Dr. Doom has captured Arcade. In response, Miss Locke kidnaps the X-Men's loved ones in order to compel them to help rescue her boss. Xavier calls in Havok, Polaris and Iceman to assist. Storm, Wolvie, Colossus, Angel and Nightcrawler try to infiltrate Castle Doom (well, the temporary Castle Doom in upstate New York) while the rest head off to Murderworld. Storm is wined and dined by Victor while her comrades fight their way in. Arcade joins them, more as a guest than a prisoner. When Doom is attacked, he encases Storm in metal and then turns his attention on the rest of the team.

Wolvie, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Angel each escape from the deadly trap set for them by Dr. Doom.

Her friends are able to talk her down and return her to normal. Dr. Doom, creep that he is, hits on Storm and she, surprisingly, doesn't completely shoot him down.

While the X-Men try to figure out a way to bring Xavier out of his coma, he is re-living an old adventure in his head where he met Gabrielle Haller and he and Magneto battled Baron Strucker for Nazi gold. This snaps Charles out of his coma and there is much rejoicing. The X-Men travel to Lilandra's ship to attend a farewell banquet but Deathbird spoils the fun by transporting them all to a Brood ship.
