All the New Mutants are together again. Too bad the ship they're on is being attacked by the Shi'ar Imperial Fleet!
Before the attacks, Xavier probes the minds of his students to be brought up to speed with recent events.
He is horrified by what he sees. He believes he must return to Earth at once.
Unbelievably, the mentor forces his pupils to use their powers on one another (more specifically, for Karma to control Illyana multiple times).
Finally, Charles Xavier makes his decision; to stay with the Starjammers and save them.
The New Mutants are returned home, thanks to a controlled Magick.
When that control ceases, Illyana is understandably enraged.
While all that was happening, Magneto and Storm accepted the position within the Hellfire Club as the White King!

Everyone's perfectly in character (except Illyana, who said she felt hollow without her dark half previously, but is now very against uniting with her other half again, not even conflicted, simply fully against it), but none of the moments get the time they deserve.
Also, I hated the art in this issue.
