This was all part of the elders plan to kill Galactus. I don't have the scans and it has been a while. But I seem to remember thinking they were more of equals after this.
They never fought in the next issue. Mantis tripped Runner, while Ego was keeping Surfer busy. Then when Surfer busted out of a volcano, he grabbed Mantis and they flew away.
