Brief Description:
The Brood-hunterships try their best to capture the X-Men's yacht without killing them. The X-Men and friends fight back, using their powers and weapons. Storm, though, notes that, for some reason, her powers are out of control and after accidentally destroying one Brood ship, she refuses to chance killing any more. In the fight, the Brood manage to damage the yacht's warp-drive and, against the protests of the others, Kitty steps outside to repair the drive, getting hit by a piece of shrapnel in the process. In the meantime, Carol Danvers' body reacts to the modification the Brood put her through. She turns into an energy form that is powered by a "white hole" and uses her new powers to destroy the Brood ships. Kitty's repairs completed, the yacht enters warp-space. Later, Carol uses her powers to re-energize the depleted matter-antimatter drive. While the X-Men effect their repairs, Nightcrawler is puzzled that Kitty's managed to completely recover from her lethal injuries. Storm, in the meantime, is ailing and doesn't know why, until she realizes there is a living being inside her. Realizing the truth, she steals a scoutship and leaves. Cyclops demands answers from Wolverine, who finally relents and tells the others that they are hosts to Brood embryos and what that means. Carol goes ballistic and flies outside, not realizing that the hole she?s burned into the hull endangers the others. Back on Earth, Xavier notices some strangeness about Illyana but finds he no longer has the strength to care.
