Magneto takes Dorma and the Invisible Girl hostage. Lucy Robinson, Angel & the Professor (in astral form) free Havok from the Promise's suspended animation, but Lorna's hibernation pod is damaged in the process. Havok heads to Manhattan to help fight Magneto, and attacks some invading Atlantean troops. A panicked mob attacks Havok, thinking him in league with the Sub-Mariner. The X-Men continue to fight the Mole Man, but are defeated. Angel searches for the X-Men, but is stopped by Pixie and Ikaris of the Eternals.
