Why have you kidnapped us? You are my 22 00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:13,310 friends. I owe you my life and my throne. 23 00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:18,830 Then why not trust us to deal with Jean? The Phoenix is too powerful. 24 00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:23,230 Once she existed, only to serve our empire. 25 00:02:23,850 --> 00:02:27,450 Now she lives only to experience new sensations. 26 00:02:27,950 --> 00:02:33,170 The planets were fortunately uninhabited. But what of next time? 27 00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:37,010 Soon, single stars will not satiate her. 28 00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:39,030 She will consume galaxies. 29 00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:44,630 Like the crystal that spawned her, she can destroy all that is. 30 00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:47,190 I have no choice. 31 00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:50,550 But Professor Xavier has cured her. 32 00:02:51,230 --> 00:02:56,650 Scott, the Phoenix may be under control, but she is still within me. To kill an 33 00:02:56,650 --> 00:02:59,630 innocent creature to get at another is barbarous. 34 00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:05,130 Lelandra, I have invoked the challenge of Aranin Halar. 35 00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:11,630 You cannot refuse it. Take no solace in your cleverness. You have only 36 00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:13,270 compounded the tragedy. 37 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:16,670 The Shi 'ar Empire does not act alone. 38 00:03:17,930 --> 00:03:23,730 Phoenix is a creature of such immense power that she threatens stellar empires 39 00:03:23,730 --> 00:03:26,670 that were ancient before your son had planets. 40 00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:29,410 I must consult them. 41 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,520 Earthers are a stubborn breed, but, Honorable, the Creed do not object to 42 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:42,280 duel. Nor do I, Empress of the Skrulls, provided the X -Men are not 43 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,980 permitted to win. 44 00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:50,100 You will have your duel, Charles Xavier, though I fear you will live to regret 45 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,300 what you have done this day. 46 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,640 Fiend.

Yet we are asked to allow her 52 00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:17,300 to be destroyed to prevent the possible future crimes of another. 53 00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:20,180 But she has given Jean a trial by combat. 54 00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:22,920 Such a trial is no contest of reason. 55 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:24,340 It is a war. 56 00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:26,190 A position marks justice. 57 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:28,330 Lelandra is wrong. 58 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:30,350 You're getting slow, Gumbo. 59 00:04:32,270 --> 00:04:33,590 Damn it, we'll be ready. 60 00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:37,330 Will Lelandra be right? 61 00:04:37,550 --> 00:04:39,510 Is Phoenix too dangerous to exist? 62 00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:40,950 Maybe. 63 00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:47,310 But if push comes to shove, I stand by Gene all the way. 64 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:53,050 Lelandra, let our minds join as one. 65 00:04:56,620 --> 00:05:03,340 We must not let these events wither our love, Lelandra. I wish only to cherish 66 00:05:03,340 --> 00:05:04,340 you, Charles. 67 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,120 Then help me. Join with me to contain the phoenix. 68 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,780 That was unworthy of you. 69 00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:16,580 Lelandra, you do not understand. 70 00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:20,010 I... I am Empress of the Shi 'ar Empire. 71 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:26,570 My duty, before the longings of my heart, is to protect those in my 72 00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:32,170 dominion. Please, Lalandra, it doesn't have to be... I 73 00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:42,450 can't 74 00:05:42,450 --> 00:05:44,770 help thinking, Rogue. What if Lalandra's right? 75 00:05:45,290 --> 00:05:49,590 If the psychic circuit breakers Xavier placed in Jean's mind fail, a universe 76 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:52,510 full of innocent life would be at the Phoenix's mercy. 77 00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:54,790 I know how much you love Jean. 78 00:05:55,850 --> 00:05:59,590 It's the kind of love I've always wanted in my life but never had. 79 00:06:00,330 --> 00:06:01,990 This must be tearing you apart. 80 00:06:02,750 --> 00:06:04,550 I know what you're asking yourself. 81 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:08,330 If I were in Lalandra's place, would I act any differently? 82 00:06:08,990 --> 00:06:13,350 I'd like to think I would. No matter what the cost? 83 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,420 You're wearing your old X -Men uniform. It is how you first knew me. 84 00:06:18,860 --> 00:06:20,100 It felt right. 85 00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:26,100 My daddy always said, two's company and three's an eavesdropper. 86 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:34,100 I destroyed a solar system and reveled in it. Phoenix did, 87 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:40,820 not you. What if she breaks free? What if...
