Highlights: The X-Men and Forge battle sorcery that is trying to take on their human forms.

Synopsis: After battling the Dire Wraith's in Forge's home Storm, Colossus and Rogue think they have won when suddenly they are attacked by some sort of shadow demons. Unable to fight them on their own, Xavier sends Nightcrawler to pick up Amanda in order for her to use her magic against the shadow beings. Although Amanda is powerful, she is not enough to battle the beings on her own and Colossus' little sister Illyana is sent in as well to battle the shadow beings. Still unable  to defeat the foul sorcery, Storm realizes that one of the Dire Wraith's must still be alive up on the roof. Forge forces Nightcrawler to transport him up to the roof, where he kills the remaining Wraith, bringing an end to the battle. Afterwards Nightcrawler calls a meeting of the X-Men, stating that he has decided that the dream of Mutant and Human peace is no longer worthwhile to him. Rachel, who is eavesdropping interrupts them violently, stating that the dream is not all for nothing and gives the X-Men a glimpse into her future, causing Nightcrawler to rethink his position on the matter dramatically.
