Plot summary
The X-Men and various other mutants attend the funeral of a young mutant boy named Landru who has been killed in a road traffic accident and muse on what this means for mutantkind. Beast plans to find a way to reverse M-Day. After he was unable to attain a solution with the help of Reed Richards, Henry Pym, and Tony Stark, he offers to "sell his soul" to nine of the world's most dangerous villains (Pandemic, M.O.D.O.K., Kavita Rao, Spiral, Sugar Man, Mister Sinister, the High Evolutionary, Arnim Zola, and Doctor Doom) in exchange for their assistance. Rebuffed by most, Beast travels to Transia in search of the High Evolutionary, whose cryptic comments aroused Beast's curiosity. Scaling Mount Wundagore, he and his group of travelers are confronted by the Knights of Wundagore.
The High Evolutionary briefly entertains Beast's pleas and discusses the possibility that science cannot undo something that magic ultimately caused, but seems ultimately uninterested in helping and turns out to not even be there in person. He does, however, hint that Beast is not the first person to travel to Wundagore looking for a solution to the M-Day problem, nor the first to be dissatisfied with his answers.
Looking for help, he receives an offer from Kavita Rao: with mutants as an endangered species, her research into depowering mutants has become pointless. She has taken tissue samples from all the mutants she depowered, all of which turned to dust on M-Day. After a debate about her ethics, she gives McCoy her notes and lab and announces her plan to return to India. Working in her notes, Beast sees a file he recognizes: "Neverland". After a debate with the X-Men about the Neverland facility, he goes there to search for information. He is shocked by the inhumanity of the notes and the graffiti, but is hopeful when he sees notes about a mass grave in the yard. Going through the yard, he discovers that the bodies have been moved, and he is ambushed by the Dark Beast. Dark Beast seems to be there to "offer his services" so to speak to Beast, and very reluctantly Beast accepts his help under the condidition that Dark Beast follow Beast's orders.
Traveling away from Neverland, Dark Beast convinces Hank to take a serum of his own "liquid memory" whearas Beast experiences six memories from Dark Beast.
