Synopsis:
Spider-Man is swinging through New York when he is apparently attacked by Storm, Nightcrawler and Iceman who reveal they are actually trying to warn him about a giant sentinel heading towards them.
The Sentinel takes them to the peak, it is the Sentinel that Danger ressureceted on Genosha.
On the Peak the Fantastic Four, X-Men, The Avengers and Doctor Strange have been gathered to help stop the bullet heading for Earth.
On the breakworld Aghanne tries to force Colossus to destroy the planet.
Brand makes it back to the X-Men and finds Beast, the team mention that Colossus doesnt know Kitty is trapped in the bullet.
On the Peak Doctor Strange passes out when he tries to stop the Bullet due to the magical protection.
Mister Fantastic starts to build a defense against the bullet.
Aghanne tries to force Colossus to destroy the planet so he starts to turn human, which in the generator will kill him, much to Aghanne's horror.
On the shuttle Agent Bran comes onto Beast but they dont have time to focus on it.
Ord jumps into the generator and kills Aghanne at teh cost of his own life, Colossus tells him he has saved his world.
Mr. Fantastic sucessfully manages to stop the Bullet from hitting Earth by using a Negative Zone portal, however all is not as it seems as the bullet is still heading towards Earth. All the heroes are actually hallucinating, this is the true magical protection.
Emma tries to comfort Kitty who is getting sicker.
The heroes continue to halluicinate including Iron Man and Sentry but Spider-Man realises his method that saved the world was rediculous and snaps out of it.
Spider-Man punches Storm to snap her out of it and it succeeds.
On the breakworld Colossus makes a threat after Wolverine cuts off Kruun's arm, he claims if Earth is destroyed he will rule the breakworld.
The sentinel tries to ram teh bullet and the only result is the Sentinel is destroyed.
The bullet is very close to Earth now and at the last second Kitty phases the bullet so it passes straight through the Earth.
Later, Back on Earth Cyclops explains to Colossus that Kitty is gone, she ahs fused with the Bullet, which can never hurt anyone else but there is no kitty, this is verified by Mr. Fantastic and Doctor Strange.
Armor punches Wolverine so he can take his anger out on her from the grief.
Brand and Beast begin a relationship.
The X-Men start to return to normal life with Emma and Cyclops closer than ever.
