"Into the Void"
The X-Men arrive at a star base in the Shi'Ar empire as they have to slip onto the base. They find only one survivor and the cause of the destruction throughout the Empire, the Phalanx. The only survivor is the outcast Regent to the throne, Deathbird. Meanwhile back on Earth, Sam informs the remaining X-Men that the other part of the team has been transported away by Gladiator.
