...attack to distract the monster's warped minions while Illyana works to relinquish the Demon Bear's control over them.

Illyana doesn't know her sword will disrupt the curse when she impales Corsi on it, but after it renders him human, she and Rahne understand what comes next.

Illyana–especially with Dani incapacitated–is the group's sole expert on mystical affairs, leaving her alone to figure out a way to defeat the monstrous Bear and prevent its plot to plunge our world into darkness.

The rest of the team bands back together, coordinating their...

...suspects herself to be evil at her core. The attention to her ongoing struggle–tortured, but quieter than Logan's self-torment, for example–is some of Claremont's best emotional work, and at the core of why Magik will always be my favorite character.

The kids dive into action as Illyana continues to assert herself as the team's most powerful member (Am I biased? Yes. But can anyone else siphon a portion of their soul of to create a protective ward? No.), just managing to finish her spell as the Bear attacks.

...and what will happen to Corsi in the next issue's opening have soundly left him a character best left alone in modern context.

Sam suggested earlier that they wouldn't need to hunt for the Bear, that rather, it would come to them proves true, and Corsi & Sharon are attacked.
