"To Save the Savage Land!"
17 pages.
Chris Claremont story. John Byrne and Terry Austin cover and art.
Ka-zar and Zabu appearance.
Synopsis:
Ka-zar leads the X-Men through a snow covered Savage Land to the domed City of the Sun God, but as they look down on it, they are attacked by Pterasaur riders who capture Cyclops, Colossus, Banshee, and Ka-Zar. Wolverine sends Zabu back to fetch Tongah and his warriors; then he, Nightcrawler and Storm make their way to the city's edge. After Wolverine quietly slays a sentry, they enter the city's tunnels and make their way upwards, eventually reaching a vantage point overlooking a gigantic stadium, where they spot their friends awaiting public execution. Nightcrawler teleports in, uncovering Cyclops' visor, who in turn swiftly breaks the bonds holding Colossus and Banshee. As Ka-zar and the other X-Men battle the guards, Cyclops pursues the fleeing Garokk, who seeks to recharge his diminished power by absorbing energy from the geothermal heat-sink his city is built over. Standing on the very top of the dome, Cyclops and Garokk lock eye beams, their battle shaking the entire city. The X-Men evacuate the inhabitants as the city crumbles, and Garokk and Cyclops fall as the roof collapses; Banshee catches Cyclops, but Storm is struck by debris as she tries to reach Garokk, who plummets into a deep thermal sink. Two weeks later, with the Savage Land restored to normal, the X-Men bid Karl Lykos, Ka-Zar and Zabu farewll, and depart for the outside world in a small boat along an underground river. Unfortunately they emerge into one of the worst winter storms ever to hit Drakes's Passage.
