1. Previously onX-Men...
Copy !req
2. I've come for
the Princess Lilandra.
Copy !req
3. She's still a bit
under the weather,
Copy !req
4. but you didn't specify
what condition
she had to be in.
Copy !req
5. Tell me where
the M'Kraan Crystal is.
Copy !req
6. You must
save Lilandra.
Copy !req
7. Our job
is to find Lilandra
and get out fast.
Copy !req
8. Anybody know
what she looks like?
Copy !req
9. She's from
another galaxy.
Copy !req
10. You see a woman
you don't know,
rescue her.
Copy !req
11. Forget these freaks!
Copy !req
12. We must get Lilandra
to my ship.
Copy !req
13. No!
Copy !req
14. Let Lilandra go.
Copy !req
15. Gladiator!
Copy !req
16. I have Lilandra.
Copy !req
17. But where is
the M'Kraan Crystal?
Copy !req
18. Why do you serve
a madman
like my brother?
Copy !req
19. Take her
with my respects
to the Emperor.
Copy !req
20. I am sorry, Princess,
but you must give
your brother the crystal.
Copy !req
21. No! For the sake
of the universe, no!
Copy !req
22. Phoenix must go!
Copy !req
23. Lilandra is under
my protection.
Copy !req
24. Learn the power
of Phoenix.
Copy !req
25. Are you the child
of the crystal?
Copy !req
26. Yes.
Copy !req
27. You must help me
to keep the crystal
Copy !req
28. from falling into
the hands of my brother,
the Emperor!
Copy !req
29. The crystal is here.
I can feel its power.
Copy !req
30. Do not fear, Lilandra.
The X-Men
will do all in our power
Copy !req
31. to help you safeguard
the crystal.
Copy !req
32. But I must return
to my ship at once,
Copy !req
33. and my transporter
is not strong enough
to bring you with me.
Copy !req
34. I am.
Copy !req
35. Funny,
you don't look it.
Copy !req
36. This body is young
and strong.
It recovers quickly.
Copy !req
37. A ship!
Copy !req
38. It isn't
your brother, Lilandra.
It is a friend.
Copy !req
39. Where's Jean?
Copy !req
40. Searching the skies.
Copy !req
41. She's all right, Cyke.
Best I can tell.
Copy !req
42. Jean? Jean?
Copy !req
43. It is good that you
are here. Help me
to prepare the others.
Copy !req
44. - For what?
- For the battle
to save the galaxy.
Copy !req
45. I can help!
Just tell me how!
Copy !req
46. I will tell you
what I can.
Copy !req
47. But there is much
I do not know,
Copy !req
48. and there is much
I must do alone.
Copy !req
49. I was heartened
to discover
that you were not
Copy !req
50. a figment of the Professor's
unbridled imagination.
Copy !req
51. I am anxious
to learn more
about your people.
Copy !req
52. Looks like you'll
get your chance.
Copy !req
53. Listen up, people.
Copy !req
54. Jean has
something to say.
Copy !req
55. In our hands
lies the fate
Copy !req
56. of a billion star systems,
of lives beyond measure.
Copy !req
57. Just what
I wanted to hear.
Copy !req
58. It is time to go.
Copy !req
59. Farewell.
Copy !req
60. Jean! You must not
leave me behind!
Copy !req
61. It's no use,
Professor.
Copy !req
62. The way she said goodbye,
it's like they're
not coming back, ever.
Copy !req
63. Next time
I'll take the bus.
Copy !req
64. - I've got you!
Copy !req
65. No, I'll be all right.
Copy !req
66. Thanks to you,
we have arrived
before my brother.
Copy !req
67. That's what
all the fuss
is about?
Copy !req
68. How you fit
a whole galaxy
in there?
Copy !req
69. Its faceted configuration
gives the crystal
Copy !req
70. infinite storage capacity
for refracted light energy.
Copy !req
71. I knew
there had to be
a simple explanation.
Copy !req
72. You like it, chere?
I'll get you one
for Christmas.
Copy !req
73. We must move quickly
to safeguard the crystal.
Copy !req
74. Take evasive action!
Copy !req
75. Who knocked?
Copy !req
76. It was some sort
of stun ray.
Copy !req
77. Lilandra's out colder
than a leftover
hush puppy.
Copy !req
78. The ray may have been
specifically attuned
to Shi'ar life forms.
Copy !req
79. Aliens, Corsair!
Ugly ones, too!
Copy !req
80. Who are you calling ugly,
lizard lips?
Copy !req
81. Get the crystal!
Copy !req
82. Interesting weaponry.
Copy !req
83. Effective, too.
Copy !req
84. There ain't hardly room
to swing a cat in here!
Copy !req
85. These are not
the Emperor's troops.
Copy !req
86. They are intergalactic
pirates who call
themselves the Starjammers.
Copy !req
87. Pirates? Where do
they keep their swords
and eye patches?
Copy !req
88. - Raza!
- Aye, captain.
Copy !req
89. Re-calibrate
the stun ray for humans!
Copy !req
90. But, Captain...
Copy !req
91. Just do it!
Copy !req
92. Surrender,
or I'll fire!
Copy !req
93. No, Scott!
You can't!
Copy !req
94. What?
Fire, Raza!
Copy !req
95. Come, Hepzibah.
Copy !req
96. Who turned out
the lights again? Jean.
Copy !req
97. They took
the crystal, Logan.
Copy !req
98. They took Scott, too.
Copy !req
99. Jean, why did you
stop Cyke when he was
about to blast that joker?
Copy !req
100. I can't tell you.
Copy !req
101. That he's Scott's father.
Copy !req
102. Why have you taken him,
my captain?
As a hostage?
Copy !req
103. No, Raza.
Not a hostage.
Copy !req
104. He's a weapon.
The last one
we'll ever need.
Copy !req
105. Identify yourself.
Copy !req
106. Scout ship of Imperial Agent
Davan Shakari, Majesty.
Copy !req
107. Code name
Eric the Red.
Copy !req
108. He wishes permission
to report to you.
Copy !req
109. Shakari, I ordered you
to intercept Lilandra
Copy !req
110. and recover
the M'Kraan Crystal.
Copy !req
111. Why have you not done
as I commanded?
Copy !req
112. You say a group
of pathetic Earth creatures
defeated you?
Copy !req
113. You, an Imperial
Shi'ar agent? Fool!
Copy !req
114. Gladiator, tell me
what has happened.
Copy !req
115. My lord, is it not
said that the crystal
is protected
Copy !req
116. by a guardian of
immense power?
Copy !req
117. The Phoenix
is only a legend.
Copy !req
118. My lord,
I have seen her.
Copy !req
119. Corsair!
Impudent rebel dog!
Copy !req
120. Pirate traitor!
Copy !req
121. I'm glad you haven't
forgotten me, D'Ken.
Copy !req
122. Do you remember this?
Copy !req
123. The M'Kraan Crystal.
Name your price, thief!
Copy !req
124. I know you'd give
everything you've got
to get your hands on it,
Copy !req
125. but I'm only asking half.
Copy !req
126. Half the
Imperial treasury.
Copy !req
127. My lord,
he insults you!
Copy !req
128. Silence!
By the sacred ancestors
of the Shi'ar,
Copy !req
129. I agree to your price.
Copy !req
130. I'll bring you the crystal
and a present
for your amusement.
Copy !req
131. One of the Earth creatures
who've been helping Lilandra.
Copy !req
132. Though your forces failed,
I was able to deal with them.
Copy !req
133. Gladiator.
Copy !req
134. Yes, my Emperor?
Copy !req
135. As soon as
the crystal
is mine,
Copy !req
136. you will destroy Corsair
and his Starjammers.
Copy !req
137. But, my lord,
you swore
the Sacred Oath!
Copy !req
138. You will do it!
Copy !req
139. Yes, my Emperor.
Copy !req
140. Imperial Guards,
your Emperor honors us
by sending us against
Copy !req
141. the rebel Starjammers
in battle.
Copy !req
142. The leader Corsair will
be taken and destroyed.
Copy !req
143. The Emperor and I
had a friendly chat.
Copy !req
144. What are you to him?
Copy !req
145. A festering wound
in his side.
Copy !req
146. He calls me
a pirate and worse.
Copy !req
147. I think he's right.
Copy !req
148. Perhaps.
Copy !req
149. But today,
I'm D'Ken's best friend.
Copy !req
150. Today I'm selling him
the M'Kraan Crystal.
Copy !req
151. You can't do that!
Don't you know
that if that madman
Copy !req
152. unleashes the power
of the crystal,
Copy !req
153. it could destroy
the entire galaxy?
Copy !req
154. D'Ken will never
touch the crystal,
Copy !req
155. because you are going
to end his miserable existence.
Copy !req
156. The only way I can
get close to D'Ken
is to offer him the crystal.
Copy !req
157. Why are you so determined
to destroy him?
Copy !req
158. D'Ken has destroyed
millions in his quest
for power.
Copy !req
159. One of those millions
was my wife.
Copy !req
160. Does he know
what he's done
to you?
Copy !req
161. He knows.
Copy !req
162. Then he'll expect
an attack.
Copy !req
163. From me, yes.
But not from you,
a helpless prisoner.
Copy !req
164. You should have one
clear shot from your eyes
at full strength.
Copy !req
165. I won't take a life
in cold blood.
Copy !req
166. If D'Ken lives
and gets his hands
on the crystal,
Copy !req
167. and eventually he will,
billions of lives
will be lost.
Copy !req
168. Is your sense of honor
worth so much?
Copy !req
169. Is one woman's life important
enough to risk the fate
of an entire galaxy?
Copy !req
170. It was to me.
Copy !req
171. The Starjammeris too fast.
We cannot overtake it.
Copy !req
172. Fascinating.
Copy !req
173. Hey!
Copy !req
174. How can we fight something
we can't catch?
Copy !req
175. Don't worry, we'll fight
little green men
soon enough.
Copy !req
176. You must transport us
to the Starjammer,
Copy !req
177. just as
you brought us here.
Copy !req
178. I'm still weak,
but be patient.
I will recover.
Copy !req
179. Each time I use my powers,
I grow stronger.
Copy !req
180. The time has come.
Will you help me
destroy the Emperor?
Copy !req
181. You know that, for the sake
of the galaxy,
I have no choice.
Copy !req
182. If we fail,
get the Starjammer
to safety.
Copy !req
183. We shall not
abandon you,
Corsair.
Copy !req
184. As long as I'm captain
of this ship,
you'll carry out my orders.
Copy !req
185. If we fail,
someone has to
carry on the fight.
Copy !req
186. I come
from your planet.
Copy !req
187. How is that
possible?
Copy !req
188. That's a long story.
Copy !req
189. We're so close to Earth now.
I would've liked
to have seen it again.
Copy !req
190. Do you have
any children?
Copy !req
191. No.
Copy !req
192. I wouldn't know mine
now if I saw them.
Copy !req
193. Except I remember
my oldest boy.
He had his mother's eyes.
Copy !req
194. If I can contact Cyclops
telepathically,
Copy !req
195. I can use the mind-link
like a homing beacon.
Copy !req
196. Emperor, the prisoner
is the leader
of the X-Men.
Copy !req
197. So? Such a pathetic
creature is of
no interest to me.
Copy !req
198. Scott, Scott.
Copy !req
199. Scott.
Copy !req
200. It's Jean!
Copy !req
201. He's on D'Ken's ship.
Copy !req
202. I'm coming, Scott!
Copy !req
203. The crystal is here.
I can feel its power. Corsair!
Show me the crystal!
Copy !req
204. It is mine!
The greatest power
in the universe.
Copy !req
205. Do it now!
Copy !req
206. Imperial Guards!
Copy !req
207. It is the Phoenix!
Copy !req
208. D'Ken! You've
lived too long!
Copy !req
209. Jean!
Copy !req
210. Corsair, you fool.
Copy !req
211. A shape-shifter!
Copy !req
212. Destroy them all!
Copy !req
213. Start the ball,
Cajun!
Copy !req
214. X-Men!
Get the crystal!
Copy !req
215. Drop it, bub,
or I'll drop you!
Copy !req
216. Out of my way,
woman.
Copy !req
217. Get out of
your own way!
Copy !req
218. Thank you, Rogue.
Copy !req
219. I enjoyed it.
Copy !req
220. Gladiator!
Cut off their retreat!
Copy !req
221. Everyone! Head for
the Starjammer!
Copy !req
222. Let's move it!
Copy !req
223. The bigger
they are...
Copy !req
224. Help!
Copy !req
225. What's cooking?
Copy !req
226. Come, my friend!
Copy !req
227. Stop fooling around,
Gambit! We gotta go!
Copy !req
228. "Our safety is our speed."
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Copy !req
229. I'll help you, Beast!
Copy !req
230. It was the thought
that counted.
Copy !req
231. I got it, Beast.
Copy !req
232. Is that everyone?
Copy !req
233. It is now.
Copy !req
234. Scott!
Copy !req
235. Let's go!
Copy !req
236. You don't have to
tell me twice!
Copy !req
237. Corsair to Starjammer.
Get ready to... D'Ken!
Copy !req
238. One false move, X-Men,
and Gladiator
will crush Lilandra!
Copy !req
239. No, Logan.
It's up to me now.
Copy !req
240. In the name
of Sharra and K'ythri,
Copy !req
241. and the sacred ancestors
of the Shi'ar...
Copy !req
242. D'Ken! No!
Copy !req
243. I call upon
the nine dying stars, and
the world that has no name!
Copy !req
244. Stop!
Copy !req
245. I am the guardian
of the crystal.
Copy !req
246. Unlock the power
of the M'Kraan
and make the galaxy mine!
Copy !req
247. You are too late!
Copy !req
248. I was not yet
strong enough
to stop him.
Copy !req
249. It has begun.
By opening a breach
in the crystal,
Copy !req
250. D'Ken has unleashed
the power of
the negative galaxy inside.
Copy !req
251. You mean
it might get out?
Copy !req
252. I mean we
and everything
we know
Copy !req
253. may soon be pulled in.
Copy !req
