Synopsis:
The X-Men are on the streets of Manhattan, where inanimate objects have been demonically transformed. Though the X-Men are not aware of the danger looming, they are more concerned with battling the remaining Marauders. The battle rages for some time. Colossus is confronted by a demon from Limbo, and learns that his sister is in grave danger. He wants to remain with the X-Men, but he sees that they are all slowly transforming into demonic versions of themselves, so he departs, alone to find his sister, Magik. The X-Men defeat the Marauders, and are confronted by the demon N’astirh, revelling in his success, and they learn that Madelyne Pryor is in danger, when suddenly, they get some unexpected visitors. Madelyne, meanwhile, has been confronted by Mr Sinister, who traps her, and asks her what she knows of her past. Madelyne reveals an early memory where she was playing with her friend Annie Richardson, only for Annie to get hit by a car and die. When Sinister reveals that the memory belonged to Jean Grey, and that Madelyne was in fact created from Jean Grey’s essence, Madelyne begins to cry. Sinister reveals how he almost had Jean long ago, before she was taken in by Charles Xavier, so Sinister used a blood tissue sample belonging to Jean Grey, and created Madelyne, although for years, the clone did nothing – until waking one night in a burst of fiery energy. Sinister informs Madelyne that she woke on the exact moment that Phoenix sacrificed herself on the moon. Sinister explains that he arranged for Madelyne to be placed with Cyclops’ grandparents’ airline in Alaska, so that the two would eventually meet. Madelyne feels used, while Sinister reveals that he knew when Jean Grey returned to life that she would sense Madelyne, which is why he arranged to have Madelyne assassinated. But that failed, and Madelyne finally breaks free of Sinister’s restraints, she reveals some form of power, and a demon arrives from Limbo, handing Madelyne her son, while Madelyne informs Sinister that she will destroy the world in an Inferno!
