Stories

  • Torn Part Six · 23 pages

    Cyclops, having shot "Emma" in the head, continues to shoot the Hellfire Club members, exposing them as mental projections, except for Cassandra Nova who is more persistent. Blindfold restores Beast's personality with a special ball of string he created. Ord and Danger invade the mansion, fighting Hisako and dragging her into the main fight. Cyclops talks Shadowcat down from killing Emma, Ord and Danger break through, and then S.W.O.R.D. teleports the X-Men, Hisako, Ord and Danger onto their ship and flies away with them all. Blindfold prophesies that one of the X-Men will not return.
