UNIVERSE 621
Ben was also waiting for the Living Tribunal information about the Beyonder. The Living Tribunal had found the Beyonder power is linked to Molecule Man, but he was searching for complete information on how to kill him.
Meanwhile, at the X-Men side, while the Professor was again trying to find the Beyonder.
"X-Men, I am going to kill the Beyonder," Rachel shouted in anger, she was angry at the Beyonder for giving trouble to the X-Men by turning Illyana in the Darkchilde.
"Rachel, are you mad?" Kitty asked her.
"I've given this a lot of thought, he's a threat to everything that exists. He has to be stopped. and I figure Phoenix is the one to do it! WISH ME LUCK, X-MEN! Goodbye," Rachel replied and before anyone said anything to her, she vanished from there.
"Your momma was Phoenix, Rachel! What you are- is crazy!" Rogue said, but Rachel vanished from there.
"So what the heck do we do about it!" Magneto asked.
"Wish the youngster luck, like she asked," Wolverine replied.
"Yeah! That creep's done nothing but harm since he first appeared. He's past due for a taste of his own medicine!" Cannonball also agreed.
"My only regret is that I won't be there with her…" Wolverine said, while his claws comes out from his hands, he smirked, "...for the kill."
"Sheathe your claws, Wolverine! Regardless of our feelings, my friends… We must find Rachel, and stop this mad quest, before it is too late," Storm said.
"Why bother, Storm? We've all experienced the Beyonder's power. Do you really believe… Our young Phoenix can hurt him, in any way?" Nightcrawler points out.
"Perhaps not, Nightcrawler, but she might make him angry," Storm explained, while Xavier focused his search on Rachel instead of Beyonder.
Meanwhile, Beyonder was busy growing flowers and grass at Alcatraz while thinking about how he will become a human.
But suddenly, Rachel in the Phoenix form comes and burns all the Island including the Beyonder. But as the result she desires, nothing happened to Beyonder, not even the single grass was burnt.
Beyonder turned back and noticed towards Rachel, "We've met before this newborn star and I, yet for all her power, this fragile blossom is no less fascinating."
"Nothing happened?" Rachel said in a shocked voice, "I flared like a supernova and hit this island with all the power I possess and outside of this patch of fused Earth… Did absolutely no damage."
"I would not allow it. I know why you are here, Phoenix, and what you think of me. But you are mistaken, I mean no harm to you," Beyonder replied.
"I don't believe you. You're history, buster!" Rachel said and she again fired from full attack on the Beyonder, erasing him.
"Does that outburst make you feel any better?" Beyonder asked, again nothing happened to him and he was standing alive.
"I won't quit, monster! I'll keep trying, I'll keep on coming…" Rachel shouted at him. She is understandably shocked at this but decides to not give up and unleashes even more power against him but to no avail.
The Beyonder is amused by her and her existence so he takes her to a trip down memory lane as he transports her to her own time and has her witness the deaths of those close to her. Even Katherine Pryde of her time who perished after helping to transport her to this timeline.
"The past, but not my past, not the history I remember. Different timeline! one where Rachel Summers can't ever be born!" Rachel shouted in pain
"You have seen everyone you care for slaughtered. In a sense, you are the sole survivor of your world, of your race. Now you have two choices, save them or kill me," Beyonder said to her.
"How? And why?" Rachel asked, because this timeline X-Men were still fine and how can she slay the Beyonder.
"My reasons are my own. I here will grant you sufficient power to do so. Furthermore, I shall not even attempt to defend myself from any attack," Beyonder said, to prove his point that he enhances her powers.
She has neither words, nor even conceptions… To describe this transcendent moment, as she became a being of pure raw power. No more human now than the stars burning in the sky. And she wonders if this is how her mother felt.. When she became Phoenix?
But at the same time Blackbird appeared there, and also many Sentinels were revived by Beyonder, who is going to attack on the X-Men.
"A Sentinel! Omega series hunter-killers, but that's crazy! They weren't even designed till the turn of the century! In my time before my eyes these were the butchers who massacred the X-Men," Rachel said, as she was now in confusion, what to do, kill the Beyonder or save her teammates.
All her friends are then scattered across the city and sentinels from her time set upon them. If Rachel destroys Beyonder , her friends will die and if she saves them he will surely escape. Going against her instincts she saves her friends/surrogate family.
But after destroying all the Sentinels, her power was spent and she again confronted the Beyonder.
"I hope you're satisfied! It'll take the X-Men days to repair the damage done by this lousy fight," She shouted at him.
"The X-Men are alive and well, Phoenix, thanks to you. Rachel, you saved them!" Beyonder complimented her.
"I saved nothing!" Rachel shouted, she is furious and this time instead of attacking she slaps his face, "You gave me the power, you set up the situation, you created the threat."
He claims that this situation was to give her direction in her life so she could let go of her pain and rage and accept a new lease on life.
"I was little better than a toy, a puppet prancing about for your amusement! You may mean the best, but all you've done, all I think, you'll ever do is harm," Rachel warned him, that his intentions may be good but he treats people as disposable pawns only fit to do his bidding as he places them in dangerous situations he himself has caused.
She flew away from there, while the Beyonder is left to consider all that has happened.
Beyonder tried to help the New Mutants, as part of his attempt to help others find peace, he visited the New Mutants. First he found Illyana. She attacked him with her Soul Sword, but it had no effect on him just like the previous time, and he took it from her.
Much earlier, he had created the Darkchilde aspect of herself; now he decided to take all the evil out of her, and leave only purity.
He then sent her to convert the other New Mutants to his cause of purity and peace. She converted Sam Guthrie before he realized what she was doing, but the others rejected his gift.
Demons from Limbo attacked. The others were finally able to convince Magik that the Beyonder's gift wasn't right, that it took away their individuality and free thought.
Unfortunately the only way to reject the Beyonder's purity and to save Kitty Pryde, who was in the demon's clutches, was to re-accept her Darkchilde essence once more. She did, and the New Mutants were freed of the Beyonder's attempt at forced enlightenment, once again the Beyonder failed in his role of helping others find their own path.
Meanwhile, the Living Tribunal brings Ben to the Beyonder Realm through the pinhole. Which Owen Reece created when he became the Molecule Man, to find any chance to kill the Beyonder once and for all.
"So, from here Beyonder was living, before he gets in the Marvel Multiverse," Ben asked.
"Yes, but this is all I have not only found, I have also found a big secret about Beyonder," The Living Tribunal replied.
"What big secret?" Ben again asked.
"The secret is that before the pinhole was created, there was not any presence of Beyonder in this Beyonder Realm. Since the Beyonder had no memories before the pinhole, we found out the Molecule Man was in a sense responsible for the existence of the Beyonder," The Living Tribunal explained the origin of Beyonder.
"How?" Ben asked, he was also curious how the Beyonder came into existence.
"When I didn't find the details about the Beyonder, I went to ask the One-Above-All. And from there I found, it all starts from the Celestials," The Living Tribunal said.
"Celestials? What is the Celestials' role in between this?" Ben asked, he was now even more confused.
"It all started when Celestials were in the starting phase of creating lives. They created a cosmic being known as Cal-Horra before they created even one single planet. They have created the Beyonder Realm, where they send the Cal-Horra to see over it. Then Cal-Horra created the Beyonders species," The Living Tribunal gives the information.
"What? There is only the single Beyonder is the problem, now even the, there is the whole race of Beyonders?" Ben asked, he was now literally shocked. He didn't know, of the single Beyonder gives so much trouble, then the many Beyonders will destroy the whole Multiverse.
