Synopsis for "Down the Rabbit Hole"
After being sucked into the void, the X-Men are teleported to another world, which is torn by war, but are all separated. Unfortunately, the void continues to grow and threatens to suck in the entire Earth. Colossus and Jean are surrounded by rebel forces, who mistake Colossus for their ancient savior, who is the only one who can close the portal. While Jean and Colossus are taken back to the rebel camp, Archangel finds himself aiding some civil guards against the rebels. However, Archangel’s metal wings take control on him and he kills the rebels. Archangel snaps out of his trance and is horrified to learn what happened. He is taken back to the civil guard base and meets their leader, Sha-Har-A-Zath, leader of the Triumvirate. Before Archangel can object, Sha-Har-A-Zath makes him leader of her forces and prepares him for the final battle against the rebels. Storm is found by a mysterious man, who sneaks her into the rebel base upon hearing her story and the story of the savior’s return. Once there, the man confronts Colossus and reveals that he is his brother, the long-lost and thought dead Mikhail Rasputin! Meanwhile on Earth, Bishop and the others continue to kill the criminals from the future and they also swear to prevent their horrible future from ever occurring.
