Brief Description:
The Fantastic Four become embroiled in a local event, an alien Shi’ar woman firing her gun wildly on the streets of New York. Actually, she is being followed by invisible Badoon warriors, who kill her and take the three male members of the Fantastic Four prisoner. Only the Invisible Girl manages to save herself and follows the Shi’ar woman’s words to contact the X-Men. At the same time, Storm has been having nightmares about the X-Men helping their friend Arkon against the Badoon. When the Invisible Girl tells them her story and that Lilandra and Arkon are threatened by Badoon, the X-Men decide to help. They teleport to Arkon’s world, which is in the Badoon’s hands as they learn from their ally Sashia. Cyclops quickly formulates a plan. Storm and Sue are to infiltrate the citadel, Cyclops, Colossus and Kitty are their back-up and Sashia, Wolverine and Nightcrawler take out the Badoon’s stargate. Sue and Ororo mange to infiltrate the citadel but, when Sue sees her husband being tortured, she blows their cover and she and Storm attack. Cyclops’ group comes to help but they quickly face the Monster of Badoon, which seemingly takes out Colossus. However, the young Russian proves resilient and quickly rejoins the others. In the meantime, the other group has taken out the Stargate though the effort nearly cost Nightcrawler his life. Seeing that there is no hope for them, the Badoon’s Brother Royal switches on a self destruction automaton, but Reed Richards’ genius prevents the destruction of the planet. Once the heroes have won, the Grand Vizier saves Nightcrawler’s life. During the victory party, Storm and Arkon discuss their feelings. While they have deep feelings for each other, neither of them can bear to leave their people behind, so their love isn’t to be.
