Brief Description:
Colossus is relaxing in Scotland drawing pictures of the X-Men. A group of boys approach him and he’s taught a lesson on the state of mutants in young children’s eyes. A mysterious woman (Roma in disguise) asks him to sketch a picture of her. She disappears at one point and in her place is a statue of Colossus, the size of a trophy. He decides he needs to go back with the X-Men and calls up his sister to help him. Meanwhile, we find out that the Adversary has taken over Roma’s palace and plans on bringing absolute chaos to the world. Elsewhere, the X-Men are in Dallas trying to find Storm. They’ve tracked her to Forge’s penthouse. Freedom Force shows up to try and arrest them. A long battle ensues. The end results: Dazzler and Rogue are captured by Freedom Force and the X-Men have Mystique. The X-Men end up taking refuge inside the building. Destiny cries out, her precognitive power shows her that when dawn comes anyone in the building will be dead. Suddenly, a rift in the sky opens and sunlight pours through. The end of the world may be beginning.

Story Notes:
The mysterious woman Piotr was drawing was actually Roma, arbiter of reality ( a character who had so far only appeared in British Marvel Comics.
Colossus was recovering from wounds sustained during the “Mutant Massacre”. Nightcrawler and Shadowcat were also severely injured by the Marauders.
The important mission that Illyana talks about is to return Bird Brain home to his native island, as can be seen in New Mutants #58 and following issues.
Spiral and Longshot are both from the Mojoverse. Actually she was sent after him to hunt him down; Longshot doesn’t remember as he arrived in the Marvel Universe amnesiac.
Dazzler, Longshot, Rogue and Psylocke battled the Juggernaut in Uncanny X-Men #217-218.
Naze was an Indian Shaman and also Forge’s teacher. He was preparing Forge to battle the Adversary.
