Title:
X-Men
Synopsis:
"Storm Front Part 1"
Storm explains her history with her adoptive mother, Ainet, and why she must go to Kenya to save her. Psylocke arrives and uses her shadow slipping powers to take herself, Storm, Wolverine, Maggott, Cecilia, Cannonball, and Marrow to Kenya, where Psylocke and Wolverine are quickly separated from the others. After an ambush by sand warriors, Wolverine disappeared, leaving Psylocke alone. In the empty village, Cannonball disappears, only to reawake in the Kentucky mine where his dad died in. However, his dad’s reanimated corpse is still there and aims to kill Cannonball for leaving the family. The other X-Men find the villagers, who are under some trance, when suddenly the spider trickster god, Ananasi, shows up with Ainet, who is also under his thrall. Ananasi claims to want Storm as his bride and quickly sends the souls of Maggott, Marrow, and Cecilia elsewhere, where Marrow finds her bone growths gone and Maggott finds himself free of Eany and Meany. Ananasi shows them a feral Wolverine chained like a dog and offers them a proposition. Storm battles Ananasi and is aided by Psylocke, who reveals that the “god” is a telepath. In the Psionic Plane, the two women find the villagers’ minds set up in a distinct patter. Before they can discern the reasoning, Ananasi attacks Psylocke and brings up her past failures and how she was always considered a redundant Jean Grey-wannabe. Ainet finds Storm and tells her the truth, but Ananasi buries Storm under bones of her dead friends before she can tell Betsy the truth. Psylocke falls into Ananasi’s trap and accidentally hits one of the villagers, which causes a reaction that cripples the entire psionic plan, as well as all psi-sensitive in the corporeal world. Psylocke is left as a discombobulated mess, as Ananasi reveals himself to be the Shadow King, now free of any opposition on the Psionic Plane!
