Synopsis
Trimega returns in three bodies, each with different powers, but finally Margali banishes the three of them. Kurt agrees Margali should return with him and Amanda to the school so the X-Men can protect her and determine what Trimega is after. However, once inside the school, Margali places a spell on Beast and Storm to access their knowledge, leaving them reduced to little more than drawings on paper. Just as Amanda realizes what her mother is truly after, an even larger force of Trimegas than before assaults the school.
