When a single card has more than one special ability (including gained abilities), and an order is not specified, perform the abilities in this order:

•      First, complete all special abilities in the order written on the card except those that add a character to the battle (banding abilities).  Note that some special abilities can happen together even though they may be separated by a period. Second, if the card is a character with either a gained ability or a weapon-class enhancement, then activate the gained abilities in the order gained. Finally, activate the special abilities on the carried weapon-class enhancement.

•      Complete banding abilities.

•      Complete any Choose Blocker or Rescuer abilities.

According to the Glossary, it seems that some abilities happen simultaneous (in spite of the periods), so I would say that the CBN is simultaneous for all of them. The Return ability would be first. The Negate All would be next. The new rescuer would be last. If the new rescuer does not qualify as what the last two statements say, then I would guess that the Negate All is also simultaneous.
