Complete story — includes the ending

While most of the X-Men fail to stop the Juggernaut and mayor Sinclair begins to consider letting Utopia be destroyed by the army, the Phoenix Force forces Emma Frost to suffocate Hope with a pillow while she's sleeping. Cyclops sees that the Juggernaut uses magical powers and, therefore, can only be stopped by magic. In response, he sends Magik alongside Shadowcat and Colossus to Cyttorak, who has to see that his avatar is cheating on him with another god and suggest that because of this betrayal, Magik must be selected to become the new Juggernaut. In the end, it's Colossus, who becomes Cyttorak's new avatar, much to the displeasure of Kitty Pryde.
