The opening scene has Erik the Red and the Crystal Claws attacking a hospital in Anchorage, Alaska where they find and kidnap Cyclops' and Havok's grandparents.
Shift the X-Mansion where Scott and Alex are also facing the Crystal Claws. After the fight, they ask Xavier for help contacting the Shi'Ar but the Anchorage police call them to inform them that aliens snatched their grandparents.
Cut to a flashback narrated by ADAM X where it shows a former bodyguard of Lilandra's and D'Ken's father, the previous Shi'Ar Emperor, rescued him from a pod of some kind and raised him with his "tribe" on a farming planet they got exiled to and Adam X left when his powers (the ability to ignite someone's oxygenated blood? WTF?) activated.
Cut to the present (I guess) where Adam X is meditating on some farm and the farmer's son shows up with a shotgun to chase him away. Adam saves the kid from a snake and then Cable shows up to tell what Erik did and bodyslides away.
Adam starts to hitchhike (somewhere) but he's attacked by Raza and Hepzibah from the Starjammers. Adam tries to use his blood powers on them but Cyclops and Havok push them out of range with their powers. The brothers ask Adam for his help but the two Starjammers start to argue with them and Adam runs away. The four of them teleport in Adam's way and a fight breaks out.
Adam manages to cut all 4 of them and starts to use his powers on them but only Hepzibah and Raza are affected. Cyclops and Havok try to knock him out with their energy blasts but nothing happens. Corsair uncloaks his ship and tells Scott and Alex 'say hello to your brother' and fires his blaster.
TBC.
