Summary

  As a girl, Arcadia had a fantasy world where she fought the Queen of the Star Swords, but it turns out she is real and has possessed Arcadia, plans to conquer all dimensions, and has the four Danis as her guards. She quickly neutralizes SHIELD, and the Danis attack X-Force. James finds the real Dani, who now has no powers.

  The queen builds a dark cathedral on the Golden Gate bridge; Dani uses her link to Arcadia to break in with the team, but they are separated into various alternate worlds. James and Risque see X-Force still in Camp Verde, Cable and Sam having been killed by the MLF. Domino and Bedlam see X-Force in a world conquered by Belasco. Sam and Tabitha see X-Force all in the Weismann loony bin.

  Dani sees Arcadia's imaginary friends Mary Weather and the dragon Fenwick, who chases her, gets slain by Cable, and changes back into Ulysses. They meet slacker X-Force, who have surrendered to the queen.

  X-Force defeat three alternate Danis, and our Dani absorbs their powers, which sends them them back to their own realities. Then the queen shows up and sends hordes of alternates to attack. Cable gets to the queen, but she cuts him down and shows him alternate versions of himself. Kale shows up with Man-Thing, who makes cosmic Dani understand what to do. Our Dani uses Cable's psimitar to attack the queen; cosmic Dani adds her energy, and the queen retreats to her own dimension. Man-Thing makes our Dani understand how to destroy the cathedral, which she does, and everything is back to normal, and her minus her cosmic powers.

  Bobby accidentally on purpose bumps into Julia, who partly remembers him.

  Siryn, possessed, leaves her aunt's.
