Synopsis for "A Fire in the Sky!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
X-Men Annual #3

A quiet summer Sunday in Manhattan is shattered upon the appearance of Arkon the Magnificent. He has come to Earth to seek the aid of Thor and the Avengers once more, but when he visits the Avengers’ Mansion, their butler Jarvis informs Arkon that Thor is away on persona business. Without Thor, Arkon thinks all is lost. But then, he is suddenly contacted by his Grand Vizier in a vision, who suggests someone else that might be useful: The X-Man known as Storm.

Having survived their recent ordeal against Arcade, the X-Men are engaged in a Danger Room training session with the now-powerless Banshee running the controls. During the training session, Storm gets caught between two blasts of wind, causing her claustrophobia to kick in. Before they can shut the Danger Room down, Storm panics, unleashing the full fury of her powers, wrecking the control room and sending the Danger Room into utter chaos. The X-Men are saved from injury thanks to Cyclops's quick thinking, using his optic blast to hit the emergency shutoff. While the rest of the X-Men clean up the damage, Cyclops consoles Storm. She confesses that she is troubled by her new role as a superhero, which is vastly different than her old life as a "goddess" in Kenya.

Storm retreats to her room to spend time alone but is accosted by Arkon, who demands that she help him. Alarmed by his sudden appearance, Storm fires a lightning bolt and sends Arkon crashing down through the floor right in front of Cyclops and Banshee.

Cyclops’ optic blasts sends Arkon crashing through another wall and outside of the mansion, where all the X-Men attack him. During the fight, Arkon tosses one of his mystical thunderbolts at Storm, striking her and teleporting her away. The rest of the X-Men manage to fight Arkon to a stand-still and remove his quiver of thunderbolts. With Wolverine threatening him with his claws, Arkon is forced to show them how the thunderbolts work. They teleport away, leaving Banshee behind to contact the Avengers or Fantastic Four should they not return.

The X-Men and Arkon appear in the middle of his royal palace and see that Storm is nowhere to be found. They soon have to defend themselves against the Imperions of Arkon's world. When Nightcrawler spots the Grand Vizier making an escape, he follows as the other X-Men fight their way through the palace.

Nightcrawler follows the Vizier to another castle where Storm is being held. Upon hearing that Storm is willing to sacrifice her life to help these people, he tries to get the drop on them, and Storm accidentally attacks him.

Seeing the lightning bolt from the faraway palace, the other X-Men commandeer a flying beast and ride it to the castle. They find Storm there, but she refuses to leave. Arkon appears and explains to them that his world does not have sun and gets its light from an energy ring that encircles it. He explains how the Avengers once came and restored it with a device when the ring was failing. The ring is failing once again, and being unable to find Thor to restore the power in the device, he sought out Storm as a substitute.

Examining the device, the X-Men come up with a solution to repair the device: Wolverine and Nightcrawler repair its mechanisms, Storm channels her powers through Cyclops, super-charging him with energy, and then he blasts the device with his optic beams, giving it enough power to restore the energy ring around Arkon's world. The area of the device surronding the X-Men, however, explodes.

When Arkon's people inspect the wreckage, they find Arkon and the X-Men alive. With the artificial sunlight of their world restored, Arkon and his people revere the X-Men as heroes. Parting as friends, Arkon thanks the X-Men for their help and uses his thunderbolts to send them back home.

Synopsis for "Nights and Bolts"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Generation X #7

Sean “Banshee” has a nightmare from his past as an Interpol agent. Emma Frost appears in his dream, urging him to awaken. Emma reveals that she has been telepathically drawn into his dream due to their proximity as they currently live in the same house since the female dormitory got accidentally blown up by Jonothon “Chamber.” The same Jonothon broods over his powers and the incident with Paige (Husk). He remembers the first time his mutant powers manifested and the consequences. Paige apologizes to Jonothon for her actions and thanks him for taking the blame for the dorm incident. Jubilee spies on Paige, Jonothon, and Monet. Jubilee causes tension by later blabbing that Monet is looking at drawings made by a child.

Meanwhile, Angelo “Skin” and Everett “Synch” build a treehouse for new students Leech and Artie. Monet meditates with Gateway. Emma apologizes to Sean for past behavior. Shortly after, Sean receives an overseas call from a Ms. O’Brian. She wants Sean to return to Ireland because his estate “Cassidy Keep” has disappeared!

Synopsis for "Of Leather and Lace"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Generation X '95 #1

Cordelia Frost seeks out Shinobi Shaw to claim her sister Emma Frost's vacant position as the White Queen in the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle. She presents a captured mutant named Mondo as a gift to the club to prove her worthiness. However, before her request can be considered, their lair is attacked by shock troopers on the orders of a mysterious man named Barrington. Cordelia is puzzled that Shaw did not offer any resistance.

At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Jubilee and Penance enjoy a pool day until Penance has a seizure. Emma tries to help her telepathically, but then a visitor named Cordelia arrives, seeking Emma's assistance urgently.

While Mondo escapes from his captors and ends up at Boston harbor, Cordelia informs Emma that she and Mondo were en route to the school when they were attacked, resulting in Mondo's abduction. Emma, unable to read Cordelia's mind, has no choice but to believe her story. But she is very sceptic.

In Boston, Mondo eludes his pursuers using his morphing abilities. Generation X, led by Emma, arrives in time to engage the shock troopers in a battle.

At the school, Chamber watches over Penance, who is comatose, probably due to Emplate's influence. Moira MacTaggert suggests bringing Penance to Muir Island, but Banshee hesitates. He is torn because Moira is infected with the Legacy Virus. But Moira has accepted her fate and both expresses their love for each other.

Back in Boston, Generation X rescues Mondo from the troopers. It is decided that Mondo will stay at the school, but Emma wants Cordelia to leave. Mondo, though, still supports Cordelia, expressing his trust and support for her, even after her role in his kidnapping. Cordelia leaves, not willing to abandon her big plans.
