Synopsis

Professor X sends his astral form to Peter Corbeau's space station where he witnesses an assault by the very alien and very powerful Knights of Hykon. Burning Moon captures Xavier's astral self and pulls from his mind the existence of the nearby Earth, prime for conquering. The Knights attack and the X-Men swiftly fall to their power. With only Storm left standing, Sky Song pulls the SHIELD Helicarrier out of the sky and throws it at her.
