Title:
X-Factor (1986)
Synopsis:
X-Cutioner’s Song, Part 10: One of These Days…Pow! Zoom!

Wolverine informs Storm, Havok, Iceman, Beast, Archangel, Polaris, Valerie Cooper, and Psylocke that Cyclops and Jean Grey are on the moon. Wolverine explains how he came to this conclusion.

A desperate Jean Grey and Cyclops slowly crawl across the lunar floor, blood pouring from their noses and mouths as they have no oxygen. Stryfe then appears and throws a force field bubble around them.

Wolverine announces that he, Bishop, and Cable are heading to the moon. Storm tells him not to, that she wants them to leave Graymalkin and return to the Mansion. Cable isn’t keen on that, however, and plans to get to the moon. Havok and Storm discuss the situation before selecting their team to go into space - the two of them, Polaris, Archangel, Iceman, Psylocke, and Cannonball.

Back on the moon, Stryfe continues to spout off cryptic messages to Cyclops and Jean, who begin to run out of air inside the bubble.

At the Mansion, Valerie, Storm, Havok, Beast, and Archangel confront Apocalypse, who has promised he can help the dying Professor. Multiple Man informs Havok that he has lost contact with the dupe at the hospital who was keeping an eye on the X-Patriots. Moira MacTaggert is cautious of Apocalypse’s ability to help the Professor. Apocalypse then uses a strange device to extract the techno-organic virus, but it appears that Apocalypse may be destroying Xavier once and for all.

On the moon, Stryfe tells Cyclops and Jean that all they have to do to save their own lives is beg him to save them - but they don’t. Stryfe removes his helmet, revealing his face, but Cyclops and Jean have passed out.

Bored inside Graymalkin, Wolverine, Cable, and Bishop decide to ignore Storm’s order and go to the moon.

Back at the Mansion, a small techno-organic bug crawls from Xavier’s body, and Apocalypse crushes it. He explains that he accelerated the virus’s growth beyond the point where it could replicate itself properly. The TO virus found him to be somewhat unpalatable, so it could not transfer to him. Storm thanks Apocalypse, who announces that he can take them to the moon.

At that moment, Cable, Wolverine, and Bishop arrive and are met by the Dark Riders and the many human foot soldiers of the Mutant Liberation Front.

At a hospital, the Multiple Man dupe wakes, while the X-Patriots are long gone.
