Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1 #243B (Newsstand Edition)

Jean has troubles to integrate the memories of Phoenix and Madelyne, a weakness that Sinister uses to enter Jean's mind from afar. He attempts to destroy her by smashing one memory shard at a time, but facing the common foe, the personalities unite and block him out. Beast and Longshot get the Greys and the baby to safety while the rest of the teams locate Sinister at Xavier's mansion. There they defeat the remaining Marauders, but the mansion explodes rendering all unconscious. Sinister pulls Jean out of the debris, claiming her as his prize. He orders Malice to kill the rest as Longshot arrives on the scene.
