, resting on request, but would continue until one man either 
yielded or was killed. Everett K. Ross, Monica and Zuri were reassembled from America, N'Jadaka Village and Killmonger's Resurrection Altar to attend the fight atop Warrior Falls. When Ross arrived, however, his cheer of support for the king surprised the focused and weary T'Challa, allowing Killmonger to take advantage of the momentary distraction and kill the Black Panther.
