Story Title: Possession

SUMMARY:

Imprisoned in a dungeon in Latveria, Skids tries in vain to escape, with Locus being no help as she is under a magic spell. Skids is soon confronted by her captor - a sorceress called Pandemonia. Apparently trapped here for eons, she then puts Skids under her spell. At that moment, Meltdown is searching through some boxes of stuff she collected from her father, when she finds a photo of herself, Skids and Rusty when they were younger. This makes her feel guilty as X-Force have not found their friend since she vanished. Meltdown hears a strange noise downstairs, but finds Siryn, Sunspot and Proudstar unconscious - until Skids appears, apologizing to Meltdown, explaining that she is under Pandemonia’s control. Thanks to Locus’ teleportation power, Pandemonia enters X-Force’s home, and feeds off the energies of the four X-Force members. Meanwhile, Cannonball and Moonstar are out for a run, they discuss Moonstar’s powers, briefly, and Cannonball’s relationship with Sunspot and Meltdown, before Cannonball mentions he is concerned about allowing Bedlam into the team. Bedlam continues to get on Cannonball’s nerves, before they return home, only to find their warehouse transformed into a medieval castle, and their teammates are all dressed accordingly. Pandemonia attempts to put Moonstar under her control, but finds she cannot due to Moonstar’s soul having the mark of Asgard on it, before Pandemonia orders her “servants” to attack. Cannonball, Moonstar and Bedlam manage to escape, knowing they are not suited for a mystical assault. After an unsuccessful visit to an occult shop, they are approached by someone who overheard their dilemma, and suggests they visit Jennifer Kale. X-Force do so, and after Jennifer ascertains who it is they are up against, she accompanies the trio to their warehouse, and while Moonstar, Cannonball and Bedlam defend themselves against their teammates, Jennifer works on her spell, which reverts Pandemonia to her true demon form, freeing X-Force, Skids and Locus from her control. Pandemonia attacks Jennifer, before Moonstar, using her new quantum abilities, counters the attack, and Jennifer banishes Pandemonia back to her own dimension - though she attempts to take Locus with her, Cannonball rescues Locus, who proceeds to argue with X-Force and Skids, before teleporting away, warning them to stay out of her way. Meltdown checks that Skids is okay, while Moonstar continues to sparkle. Meanwhile, Domino continues her investigation of the Aguilar Institute, which has led her to a hospital where the Aguilar Institute has shown interest In a young mutant girl from the town of Almost Reno.

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

Got this one off a boardie raw and I have to say it was absolutely amazing looking. Decided to get this one signed at a rare chance at Wizard World St. Louis and I have to say its amazing getting to own a rare signature series book signed by Angel due to his Italy based home.
