"Ready, Dylan?" the Professor asked. Dylan nodded, and he glowed pink and disappeared into his body. The Professor placed his fingers on his temples and concentrated; a pink glowing ball appeared, and as it spread into a silhouette it turned black, and a few seconds later took on the image of the Shadow King.
Jean! Psylocke! Now! the Professor commanded. Jean and Psylocke, who were standing beside the bed on which Dylan slept, closed their eyes and after a second of utmost concentration sent two bolts of stunning mental energy; one fiery and one shadowy, towards the Shadow King, who reeled backwards in pain as the bolts made contact with him. the Professor joined in, and this time, a colourless bolt of psychic energy joined the shadow and fiery ones that once again hit the Shadow King really bad.
"Apparently you think I'm not telepathic anymore, don't you?" the Shadow King said as he glowed black, then pink, and disappeared, causing Dylan's body to jerk and sit up. The moment Dylan's eyes opened, black energy crackled from them, and Dylan stood up on the floor and threw three telepathic energy balls at Jean, Psylocke and the Professor, hitting all of them hard. Seizing the opportunity, Dylan ran out of the room.
Iceman had chased Dylan out of the room, and had cornered off the door leading outwards by getting to it first and creating an ice wall there. "Dylan! Take control!" Iceman shouted. "Definitely," Dylan said, and he grabbed on to Iceman's head as he said, "of you." Iceman, now under the control of the Shadow King, walked towards the door leading into the sick bay and froze it shut. A moment later, Shadowcat, holding on to Colossus' hand, walked through the ice as though it were never there in the first place.
"You're supposed to be a threat, right?" Dylan asked mockingly, as he hurled an energy ball at Colossus, hurling him through the ice wall, shattering it, all the way into the sick bay where he landed on a bed.
Candle flung her hand at Dylan, creating a fire wave that flew right at him; at the very same time, Dylan had released another energy ball which flew at the Scarlet Witch, but he changed it's course and soon, it cancelled out the fire wave. Dylan once again flung an energy ball at the Scarlet Witch, who screamed and raised her hands in front of her in defence; a blue shield appeared in front of her, and when the energy ball hit it, it ricocheted back at Dylan, and hit him square in the chest. The Shadow King fell out of Dylan's body, injured, whereas Dylan stood there, apparently unharmed, but nevertheless dazed.
The Shadow King quickly regained his bearings, and stretched his hands out at Dylan, attempting to possess him again. "Dylan!" Shadowcat screamed in warning. "Shadow King!" Dylan, only half-awake, turned around to face the Shadow King, and an arm composed of pink light - the arm of his psyche - reached out of his chest and punched the Shadow King in the eye, and then reached back into his chest and disappeared.
Suddenly, the Shadow King glowed black and vanished.
"What just happened?" Shadowcat asked. "A very good question, Kitty," Iceman, who had been just released from the Shadow King's control, added. "Hey," Psylocke said, putting her index finger to her temple, "I can't sense him anymore!" "And neither can I," Professor X said. "Perhaps it means that we've won."
