Description
Angel awakes to find he’s been rescued by Ka-Zar and Zabu. Together, they work on a plan to help Angel’s fellow X-Men and Ka-Zar’s lover, Shanna, all of whom are imprisoned by Sauron. Angel is to divert Sauron, while Ka-Zar will then secretly enter the citadel. In the citadel, the X-Men are repeatedly subjected to being devolved and re-evolved at which point Sauron absorbs their mutant energies. He has just done that to Storm, when he sees and gives chase to Angel. Ignoring Sauron’s orders, Brainchild has Storm brought to his quarters, intending to force her to become his mistress. Storm refuses but, before brainchild can call the guards, he is attacked by Ka-Zar and Zabu. Together with Storm, they free the other X-Men, just before Sauron returns. Combining their powers, the X-Men exhaust him to the point where he once again becomes Karl Lykos. Karl begs them to kill him but the X-Men tell him that Xavier is trying to find a cure. A few weeks later, Xavier has indeed managed to implement a cure and Lykos and Tanya can finally be together.
