Synopsis:
On the far off world of Hykon, Xavier encounters the Lifecode, a being who makes the rules of combat for the Knights of Hykon. From her, he learns that the Knights engage in games of combat all over the universe that end up wrecking the worlds they choose as battlegrounds. The X-Men lure the Knights back to their citadel where their displacement fields are nullified. Now on even ground, the X-Men battle the Knights of Hykon and even Xavier joins the fight. Lilandra destroys the Lifecode and the X-Men return to Earth, marooning the Knights forever on their home planet.
