Meanwhile, Professor Xavier receives word of Storm's capture and sends the X-Men to rescue her. The team consists of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, and Nightcrawler.

As they search for Storm, the team encounters various obstacles and fights against the forces of the tribe, who are determined to keep Storm captive.
