Synopsis for "Resurrection!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
X-Men Annual #12
Having detected an attack on the very Earth itself, Storm flies away from the X-Men's headquarters in Australia, almost pulling Longshot into the sky in the tail-wind, if not for the fast thinking of Dazzler who saves his life. Rogue shoots off after Storm to follow her while Madelyne and the other X-Men track her with their base's equipment. Pinpointing Storm's trajectory to Antarctica, Logan realizes that Storm is heading toward the Savage Land. In order to meet Storm there, Logan and the other X-Men gear up and have Gateway teleport them there.

Upon their arrival, the X-Men are shocked to see that the Savage Land has been decimated and is nothing more than a barren frozen wasteland[1]. Finding a bone, Logan has Longshot use his psychometric powers to learn what happened and he relates a story how an alien creature known as Terminus was responsible for the land's destruction that seemingly killed everyone in the area. Hearing this, Colossus becomes upset that a woman -- a member of the Fall People -- to whom he had made love when the X-Men first traveled to the Savage Land[2] might be dead. When Psylocke begins scanning for signs of life, the X-Men are suddenly shaken by a sudden earthquake.

Elsewhere in this frozen wasteland is the High Evolutionary, who has come across a sample of Sarcodes Sanguinea, proving his theory that the former Savage Land is not truly barren and that life can once more thrive here. He is suddenly attacked by what appears to be Terminus, who bursts from the ground and grabs the High Evolutionary in his massive hand. Seeing "Terminus" rise from the ground, the X-Men come to the High Evolutionary's aid, but none of their attacks have any effect on the creature except for Wolverine's Adamantium claws. However, even they cause little damage and the armor's self-repair systems instantly fixes what damage was done. When Storm and Rogue arrive, Storm realizes that "Terminus" is the reason she was drawn to the Savage Land and unleashes the full fury of the winds to knock him into the side of a mountain, burying him in rubble while Rogue rescues Wolverine, Longshot and the High Evolutionary from the giant alien.

With the battle over, the High Evolutionary explains that he has come to attempt to restore the Savage Land to its former splendor and the X-Men agree to try and aid him, sending Havok along with the Evolutionary while the X-Men keep an eye on Terminus. Longshot meanwhile wanders off and when he slips on a patch of ice he is shocked when he suddenly passes through some invisible portal. When Alex arrives with the High Evolutionary at the temporary base he has set up in the area, he is surprised to learn that the Evolutionary's interests stem around evolution and that he has focused much of his life to get all species to reach their true potential. Seeing a photograph of his Knights of Wundagore makes Alex consider that the Evolutionary is not all that different from Professor Xavier and his formation of the X-Men. He is then introduced to the Evolutionary's assistant in attempting to restore the Savage Land, Zala. Alex finds her striking and wonders if he has not met her someplace before. As they begin discussing how to restore the Savage Land, the High Evolutionary tells Havok that a living being, preferably a mutant, whose primal nature was in sync with the land's, would be the focus-catalyst needed to trigger the land's restoration. Havok reveals that he knows of only one person that could succeed in the task but, so far as he knows, that person is dead.

Back out in the wasteland, Dazzler realizes that Longshot is missing and decides to go looking for him, with Wolverine (weary of Dazzler's love-sick nature regarding Longshot) tagging along while Storm, Rogue, Colossus, and Psylocke go to keep an eye on Terminus. When Logan's tracking of Longshot's scent leads him through the invisible portal, Dazzler screams when she witnesses Logan suddenly disappear. While not far away, Storm notices that her Cameo crystal is glowing and races back to find Dazzler, ordering Rogue and Psylocke to stay and keep an eye on Terminus. When Colossus and Storm catch up to Dazzler, Storm raises her Cameo crystal and a portal suddenly opens and the massive form of the Warhound C'Jime emerges from the portal. Before Colossus can attack, Storm explains that she met this creature during their first visit to the Savage Land[3]. The X-Men are surprised that a number of beings from the Savage Land survived, rescued by Storm's friend M'Rin and brought to her dimension.

Colossus is happy to be reunited with Nereel, who also survived. She has a son named Peter but she discreetly reminds Longshot that he promised to not reveal that Colossus is the boy's father. Just then, Terminus revives, and as Rogue attempts to pull Psylocke away, they are knocked out of the sky. With Storm staggering their foe with a lightning bolt, everyone gets into the ship on C'Jime's back and the giant beast attacks Terminus with its advanced weapons, but they have no effect on Terminus. During the course of the battle, Havok and the High Evolutionary return with a plan. Quickly implementing it, Rogue uses her powers to absorb Longshot's luck powers.

With them, Rogue flies toward Terminus's faceplate, smashing and revealing their enemy is not Terminus after all, but Garokk, hooked up to the machine, under its influence and believing himself to be Terminus. As Rogue begins absorbing Garokk's power, weakening him, Wolverine and Havok attack to disable the robot's self-repair systems. Once that's done, Dazzler fires a full strength photon blast at the back of the robot's head, blasting through it with enough force to propel Garokk out of his seat in the head and into the air where Storm catches him. Deprived of Garokk's life-force, its sole source of power, the robot collapses and falls apart into flaming rubble.

Free from the machine's influence, Garokk has no memory of what has happened to him since he last faced the X-Men and is shocked to see what has happened to his land. When told that the Savage Land had been laid waste by Terminus, Garokk wonders if he was the destroyer, but is quickly reassured that it was another who wore the accursed armor, leading Havok to realize that, if the last guy wasn't Terminus and neither was Garokk, then the real Terminus must still be on the loose.

When Colossus asks Nereel about her son's father, she doesn't tell him the truth, telling him that the man is gone and she will raise the boy on her own. Garokk agrees to help the High Evolutionary restore the Savage Land and, at the High Evolutionary's citadel, it is determined that Garokk would have to sacrifice his life in order to restore the Savage Land to its glory. Garokk, having cheated death many times and having enough love for his land to sacrifice his life for it, agrees to do so. As the X-Men oversee the operation, the Savage Land Mutates (led by Zala, who is really Zaladane) watch eagerly, seeing this as playing into their hands and the first step to their goal of conquering the world. The High Evolutionary is aware of this and he secretly plots to foil this plan as he activates the device that converts Garokkk into pure energy that restores the Savage Land to its glory, restoring the vast tropical forest and its prehistoric wildlife.

The X-Men then help the survivors of the Savage Land rebuild. However, before leaving, Storm has Psylocke alter their memories so that they do not fully remember who helped them. Some time later, after the X-Men have left, Ka-Zar and his family return to the Savage Land and are surprised to see that the survivors have formed together as the United Tribes and have created a banner given to them by their saviors. When Ka-Zar and Shanna ask who helped them, all Nereel can tell them is that their saviors were legends.
