(APARECIDA ORIGINALMENTE EN X-MEN #134 JUNIO/1980)
JOHN BYRNE (LÁPICES), TERRY AUSTIN (TINTA)
Continued from last issue...
Cyclops has nearly been killed in psychic combat with Mastermind
inside Jean's telepathic report she shared with Cyclops. As the Hellfire
Club gloats over this victory, Jean looks on in worry. Before the
Hellfire Club can do anything else, Wolverine bursts through the door
tossing off guards as he goes. Sebastian Shaw orders Jean to attack
Wolverine, which she does, however while the others are focusing on that
she uses her telekinetic powers to unlock the ruby quartz helmet on
Cyclops's head. Scott knocks out Donald Pierce before using his optic
blast to free his fellow X-Men and blast Henry Leland.
Jean stops her fight and tells Wolverine to go join the others,
Logan goes after Leland to get revenge for his earlier defeat. Cyclops
defeats Shaw by blasting out the ground out from under him, and Donald
Pierce manages to escape when Colossus foolishly tries to stop him in
his human form. Witnessing the battle, Mastermind decides to use his
illusionary powers to hide out and see what happens. As Wolverine dives
down to the lower level of the Hellfire Club to attack his foe, Leland
makes the stupid mistake of using his mass increasing powers on
Wolverine causing him to land heavily on Leland with his claws out. As
Sebastian Shaw tries to flee through the club, he is attacked by
Nightcrawler and Storm.
The disturbance at the Hellfire Club does not go unnoticed, as
the authorities are called in an alert also goes in at nearby Avengers
Mansion where the Beast is on monitor duty. Reading about how his former
friends in the X-Men involved in the commotion, he erases record of the
emergency call and goes to help his old comrades.
Back at the club, Colossus catches up to Donald Pierce and gets
in an arm wrestle with him. Colossus's strength proves better and he
breaks Pierce's mechanical arm, however Pierce shocks Colossus in the
face with his severed appendage and flees the scene. While else where in
the club, Nightcrawler and Storm try their best to defeat Sebastian
Shaw in battle, however he escapes as well. Meeting up with Pierce in
one of the clubs many secret tunnels, he tells his comrade that he will
make the X-Men pay for this. Upstairs Cyclops tries to calm the party
goers, however Mastermind uses his powers to make them think that he is
attacking them. Just then, the power cables that Wolverine slashed
earlier in the night
connect with the rising rainwater causing the power to go out in the
club. Cyclops runs into Wolverine in the dark and tells him to gather
the other X-Men while he goes looking for Jean.
Jean meanwhile, giving into the darkness in her soul tracks down
Mastermind and pins him to the wall. She finds on him a device created
by the White Queen that allowed him to beam his illusions directly into
her mind. She is darkly amused, but destroys the device and then gives
Mastermind what he wanted: control of cosmic power. Opening up his mind
to the vastness of the universe Jean causes Mastermind to enter a
catatonic state and leaves him. She runs into Scott and although she
feels strange she accompanies him and the other X-Men as they flee to
their ship parked in Central Park. Watching them go from the window,
Shaw vows to ruin the X-Men's public image and turn them into public
enemy number one.
The X-Men load up into their plane and take off just as the
authorities begin to arrive. Jean, finally unable to contain herself,
gives in to her darkside. Changing her costume into a crimson version of
her Phoenix outfit, and announces that she is no longer the woman they
knew, but power incarnate. Suddenly, the X-Men's ship explodes.
