Brief Description:
The X-Men and Starjammers try their best to repair the Starjammer before the Shi’ar’s deadline for Earth runs out. In the process, Colossus reopens his wounds and needs to be treated again. Lilandra tries to reach the Shi’ar battle fleet in vain – unbeknownst to her, the traitor Samedar has killed her loyal chancellor Araki and is preventing her signal from being heard. Xavier mentally contacts Nightcrawler and Kitty aboard the Shi’ar cruiser to inform them Lilandra is safe. In the process, he becomes aware of a wrongness within him. As he examines it, he is mentally hit by something and falls into a coma. Using their ingenuity and the knowledge Xavier previously implanted in Kitty’s mind, Kurt and Kitty escape their cell and find the murdered Araki. Using the clothing-designer, Kitty scares the Shi’ar by pretending to be Dark Phoenix, while Kurt kidnaps the Shi’ar telepath Oracle. Once she can corroborate their story, some other trustworthy members of the Guard come to their side. However, the larger part of the Guard follows Samedar and battle ensues. Samedar plays dirty and all the good guys are captured. But when Samedar tries to destroy Earth the Starjammer intercepts just in the nick of time. Lilandra addresses the fleet and tells them to stand down and arrest Samedar. In the meantime, Deathbird gets back into the Brood’s good graces by offering them the X-Men as breeding material.
