The X-Men battle Mr. Sinister on the psychic plane. Maddie's mind merges with Jean Grey's and fights for dominance. The X-Men hunt Sinister and the Marauders to his base of operations, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The X-Men attempt to separate Malice and Polaris but Sinister teleports them out and knocks them unconscious with only Longshot standing in the way of his victory.
