Jean Grey senses that something odd is going on in that part of Africa. Beast finds that it is an tare in the Astral Plane of the planet from Bishop's time-travel. Soon Storm comes and looks at the map and says that it's near her village. So, Storm and Rogue go to Africa. When they get there they find the crops destroyed and on fire, so Storm create rain and stops the fire. Then the villagers tell her that Mjnari(Storm is Mjanri's god-mother) did all this. Shadow king captured Mjnari's body, so he could convince Storm to take over her body. Later Shadow King comes and tells Storm to come to the Mountain to free her son. Storm goes to the mountain alone, because she thinks Shadow King could harm Mjnari. But Rogue follows her anyway. Storm agrees to let Shadow King take over her body, if he leaves Mjnari unharmed. Then Shadow King possesses Storm's body and leaves for Cairo. Rogue goes after Shadow King to stop him, but has hard time even getting near Shadow King. Storm can still control her body, some of the times. So she starts going higher and higher in space to kill the Shadow King including her. Shadow King starts suffocating and leaves Storm's body. Storm falls down, so Rogue catches her. Mjnari tells Storm that he can see the Astral portal. So he lures shadow king into the portal.
