1. Previously onX-Men...
Copy !req
2. Your plan is reaching
fruition, my lord.
Copy !req
3. Soon the Savage Land
will be cleansed of
all disbelievers,
Copy !req
4. and the Age of Garokk
will begin anew.
Copy !req
5. I know you must absorb
mutant life-energy
Copy !req
6. to retain your
powers as Sauron.
Copy !req
7. The time has come.
Copy !req
8. It's mutant energy. No!
Copy !req
9. Free again!
Copy !req
10. Look into my eyes,
wind rider.
Copy !req
11. Deep within
this weather witch
lies untold power.
Copy !req
12. Release
the weather witch.
Copy !req
13. Garokk's will be done!
Copy !req
14. Rage, winds,
your mistress craves more!
Copy !req
15. Storm's out of her mind!
Copy !req
16. It's Sauron's doing.
Copy !req
17. His hypnotic powers have
taken away her self-control.
Copy !req
18. Rain, lightning, thunder,
your power is mine!
Copy !req
19. Come to me.
Copy !req
20. How do we stop her?
Copy !req
21. If Jubilee of the jungle
can take down Sauron,
Copy !req
22. then Storm
should be a snap.
Copy !req
23. Jubilee, stop!
Where do you think
you're going?
Copy !req
24. Let the primal forces
of nature
Copy !req
25. continue to be unleashed!
Copy !req
26. Foolish child. Be gone!
Copy !req
27. Hey! Help!
Copy !req
28. Jubilee of the jungle.
Copy !req
29. By your command,
I have released
the weather witch.
Copy !req
30. I feel myself
growing stronger.
Copy !req
31. It is what I have
awaited for centuries.
Copy !req
32. Her elemental power surges
throughout the Savage Land,
Copy !req
33. feeding me.
Copy !req
34. No! No!
Copy !req
35. Yes.
Copy !req
36. It has begun.
Copy !req
37. All right, Lykos.
What did you do to make
Storm wig out like this?
Copy !req
38. I did nothing.
Copy !req
39. Sauron took away
her control.
Copy !req
40. His powers of suggestion
are far beyond those
of normal hypnosis.
Copy !req
41. I can
vouch for that.
Copy !req
42. Has Storm added
earthquakes to her
meteorological repertoire?
Copy !req
43. This ain't
no earthquake.
Copy !req
44. Stampede!
Copy !req
45. This way!
Copy !req
46. Boy, that
rush hour traffic's
murder, isn't it?
Copy !req
47. If your friend continues,
I fear for my people's lives
and ours as well.
Copy !req
48. We must discover
a way to calm her,
Copy !req
49. so we might have time
to undo Sauron's
ruinous influence.
Copy !req
50. You wanna ask her
to roll up her sleeve?
Copy !req
51. Y'all keep her distracted
while I absorb her powers.
Copy !req
52. That'll slow her
down long enough.
Copy !req
53. And have you messing up
the weather from here
to Barbados?
Copy !req
54. I don't think so.
Copy !req
55. It appears
we are caught between
Scylla and Charybdis,
Copy !req
56. the proverbial rock
and a hard place.
Copy !req
57. I can do it.
Fly me close enough
Copy !req
58. and I can
absorb her energy.
Copy !req
59. And become Sauron again?
No way!
Copy !req
60. Do you think
I want to?
Copy !req
61. He's a monster.
I hate all that he is.
Copy !req
62. I believe him.
Copy !req
63. Had he wished to regain
Sauron's form,
Copy !req
64. he could have used
any one of us.
Copy !req
65. Please, I beg you.
Copy !req
66. Allow me to set right
the evil Sauron has started.
Copy !req
67. Our fighting Sauron
is preferable to this.
Copy !req
68. I fear we have
no other choice.
Copy !req
69. Hail! Ice! Rage on!
Copy !req
70. Careful!
We just wanna
get her attention.
Copy !req
71. With this wind,
it's a wonder we can
get them airborne.
Copy !req
72. Winds, do not
let them stop me!
Copy !req
73. Come on. Keep her busy
just a little longer.
Copy !req
74. No!
Copy !req
75. They did it!
Copy !req
76. Lykos, release her before
you transform completely!
Copy !req
77. Never!
Must have more.
Copy !req
78. Got you.
Copy !req
79. Sauron lives once more!
Copy !req
80. Okay, bubba.
Copy !req
81. Are you gonna help us
fix up Storm or am I gonna
have to take you out?
Copy !req
82. Uh-uh.
Copy !req
83. I wouldn't touch me
if I were you.
Copy !req
84. This is not over,
outlander.
Copy !req
85. What happened up there?
Copy !req
86. It was real weird.
Copy !req
87. I think our absorbing powers
canceled each other out.
Copy !req
88. Let us bring them
back to the village.
Copy !req
89. How's she doing?
Copy !req
90. I've given her
a mild sedative.
Copy !req
91. It should prevent her
from regaining
full consciousness
Copy !req
92. and creating another
maelstrom, for a time.
Copy !req
93. The Professor told me
how hard Storm works
Copy !req
94. to keep her powers
under control.
Copy !req
95. And I thought
my powers were a pain.
Copy !req
96. When you and Sauron
connected, were you able
to read his thoughts?
Copy !req
97. One word kept popping
in and out of my head,
"Zaladane."
Copy !req
98. She has proclaimed herself
the High Priestess of Garokk.
Copy !req
99. I wonder...
Copy !req
100. Don't worry, Storm,
we'll take care
of Sauron for you.
Copy !req
101. Not Sauron.
Something else.
Copy !req
102. Something very wrong.
Copy !req
103. I sense nature
out of balance.
Copy !req
104. An evil within the land
must be purged.
Copy !req
105. This evil
must be destroyed!
Copy !req
106. Stay back!
Copy !req
107. Come on, sugar.
Let's get you
back to bed.
Copy !req
108. I said stay back!
Copy !req
109. Storm,
what are you doing?
Hold on.
Copy !req
110. Let me go!
Copy !req
111. Quit struggling.
Copy !req
112. Quickly. Constrain her.
Copy !req
113. Crisis contained.
Copy !req
114. Zaladane, rally my troops.
Copy !req
115. The invaders must pay
for their insolence.
Copy !req
116. Are you deaf, woman?
I order you.
Copy !req
117. No.
Copy !req
118. You refuse me?
Copy !req
119. Lord Garokk has decreed
you have outlived
your usefulness.
Copy !req
120. Lord Garokk is nothing
but a lifeless stone.
Copy !req
121. Perhaps you need
some persuasion.
Copy !req
122. What sorcery is this?
Copy !req
123. This stone
is not as lifeless
as it appears, Sauron.
Copy !req
124. You do not exist.
Copy !req
125. Ah, but as you
can see, I do.
Copy !req
126. In a bygone era,
I alone ruled this land
Copy !req
127. until a powerful enemy
defeated me,
Copy !req
128. calming the raging elements
of the Savage Land,
Copy !req
129. leaving me powerless,
banished to this
rocky prison.
Copy !req
130. I lay dormant for
thousands of years,
Copy !req
131. remembered, worshiped,
yearned for.
Copy !req
132. Until one day...
Copy !req
133. MR. All I need
now is for you to contact
your students, Professor.
Copy !req
134. Obey!
Copy !req
135. Won't listen.
Can't listen.
Copy !req
136. Can't allow you
to control my mind.
Copy !req
137. Won't allow you to...
Copy !req
138. If somebody
is holding Xavier,
Copy !req
139. I'm gonna enjoy
making them let go.
Copy !req
140. When a mutant
came to our valley
Copy !req
141. and released
her elemental energy,
Copy !req
142. I awoke,
weakened but alive.
Copy !req
143. But to fully imbue
my life force into the land,
Copy !req
144. I required Storm's power
at its total savage fury.
Copy !req
145. My priestess sent you,
Karl Lykos,
Copy !req
146. known as Sauron to her.
Copy !req
147. It was no accident that
you were drawn to her.
Copy !req
148. I gave you that yearning.
Copy !req
149. Beneath the range
of volcanoes that
ring our hidden valley
Copy !req
150. lies a source
of planetary power,
Copy !req
151. the surging force
of molten magma
Copy !req
152. that maintains
the Savage Land's
tropical climate.
Copy !req
153. I intend to fuse
with that energy.
Copy !req
154. Once I do,
no force on Earth
Copy !req
155. will be able to
imprison me again.
Copy !req
156. Restrain me,
I beg you!
Copy !req
157. Do not let me
recover my strength.
Copy !req
158. And I told you
to let loose
every now and again.
Copy !req
159. Shows what I know.
Copy !req
160. Now what?
Copy !req
161. The land changes.
Copy !req
162. Behold Garokk!
Copy !req
163. Behold Garokk!
Copy !req
164. Gaze upon my works
and tremble.
Copy !req
165. Let the Age of Garokk
begin anew.
Copy !req
166. If anyone's got a daring
last-minute rescue in mind,
Copy !req
167. now would be the time.
Copy !req
168. To put it in the vernacular,
alley-oop!
Copy !req
169. What's with
the gray dirt?
Copy !req
170. No!
Copy !req
171. All right, stone-face,
Copy !req
172. let's see how you stack up
to adamantium.
Copy !req
173. Wow! You got some
rough shrubbery
around here, pal.
Copy !req
174. Wolverine! Behind you!
Copy !req
175. He's free,
corrupting the land.
Copy !req
176. No! Get back!
Copy !req
177. Let me breathe!
Copy !req
178. No!
Copy !req
179. Evil must be stopped!
Copy !req
180. Not a real good idea
to make her mad.
Copy !req
181. I summon the bitter
winter frost!
Copy !req
182. You dare challenge
the will of Garokk?
Copy !req
183. Curious.
Copy !req
184. Garokk seems to be
directing himself toward
that mountain range.
Copy !req
185. Those are
the volcanoes that
heat the Savage Land.
Copy !req
186. - Oh, my!
- What is wrong?
Copy !req
187. This is just
a hypothesis,
mind you,
Copy !req
188. but based on what
I've observed,
Copy !req
189. if Garokk absorbs
the energy of those
geothermal pits,
Copy !req
190. he could become
supremely powerful.
Copy !req
191. And this entire land
would be frozen solid.
Copy !req
192. What are you talking about?
I'm sweating like a pig here.
Copy !req
193. I believe Storm
is responsible.
Copy !req
194. If cold will not
slow you, Garokk,
Copy !req
195. then perhaps
heat will.
Copy !req
196. Is this the limit
of your power,
weather witch?
Copy !req
197. Foolish creature!
Copy !req
198. Your pitiful efforts
merely empower me.
Copy !req
199. I summon the full force
of the elements!
Copy !req
200. I believe
Storm's attacks
of meteorologic energy
Copy !req
201. are actually
strengthening Garokk.
Copy !req
202. We gotta stop her
helping him.
Copy !req
203. Storm, this is Beast.
Cease and desist,
I implore you.
Copy !req
204. Your efforts only
exacerbate the situation.
Copy !req
205. Leave me alone!
Copy !req
206. Let me go!
Copy !req
207. Sorry, sugar.
You don't know
what you're...
Copy !req
208. No!
Copy !req
209. - Wow!
- Fascinating.
Copy !req
210. Stay back!
Copy !req
211. Infidel, do not attempt
to thwart the will
of almighty Garokk.
Copy !req
212. I awaken.
Copy !req
213. Soon, the entire
Savage Land will know
the will of Garokk.
Copy !req
214. The power of the Earth
shall be mine!
Copy !req
215. Silence! Sauron,
and Sauron alone,
Copy !req
216. will rule the Savage Land.
Copy !req
217. I will absorb every ounce
of energy you possess.
Copy !req
218. I can feel it, building,
flowing through me.
Copy !req
219. No! It is too much!
Copy !req
220. What is happening to me?
Copy !req
221. No!
Copy !req
222. No one challenges
Sauron and lives!
Copy !req
223. This evil must
be destroyed!
Copy !req
224. Storm! Get away
from there!
Copy !req
225. Storm! Rogue!
Copy !req
226. Where are you?
Copy !req
227. Storm!
Copy !req
228. Somebody
say something!
Copy !req
229. Rogue!
Copy !req
230. Rogue! Storm!
Copy !req
231. I'm afraid we may be
too late, my friend.
Copy !req
232. Over here, boys.
Help me with Storm.
Copy !req
233. She is unconscious,
but alive.
Copy !req
234. We must get her to
the medical facilities
on the Blackbird.
Copy !req
235. I was so close.
Copy !req
236. You are safe now,
Karl Lykos.
Copy !req
237. The nightmare is over.
And with no mutant energy
to tempt you,
Copy !req
238. the presence of Sauron
will haunt you no more.
Copy !req
239. Thank you, my friend.
Copy !req
240. About my behavior
back there,
Copy !req
241. how can I ask you
to forgive me?
Copy !req
242. Hush, now.
You need to rest.
Copy !req
243. I am frightened, Rogue.
Copy !req
244. Listen, sugar,
that wasn't you out there.
Copy !req
245. Don't forget,
Copy !req
246. Sauron messed
with my head, too.
Copy !req
247. Thank you for
your understanding.
Copy !req
248. All these years of
caution and denial,
Copy !req
249. to finally unleash
my true feelings.
Copy !req
250. I liked letting go.
Copy !req
251. Never before
have I felt so free.
Copy !req
