Title:

X-Men: Black Sun (2000)

Synopsis:
First Spell: Skin the Cat
(The New X-Men)

Kitty Pryde is training in the Danger Room and receives a sub-par score against a N’Garai demon.

Her shower is interrupted by a courier, and she has to sign for a package. She does not bother to open it, and falls asleep, not noticing the face of one of her deadliest foes, Belasco, rise from the package.

Kitty awakes to find herself confronted by one of the lesser N’Garai, and fights it off, but soon realizes that there is more than just one. Leaving the mansion, she is confronted with a mountain of skulls, holding the moon up in front of her home. She is not alone, however, despite the amount of corpses around her. Five other X-Men join her: Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Banshee, and Sunfire.

The group retreat back to the mansion, where they devise a plan to close the cairns. The plan is actually a trap for Kitty, as the X-Men are revealed to be N’Garai and the spell enables them to truly take over the X-Men whom they pretended to be. Realizing that she’s in Limbo, Kitty is soon confronted by Belasco who tells her pretty much that this has been long coming. For him to open the gateways to his masters, all he needs are the souls of five X-Men and a catalyst stone, which he proceeds to pluck from Kitty’s soul.

After doing so, Belasco is soon confronted by the believed to be dead Magik, who battles him into retreat, and helps Kitty. The two women have no time for a happy reunion as they are soon confronted by another N’Garai demon.
