The team goes to Dallas in search of Storm, who had gone there to force Forge to restore her lost powers. They are confronted by Freedom Force, but old animosities are put aside when the fabric of reality rips and areas of Dallas transform into different locales and environments from past eras. Inside Eagle Plaza, Forge's building, the teams find themselves fighting demons in Vietnam, and must work together. Meanwhile, in another reality, Storm and Forge reunite and use technology and magic to first restore Storm's powers, and then to return to Earth. Upon arrival, however, they are captured by the Adversary, the evil entity who tricked Storm into nearly killing Forge before sending them into that other world. In Dallas, the X-Men, along with Madelyne Pryor and NPR reporter Neal Conan attempt to fly up to Roma's Starlight Citadel, now controlled by the Adversary. Using Longshot's luck and low body weight to help them navigate through the maelstrom surrounding the Citadel, the X-Men confront the Adversary and strip him of his human guise. Forge opens a magical portal to trap the Adversary, but the X-Men cannot push the entity through. Forge refuses to use a spell that could permanently contain the Adversary, and reveals his greatest secret and deepest shame: when he was a sergeant in Vietnam, his entire platoon was killed, and he opened a portal to a demon world, using the souls of his nine dead buddies and releasing demons and monsters onto the Viet Cong. To fully close that gateway and stop the Adversary from transforming the world would require nine life-forces, given freely. The X-Men and Madelyne allow Forge to use their souls to cast the spell, and, on national television, the X-Men die as the Adversary is defeated in a very pyrrhic victory. After Forge leaves, however, Roma reopens the portal and restores the X-Men, saying that the Adversary is part of the balance of nature and cannot ever be completely contained. The X-Men choose to return to Earth, but are invisible to all forms of detection except direct sight. The legend begins again.	Uncanny X-Men #225

X-Factor, transported by Apocalypse to his Ship, are pitted against The Four Horsemen and the High Lord himself. Apocalypse reveals his long and bloody past to the team, and asks for their allegiance, which of course, they refuse. Beast, touched by Pestilence, is growing stronger even as his intellect deteriorates as a result. Death is revealed to be Warren Worthington III, once the high-flying Angel. He has new techno-organic, razor-sharp wings, with feathers coated with a paralyzing neuro-toxin that he can throw, which he uses to subdue his old teammates. Caliban agrees to join Apocalypse in return for great power. Beast knocks off Iceman's containment belt, allowing him to free himself and the team. The Horsemen are attacking New York, and Cyclops and Jean Grey, who are thrown out of Ship by Apocalypse, try to stop them, with help from Power Pack. Meanwhile Beast has damaged Ship, whose cloaking device is disabled, and who is falling from the sky. Having defeated three of the Horsemen, Cyclops and Jean return to Ship. There they fight Death and try to remind him of his true personality and nature, but to no avail, until Death destroys a duplicate of Iceman. The shock of "killing" one of his closest friends allows Warren to break out of Apocalypse's brainwashing and rejoin his old allies. Apocalypse runs off with Caliban, leaving X-Factor in the crashing Ship. X-Factor manages to stabilize Ship enough to land it with no loss of life, and no property damage, except for their old headquarters. Upon exiting the Ship, X-Factor reveals to the world that they are mutants. Warren helps X-Factor clean up some of the damage, but refuses to rejoin the team. The city hails X-Factor as heroes and gives them a ticker-tape parade. They decide to use Ship as their new headquarters.	X-Factor #24
