Synopsis:
Storm’s nightmare.
While alone on a tropical vacation, Storm meets a grieving woman whose husband died at his job at Twelvetrees Chemicals. Finding it suspicious that the company would not let the woman see her husband's body, Ororo goes to investigate the factory and finds out that the side-effects of their revolutionary YK-23 material has been killing workers and turning them into zombie slaves. The unscrupulous Richard Twelvetrees orders the zombies to kill Storm before she can expose his secret and they manage to injure her and chase her to a cabin in the jungle. Backed into a corner, Storm realizes that she can't stop Twelvetrees and the zombies without killing them and refuses to kill even the undead. She instead prays to Mother Nature, who answers by striking all her enemies with lightning, killing them all in a way for which Storm doesn't have to admit culpability.

Quotes:
"Listen to me! The volcano flooded the entire complex with molten lava. Your power got you and me out -- but that's all. There's no way anyone else could have survived! Scott and the X-Men are dead, Jean. They're dead." -Beast ("Hank" McCoy)
