Story Title: Loose Ends: The First FourSaken conclusion
By: Tony Bedard
Artists: Roger Cruz & Victor Olazaba
Synopsis: Psylocke wakes up in a strange world, separated from her fellow X-Men. She meets the First Fallen, a winged man who explains that they are in a place called the Singing City, and it is a place of peace and salvation. The other X-Men are having an argument elsewhere with the FourSaken, who explain that this perfect world is what they were trying to achieve for Earth. They all soon discover that their powers do not work. The First Fallen doesn’t allow violence on his world. Betsy becomes suspicious about the whole scenario, noticing that the people who populate the Singing City, aliens from different planet all, number no more than four. Despite the others having no powers, Betsy still manages to summon her psi-sword, and she demands answers from the First Fallen. He admits that only the FourSaken will be accepted into his world, and the same goes for all the other races. All other people on their worlds are redundant, though the memory of their worlds will remain in those that survive. Betsy attacks him, plunging her psi-sword into his brain. This snaps the people out of their enforced bliss, and also brings the original personality of the First Fallen to the fore. Everyone’s powers return, and Rachel uses her telepathy to determine that the man they see is actually a king. He was taken over by a strange essence many years ago that sought perfection. Since then, it has plundered many worlds in that pursuit. The king asks to die, rather than have this force take him over again, and Ned gladly obliges. However, this releases the force from Betsy’s grasp, and it prepares to take its revenge. Betsy wants to handle the situation, but Jamie takes over, returning the X-Men, the remaining FourSaken and Betsy back to Earth, while he deals with the force himself. Back on Earth, helpless to return, the X-Men realize that Jamie has sacrificed himself to save the world, and they really appreciate it. Bishop then receives a call from Storm who is in Kenya. She has a situation that she needs help in handling, and the X-Men agree to come to her assistance.
