In the Egyptian desert, the X-Men battle the Living Pharaoh and his men. The Pharaoh takes off with Alex and siphons off his mutant powers to turn himself into the Living Monolith. As the X-Men battle the Monolith, Alex turns the tables by taking back his power and more, stopping the Monolith and destroying the ancient temple where he has been trapped. Alex warns his friends to stay away as he has no control over the destructive powers coursing through his body.

(cameos); Z'Nox (introduction, villains); Changeling [Kevin Sidney] (cameo flashback)
The X-Men make it back to the mansion after their harrowing battle with Magneto only to be commanded inside by Alex and Lorna. They learn that earth is about to be attacked by the alien Z'Nox but a plan has been made to counter the invasion--a plan formulated by none other than the "dead" Professor X. Xavier returns to his charges and explains that Changeling was masquerading as him when he was killed. The X-Men board the Z'Nox space ship and attack but it is the collective power of happy thoughts funneled through Xavier into his students that ultimately drives the aliens off.
