drugs to an adult, so he flies off in disgust. He has a moral crisis about right
and wrong.

tries to escape again, and Philip has Michael use his power to un-heal her as
punishment. Warren burst in through the window and is defeated by Philip's
telepathy. Beth, also a telepath, fells Philip.

brawl, which becomes a revolution when Lev and Seera convince the Dualers to
rebel against the Chosen.
	Scott and the Beginagains learn of Christopher's whereabouts from a science
robot and free him and Jean. Scott's presence helps Jean to suppress the
personalities of Phoenix and Madelyn Pryor and regain her sanity. They together
destroy the city's power supply, letting the Rejects in the arena attack the
Chosen.
	Dykon is blinded by Palik and then forces him to remove his and Warren's
blindness, enabling Warren to defeat Rask.
	The Celestial called Arishem descends from the sky, ready to destroy the
planet with the formula of destruction on his thumb. Ship appears, to warn
X-Factor that they should leave immediately, but they only give Christopher into
its care. Jean wants to help save this world, to make up for the world that
Phoenix destroyed.
	Ryest, Palik, and Zharkah unite the Beginagains, Chosen, and Rejects against
the Celestials to save their planet. Jean melds all their minds together but is
afraid that by holding so much power she will be corrupted by Phoenix, so Scott
acts as her focus. His optic blast in the shape of a phoenix cuts off Arishem's
hand. The Celestials depart, leaving behind another Ship to record the progress
of this world.
	Jean had fed Phoenix and Madelyn into that blast as well, so she is now free
of them, except for the memories.
	X-Factor return to their Ship, and in hyperspace pass by the ship containing
Lilandra and a very ill Xavier.
	In his base below Mt. Everest, Apocalypse forces Loki to reveal himself,
battles him, and drives him off with the help of an enhanced Caliban.
