X-Factor # 86 - One of These Days...Pow! Zoom!

Part 10 of the X-Cutioner's Song, this issue came bagged with a Dark Riders Stryfe's Strike File card.

Cyclops and Jean Grey have escaped Stryfe's base and realize they're on the moon and can't breath. Stryfe saves them and suggests that he is their son before torturing them some more.

Wolverine, having received a psionic distress signal from Jean Grey, tells the X-Men and X-Factor that she and Cyclops are on the moon. Cable, Bishop, and Wolverine prep themselves to go to the moon on their own. Upon arrival at the base they run into the Dark Riders and some of Stryfe's MLF troops.

Havok assembles a team of X-Men, Polaris, and Cannonball to go to the moon as well. Madrox lets Havok know the dupe that was watching the X-Patriots was missing. The dupe later awakens in the hospital.

Archangel lets Apocalypse out of the cell he was being detained in to try and save Xavier who was near death. Apocalypse complies and uses a device to eradicate the T-O virus from Xavier's system but not before enveloping Xavier and himself in the virus. Storm and Havok try to stop Apocalypse but Archangel stands in their way seemingly possessed again. Apocalypse and Xavier disappear then reappear as the X-Men look on in horror with the remaining T-O virus on the floor. Storm thanks Apocalypse and he offers use of his spaceship to fly to the moon.
