Colossus is close to death as the police show up to arrest the X-Men for the destruction of the IBM building. The Starjammers arrive and whisk the X-Men out of their current mess.

The X-Men and Starjammers invade the living Brood ship and rescue Xavier and Lilandra but can't contact Chancellor Araki to tell him not to invade Earth.
