" CHILD OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS / WHEN DREAMS ARE DUST "
(APARECIDA ORIGINALMENTE EN X-MEN #136 AGO/1980)
Continued from last issue...
Following the Dark Phoenix destroying the D'Bari system, Empress
Lilandra of the Shi'ar meets with a galactic council on the threat that
the Phoenix poses to the universe. The decision is unanimous in light of
the evidence: the Phoenix must be destroyed. While on Earth, the
Phoenix's presence does not go unnoticed, and receiving a warning from
Dr. Peter Corbeau, the President of the Untied States attempts to
contact the Avengers to find that only their butler Edwin Jarvis is
present. When Jarvis terminates the call with the President, he notes
that it was the Beast's turn to stay behind on monitor duty and wonders
where he could have went.
The Beast is with his old comrades the X-Men, preparing for the
Dark Phoenix's return by building a synaptic scrambler device to prevent
Jean from using her powers. As Cyclops struggles to come to terms with
what's become of Jean, Storm tries to console him. While down below in
the Danger Room, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Colossus attempt to blow
off some steam in the Danger Room. They all come to agree that they must
destroy Jean if they must, however their foremost duty will be to try
and save her.
The Dark Phoenix meanwhile returns to her parents home at
Annadale-On-Hudson and wakes up her parents and younger sister Sarah.
Finding their thoughts impossible to keep out of her head, Jean attempts
to keep her anger in check. However, she cannot and shows her family
her powers by changing a houseplant into crystal. Noticing a fog outside
Dark Phoenix realizes that the X-Men have found her and rushes out to
meet them. Nightcrawler teleports behind her and places the synaptic
scrambler on her head. Although this causes her great pain and limits
her abilities, she is still able to hold her own against the X-Men's
combined assault on her. When Wolverine gets close enough to her, she
begs him to kill her with is claws, but Wolverine falters long enough
for Phoenix's dark side to reassert control and blast him away. Having
overheated the scrambler, Dark Phoenix removes it and locks the X-Men in
stasis.
She begins to torture them mentally until she is confronted by
Cyclops who tries to convince her to stop fighting and almost has her
won over when Professor X arrives and attacks her mentally. This causes
her to flip back to her evil persona and attack Charles directly. The
two lock in mental combat and after a match of wits, Charles Xavier
manages to use his mental powers to force the Dark Phoenix persona deep
into Jean's mind restoring their sanity. Although the X-Men have a
heartfelt moment now that Jean is back they all wonder how long her
sanity will last. When John Grey and his family approaches Xavier to
demand answers, they are shocked when the X-Men are all suddenly
teleported away.
