Jean Grey and Storm decide to take a trip into Nightcrawler's head to find out why he's so withdrawn and tortured, and immediately find themselves in Winzeldorf, Germany - the land of Kurt Wagner called home when Professor X discovered him so long ago. He's being chased by a mob of people angry about mutants, and as he flees them, crumbles the mind facade and takes Jean and Storm down with it.. Meanwhile we see the team on Weirdworld dealing with a newly discovered Sunspot, who's been protecting a group of mutants with constant waves of fire. Magik leaps and tries to attack him for his one alliance to Cyclops, but is stopped by her brother Colossus. Their skirmish is interpreted however by millions of ghost like apparitions hurling towards them.
Back in X-Haven, Storm and Jean find themselves disoriented and on a pirate ship in Nightcrawler's mind. It overturns and they fall towards a giant Cyclops. Jean grabs Storm and they hold on. Back in Weirdworld, Illyana senses the presence of an evil wizard who is responsible for the ghosts. She runs him through with her soulsword and the wizard ominously tells her of the falling kingdoms, and that not even the new mutant they found in India will be able to save them.
Jean and Storm find themselves witnessing a scene in Nightcrawler's recent past. One where he helps some young mutants who are bring terrorized by some kind of local militia. He intervenes to save them, but they sadly reveal to him a giant pit of corpses... All seemingly mutants appearing to have been executed.
Back in the real world, they comfort a very sad Night crawler. And as they share a group embrace, their mournful expressions appear to show rise to a renewed resolve to rise above.
