Power – part 6
With the help of Dr. Reed Richards, Shuri and her team track the Broker’s island in the South Pacific and fly there. Also aboard are the Fantastic Four and Namor, who suggests their foe will be clever enough to anticipate their arrival. Ben Grimm mockingly tells him not to state the obvious. Shuri points out they will be expecting her, maybe Namor, but not all of them. Niix informs them their long rage scanner just went dead. Crosswave jamming, Reed decides. A random frequency switcher. Flea’s not packing up anything in stationary orbit. Reed remarks even he doesn’t have a cloaked satellite. Not in orbit yet, anyway. Do they need back-up? Johnny Storm asks. Shuri is sure they can handle it.
In Wakanda, a celebration of education turns ugly as the palace gets surrounded by protestors. Ororo feels guilty, but Ramonda points out she was set up. They phone T’Challa, asking where he is. He reminds them he is no longer the king and they are no longer his people. Wakanda and he have become strangers. Have the two of them become stranger as well? his wife asks him. Where are they? They are in hell, T’Challa replies.
That moment, Ororo is arrested for the attack on Ram Metunga. When Ramonda tries to protest, she is told they have fifty armed men outside and the palace is filled with children.
She is being arrested, Ororo tells T’Challa. He reminds her it will be a bloodbath if she fights back. They will crucify her for it. She needs to do the right thing and surrender. May the Panther God protect her, he tells her and breaks the connection. He is told by a scientist that everything apart from his private channel is locked. He just threw the woman he loves to the wolves, he replies.
Shuri’s ship is about to be attacked by what looks like Mandroids. The heroes and Wakandans laugh at the idea until the Mandroids prove they are atypical by tearing part of the ship apart. As they evacuate, Mr. Fantastic wants to help Shuri, who tells him to look after the others. She dons her Panther mask and informs him she is not interested in getting to safety. She jumps out of the exploding plane.
The Mandroids transmit the data to Declun aka the Broker, who in turn is informing Dr. Doom. The Latverian dictator orders him to kill as many as he can but not to risk himself. Should he be touched by his concern? Declun asks. Let’s not descend into fantasy, Doom suggests and tells him to kill Richards last. It would please him to know he saw his friends suffer. The Broker isn’t sure it’s manageable. Buy him some hours, Doom replies. After that, it won’t matter if they live or not. He doesn’t see that as a problem at all, Declun agrees.
A Wakandan agent informs Doom that T’Challa offered no resistance at all. He let them take Ororo and his private plane just left the airport. As he told Doom, he is broken! Doom warns him not to make any assumptions and keep him under constant surveillance. It is time to act. The word has been given. The hour of the Desturi has come!
On the island, Namor warns the Thing of an attack by the Absorbing Man, who gloats at having hit the Thing. Ben reminds him Thor has been handing him his ass for years now. The Absorbing Man gloats that the Broker has improved him. Let’s see what Adamantium can do to his hide. He hits the Thing while two other villains attack Namor.
A Mandroid follows the gliding Shuri, who attacks with what looks to be marbles which turn out to create identical holograms of Shuri. The Mandroid checks for heat-signatures but finds they all have signatures and are all fakes Shuri used to cover her tracks. His contact to the Broker breaks off, as the real Shuri has attacked him and taken away his flying device so he falls to his death.
A man watches the ongoings in Wakanda on screens. Referring to himself as “Desturi One,” he calls his brothers and sisters on this frequency to announce this is the hour of cleansing. Rise! Take back the power that was lost. Silence the voices of heresy. Rise as together they bring their country back to its roots. Wakanda for Wakandans! And all over the country, Desturi take over the authorities, the media, the armed forces and the palace.
Elsewhere: The Broker a tells his assistant Mrs. Tickle she looks nervous. He has to admit this is interesting, she points out. Even with the upgrades, their team is facing a worst case scenario. Declun believes it could be worse. Their foes brought their most predictable players. No wild cards. She muses Doom was right to choose him. Flattery during business hours, he mocks. She can bring it up again tonight, she purrs. Which reminds her: where will they be tonight? Anywhere but here, he announces.
Wakanda: A Desturi agent tells Desturi One that the witch has been taken to the null chamber and T’Challa has left the capital. Desturi One laughs the Broker was right. His spirit is broken! Tell him about the casualties. No fatalities, he is informed. They have the master keys but they will be useless in twelve hours when the system automatically resets. Desturi One explains their patron has provided for that. He gave them a multiphase code. The entire arsenal of Wakanda is now theirs.
The Desturi have also taken the central research facility. They inform Doom that they are trying to break into the security system. There are twelve levels of security. Doom points out the Desturi agents said were only eight. He orders them not to waste time and shoot one of the prisoners in the knee.
Elsewhere: Slowly, the heroes have gained the upper hand. After one last battle, Shuri attacks the Broker himself. Calmly, he announces they took one hour, twelve minutes, forty-four seconds. Namor recognizes him as Walter Declun, former CEO of Damage Control, who went mad and began selling his wares to terrorists. Among other things, he sold mutant growth hormone to Nitro, an act that caused the deaths of hundreds of children and set off the Civil War. Namor swats him aside. Reed Richards figures he’s been taking his own mutant growth hormone. Of course he has, Declun agrees. Plus a little slice and dice with his DNA. When Shuri asks why he attacked her family and people, he suggests she catch up on current news. News reports show that the Desturi have overthrown the Wakandan government in nearly bloodless coup. Declun announces he is just the middleman. She has a much bigger fish to fry and much bigger problems. He teleports away.
In Wakanda, conservative anchorman N’dega is forced to become new press secretary at gunpoint. In the vaults, where eight locks have been bypassed, Dr. Doom teleports in. Doom wants to get into the Vibranium vault but there are still four locks to go.
T’Challa calls Shuri from his plane, telling her they took the biggest risk. But the cockroaches are in the light now. Her plan worked. Their plan, Shuri corrects. Doom thinks they are on the run. But this war is just beginning. Now they stop running and fight!

Apache Autumn: part 1
Johnny lies defeated on the ground, and all kinds of snakes are crawling on him. Johnny recalls that he came to this godforsaken place in search of his children. He vows that he can never forget about that, even if the sun is in his face like a Bessemer furnace. Even if all the lizards, snakes, armadillos and now spiders keep crowding his face. Even if something big, hairy and ugly is coming his way and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop, he vows he can never forget about his kids.
A big, giant and white foot steps on Johnny’s stomach. It’s the Wendigo! And… he has Craig and Emma with him? Johnny is confused, especially when he notices the Wendigo wandering off, holding hands with his kids. He desperately calls out to them, but they don’t seem to hear him. Johnny gathers his strength and gets back up again, and throws all the animals off of him. He stares in the sky, and suddenly, the sun starts speaking to him?!
The sun mocks Johnny, wondering how he is going to save his kids. He wonders if he’s going to save them like he saved Holden Blevins. Johnny jokes this is great: now the sun is talking to him with the voice of Icebox Bob! He encourages himself to get a grip, and not to lose track of the reason why he came there. He tries to remember that none of what he is seeing is real. The sun gets an evil look on its face, correcting Johnny that everything is real around here. Even the plants turn evil and are ready to eat him! The sun claims that everything is real enough to stop Johnny’s clock. It states that Icebox Bob is real. And that Holden Blevins was real as well. The plants mock that Johnny was wrong.
Johnny angrily screams at Icebox Bob that he’s dead, and he won’t be distracted from what he has to do. He won’t be stopped from saving his own kids. While driving on his flamed bike, Johnny shouts that he saw what Blevins did to Bob. The sun claims that he isn’t a bother to Johnny anymore. The sun claims that it’s now just a shadow of his former self, but states that there are other people hereabouts he believes Johnny would best be fretting about. Like the Ratcheeb, for example. A giant arm, belonging to Ratcheeb, grabs Johnny and starts crushing him.
The sun claims that Ratcheeb is the one who kidnapped Johnny’s children. Johnny doesn’t even know who that is. The sun sarcastically smiles that Johnny will soon find that out. An evil, black-tanned body materializes. With an evil voice, Ratcheeb is glad to finally meet Blaze. Johnny believes that the voice he hears sounds familiar, but he can’t place the face. Ratcheeb realizes Johnny doesn’t recognize him in his current form. But, he taunts Johnny that he doesn’t have to worry, as he’ll find out soon enough. Johnny uses his strength to release himself, and starts shooting.
Ratcheeb drops him. Johnny jokes that he would rather never meet the guy, joking he’ll forgo the pleasure. But, he adds, Ratcheeb can go right ahead and have himself a whole face of Hellfire! Johnny starts shooting at him again. But on that moment, he gets knocked down. A voice explains that Johnny is trespassing on Tribal property. He claims that this is a federal trap. Johnny apologizes for it, promising to be on his way the very next minute. The voice grabs Johnny by his clothes, defending that isn’t good enough and wants him gone this instant. And he’ll also promises to march Johnny down to the Tribal police or the Arizona State troopers. Johnny turns back to normal and sees that he’s being grabbed by a strong man with the name of… Warpath?!
Wyatt Wingfoot tries to calm James down, thinking that perhaps Johnny has a good reason for being in Spirit Kiva. James believes that Wyatt has gone soft on their people, believing that Johnny was more than likely poaching artifacts, or maybe he is even the person they are looking for. Johnny defends that he was called to this place. He sat down there in the dark and had himself a vision. Warpath doesn’t buy that, but does want to know what kinds of visions Johnny saw.
Johnny explains he saw the killer with the ice pick, he saw the thing with no face that lurks in the darkness and he saw the Wendigo walking across the desert leading his two missing kids. James tells Wyatt that, apparently, Blaze saw it too. Wyatt tells James to put Johnny down. Wyatt believes they have to talk, but first, he has something he thinks Johnny should see. Johnny’s got the feeling this isn’t going to be a party.
Warpath and Wyatt lead Johnny to a demolished room. Wyatt explains that the investigators of the crime left it pretty much the way they found it. It doesn’t even make the slightest of sense to bother of cleaning the place up. He adds that this place is just the latest in a series of grisly murders in this reservation. The local counsel asked Wyatt to come out there from Okalahoma to help keep the panic down. Johnny notices a lot of black stuff in the room. Wyatt states that’s blood and has been baking into the sun for a week now. Johnny picks up a broken Spider-Man figure, and fears the worst.
James adds that the tribal police found the parts of three kids in there, as well as two adults and a dog. Wyatt continues to say that the only problem is that Jimmy and Shirley Pinto had four kids. The five year-old, Jesse, disappeared without a trace. Warpath states that those facts add why he is here: he was catching a few winks back at his X-Force headquarters over at Camp Verde, when he started to have a spirit encounter. He saw the Wendigo, clear as everything. He was leading an Indian boy by the hand, and it was Jesse Pinto. James identified the boy later when seeing his family photo. The two of them walked right past James like he wasn’t there, and right out through the opposite wall of his bedroom!
Wyatt concludes that now they have both James and Johnny both seeing missing children. He wonders what that means. Johnny angrily states that he doesn’t know, but he does know someone who they can ask it to.
Later, at the Trading Post…
Johnny begs Clara for help, because this is really important and he believes that her mystic eyes might be able to help them. Clara panics and corrects Johnny that he doesn’t understand. Her powers are beginning to possess and change her and bend her on their own ways. And she knows that there is something hidden about those powers, something that may be horribly evil. Johnny defends that it’s for his kids he’s asking the help. It’s for Emma and Craig, and now also this Jesse boy. Wyatt understands Clara’s concerns, but he asks her what she is going to do if there is a way to access the Power of the Eye, which she possesses, without endangering herself. Clara admits to Johnny that she is afraid for her very soul.
Outside the bar, Princess Python is eavesdropping on the conversation, but gets busted. But Pyton doesn’t care about the guy and tells him to mind his own business.
Later, at home of Wyatt from the Tribal council…
Everyone goes to sit in a circle. Wyatt shows a basket, mentioning that it was given to him by his grandmother. He explains that it has powers that are far from beyond his comprehension, but he suspects that it is a focal point to channel mystic energies. Clara doesn’t understand how that’s going to help them use her powers. Wyatt would like to see what would happen if they’d place the jar with the Eyes inside the basket. Clara only hesitantly agrees to try it out.
They go for it. Wyatt places a green jar on his basket. Suddenly, the entire room is filled with light. The light is so intense that it makes the blazing Arizona sun seem pale and cold! Wyatt feels like his eyeballs are being seared. Warpath reminds him that it’s just the mists of the worldly illusion burning away and, suddenly, everyone finds themselves floating over a desert landscape! Warpath states that everything that they can see is open to interpretation.
Johnny recognizes that this desert is the same landscape he saw in the Sacred Kiva! And he also spots the Wendigo! Warpath notices that Wendigo is holding something strange. It looks like some sort of tongs. Ice tongs to be precise! Johnny gets furious as he knows who they belong to: Icebox Bob! Bob reveals himself, while sitting in a charged-up electrical chair. He admits that the tongs belong to him. And he wants them back, so he can use them to bang them on Johnny’s head. Johnny tries to attack Bob, but Wyatt tries to hold him back, reminding Johnny that all this is just an illusion.
He adds that all of this is just a glimpse into a different sort of reality. They have to sort out what they see and try to make it fit into their own world. Carla notices butterflies coming out of a portal and wants to know what they mean. Wyatt admits that the butterflies represent souls. But he doesn’t know what kinds of souls they are. He wonders if they are bright singing spirits soaring into the light, or are they something else altogether? The butterflies gather into one point, and transform into Ratcheeb! He proudly declares that the souls are tasty, but sarcastically jokes that he has a few souls left he’s saving for a special occasion. Namely the souls of Jesse, Craig and Emma. The devil-like creature starts to laugh and Johnny rushes to beat him up.
Warpath tackles him, and everything turns back to normal. He explains to Johnny that he’s supposed to learn from the spirit vision, and not go running amok against it. Johnny calms down and James lets him back up. But he doesn’t know if he can keep working with Johnny and Wyatt, since he’s a loner. The phone rings. Wyatt enters it, and is startled to hear there has been another murder, this time at the Trading Post. And the caller thinks that the murderer is still inside it?!
They rush to the Post. Johnny asks Wyatt if he knows the local top cop. Wyatt admits that he does, and explains that the officer’s name is Tyrell Manhunter. He believes that’s an appropriate name. They arrive at the Post and meet up with Manhunter and his other men. Johnny explains to Tyrell that his two companions have a special interest in this case and may have an inside track on what’s going on here. He adds that this is spirit world stuff.
Manhunter isn’t surprised to hear that. He adds that he’s got himself a situation here, and doesn’t want it to go haywire, but the council told him to corporate with Wyatt and his friends so that’s what Tyrell is going to do. He thinks they’ve got a “make” on the guy inside the building. They believe it’s Daryll Licht, who is a graduate student over the State University. He was doing a paper on the “dark side of shamanism in Native American cultures of the Southwest.” Manhunter shows a picture of Daryll, and adds that the boy has been staying at the motel on the highway, coming around asking questions. The police went over to see the Pinto family quite a bit because Shirley was a big-time medicine man. They searched Licht’s room and found a broken action figure of Magneto.
Johnny wanders off, wanting to have a word with Licht before the officers fire upon him and he won’t be able to anymore. Manhunter tries to hold him back, but Johnny ignores him. Tyrell agrees to let Johnny try it his way but warns him to be careful, as there are also three hostages to warn about. Warpath wished that Manhunter had said that earlier, and goes with Johnny. They enter the building, and it’s completely ruined. It looks like Daryll is out of control. James wants to know where the boy is though, but Johnny is more interested in finding the hostages.
Suddenly, black blood drips on Johnny’s shoulder. A corpse falls down from the ceiling, and Warpath notices the two other hostages dead as well. Johnny takes out his gun, immediately wanting to find Licht. A huge werewolf steps forward, declaring that Licht is no more as his spirit now walks on a higher plane! Johnny suspects that Licht must have summon up this creature, but the wolf attacks him. The wolf calls Johnny a fool, claiming that this is the reward of the Trickster, for all the scalps and tasty livers he gave him. The wolf claims that he has been remade and has been given the power of a herd of buffalo! He now has a voice of thunder and the heart of a rattlesnake.
The wolf rushes through the building and makes it outside, and the officers start shooting at it. But their bullets don’t do much good and the wolf keeps fighting his way through. Johnny understands what’s going on: Licht didn’t summon this thing; he made some sort of deal with a mystic entity, and in exchange got transformed into an escapee from an Apache nightmare! Light destroys all of the officers’ cars and runs away.
Johnny decides to follow him on his bike. He knows that Licht thinks he’s pretty tough now, but Johnny knows that the guy hasn’t messed with Hellfire before! Warpath wants to join Johnny, as he wants a piece of the action as well. That’s fine by Johnny, but James will have to keep up because he won’t slow down his ride for him. That’s no problem for James, who jokes that he might even beat the guy to Licht’s hideout because he can run really fast. Wyatt wants to go after the two, but Clara doesn’t think so, realizing that this is something Johnny and Warpath have to deal with themselves.
As they rush over the desert again, Warpath claims that he never heard of a story before where the trickster did anything like this. He doesn’t think this is the style of the trickster. Bats gather together over their heads, and Johnny hallucinates about Ratcheeb again, and panics. He quickly gets himself back together. He believes that any wielding entity can call himself the Trickster, or coyote, or Fin Fang Foom for that matter. He also believes that, whatever this thing is they have to deal with, Johnny believes that it duped Licht, posing as the mystic force that Licht wanted to believe in. He believes the creature is using Licht to gain a foothold on Earth, and it looks like it’s succeeding.
Warpath and Johnny stop in horror, as they can see the wolf using his powers to enlarge himself!

Apache Autumn: part 2: Bad Day At The Haunted Mesa!
Driving and running at full speed, both Johnny and Warpath realize they may be biting off a bit more than they can handle with the rampaging werewolf. Even though he may be big and ugly, they are confident the creature has never been punched in the face by the looks of them. Warpath smashes the werewolf, while Johnny fires his Hellfire bullets from his gun, but neither attack seems to harm the creature.
The werewolf transforms his fingers into snakes and faces Warpath. He isn’t much impressed by the trick, but he still treads into it and gets caught. Johnny gets back onto his bike and drives a few times around the creature, creating a circle of fire around him. But the creature attacks Johnny and punches him off his bike. Johnny already feared something like this might happen, and admits that the werewolf is stronger than he thought he would be. The werewolf opens a vortex and walks towards him, dragging both Johnny and Warpath along. It splits the mesa in half and, while demonic creatures come through the vortex, he steps through it. The creatures fly back into the vortex and it closes.
A few moments later, Wyatt and Clara arrive on the former battlefield. They find Johnny’s bike, but no sign of Johnny himself or Warpath. Clara tells Wyatt to pull over their car, as she wants to touch Johnny’s bike. He doesn’t understand what she could possibly tell from just a touch. Clara explains that Johnny and Warpath have been overpowered by a mystic entity of awesome strength. She can feel that they are close by but surrounded by rock. Wyatt corrects that there’s nothing around them for miles, except for the mesa. Clara believes that’s where their missing friends are.
Wolf and his friends arrive, and he angrily adds that, if Clara knows where Johnny is, he and Kody will be the best of the carnies to get him out. Clara admits that, but she states that first they have to find out more about this strange mesa and, for that, they need the Eyes of the Kristall Starrer and Wyatt’s grandmother’s basket!
In another reality altogether…
An evil man locks Craig and Emma up in a cell. The creature asks the children if they were relieved to briefly see their father before they all got dragged into this dark world. Craig defends that their dad kicked Icebox Bob’s butt, so they have to be released. The creature locks the door, claiming that Blaze and his friend did more than that: they have succeeded in dispersing Bob’s energy. But as of yet, the creature claims, Blaze has yet to discover his identity and that will be his first line of defense against Johnny’s Hellfire powers. One might say that ignorance has been the creature’s greatest weapon.
Once they are alone, Emma believes they’ll never be freed. Craig tells her to be quiet, as he hears someone coming through the sewer hatch nearby them. And a creature actually does, and it carefully looks around the room.
In another cell at the dark reality…
Warpath and Johnny have been chained against a wall in a cave. The werewolf smirks how much he loves the taste of blood. There is a certain mystery to it how it flows. Johnny tells Warpath they have to find a way to free themselves from their mystical shackles. Warpath adds that he doesn’t know much about magic (that’s more up to Johnny’s alley), but he promises that once he’s free he’ll kick the werewolf’s butt.
Earth, the mesa…
Python wants to know what Clara is going to do with those eyeballs they brought her. Clara tells Python that, as she should know the answer to that question as she is aware Python has been spying through the window of her trailer long enough. Clara has her eyes pop out, and Wolf admits that he doesn’t like this idea much. He realizes that Clara’s eyes make her different. She admits that, as her eyes allow her to glimpse the true ugliness of the world. Clara asks Wyatt to place his grandmother’s basket over her head. He does so, and asks Clara if she has any idea what’s going to happen. But she doesn’t have a clue, and they’ll all have to wait and see.
A second later, Wyatt pulls the basket away again, and Clara’s eye sockets are now fully glowing! It pains her, and she releases a blast from them. She feels a searing incandescence, which is a searchlight into unknown worlds, and she must ride the path illuminated by it. She jumps onto Johnny’s bike and starts heading towards the spot they vanished through the vortex.
In the dark reality…
Craig tells his sister not to be scared as the sewer hatch opens, confident that it can’t be much scarier than the creature that took them. Emma shouts at whoever it is to go away and leave them alone. A small boy comes out, joking that’s a cold remark, seeing that he spend two weeks creeping through these drains to get this far. Craig and Emma both want to know who the boy is. The boy introduces himself as Jesse Pinto, and wants to know if the other two kids aren’t friends of the ugly creature. Craig and Emma introduce themselves, wondering if Jesse was brought here by Icebox Bob.
Jesse denies that, aware that Bob just got fried. He corrects that he was kidnapped by Licht. He killed his mother and father and also his brothers and sisters, and traded him to some big, scary creep who never shows himself. Jesse doesn’t know what Licht wanted with him, but he is desperate to escape from this place for some payback. Both Craig and Emma think Jesse is crazy and unable to fight their enemy. Jesse begs to differ, as he’s found a shining thing as a weapon.
Elsewhere…
Johnny can’t gather enough Hellpower strength to free themselves, so Warpath realizes it’s up to him. Warpath gathers enough willpower and strength to release himself, and immediately runs back into action. Johnny realizes that willpower was the mystical shackles weakness. The werewolf isn’t impressed by it all and confident he’ll defeat Warpath again.
Earth…
Kody tries to warn Clara to better get off of Johnny’s bike, as they don’t know what it’s capable off. Python hops onto the bike as well, and Clara explains with the aid of her new mystical eyes she has learned how to use the bike. Besides, she’s only heading towards a straight line, so she doesn’t expect much trouble from the bike. Python admits that she owes Johnny for rescuing her out of the Brownings Corners and wants to pay back her debts, plus she’s getting insane among the carnies. Clara warns Python about the dangers they will possibly meet, but she isn’t interested by those. Clara uses her eye-beams to re-open the vortex and head towards the mountain Johnny and Warpath disappeared through.
The dark dimension…
The werewolf notices Clara’s eye-beams coming through the mountain but suspects it’s Warpath’s doing. He denies that, and he and the creature keep fighting. Meanwhile, Johnny keeps trying to gather enough Hellpower to free himself from the shackles, and is confident that he’ll make it work.
Meanwhile, Jesse explains that the weapon he found is a nail file with the number seven on it. He took it out of Icebox Bob’s head, after Johnny and his friend took him out. Emma and Craig are glad to hear news about their dad. Jesse continues to explain that he was hiding around the corner and just waited until everybody was looking the other way. He saw the entire battle, and saw Johnny shoot Bob and saw how it was hardly doing anything. Then Jesse saw the weird kid sink the nail file he now has into Bob’s forehead, which caused him to die.
Jesse’s grandfather told him that a piece of iron with a powerful number on it is strong medicine. Suddenly, eye-beams shoot through their cell walls. Jesse wants to know what’s going on now. But Craig and Emma haven’t seen anything like it before. The one responsible for the eye-beams steps forward: it’s Wendigo! Jesse knows him, too. Craig and Emma mention they know Wendigo as well. Jesse explains that Wendigo scared the daylights out of him at first, but then he figured he didn’t mean him any harm. Emma thinks Wendigo is weird, though. Wendigo takes Jesse’s file, and disappears through the wall!
Earth:
Clara and Princess Python find Johnny’s gun, and Python uses her snake Benny to help them pick it up. Clara continues driving at top speed, and uses her eye beams in an attempt to re-open the vortex.
The dark dimension…
Johnny finally releases himself, but the werewolf is confident that he won’t be defeated since Johnny doesn’t have his gun with him anymore. Suddenly, the Wendigo enters, but ignores everyone except for Johnny. He hands him over the magic nail file. Johnny recognizes it, as the thing belonged to Blevin! The werewolf doesn’t think the rifle will be good enough to stop him and tries to attack Wendigo, but Wendigo ignores the creature and steps through the portal!
Python wants to know what Clara is doing, but she tells her to shut up as she is trying to concentrate so they can travel through the mountain and make their way to Johnny and Warpath. Finally, Clara succeeds and they drive through the portal. She explains that she was able to open it because it’s a mystic construct that can be pierced with the proper focus of occult energies, which she masters.
Python quickly throws Johnny’s gun back to him, but the werewolf notices the new arrivals and attacks them. Johnny puts the rifle into his gun, and its powers get mixed with the Hellfire. Johnny fires his gun at the werewolf, and he transforms back into Licht! A bright light appears and everyone gets transported back to Earth, and the mystical mesa disappears.
Licht cries for losing his powers and transformed body. Johnny checks up with Clara and Python, and they are all right. Warpath demands to know what happened to Jesse Pinto. Licht defends himself, claiming that all of this is his parents’ fault for never sending him to summer camp like he wanted to. Johnny doesn’t want to hear about that: he is more interested in finding out who Licht made his deal with, and where that guy has taken his kids to!

Apache Autumn: part three: Hungry Spirits!
Johnny, while driving on his motorcycle at top speed, remembers he has been tracking his enemy all the way from Arizona up to the Cascade Mountains in Washington. Mostly, he has been seeing his adversary in feverish conditions like that time in the Sacred Kiva, and he was strolling through Johnny’s nightmare leading his kids away from him!
People all tell Johnny his foe is a legend, or a myth, even a figment of Native American imagination, but all he knows is that he would hunt down the Easter Bunny himself if he thought the bunny would give him a lead towards the whereabouts of his children. Johnny has now chased the Wendigo to the woods, and they are ready for a confrontation.
Johnny holds his gun ready and is ready to shoot the Wendigo with some Hellfire, but on that moment, something weird happens. Johnny sees the Wendigo, carrying Craig, Emma and that missing Jesse kid away on his back! Johnny’s kids are glad to see their dad again, and he calls out to them. Johnny wonders how all this came to be…
Earlier…
Johnny drives towards the Quentin Carnival in Bellingham. He notices an impatient trucker, as behind his truck are some people yelling. Johnny decides to go check them out. Wolf refuses to give Clara her special eyes back, because he noticed they change her, and not into something good. Clara demands them back, but Johnny tries to make them stop arguing. Python defends Clara and hits Johnny with a bag of bricks, telling him to better give Clara her properties back, or else! Johnny realizes that’s the right thing to do, but Wolf still doesn’t think it’s a good idea, but gives them back to Clara.
Clara puts the eyes back in her face, and proudly shouts that the pain feels good to her. She points Johnny into the direction of Eve Two Crows, claiming that she is the woman Warpath and Wyatt had sent him out to find. But she admits Eve doesn’t look much to her. Johnny and Eve shake hands, with Eve remembering Wyatt had told her Johnny would show up to meet her. She reveals that she can see the spirit visions, and that there isn’t much in this world that would surprise her. She leads Johnny into her office, where several other people are also at work.
Eve knows that it doesn’t look much like a shaman’s office from here, but reminds Johnny that she keeps the masks and rattles in the back room for safety reasons. She explains that she’s actually a social worker and that her outreach center, which they are standing in now, services the local Native American community. She has heard from Wyatt that Johnny is interested in the Wendigo, and wants to know if that’s true. Johnny follows Eve in the back room, confirming that. He also explains to her that his two kids have gone missing and that he has good reason to believe that the Wendigo has something to do with it. At least, he saw a vision of his kids with the Wendigo in a sweat lodge down in Arizona.
Eve remembers that Wyatt told her that Warpath saw the Wendigo with Johnny’s kids, too. She thinks that’s beyond coincidence, and suggests they look him up in her computer databanks. She explains that she does most of her spirit vision watching on the CRT screen these days, and admits that there isn’t much difference shaking between a ground rattle and spinning a hard disk, as they are just two difference ways towards the same ending. She comes up with a map, which is a comprehensive listing of all Wendigo sightings in the last twenty years.
Johnny is surprised so many Wendigo exists. He also believes that’s a pattern he can see on the map. Clara surprisingly enters the office, telling Johnny to get real. Johnny is surprised by the new leather outfit Clara wears. She jokes that Johnny shouldn’t be surprised that she has such good taste. Clara thinks she can speed up things regarding Johnny’s search, and hits Eve’s computer with an electrical surge coming from her eyes! On that very moment, Johnny can see the Wendigo again!
Johnny finds himself back in the forest, to a couple of days ago, when he first noticed the Wendigo with his kids. He knows that he can’t shoot know, realizing his kids are nearby. Craig, Emma and Jesse try to call out for help. Johnny responds, but neither group seems to be able to hear one another.
A few moments ago, in Icebox Bob’s world…
The kids remember that they saw the Wendigo being able to walk through walls, at least with the help of a little teleportation portal. They decided to hitch a ride, so they can finally escape from their cell.
Outside, a mysterious monster appears, believing it’s finally time for his deliverance! It’s time for the end game. The monster smiles, mentioning that he allowed the kids to escape, since by traveling to a portal in the hope to return to their own Earth, the monster knows that they weaken the fabric of all realities, so he is no longer bound to this awful world and can hereby travel to Earth as well! He notices that Wendigo’s portal is still opens, and jumps through it.
Wendigo lands in another reality, where he has to jump over some rocks to get towards the exit. Craig wonders if the Wendigo isn’t taking him to some even more terrible place than the one they used to be in. Jesse is confident that the Wendigo doesn’t have any bad intentions. Suddenly, they notice some other stranded creatures, and don’t like the looks of them. Hafga wonders who the new visitors are, thinking they might form a threat against the Tetrarchs of Entropy. Yod doesn’t think so, recognizing the kids as transient beings and Wendigo as an international traveler. Vug notices the kids, and notices Wendigo walking towards an open portal, hoping that this might be their way out of this exiled dimension as well!
The monster from Icebox Bob’s world appears, and he is angry with the Tetrarchs for trying to interfere. Enraged, He attacks them. They are surprised that the monster is still alive, as they thought he was dead. The monster claims that he is eternal and cannot die, unlike the Tetrarchs can. He attacks them again, hoping he can kill them. Jesse warns the Wendigo he better hurries up before the monster follows them as well. Wendigo apparently understands, and walks through the portal.
This brings us back to the present moment…
Johnny drives on his bike at top speed. He believes Eve hit it right on the nose when she recognized the mountains around that Clara enhanced for them using her special eyes. The kids try to call out to Blaze, but neither group can hear one another. Johnny wonders why the kids are screaming, believing that the Wendigo might be a threat for them and that’s the reason why they are screaming. Suddenly, the monster appears through the portal and Johnny attacks it with Hellfire, but the monster claims he can’t be killed. He hits Johnny down.
The kids worry, but the Wendigo starts fighting the monster now. The monster introduces himself as Baal, claiming he has been on Earth before and, on that day, the inhabitants of this world were all defeated by him. Johnny gets up and quickly reloads his gun, and hits Baal with some Hellfire. Now aflame, Baal claims that he was old when Jezebel worshipped him, and that his name is legion. Johnny mocks that must mean he’s like an open sore. Baal angrily slaps Johnny again, not wanting to be mocked. Baal recognizes that the Hellfire runs strong in Blaze and in “the other one,” but knows that the other one is beyond his reach, and that he isn’t so easily to manipulate like Blaze is, as he’s got his kids to worry about.
Baal admits that he thought he needed Johnny’s children to lure Johnny into his former home of banishment, but admits that he didn’t realize that the children themselves could find a way to destroy the barriers that kept him from re-entering this world. And now, he claims that Blaze has become extraneous. He wants Johnny’s corporal mass to cease to be, and forever scream in horror. Johnny is surprised to find out that Baal is the one who kidnapped his kids.  Wendigo gives Jesse his nail file, and he realizes what to do. The Wendigo walks towards the monster, and Jesse sticks the file its arm. Baal’s arm starts to wither, and he angrily attacks the kids and Wendigo!
Johnny notices that the weaker Baal gets, the more trouble he has for staying into this world. He hits him a couple of times with his shotgun, but Baal quickly gets himself back up. Though he is badly hurt, he can still use his optic beams and shoots Johnny down. Baal admits that he’s got to retreat and disappears back through the portal, but not before promising he’ll come back for revenge once he’s healed.
Jesse notices that the portal is still open, and hops back on Wendigo’s back, wanting to get his revenge on Baal for murdering his family. He tries to get Craig and Emma along with him, confident that nobody will be able to sleep tightly again, knowing that a monster is still on the loose. Craig agrees, and tells Emma to stay with their dad to make sure he’s okay. He’ll go with Jesse to help him out.
Emma isn’t sure what to do. She knows she can’t let her brother go alone, because she’ll worry too much about him. She kisses her dad on the cheek, and runs after Craig and Jesse. Johnny wakes up after the kiss, only to see his kids and Jesse disappear again with the Wendigo.

You Win ! She’s Back ! Blink
(The Age of Apocalypse)
Dallas, Texas. Three X-Men have come to this once thriving city to evacuate a few human survivors. Rogue and Morph are two of them, but they are being swamped by the enemy, and Angel’s air support hasn’t shown up like they were expecting. Hiding behind some debris, Rogue orders Morph to take a peek and let her know what the odds are. Being his usual comic self, Morph tries to lighten things up by stating that he was never good at math, but Rogue is not in the mood. Morph stretches his neck and from their hiding place he gazes at hundreds of Infinites on the street below. Rogue suggests to Blink that they teleport the survivors to safety, however Blink has gone. A male survivor says that the purple girl left about five minutes ago. Rogue is very, very angry.
Meanwhile, Blink is spying out one of Apocalypse’s dann
fortresses. A place where experiments are conducted on humans and other unspeakable acts of evil are carried out. They are meant to send a message to the people, telling them to give up and that there is no hope to overcome the will of their ruler Apocalypse. But Clarice Ferguson, aka Blink, charges her way into the fortress, blinking away attacking Infinites and remembering her life. Raised on the Bahamas, her parents brought her to the Unites States when she was four years old, to protect her as she was born with purple skin and strange markings. About four years later Apocalypse appeared and wrested control over America, and in one of Sinister’s raids her parents were killed. Clarice was brought to the pens from where she later was rescued by Victor Creed and taken into the X-Men. One of the Infinites mistakenly calls her Nightcrawler; but she tell them her name is Blink, and teleports him and several guards away. She doesn’t know where she’s sent them to however; which she blames it on Dark Beast’s “tampering” of her. Sometimes the matter she moves reappears elsewhere, sometimes it comes back or in other occasions is held in stasis.
As she fights her way into a dark laboratory, she finds a green skinned alien on an operating table. Blink silently curses at Apocalypse, when she suddenly hears a familiar voice, one that sends prickles up her spine. It’s the Dark Beast, who’s vile face appears on a giant monitor above her, taunting her about how “intimate” they were. He tells her that the green skinned creature is an ambassador for the planet Poppup who made the mistake lots of aliens made. He asked to be taken to earth’s leader and ended up in the Beast’s labs. of Dark Beast goes on to say that every strand of DNA of every member of this species is identical, and he plans on copying the original DNA over and over again to create a vast army!
At that moment, miles away, Rogue and Morph are in the heat of battle, thinking Blink has gone AWOL just when they needed her most. Rogue hopes that wherever Blink is she better show up soon.
Blink holds one of her crystal daggers over the alien’s body, planning to put him out of his misery. The Dark Beast does not believe she has the heart to do it as she is an X-Man now, and they are known for their soft attitude. Blink agrees, but states she was also trained by Sabretooth. The alien begs her to go through with it, but she still hesitates. Yet as the Dark Beast starts laughing, she finally rams the dagger into the aliens chest, who then gets teleported away, a result she did not expect. With his guinea pig gone, the Dark Beast angrily questions her where the alien has been teleported to, but he already suspects that Blink herself doesn’t know. She says that at least it’s better than here. The big monitor screen goes blank and the Dark Beast is gone.
(one week later)
At Grand Central Station, Blink sadly looks at what once was the awe-inspiring entrance into the greatest city on the face of earth. Now it’s nothing more than graveyard of dreams. She wonders whether there is anyplace better than this, any place that has not been turned into nightmare. Right then Magneto shows up, telling Blink that this is not working out. When Sabretooth rescued her from the pens, she said she wanted to help the X-Men, but she doesn’t do what she’s told and puts everyone else in jeopardy, so Magneto can no longer allow her to be part of his X-Men. Blink angrily replies that they are not his X-Men, and that they all have their own feelings and thoughts on everything ! “Don’t think you can get rid of me just because I wont march in goosestep with the rest of your mindless little sold...” begins Blink, before Magneto flattens her with a steel girder. He says he knows how she feels; like her he was raised in a death camp. He can relate the difficulty of believing in something when everything one has loved has been destroyed. Magneto tells her she has one more chance, and if she breaks it she wont have a home with the X-Men no longer. As he flies away, Blink screams at him, saying that maybe she doesn’t need the X-Men, maybe she doesn’t need anybody.
Apocalypse’s stronghold has been build on Manhattan Island, it is several miles long. Apocalypse lets anyone know where he lives, as he thinks that no one is suicidal enough to take the fight to him. Yet someone is - Blink. She wants to take the fight to the source of evil himself, and knows that she will most definitely die in the process; but a part of her wishes that, a release from the pain that has been there since she watched her parents slaughtered. Hiding in the shadows, she makes her way into the citadel unseen. Suddenly she becomes aware of a strange scene.
Holocaust has been alerted to an ambush in his master’s sanctum, by monsters from another world. In reality they are Baluurrians from the Negative Zone, who arrived through a breach between dimensions. Led by Blastaar, the Balluurrians battle the Infinites guard until Blastaar himself feels the power of one of Holocaust’s blasts. Blastaar orders his people to retreat, but he vows to return with an entire army that will crush Apocalypse and his people. Then they leave through their portal. Having witnessed the entire exchange, Blink wonders whether these Baluurrians might help them, as one of the Infinites spot her. Blink is ordered not to move, but the agile young woman outmoves him and before Holocaust or any of the Infinites can catch her, she jumps into the closing dimensional breach after the Baluurrians.
Blink finds herself waking up on a rock, floating though space in the Negative Zone. Suddenly a man points a gun in her face, telling her to speak and name herself. But Blink hesitates, saying she can’t remember who she is ...

Through The Looking Glass
Clarice Ferguson, aka Blink, doesn’t remember who she is, nothing about the war torn world from which she comes from, the Age of Apocalypse, or how she ended up here or wherever here is. At the moment she looks down at the barrel of a gun; and instinctively remembers what to do when faced with that. She fights, acting on pure instinct as her body remembers her mentor Victor Creed’s teachings, and beats her attacker to the floor, taking his gun with a consummate ease. Her attacker is impressed with her skills so far, however he fights Blink back, saying that she had a chance to kill him, but she didn’t, and that he might regret of having to dispose an as good assassin as she is. Blink elbows him in the mouth; kicks him in the groin and hold his gun at his neck. She explains that she did not start this conflict, and that she is not trying to kill him, because if she wanted to he’d already be dead by now.
The man is angry, and wanting to finish this fight off immediately, he violently flings Blink off him. She flees, hiding amongst the floating rocks in the weird environs of the Negative Zone, to prepare herself for the next stage of the battle. Then her attacker jumps at her, knives in both hands; but things go differently, and they end up in a struggle, with one of the knives pressed at Blink’s throat, and the other at the man’s throat. Blink tells him they should stop trying to kill each other, and orders him to tell her where they are and why they can breathe on these floating rocks in space. The man thinks she is strange. She thinks he’s stranger. The man offers a truce, and Blink agrees; and suddenly he has her in a huge bear hug, congratulating her on being such a formidable warrior, and glad that she offers him no harm. She says no harm as long as he puts her down.
Then suddenly there is a lava quake - hot molten rock explodes up from the rock they are standing on, and he pulls Blink with him as they jump over the rock’s edge. Blink thinks they are about to fall to their doom; but the man calls the name Marcul, and a winged animal looking like a cross between a horse and a cat, swoops in. They land on it’s back, and the man explains that Marcul is a ferecat, one which he has tamed. He’s surprised that she hasn’t heard of them before.
Later, as the pair ride into the calmer provinces of the Negative Zone, which has light blue rocks floating around a darker blue space, Blink has been telling Ahmyor of her amnesia; that she knows her name, but nothing much else, except for brief flashes of memory. They reach a set of stairs floating in space. Blink thinks she’s seeing things, but is assured there really is stairs floating in front of her. Ahmyor explains that he sees phantoms too; that he is tortured by visions of their former leader, the mad and corrupt Annihilus. But Annihilus was toppled by four blue clad superheroes (the Fantastic Four). Blink doesn’t see what’s so bad about this, but Ahmyor goes on to tell her that they inherited something much worse after Annihilus’s rule was ended.
Blink asks what could be worse when Marcul goes wild, sensing danger with her powerful sonar and smell senses. Thus the duo come upon a small island, and Ahmyor uses some enhancements on his goggles to see that the lowlanders are under attack! Blink asks who they are; Ahmyor explains they are just simple people with little fight in them. When they arrive they find the people under attack by Blastaar’s men. Blink smells burnt flesh; blood; and feels that it is very, disturbingly familiar. Ahmyor jumps off the ferecat to fight, leaving Blink unable to handle Marcul on her own. She senses that Ahmyor is noble, and that these “hairy things” are about to carve up an old woman, so she charges Marcul along, plowing down one of Blastaar’s warriors.
Blink jumps off Marcul and joins the fight; but is beset by a vision of a feral warrior with a hand missing, and another hand armed with claws (Weapon X). For a moment she remembers herself, but her guard is down, and a warrior is about to slice her head off when Ahmyor blasts him with a weird energy weapon, showering Blink with pink goo. He tells her to be mindful, but she has spotted two of Blastaar’s men sneaking up behind Ahmyor, so she summersaults in the air, lands behind them, and blinks the soldiers away. Again she acted on pure instinct and is not sure how she did it, but Ahmyor is glad anyway. Blink is not sure what it all means, and finds the people they saved are kneeling down to them. An old man thanks Annihilus for sending them to protect them all from Blastaar. Blink wonders who Blastaar is, and Ahmyor explains that he is the new leader of this place, more evil than Annihilus ever was, the “something much worse” he was about to tell her about earlier.
Ahmyor tells her “Blastaar is a pretender to the throne. He is driven not to rule, but to destroy. He wishes to lead Annihilus’s people into war with the people of Earth.” That name, “Earth”, strikes a chord within Blink, as Ahmyor screams to the people that they will rise up and fight against Blastaar and return the Negative zone to its rightful master, Annihilus! Blink doesn’t know why, but she knows that she is somehow familiar with the concept of fighting for freedom from an oppressive ruler.

On The Side Of The Angels
Blink remembers that her name is Clarice, but nothing else. Her amnesia is extensive, she has the occasional flash of memory but nothing substantive enough to completely jog her memory. All she knows in her former life was war; and all she’s experiencing now is war as well. At the moment she is riding a ferecat called Tavella, being pursued by four winged, bat-like warriors who honor Blastaar. It turns out Blink has attacked one of Blastaar’s garrisons, and the soldiers are in pursuit. They think her trapped in a canyon; but it’s a set-up. Ahmyor and the rebels are waiting for them. The winged warriors attempt an escape, but one of them knows it is futile, and they are all killed by a hail of arrows and spears.
Ahmyor congratulates Blink, but she’s not so happy. He agrees, saying they’ve only brought down the forward guards. The two kiss, and he calls her a marvel. “Yeah. That’s me. Miss Marvel”, Blink answers mournfully. She pulls away from the kiss to carry on with the next part of the plan; to excise the watchtower posts. Blink pulls one of her crystals from her quiver and rides off.
The watchtower guards are wondering what is keeping the winged infantry guards so long; after all it was only one lone woman they were after. Suddenly the lower half of Blink’s body is seen on a pair of binoculars; but it’s far too late. She jumps in, beating them around, telling them what useless guards they are. As one of their swords flies over the edge of the tower she blinks it away, and it materializes near to Ahmyor, where he and the rebels are waiting. This blade is the signal that he has been waiting for to start the attack. “All those who seek freedom !”, he cries.
Inside the main citadel various guards are sat around a table playing a card game. One of them is angry that the serving girl with the food hasn’t shown up. Then the table shakes. Outside, on the castle walls, someone screams “To your posts now!” as the rebels begin storming the main gates. Meanwhile Blink is quite easily subduing one pathetic guard after another, commenting on how she had a harder time stealing food when she was a kid. Blink can’t remember much of her childhood, but she is sure it was harder than this. She finds the master key in the grasp of an unconscious guard.
A huge battering ram with a purple head and horns smashes through the main gates as Blink lets herself into the dungeons. But the dark terrifies her, stemming from her captivity as a child. Then a vile smell hit her; of rancid food and excrement. She is shocked when she finds the children of the royal family of Annihilus’s loyalists, chained up; beaten and starved and ritually abused by their captors. It stirs memories in her so horrible she can’t help but relive them ...
(flashbacks)
Blink remembers her childhood in the Age of Apocalypse. She was in the pens,  concentration camps for humans and dissidents. She would cuddle up with Illyana for warmth and escape; but it was always short lived, for the Sugar Man would come. Blink loved Illyana deeply, but she always hoped that he’d take her first. But he never did.
(present)
The memory makes Blink break down. As Ahmyor enters to comfort her she cries that she can’t make sense of it all and that she feels so lost. She wonders whether she loves him or if she’s just clinging to him. Then part of her wonders, if it really makes any difference.
(four days later)
Blink, Ahmyor and a few rebels are walking across the sand, riding their ferecats. He asks her whether the heat of the suns are uncomfortable; there are three. But she thinks it’s beautiful. Ahmyor tells her that she has made him happy, as a man and a warrior, and that she has restored his soul. She tries to joke, and he asks her why she does that every time he’s about to tell her he loves her. She tells him she must, every time. Blastaar’s guards are watching this sweet conversation, thinking it’s so very beautiful. So they blast the pair with some type of stun weapon, and ride in on sleds to pick them up.
Blink awakes, hands tied behind her back. It is dark. She sees Ahmyor tied to a large stake in the ground, from where he apologizes for their capture. Then they hear a voice, mocking their love; and suddenly the duo find themselves in a massive coliseum, filled with literally thousands of people. Sat at a throne is Blastaar, who sneers that he’s very happy that he’s captured the woman who has taken the heart of “this worm”, as he calls Ahmyor. Blink isn’t impressed by him, and is about to tell him how she’ll kill him when Blastaar shoots a green beam of energy from his hand at the floor near Blink’s feet, sending her flying. He tells her he is more formidable than the hounds that serve him, and the monster that is her lover. Blink says that if there is a monster it is Blastaar, and the tyrant grabs her by her hair and flings her across the ground violently. He tells her that his rule is fair when compared to that of Annihilus, and asks her whether she’s even heard of him. Blastaar, loving the pain he’s causing, proceeds with his revelation. “He really hasn’t told you, has he? Well, deception is his life’s blood... for your dearest Ahmyor is the demon Annihilus!” Blink is shocked, as Ahmyor cries out that it has to be a lie.

Full Blink Recall
Clarice Ferguson, aka Blink, is tired. Abandoned. Weakened. Broken. Amnesiac. She has just found out that her lover, Ahmyor, is actually the evil deposed ruler of the Negative Zone, Annihilus. The two of them are currently chained up in adjoining cells in Blastaar’s dungeon. He tells her he never meant to deceive her and that he had no memory of his former life; that he himself was the evil ruler that the both of them were attempting to put back in power. He tells her that surely she can sympathize. He realizes that he had no right to involve her in his war. Blink just wishes that he would shut up - she thought the rebellion was honorable. Instead she finds out it was just about a dictator reclaiming his throne! Ahmyor tells her when he was deposed as Annihilus he regressed to an earlier form, the man she knows. At least he assumes that’s what happened. But he cannot comprehend the damage he performed as Annihilus, and the Annihilation Cannon that he created. He tells her he will never be that monster again, because of his love for her. Two guards listen to his ranting, wondering whether they should have beaten him more severely. Blink starts to cry as the guards enter Ahmyor’s cell and start to beat him around as they take him away, telling him cruelly that Blink wants nothing from him.
As Ahmyor is let outside the cell block, he passes Blink’s cell, but she refuses to even look at him. “True enough, soldier...She knows of his dark heart. There isn’t a creature in the Zone who doesn’t...” taunts Blastaar, just entering. He tells Blink he must be much easier to gaze upon than Annihilus, although he can see why she would be attracted to his current appearance. Then he tells her that this version is pure of heart, and truly remembers nothing of what he once was. Blink is shocked, Ahmyor was really telling the truth and had no idea of his identity. Blastaar goes on to tell her that as a man he wasn’t a threat to him as a man, noble and duty bound, he wasn’t fit to be leader of the brutal Negative Zone. Blastaar throws down her quiver, telling her that Ahmyor had kept it; as a keepsake maybe ? Blastaar walks away, parting with the threat that Ahmyor will be dead soon and he will return to punish her later. Blink vows to come for her love.
Blastaar’s legions are cheering loudly. Ahmyor has been strapped to the Annihilation Cannon, the thing of destruction he had created when he was Annihilus. Ahmyor is slowly turning back into the monstrous ruler as he begs Blastaar to stop this madness, saying that it won’t mean the end of Earth, but of all creation. Blastaar thinks the irony of a man who calls himself Annihilus being so fickle is hilarious. He goes on to explain that this device would not function without the cosmic control rod joined to Annihilus’s form, and soon he will overwhelm the Earth !
The two guards watching over Blink are nasty to her because they are missing out on the excitement above. They figure they should take it out on her. Blink knows they are the guards that abused the loyalist’s children, and warns them they will die if they don’t let her go right past them. They laugh at her boldness, because with the cell she’s in inhibits her teleportation ability. So Blink easily cuts through her bonds with a sharp stone that got embedded in her arm from earlier and proceeds to viciously beat them up, angry for her treatment, for Ahmyor’s treatment and for the children’s treatment. Her rage going down, she picks up her quiver. But whether it was the adrenaline or her emotions, as she grabs one of her bolts the memories all come flooding back...of the X-Men, and the war torn world she comes from. But it is home nevertheless.
“I am Clarice Ferguson. I am Blink.” But she knows she has one thing to do before she returns home.
Outside, Blastaar announces that the cosmic control rod will draw the cannon into the Annihilation Zone, where it will begin it’s deadly work. Blink teleports in next to the transforming Ahmyor. He tells her to go, there is no time; but she wont. A guard tells Blastaar he’ll fire at them, but Blastaar smirks, knowing it is too late, and they wont be going anywhere. Blink tells Ahmyor that she won‘t be leaving without him, but he screams no, that the cannon was altered, and if he is removed it will go off. It is too late. Blink however says she can still get him out; she has three bolts left. One for the each of them, and the third to send the cannon into Blastaar’s backyard – so the good guys will win after all. But Ahmyor feels the Annihilus personality is taking over, and says that there are no good guys, only Blastaar and Annihilus. He tells her he’s not the man that loved her and that she has to leave now, and that if she has any love for him she will go. He doesn’t want to die knowing that he destroyed the only being he ever loved. They kiss, and Blink teleports them, and the cannon, away, ignoring his advice.
Blastaar and his servants see the cannon evaporating instead of the expected explosion. Suddenly the cannon does explode, though behind them, where Blink teleported it to. Less than three miles away Annihilus is safe, and all he can think about is revenge and hate...but an image of Clarice flutters across his mind’s eye, giving him a moment of peace.
On Earth, the Age of Apocalypse, Rogue has cooked for the X-Men. The food it bad. Sabretooth is angry that they are all sitting around eating while one of their number is missing, probably dead. Rogue states that they all have searched  and will continue to do so, but they need a moment to rest, besides Blink is an X-Man now and can take care of herself. All of a sudden, Quicksilver senses a vibration, and Blink teleports in, crashing into the table. Sabretooth is overjoyed to see her alive, wondering where she’s been and that they’ve been looking for her everywhere. Blink can’t help it, and hugs her mentor, bursting into tears, telling him everything about the Negative Zone and the lover she found and lost. Sabretooth later tells her not to give up. Fate brought them together and it also broke them apart, but it can never change Blink’s feelings for Ahmyor.
(months later)
It is the end of the world. Blink is running as everything blows up around her; she is tired in body and spirit and feels abandoned, weakened and broken. She doesn’t want it to end, her friends, her family and her foes, but they will all cease to exist. An explosion knocks her into a river, and she is pulled under the water. She reaches towards an energy portal that is opening in front of her, and is suddenly pulled into it...
Absolutely nowhere. Absolutely nowhen. Light blue skies over a never ending desert landscape. Peaceful. A portal opens up, dumping Blink into the sand. She stands up, wondering where everybody is. “Don’t complain so much,” says a female voice behind her. “At least you have clothes on.” Blink turns around to see a blue skinned woman with dreadlocks crouching on the ground in her underwear. “Relax. I rarely fight people in my underwear... How they got in my underwear I’ll never know ...”

Asher is watching the Cheerleaders practise whilst eating his lunch. He feels like is going to 'explode' when Fagin asks if he can join him. Before Asher can chat with him, a large teenager tells Asher to move out of the way, picks him up and threatens to beat him up. Fagin tells him to leave him alone and fight with him instead. The bully drops Asher and then walks away. Fagin asks if Asher wants to leave and have some fun and Mike agrees. Before they go Asher catches up with Kary who tells him she need to think about it some more. Fagin tells him he isn't going to get anything from her; As they leave Fagin introduces himself to Asher.
On the roof, Orwell and Hoffman agree that there is something special about this one (Asher) but there is also something dangerous at the school other than them. D and D close their locker, which is full of guns, and then pretend to shoot one of the teachers with their hands.
Fagin and Asher get some food at a diner before running away without paying. Asher wonders why they did that as he had money, but Fagin just tells him to keep it. Fagin tells Asher that he thinks they are alike. He tells him that the world is messed up and that society keeps people down. Asher has no idea what he is talking about, and Fagin still can't believe that Asher doesn't know what he is. Screams are heard nearby and they run to find out what it is. On arriving on the scene Fagin and Asher see a mutant with purple skin being beaten up by an angry mob. Fagin decides to join in and help the mutant and as he does so tells Asher he is a mutant just like him. Fagin beats some of the mob up before being knocked out by a baseball bat. The mob turn their attentions onto Asher but before anything can happen Hoffman arrives on the scene. He appears to be controlling the mob and stops the fighting. He helps the purple skinned mutant to his feet and lets him get on his way. He asks if Asher is ok and asks him to leave with him, which Asher does. Fagin takes an envelope (with a red cross on it) from his pocket and gives it to the mob as he gets up and leaves with the others. After they have left the mob realise that Hoffman was a mutant and must have done something to their minds, they open the envelope which has a note saying "Revolution not Evolution" on it. They decide to go after them when Oswald arrives on the scene. He uses his power and the entire block is engulfed in a giant explosion. Nearby Hoffman, tells Asher that things must change and welcomes Asher to the Brotherhood.

Who is X ?
TV-host Doctor Ross Ludlum introduces his guest senator Catherine Niles. Together they will talk about the mutant crisis. Ludlum remarks that her predecessor was in favour of mutant registration and monitoring. Niles seems more in favour of co-operation between mutants and humans and the government should help the mutants control their powers. To help the mutants she wants to find out how many mutants there are and who they are. The interview then turns towards the terrorist acts of the Brotherhood and it's leader X. The senator tells him that the U.S. intelligence is working together with other nations to apprehend the terrorists.
A strike team invades a so-called Brotherhood Stronghold in Colombia, but they find only a crying girl. When they want to take her for interrogation, the girl turns out to be a pyrotechnic, that takes out the team with an explosive fireball.
In Brooklyn Hoffman and Fagin are watching their new target for recruitment, Asher. Fagin wants to check the boy out, afraid that he will do something stupid, but Hoffman thinks Asher just needs time. Orwell, the mute telepath arrives, spooks Fagin and reports the recent events in Columbia. Orwell and Hoffman leave to investigate who betrayed them in Colombia.
Inside Asher's house, Asher is playing a computer game, trying to release his rage. When he loses the game, he breaks the screen in front of him. While his hand is bleeding, his father asks him if everything is okay; he's been locked inside his rooms for days and hasn't spoken to anyone.
Back in the offices of Dr. Ludlum, he assures his wife Lisa on the phone that their daughter Tracy will not be tested on the mutant gene. He gets another call and Catherine, probably one of his assistants, tells him that the capture of X has backfired.
The sole survivor of the strike team is brought to Barksdale Air Force base in Louisiana, where he is diagnosed with third degree burns on 95% of his body. A mysterious man arrives, who wants to ask the soldier some questions. The doctors take the wounded man inside, while a soldier stops the mysterious man, who tells him that he will not let that man die without him telling what happened.
The next day, Asher's girlfriend Kary approaches him and sees his wounded hand. She tells him that doesn't want to "do it" with him yet and that they should wait. Asher doesn't really react and he is then attacked by Joey, the school bully who was stopped the other day by Fagin. Asher doesn't resist
and tells Kary to go away when she wants to help him. D. and D., two outcasts, pick up Asher and tell him that they have to fight back. Fagin sees this and decides to intervene.
Barksdale Air Force base: the mysterious man wants to talk to the wounded soldier, although the soldier will probably not survive the night. When he wants to enter, he is sent away by a general, who will interrogate the soldier himself. The mysterious man leaves without complaints, striking a match on a
fire extinguisher.
Back in Brooklyn, D. and D. show Asher their armoury and tell him that they have bombs all over the school and want to take revenge on all the students who have embarrassed them in their lives. Asher tells them that he's a mutant and tears away with the bandages, so the bleeding starts again. One of the D's
pulls a knife and threatens Asher, but Asher only wants him to kill him, so they run away. Asher looks at the knife that was dropped. The two kids run into Fagin and tell him that Asher's crazy and that he has a knife. He enters the toilets and sees Asher, ready to cut his arm.
In the airforce base, the wounded soldier hands a letter over to the general, whose name is Hammond. The letter is from X and tells him that he has failed twice: the Brotherhood lives on and Hammond won't. When the general asks the soldier for an explanation, the soldier turns out to be a Brotherhood-agent
and he blows up the hospital.
Fagin stops Asher from killing himself, by telling him that being a mutant has advantages. He asks if Asher doesn't want to know what power he has; according to Hoffman, he should be very powerful. Asher is still not sure, but he is curious. Fagin takes away the knife and tells him that should he develop an
useless power, that he will kill him himself. Then he tells Asher that they will go away, take care of his wounds, get drunk and find a nice mutant girl to deal with Asher's other problem.
Dr. Ludlum arrives on the airbase with a helicopter and is shocked. He had a meeting with Hammond. The mysterious man orders the rescue team to report to him and tells him that he is now in charge. He then invites Ludlum for dinner so that he can tell him his source of information and how he can help him destroy the Brotherhood.

Drunk, with power that could destroy the world
D&D, the two Goth kids that want to kill everybody at their school, have decided that Mike Asher should also be a target, because he has told them that he's a mutant. One of the them puts a knife in a picture of Mike. They then decide that they are going to take out everybody at their school for making their lives a living hell. One of the D's regrets that they told Asher about their plans, because he is a mutant. The other D's mother calls from above: Harold (his real name) has to take out the trash. She asks if Joel (the other D) is with him and tells him to help Harold. Joel then decides to take action tomorrow.
In a club in lower Manhattan, Mike asks Fagin if everyone in this club is a mutant. Fagin answers that only some are, others are wannabe-mutants and the rest are clueless and that those would probably run away to test themselves for the Legacy Virus if they found out that they went to the same club as mutants. Mike asks about the Legacy Virus and Fagin tells him that it was the scourge of mutantkind and that humans could catch it, too, but that's all history now. Fagin offers Asher a joint, Mike isn't sure. Before Fagin can convince Mike, another Brotherhood operative enters. Her name is Marabeth and Fagin introduces her to Mike. Marabeth then tells Mike not to take any drugs from Fagin, since mutant powers and drugs don't mix. She hits Fagin and remembers him about a girl last month. She couldn't handle the strain of her
powers and scored some cheap drugs on the street. Fagin tells her that he remembers. Asher wants to know what happened, but Marabeth tells him to just stay away from drugs. Then she tells him that if he's stressed, that there are other ways of relieving it, while phasing her hand through the table to grab his pants. Fagin comments on this.
At the same moment Orwell and Hoffman are punishing a traitor to the Brotherhood. The traitor passes out and Hoffman asks Orwell about Mike and if Mike's powers will develop soon. Hoffman likes Mike and thinks he will be a good addition to the Brotherhood and is glad that they got to him before Xavier did. Orwell then telepathically starts about Magneto, but is cut short by Hoffman. At that moment the traitor is waking up again. He pleads innocence, but Hoffman tells him about Orwell's telepathy. He then takes a
knife and sets out to make an example of the traitor.
The next morning, Mikes awakes next to Marabeth and she asks him if it was his first time and if there was anyone he was thinking of doing it with. Mike tells her about Kary, but Marabeth tells him that she's only human. She's glad that Mike has found the Brotherhood and Hoffman is going to change the way the world treats mutants. She then talks about how the violence and terrorist propaganda that's shown on TV, isn't what the Brotherhood is about. It's about survival for mutants. They don't go to special schools, save the world, they just want to live. Mike is still not sure, but Marabeth tells him to be patient, Hoffman at least thinks that Mike has some power. She then turns to kiss him.
When Mike gets home, his mother tells him that dinner is in the oven. His father asks him where he has been and Mike says he stayed at a friend's and if they didn't get his message. His father asks which friend, but Mike says that it's nobody he would know. Mrs. Asher then tells her husband that his show is about to start and Mr. Asher asks Mike if he wants to watch: it's a interview of Dr. Ross Ludlum with some mutant expert. Mike then has an outburst and leaves. Mrs Asher asks her husband if he thinks Mike's on drugs, but Mr. Asher answers that is probably only hormones and that they should give him some
space.
Mr. Asher drives Mike to school to get a chance to talk and he offers Mike a chance to listen to him. Mike thanks him, but tells him that he has to work some things out by himself first. Carl Asher accepts this, but is worried that he might be on drugs. Mike then assures him that it certainly aren't drugs. Carl is relieved and tells him that they will talk later. When his father leaves, the school bully Joey tells Mike that he and Kary had sex last night. Enraged Mike attacks him, but Joey beats him up, until Fagin arrives. Joey
backs off. Asher tells Fagin to let go of him, but Fagin answers that Joey would beat him up. Asher asks him what the point then is if he is that powerful, but can't use his powers. Fagin tells him to fight the good fight and points out some red cross trucks. They are supposed to test for HIV but in reality they are testing for the X-factor. Asher says that he doesn't care.
When Mike is going to be tested, he notices D. and D. sneaking off. He runs away from the test to tell principal Cromwell about D and D, but he's stopped by some agents. They restrain him and want to take him to the truck for testing. Mike sees the teachers around him whispering to each other. Then he shouts out that he is a mutant, but that he's trying to tell them something and that he is trying to save their lives. He notices Fagin who is watching all this and he escapes. He hides in an office and phones his father. His father tells him that the school has phoned him and told him to come. Mike then desperately tries to tell his father not to come and that he is going to be late. He then hangs up and hears crying. He finds Kary who tells him that Joey used her. Mike tries to calm her and that they will tell someone to make Joey pay, but Kary is afraid her parents and the other kids will find out.
Hoffman and Orwell then enter and Hoffman talks to Mike about how in school they learn 99% crap, but the 1% percent of truth makes it all worthwhile. Hoffman asks Asher if he's ready to learn the lessons he learned today and to find out who he is and what he can do. Mike becomes angry and tells Hoffman that he has to stop D. and D. and that it would be a lot easier if Hoffman just told him what his power is. Kary is shocked to find out that Mike is a mutant and Hoffman tells Mike that another lesson presents itself. Soon Joey is talking to a friend about Asher and that he's hoping that Kary isn't a mutant too. Hoffman tells Joey to come to the principal's office. Mr. Asher arrives and Hoffman tells him to come also.
Elsewhere D and D have taken their weapons when they hear something strange. Mike is racing to find D and D and comes along a fire alarm. He rings it and ducks away in the men's room. There he finds Marabeth and Fagin standing over the burned bodies of D and D. Asher is furious at Fagin, but Marabeth tells him that she killed them. She can control the electric currents in her body and she did it to save him. Marabeth then asks him to come with her. Mike is hesitant, when Kary enters and is angry with him for being a mutant and never telling her. Asher wants to tell her that he just found out himself. Kary tells him to not touch her and is afraid that he used his powers on her, just like Joey used a drug on her. Joey then kicks Asher and tells him to get away from them. Hoffman and Mr. Asher enter. Mr. Asher is confused and asks Mike what is going on. Hoffman then tells him that they can change society so that they aren't feared and hated anymore just because they are different. But first they have to tear down the old society. Mr. Asher has no idea what's going on and Mike asks Hoffman what he wants. Hoffman is pleased that Mike
finally starts to ask the right questions and asks him in return what he thinks this is all about. Mike replies: "the blood test". Hoffman tells him that he was always one of them. Mr. Asher asks Hoffman who he is and treatens to call the police. Mike tells Fagin to back off when Fagin goes to Mr. Asher. At the same time, lightning bolts are coming out of Mike's body. Mike tells his father that they told him that he's a mutant and that he needs to find out if that is true. Hoffman brought them here so that Mike could chose between his old life and the Brotherhood. Mr. Asher asks about the blood tests. Hoffman says that they are identifying and cataloguing all the mutants they can find and that he's afraid that they might be doing more than that. Mike answers that it's America, they have rights. Hoffman then tells him about some of the nasty parts of history. Mike asks why him and Hoffman answers that it's because of his blood. He shows him Orwell and tells them that Orwell researches mutants to ascertain their powers. Mike has a natural defense mechanism. Mr.Asher tells Mike to come with him and that they will call the police. Hoffman says that the authorities are already searching for them and if they find him, that his cause will come to an end: they have blood samples, they have identified mutants. This doesn't seem important, but it's how genocide starts. He tells Mike to figh tback. Some troopers with guns, masks and red cross signs on their shoulders are entering the building. Mr. Asher begs Mike to come with him and that he will protect him. Hoffman tells Mr. Asher that he can't protect Mike, but that the Brotherhood can. Fagin and Marabeth try to convince Mike that coming with them is in the best interest of both him and his father. Carl Asher tries to convince Mike for the last time, but Mike tells his father that he loves him, but that Carl has to go. The power inside Asher is building and that he has to stop the government and what they are trying to do. Hoffman encourages Mike and Mike tells them to leave. He then removes the bandages from his arm and his blood drips to the floor. Some pictures of blood all around the school near agents and their vans. Then a huge explosion takes them all out. Mike walks out of the school and tells his father that his place is with the Brotherhood now. Hoffman welcomes him and Mikes tells his father he loves him. His father replies that he will always love him too.

The Heiress
Someone tells about how they moved into this house when she was just a baby after Daddy made his first real money and before her mother died. She hated it there and her father would tell her stories about bogies who came out to steal little girls away from their family. She tells how her father can be such a jerk and it would be tough to love him if he hadn't had all that money.
The panels show a house (the size of a small castle) and a guard that gets taken out. We see four persons standing over the body of a guard that seems to be already decomposing. The four persons are a man with black hair and a scar on his face, a woman with red hair, a pale man, dressed in black with long black hair and a man covered in tattoos. The thoughts of the narrating female go on: bogies don't exist and if they did, they don't affect people of her status and social standing. At the same time the man with the tattoos gets a sign from the scarred man and he flies or jumps over the wall to take out some heavily armed guards. He dropkicks one of them. Some guards with dogs attack the red haired woman, when two creatures spring from her body and claw their way through the dogs and guards. The woman herself hits a man, who falls down with a smoking wound. The thoughts of the unseen woman go on: according to her the poor and unfortunate need something to blame their woes upon and therefore they have religion superstitions, aliens, mutants and other monsters. She doesn't believe in anything that she can't see, touch or buy. That's why her therapist has her keeping this journal. Her therapist wants her to find her core beliefs. She doesn't see theuse of that. If she needs to find out who she is, she just has to shop and party. Her thoughts are interrupted by the noice downstairs (from the guards getting killed by the Brotherhood-strike force). The door to the mansion is kicked in by the scarred man with such force that the two guards behind it are knocked out or worse. While they climb the stairs, we get to know their names and their mission. They are here to capture the girl whose thoughts we were reading. The leader is called Bryson, the tattood man is Clive, the woman is Fiona and the pale man is Bela, a psionic vampire. Bela is still outside feeding on the guards. Fiona is worried about Bela's behaviour, but Bryson tells her that it's all a facade. When they enter the girl's room, she has already escaped.
The woman escapes in a car and thinks that the assailants are kidnappers that want to cash in on her dad's love for his only daughter. Fiona tells them that she's getting away and Bryson orders Clive to go after her. Fiona implies to Bryson that Clive is an amateur and Bela is a vampire wannabe. Bryson shouts to Clive that he should just stop her, they want her alive.
The woman, called Malon Reeves, calls her father on her mobile phone and tells him that people are trying to kidnap her, while remaining rather cool, until she notices a flying Clive in her rear mirror. Clive grabs the car, Malon tries to shake him, but Clive hangs on. Malon then hits the brakes and Clives flies over the car, she then runs over him with her car.
In the office of Malcolm Reeves, his connection with his daughter is broken. He tells Hughes to track her car (it has electronic device in the undercarriage), Fredericks has to prepare his helicopter and Mrs. Dunnerfield has to call Xavier. Mrs. Dunnerfield connects Reeves to Xavier and Reeves tells him that someone is trying to kidnap his daughter. He accuses Xavier of kidnapping her to get training at his school, but he wants her cured of her 'affliction'. Reeves then hears from Xavier about the Brotherhood.
Back at the road, the Brotherhood has found a car and are looking at Clive. Bela tells Clive that he is not going to make it. Clive tells them that he knew the risks when he signed on, he asks Bela to get Malon for him and then notices a shadow between the trees, which he identifies as the big man (Hoffman). He tells Bryson to tell him that he's sorry, but Bryson says the he already knows: he knows everything. Clive then tells that he feels Orwell in his skull and apoligizes to Orwell. Bela asks Clive if he's ready and Clive asks him to be quick. Bela then touches Clive and drains all his energy, leaving a withered husk of a corpse. Bryson has telepathic contact with Orwell and receives his orders. He nearly overloads Bryson's mind and then leaves. Bryson orders his crew to come along before Orwell turns them in to X.
Malon arrives in London and seeks sanctuary in the Clash Club, where her friends are. One of her friends offer her drugs, but Malon tells her friend Ian, that she needs help against her kidnappers, whom she describes as monsters. The Brotherhood enters and Malon‘s friends block their way, but Fiona and her monsters quickly make a way through them, while Bryson breaks Ian's jaw and Bela kills a woman while heading for Malon.
Outside Reeves‘ security team arrives and their leader tells them to shoot anyone questionable and let Reeves lawyers deal with all consequences. Behind the Club, Malon tries to get away but her path is blocked by Bela, who appears to be flying. The other end of the passage is blocked by Fiona and her
monsters. Bryson then tells her to come along nice and quietly, because they don't want to hurt her. Brysonis then shot in the head by the security team. The security team tells the others to stand still and Malon to come to them and that her father sent them. Bela comments that they made a big error. One of the guards wants to know why. Bela tells them that Bryson hates to be shot in the head. Bryson is indeed standing again and seems furious. Bryson, Fiona, her monsters and Bela quickly take out the guards. Bryson orders Bela to leave one alive to carry back their ransom demands. Fiona then closes in on Malon, who tells them that her father will pay anything. Fiona replies that Malon shouldn't pretend to be different from them. Malon refuses to accept that: according to her father and uncle Peri it was all a mistake, she isn't a mutant. She then treatens to use her powers against them. Bela closes in on her and grabs her,while wondering why Fiona's hags seem to keep their distance. Somehow Malon grabs Bela's hand and does something to it (hit it badly or even desintegrates it).She then hits one of Fiona's monsters in the chest and the creature dies. Fiona falls down in pain. Malon tells them that she isn't a mutant, but when she gets stressed things happen. Bryson gets tired and knocks her out. He tells Orwell to go home and tell Hoffman that she will be broken to do exactly what they want.
In America, Hoffman tells Asher and Fagin that Orwell has returned. Fagin doesn't seemed very pleased at the idea, but Hoffman tells him to show respect to Orwell. There is much more to him than meets the eye. Hoffman then tells Asher and Fagin to go to England to learn more about the inner workings of the Brotherhood.

Sublime Seduction
Malon is nearly drowned by Bela as revenge for destroying his left hand in the last issue. Fiona is watching without interfering. Bela then drags Malon to a coffin and wants to put her in and when she refuses, he threatens to use his moisture-draining powers on her. He is stopped by Bryson who scolds Bela. Malon isn’t there for revenge, Bryson asks Malon to enter the coffin, but inside she can still follow the argument between Bela and Bryson. Bryson tells Bela that Malon isn’t just a hostage, she is one of them and she deserves a chance to have her eyes opened.
Malon’s father, Dr. Reeves is using all his resources to find his daughter and he gets an unexpected ally, the mysterious operative that also appeared in the Brotherhood #2. Reeves wants him removed, but when the man hints to Malon being a mutant, he tells everybody else to go. The mysterious man tells him that he knows about Malon being a mutant and that Reeves is trying to find a cure for her. He then identifies himself as Marshal and says that he is with the government. Reeves then asks him which government. Marshal answers that he likes to keep his options open. He will help Reeves and in turn he will get the Brotherhood.
Malon is freed from the coffin by Bryson, who then feeds her. When Malon asks him why he is being nice to her, he tells her that he’s a soldier, not a monster. Torturing women isn’t the point of the operation.
Marshal is inspecting the scene of the crime, when he notices Bela lurking around. He and Bela obviously know each other and Bela attacks him, but is easily knocked out by Marshal. Reeves asks Marshal how he knew that they would come back and Marshal says that he knows the Brotherhood. He will also handle the interrogation. Bela wakes up and threatens Marshal, hinting that he will be revenged. Marshal then puts out his cigarette in Bela’s eye. He then turns around and says that there is another one around. Fiona, who is watching from the bushes, also recognizes Marshal.
Outside of Paris, Bryson takes Malon away, telling her that he had a change of heart. He wants to open her eyes. Malon wants to get out of the car, when Bryson tells her that her father is not the man she thinks he is. Outside Malon nearly faints and Bryson catches her. She asks Bryson to take her to her uncle Perot who runs a clinic in Paris. She then asks Bryson what he wanted to say about her father, but Bryson asks her several times if she really wants to know. He then decides to take her to her uncle Perot.
Marshal is torturing Bela, who has several wooden spikes in his body and he has to run on a conveyer belt to avoid being carried into a press. He questions Bela about X, the Brotherhood and Malon, but stops when several guards of Reeves carry Fiona inside.
In Paris, Bryson and Malon enter the clinic. Bryson then shows Malon that there are armed guards at the clinic and he takes them out. Inside they find dozens of tubes with dead mutants in them, failed experiments by her uncle in trying to cure her. Bryson shows her mutant embryos and tells her that her father funds this research. He is ashamed of what he is, his wife was and what Malon is. Malon runs away, confused, but then she finds her uncle. Malon asks her uncle if he has killed all those innocents. Perot tries to deny it, but Bryson enters. Bryson orders the patient, a pregnant woman, to leave, and then he orders Perot to tell Malon about her father being a mutant and how Perot’s failed experiments killed Malon’s mother.
Marshal tells Reeves that Bela is ready to talk, Fiona has died during the interrogation. He then throws Bela’s right hand on Reeves desk.
Malon and Bryson have left the hospital and Malon has used her powers to destroy the hospital, setting it on fire. Bryson then thanks Malon for opening his eyes too. Malon asks Bryson to take her back to the Brotherhood and after that she wants to see her father.
