Do it!

Oh, dear.

You wish me to return to the cold nothingness of space?

You wish me to give up the body?

Never!

There is a power beyond good and evil. The power to create and

the power to destroy.

Jean!

Can you hear me?

Jean Grey can hear nothing.

Speak only to the phoenix.

Jean, fight it.

Use the powers of your mind.

Remember what we mean to each other.

Jean, please, don't leave me.

Scott, Scott, help me. Enough!

You are of no use to me.

Duck. I hate duck.

Gambit can't help but notice you saved him, Shell. And not Wolverine.

Must be my way with women.

Don't flatter yourself, Swamp Boy.

Little people but vice -cajun.

Never make that woman mad at you.

Speaking of mood swings.

What's bugging the phoenix?

She used to be on our side.

I fear Xavier's intuition has proved prescient.

Through Jean's keen human senses, the phoenix has experienced exhilarating new

sensations and emotions.

I doubt she wants to give them up. Why not ask her? Better act or she'll die.

Your destiny is at its end, X -Men. The dark phoenix has come to destroy you

all!

Defend yourself.

But remember, Jean is up there with her. Be careful.

I fall upon the power of the hurricane.

Hang on, sugar.

Do you really think your puny powers

mean anything to me?

Forgive me, Jean.

This is too easy. You provide me only annoyance and frustration.

The power of lightning!

Why does the body excite when I must struggle to get at them?

Get away from her, you wit!

A sensational lesson when the opponent is weak.

Cyclops, now!

Fool, do you think I need eyes to see, ears to hear?

Shouldn't have done that, gal.

Let's see how cocky you are once I've drained off some of your power.

Stop it.

Is this all you can do against me?

This is too easy.

Give her back!

Why do you care about this body?

I love her.

Love? I do not understand. Your answer is unacceptable.

Scott!

What have I done?

I love you, Scott.

No matter what the... future holds I will always love you never forget

Like reading the Luke, as if I didn't already know.

Nothing, Captain.

The Dabari star system is as devoid of life as the others. It seems such a

waste. An entire universe out there waiting to be discovered.

And we're asked to map dead star systems.

Who knows? Maybe one day we shall find something.

What is it?

What's happening?

I don't know.

What was that?

Comet? No.

It is alive.

It just plunged into the sun. Surely it cannot have survived.

According to my readings, Captain, the creature is still alive. Not only alive,

but feeding.

Feeding? On a star?

Engine room.

Pull forward.

Now.

All engines stop!

Why are we stopping?

Get us out of here!

No. That thing, whatever it is, just destroyed an entire star system.

If those planets had been inhabited, billions of innocent beings would have

wiped out. We must destroy that creature before it feeds again.

Hey, Luke.

Where is the creature now?

Gone.

Just gone.

Connect me with the Empress.

No. Do not pursue.

Return to me now.

Gladiator. Yes, my Empress.

Assemble the Imperial Guard immediately and make ready the Imperial Star

Cruiser. What has happened, my Empress?

Our worst nightmare.

I'm afraid Jean Grey no longer exists.

When she first inhabited Jean's body, we were thankful.

Jean helped her protect us from the Emkron crystal.

But now Jean has been overwhelmed by the alien force within her. As long as Jean

is alive, we can't stop trying. Of course, Scott. But we must also be

with ourselves about the depth of the problem. Unless the Phoenix agrees to

leave Jean's body, I see no way to save our friend.

Professor,

she's coming back.

You're coming back!

How do you know the Phoenix is returning?

Jean is returning.

Our psychic rapport is still functioning. We will do everything in

protect Jean.

But at the same time, we must do all we can to defeat the Phoenix within her, or

our world will not survive.

How do you beat something that can melt you in a split second?

That's it!

What's it?

Why hasn't the Phoenix melted us?

How should I know?

Because Gene has at least some control over the creature.

That means there's still hope of reaching her.

Ah, yes.

It's mine. The inner circle controlled the Phoenix Gene entity, at least for a

time, by attacking its most vulnerable spot.

But Beast, it's Gene's mind.

I do not propose to harm her mind.

Only disable it.

A mnemonic scrambling device would temporarily prevent her from forming

thought. That could cause the creature to leave her.

My thoughts exactly.

How could I have not seen it? All those weeks we worked to make Jean whole again

simply made her the perfect host.

Phoenix, why do you still inhabit Jean's body? Your work is done.

You do her harm by remaining.

One mnemonic scrambler, made to order.

Now, to find a suitable test subject.

Volunteers?

What is it? It's Jean.

I feel her presence.

Where? Here? No.

Somewhere near.

A place from her past.

A place full of emotional memories.

Mom, Dad, I'm home.

Mom?

Dad?

Mom? Are you here?

Prometheus!

Prometheus, it's me, Jean!

Forgive me, Sheila. This is the only way.

Boo!

Why ain't that brain buster working?

Patience, Rogue.

It should take effect momentarily.

Gene, my friend, do not reject our help.

Let your mind... I have no friends.

Oh, what is this? Can't be X -Men day?

Her mind is more powerful than anything I could imagine.

He has overloaded the scrambler's circuitry.

We knew it would come to this.

Gotta end it.

Logan? Jean?

Do it.

Quickly, while I still have control.

Stop her now.

I can't!

Please, if you truly love me, don't let her...

You should have destroyed me if you hadn't.

What a pity, B.

I've ruined your little toy.

Now we'll play on my terms.

Let them go, Jean.

Jean Grey no longer exists.

I know you're there, Jean.

I can still feel you.

You cannot destroy your friends.

Don't be so sure.

I love you, Jean. We all love you. And you love us.

You love me.

Nothing will ever change that.

God?

God, I... Jean!

I'm sorry, Scott, but I had to attack her mind while she was distracted.

As long as I've got her back safe and... I only stunned her. The creature inside

her must be destroyed now, quickly.

No! Now, before she... Recover?

You're too late.

And as for you... You? Everyone told

Jean Grey that the greatest joy a teacher has is to be surpassed by his

pupil. Enjoy!

Stop! I won't allow you to enter my... In

the battlefield of the mind, my will shall

prevail. Do you really think your puny mind is a match for mine?

If you want to use the power of the phoenix to bind the Emkron crystal, I

bind the phoenix with the power of... The

conceit

of you humans! The abracons!

If you can... hear me? Help me. Help me. Help me.

This can't be.

I am Phoenix.

I now bind up Phoenix with the power of my mind.

Professor, will she be all right?

Jeannie, the phoenix is contained for now.

I could never have defeated the phoenix if Jean herself had not helped me. The

strength of her mind is truly awesome.

Hi, four -eyes. Hi yourself, tiger.

We got company.

It's pure.

Greetings, Charles.

Lelandra, what is the matter?

Why didn't you alert me telepathically?

Charles Xavier, it is the decision of the High Council of the Shi 'ar Empire

that the being known both as the Phoenix and as Jean Grey must be destroyed.

Lelandra, stop this!

For the sake of all that lives, Jean Grey must perish.
