Copy !req
2. In our hands
lies the fate
of a billion star systems,
Copy !req
3. of lives beyond measure.
Copy !req
4. Do not fear, Lilandra.
The X-Men will do all in our
power
Copy !req
5. to help you safeguard the
crystal.
Copy !req
6. Get the crystal!
Copy !req
7. Fire, Raza!
Copy !req
8. Corsair!
Copy !req
9. Do you remember this?
Copy !req
10. The M'Kraan Crystal.
Name your price!
Copy !req
11. Show me the crystal!
Copy !req
12. I'm coming, Scott!
Copy !req
13. Start the ball, Cajun!
Copy !req
14. - Out of my way, woman.
- Get out of your own way!
Copy !req
15. - Thank you, Rogue.
- I enjoyed it.
Copy !req
16. Get ready to... D'Ken!
Copy !req
17. Unlock the power
of the M'Kraan...
Copy !req
18. No!
Copy !req
19. and make the galaxy mine!
Copy !req
20. You fools!
Your foolishness amuses me.
Copy !req
21. I do not understand.
Copy !req
22. What is happening?
Copy !req
23. D'Ken has been granted his
wish. He is one with
the crystal.
Copy !req
24. He is creating his own universe
inside the crystal,
Copy !req
25. where we all will soon be.
Copy !req
26. Ch'od, get the Starjammer
out of here. Now!
Copy !req
27. What is wrong, Captain?
Copy !req
28. We are ready to
board the Imperial cruiser
and retrieve you.
Copy !req
29. No! Full escape velocity
immediately.
That's an order.
Copy !req
30. You must join them.
Copy !req
31. I need time to see if the
power of the Phoenix can
contain the crystal.
Copy !req
32. But if it cannot, then nothing
in the galaxy can
protect any of us.
Copy !req
33. What can we do?
Copy !req
34. Nothing. It is what I must do.
Copy !req
35. Corsair! What is happening?
Copy !req
36. We are being given
a short time to consider
our fate
Copy !req
37. while someone attempts
to change it.
Copy !req
38. I must learn.
The crystal must be healed.
Copy !req
39. Can you show us what's
happening?
Copy !req
40. Ch'od, full magnification.
Copy !req
41. That is all we can do.
Soon, we will be out of range.
Copy !req
42. I am the guardian,
Copy !req
43. teach me to... No!
Copy !req
44. Who slam on the brakes?
Copy !req
45. Phoenix has failed.
Copy !req
46. We shall soon join my brother
inside the crystal.
Copy !req
47. How are you so blamed sure?
Copy !req
48. - She might still...
- Look!
Copy !req
49. Jean!
Copy !req
50. I got a real bad feeling
we're next.
Copy !req
51. Ch'od, open fire!
Copy !req
52. - What are you doing?
- Trying to live.
Copy !req
53. It has no effect.
Copy !req
54. Anybody else got any bright
ideas?
Copy !req
55. What's that?
Copy !req
56. And Cerebro reports
environmental disturbances
Copy !req
57. everywhere around the world.
I will do what I can.
Copy !req
58. As we all shall.
Copy !req
59. Professor Xavier! Professor!
The sun, it's, well, kind of
fading away!
Copy !req
60. I know, Jubilee.
Copy !req
61. We have discovered
a phenomenon much
like a black hole,
Copy !req
62. an enormous gravitational force
near the sun.
Copy !req
63. We must assume
it is the M'Kraan Crystal.
Copy !req
64. It is slowly drawing everything
into it,
even the sun's light.
Copy !req
65. Soon, it will absorb the sun
itself,
Copy !req
66. the entire solar system
including the Earth.
Copy !req
67. The rest of the galaxy
may well follow,
Copy !req
68. though, by that time, we shall
have long since ceased to care.
Copy !req
69. There's gotta be some way
to stop it!
Copy !req
70. There is one hope, the X-Men.
Copy !req
71. Maintain full power!
Don't give up!
Copy !req
72. I regret, my Empress,
Copy !req
73. that my service to you must
begin under such circumstances.
Copy !req
74. All is lost, Empress!
Copy !req
75. Hang on, chere. If this be
our last ride, we take it
together...
Copy !req
76. If this is death,
it's not so bad, huh?
Copy !req
77. Speak for yourself, Cajun.
Copy !req
78. Fascinating.
Copy !req
79. The legends
of the crystal are true.
Copy !req
80. But what of D'Ken?
Copy !req
81. D'KEN: What of D'Ken? He lives!
Copy !req
82. Show yourself!
Copy !req
83. D'KEN: You wish to see me?
Copy !req
84. Behold
the power of a living galaxy!
Copy !req
85. Soon, the universe
will tremble!
Copy !req
86. If we're not gonna make it out
of here, let's at least
shut this guy
Copy !req
87. Logan, stop it!
Copy !req
88. Perhaps another approach...
Copy !req
89. Maybe he likes to play catch.
Copy !req
90. You fools! None of you
understand.
Copy !req
91. Look out!
Copy !req
92. It has no effect, Empress!
Copy !req
93. Your pathetic efforts
gain you nothing.
Your weapons feed me.
Copy !req
94. The crystal will gain you
nothing. You are trapped
within it, as we are.
Copy !req
95. Its power will destroy you!
Copy !req
96. Destroy me?
The crystal is life.
I am reborn!
Copy !req
97. I need only think
of your destruction
and it shall be!
Copy !req
98. D'Ken, brother,
unless the crystal is sealed,
Copy !req
99. it will destroy the galaxy,
including the entire Shi'ar
empire.
Copy !req
100. We must join forces to stop it.
Copy !req
101. Stop it?
Copy !req
102. I hunger for it.
Copy !req
103. He hears nothing, Empress.
We are on our own.
Copy !req
104. Prepare to be destroyed,
creature!
Copy !req
105. You? Fight me? You insect!
Copy !req
106. Gotcha, big guy.
Copy !req
107. You see how easily
I defeat your protectors.
Copy !req
108. I tire of you, sister.
Copy !req
109. Empress!
Copy !req
110. I never thought I'd say it,
Logan,
but there's nothing we can do.
Copy !req
111. Everybody evacuate
to the shelter!
Copy !req
112. The immediate threat
to New York City
has been averted.
Copy !req
113. Well done, Storm!
- It is terrible, Professor.
Copy !req
114. It is as though
the Earth has gone mad.
Copy !req
115. Calm yourself, Storm.
You cannot be everywhere
at once.
Copy !req
116. Help where you can.
Copy !req
117. The disturbances will cease
if the X-Men are successful.
Copy !req
118. Fear what I have become,
sister?
Copy !req
119. Let the others watch
as I repay you for your
treachery in opposing me.
Copy !req
120. Do not despair.
Copy !req
121. The Phoenix survives.
Copy !req
122. No! Begone!
Copy !req
123. Fear not, Empress.
You are safe now.
Copy !req
124. Leave my world. I command it!
Copy !req
125. Lilandra's star
cruiser approaches.
Copy !req
126. I will teleport you all to the
ship, beyond the reach
of D'Ken's power.
Copy !req
127. No one is safe from my power!
I am one with the crystal.
Copy !req
128. The galaxy is mine to destroy.
Copy !req
129. The power has
destroyed you, D'Ken.
Copy !req
130. The galaxy
shall not share your fate.
Copy !req
131. - You're alive!
- Yes, my darling.
Copy !req
132. What about the crystal?
Can you truly stop its power?
Copy !req
133. We have learned of one way...
Copy !req
134. if my body can take it.
Copy !req
135. Jean was chosen
for her empathic abilities.
Copy !req
136. We have learned much
from the orb, the living
center of the crystal.
Copy !req
137. She felt its pain
where I could not.
Copy !req
138. I know now what must be done,
if I am strong enough.
Copy !req
139. We must try to join with
the matrix of the crystal's
energy field.
Copy !req
140. The power of Phoenix
may be able to restore
what D'Ken has broken.
Copy !req
141. You could be locked in here
forever!
Copy !req
142. Don't try to stop me, Scott.
Copy !req
143. I'm only doing
what must be done,
what any of the X-Men would do.
Copy !req
144. I'm coming with you.
Copy !req
145. You can't be a part
of where I'm going.
Copy !req
146. He knows, Jean. That
don't make it easy to take.
Copy !req
147. - Jean!
- Goodbye, my friends.
I love you all.
Copy !req
148. Goodbye, Scott!
Copy !req
149. Someone help me find a way.
Copy !req
150. Your wisdom. Your compassion.
Copy !req
151. Your gentleness.
Your innocence.
Copy !req
152. Your courage. Your love.
Copy !req
153. No! You cannot contain
the power of the crystal.
Copy !req
154. You cannot! No!
Copy !req
155. What does it mean, Professor?
Copy !req
156. The X-Men have succeeded.
Copy !req
157. The power of the crystal
has been contained.
Copy !req
158. But at what cost?
Copy !req
159. The crystal is sealed,
Copy !req
160. but the only way to guarantee
that its power
will never be released again
Copy !req
161. is for me to take it
beyond the reach
of any living being.
Copy !req
162. The crystal cannot
be destroyed,
even in the heart of the sun,
Copy !req
163. but there it,
and I, will be safe.
Copy !req
164. For this, I am sorry, Cyclops.
Copy !req
165. Goodbye, my love.
Copy !req
166. The crystal
shall be buried forever.
Copy !req
167. The light!
Copy !req
168. Oh, Scott,
if only you could see it.
Copy !req
169. Goodbye, Charles.
I shall never forget you
and the X-Men.
Copy !req
170. - Stay with us, Lilandra.
- I am Shi'ar Empress now.
Copy !req
171. I must return to my world
Copy !req
172. and try to set right
all the wrong my brother did.
Copy !req
173. Come with me, Charles.
Copy !req
174. Until there is peace between
mutants and ordinary humans,
I cannot leave.
Copy !req
175. We both have our work to do.
Copy !req
176. I'm sorry I tried to use you
against the Emperor, Cyclops.
Copy !req
177. Since I lost my wife,
I've lived only for my revenge.
Copy !req
178. None of us know how we'll react
when we lose someone we love.
Copy !req
179. I'll have to find
a new reason for living now.
Copy !req
180. So will I.
Copy !req
181. I'm proud to have known you
and the X-Men. Farewell.
Copy !req
182. I've lost Jean,
and Corsair lost his wife.
I wish we had a chance to talk.
Copy !req
183. I believe Emily Dickinson
said it best,
Copy !req
184. "Parting is all we know
of heaven
And all we need of hell"
Copy !req
185. There are some bonds
that cannot be broken,
Charles Xavier.
Copy !req
186. We shall meet again.
Copy !req
187. Jean.
Copy !req
188. Do you know
the legend of the Phoenix?
Copy !req
189. I'm not interested
in legends right now.
Copy !req
190. The Phoenix was a mythical bird
that was consumed by fire,
Copy !req
191. but always rose again
from the ashes.
Copy !req
192. Perhaps that's what
the Phoenix represents,
Copy !req
193. hope which never dies.
Copy !req
194. Please think about it, Cyclops.
Copy !req
195. Jean.
Copy !req
