Story Title: Twas the Night Before Christmas
By: Chris Claremont
Artists: John Bryne, Terry Austin & Dave Cockrum
Synopsis: Flying over the Kuril Islands near Japan, Storm lets Nightcrawler drop and he teleports to a volcanic island below, the headquarters of Moses Magnum. Magnum has threatened to sink Japan unless he is made absolute ruler of the country. Kurt takes out a guard and enters the complex. He is there because Mr. Osama, the Japanese prime-minister’s aide, explained that it is from here that he will trigger his so-called ‘Magnum Force.’ Storm and Banshee create a diversion, which allows Nightcrawler to go deep into the complex. He sends Cyclops a homing signal, which lets his team, including Sunfire, to punch through the rock below the base and emerge in the right place. Unfortunately, when they finally break through, Moses Magnum himself is there to deal with them. He takes out both Colossus and Wolverine with ease before setting two Mandroids onto them. They are soon taken out by a furious Colossus, but Magnum departs to begin his destruction of Japan. Banshee knows he must act fast and uses his sonic blast to counter the Magnum Force’s effect. He scream is so powerful that he manages to destroy the base by shaking it to its very foundations. The X-Men and Sunfire manage to get free and return to Japan, while Sean recovers from a coma, induced by his exertions. Later, he emerges from his coma and returns to Sunfire’s house to be warmly greeted by the team. Jean Grey, meanwhile, visits Scotland and meets up with friends, gradually moving on with her life. Further north, Angus MacWhirter is killed by a stranger who is roaming Muir Isle.
