Story Title: The Submergence of Japan!
By: Chris Claremont
Artists: John Bryne, Ric Villamonte, Terry Austin, & Dave Cockrum
Synopsis: The X-Men arrive at the Jinguchi Maru’s homeport of Agarashima and witness a city in flames. They quickly move into the city to help out, before continuing to the ancestral mansion of Shiro Yashida, who may be their only way out of Japan. Shiro doesn’t welcome their appearance, especially at this time, but the prime minister’s aide welcomes all the aid they can get. He refers also to Colleen Wing, who is there with her friend, Misty Knight. Cyclops finds that the Professor has shut down all the phone lines back in Westchester and really wants to get home quickly. Wolverine, meanwhile, meets a woman called Mariko Yashida, who overwhelms him with her beauty. They are getting along well but their peace is suddenly shattered by a localized earthquake. As they try to escape from the estate, several Mandroids appear, coming to kidnap the government officials. The X-Men fight them alongside Sunfire and soon manage to best them. However, as they are taken away by the police, a hologram appears from one of the Mandroid battle suits and the image of Moses Magnum appears. He warns the prime minister to acclaim him absolute ruler of the island nation in twenty-four hours, or he will sink Japan. Professor Xavier, meanwhile, leaves Earth with Lilandra to begin a new life in the Shi’ar Empire.
