For too long have I been content to rule an isolated kingdom at the edge of the world! Now, Sauron--
And Sssstegron...
Yes, and Stegron. Now we saurians shall retake our rightful place as rulers of the Earth! The time has come to reassert reptilian dominance, wrongly usurped by your warm-blooded treachery! Welcome to our newest colony! Welcome to New Savage Island!
Hold up, is this Staten Island?! (Maybe I do wish we were in the Savage Land after all.)

Synopsis for 1st story
Spider-Man and the X-Men battle and defeat Unus the Untouchable. Afterward, Spider-Man relocates to Krakoa to become a guest professor at the Jean Grey School. Following Wolverine's death, Ororo found papers about inviting Spider-Man to teach to a new special class composed of the past students Ernst and No-Girl, but also Hellion, Rockslide, Shark-Girl, Glob Herman and Eye Boy, all considered to be "most likely to turn super villain" kids, but in fact as a way to find a mole working against the school. The students in Spider-Man's class refuse to show him any respect, and he eventually moves their lesson in the Danger Room, during which Rockslide pushes him into a robot who tries to crush him. Spider-Man criticizes Rockslide for his actions and privately suspects him of being the mole. He then takes his class on a field trip to a museum. Suddenly, Stegron and Sauron appear and the heroes are defeated in the ensuing battle. They wake up to find themselves the captives of Sauron and Stegron and gaze at Staten Island, which had been transformed into the New Savage Land.
