Synopsis:
Charles Xavier informs Kitty Pryde and the rest of the X-Men that the Prydes are withdrawing their daughter from the school. They react with a mixture of anger, sadness, and confusion. Instead, she will be sent to The Massachusetts Academy, the headmistress of which is Emma Frost, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. In a conversation with Storm, Kitty expresses her anger at her parents, feeling that these events are related to their pending divorce. Storm, who lost her parents at a young age, sympathizes with Kitty’s confused feelings of betrayal. Knowing she will miss Kitty, Storm drives her to her new school, which Kitty dislikes immediately. While waiting in a lounge at the Academy, Storm is ambushed by Emma Frost, who uses a special gun to switch their bodies. Soon after departing the Academy, “Storm” contacts Sebastian Shaw and tells him to initiate “phase 2” of their plan once she reaches Xavier’s school. Once she arrives there, she finds that Shaw has gone ahead with the second phase early, as sentinels are attacking the school. With her help, the remaining X-Men are taken prisoner. Elsewhere, the real Storm, in Emma Frost’s body, escapes her captors and finds Kitty. Her young friend does recognize her, of course, thinking her to be an enemy. Attempting to stop Kitty from phasing through the floor, Storm accidentally uses the unfamiliar psionic powers she currently has access to and knocks Kitty out, fearing she may have killed her.
