Synopsis:
In space the M’Kraan Crystal is going crazy and it’s effects are felt on Earth with various super-teams having to accept that they can do nothing but await the end of existence. In Space the X-Men are suddenly attacked by a small alien called Jahf, a guardian of the Crystal whose punch sends Wolverine flying into Orbit. He is finally defeated when Banshee realises that he is a robot and fries his circuits with his scream. The battle is not over however because another guardian then attacks. Before the battle takes off however the X-Men, Starjammers and D’Ken are all transported inside the Crystal where they all experience their worst nightmares. Phoenix overcomes this and enters the sphere at the heart of the Crystal where she senses that if the lattice within the Crystal dies so will all the universe. By using Storm and Corsair’s life forces as anchors Phoenix succeeds in knitting the lattice back together and experiences amazing levels of power. The universe saved, the X-Men return home along with an exiled Lilandra.
