What happens to a Viktor recruit token when controlling a battlefield and the opposing player targets it with Gust?

Ruling: The token goes to hand and immediately ceases to exist, then the battlefield becomes uncontrolled if there are no more units there and no showdown or combat.

Sequence:

• The token is returned to hand by Gust
• The token immediately ceases to exist upon reaching hand
• The battlefield becomes uncontrolled if no other units remain and there is no showdown or combat
