Title:
X-Men
Synopsis:
"The Magneto War Part 3: Disturbing Behavior"
The Acolytes are protected by their shields from the nuclear wash, but Scanner and Neophyte worry about the X-Men down below. Unbeknownst to the Acolytes, Xavier used his powers to telepathically make Cargill extend the ship’s shields in secret to protect his team. He then mentally coerces the Acolytes, including the sympathetic Scanner, to attack his X-Men in a ploy to leave their ship unguarded. The plan works, but Katu stays behind, as he is unaffected by the telepathy due to his cybernetic system. The X-Men eventually beat the Acolytes, and Shadowcat sneaks into the ship to defeat Katu. With the ship secure, the team heads to confront Magneto at his Polar Tower. However, Astra and Joseph have already arrived, and Astra tells Joseph that today is the day he will fulfil his destiny to destroy Magneto. Astra confronts Magneto alone and finds the man still hooked up to his amplifier. The two argue with each other over their tense past. After the exchange of words, in which Astra learns Magneto allowed Joseph to live so he could hide and finalize his current plans without distraction, Astra attacks Magneto and destroys his device. The magnetic energy goes out of control and threatens to destroy the atmosphere, but Magneto absorbs it all, as he has no other choice. He is about to kill Astra when he is attacked by Joseph. Meanwhile, Alda Huxley arrives at the United Nations and tells the delegates that she has an alternative to using more nukes – but they must be willing to sacrifice something.
