Summary

  In Seoul, Ororo and Kitty are ambushed by servants of Cytorrak. They came to meet with Black Tom, who wants Ororo to steal a gem.

  Rogue flies into the mansion; Logan knows from her scent that she's been looking for Remy in Antarctica and says she can't make him come back till he wants to. Marrow has swiped Piotr's sketchbook, Kurt swipes it back, Marrow puts a bone to his throat, and Rogue yells at her. She has been living in the Danger Room, and they want her out so they can practice. Piotr mentions that Logan took his old room, so Logan decides to move out to the grounds. Piotr goes to Marrow, now in a closet, to give her a sketch of herself, but she doesn't want him to see that she collects pictures of pretty people.

  Juggernaut is dying. He had gone back to Korea on rumors that another gem was found, but it was a trick, and it drained power from his gem. He's still rampaging in the streets, though. Remy returns on a motorcycle and makes him drop a building, knocking himself out. Ororo berates him for being out of touch, but he says he didn't know anybody cared. He's also in town to steal the gem.

  Kitty introduces herself to him and finds a map in Juggernaut's pants. They partner, go to the temple, and get attacked. Kitty gets backed into a pool of piranha and phases into the chamber with the gem, while Ororo and Remy fight the animated statue that the cult wants to power with it.

  Remy "guards" the gem and sends Kitty back to Ororo, who realizes they've been duped. But Remy overhears her hope that he will prove himself a hero, and he gives the gem to Juggernaut. Ororo asks him to come back with them, and Kitty wants to know how he got out of Antarctica.
