Previously in Ultimate X-men: Cyclops decided that the only way to stop the bullet, was for him to go out into space, and destroy it using his optic blast. He did this, but not without consequence. Cyclops succumbed to the airless vacuum of space. The X-men are devastated.

Issue 10: The Burial

-X-mansion grounds, Cemetery-

No one could describe it, unless of course you have experienced it yourself. That awful empty feeling that is the loss of a loved one. Especially when it is your lover, your husband, your soul mate. Emma Frost, the stony faced one time Villain. How much had changed. She was inconsolable. Kitty her newfound ally on the team, held her hand throughout the ceremony. Emma didn't really have anyone else. Emma wasn't listening to the Priest, all she could think about was the empty coffin that lay in front of her. What was the point? There was no body to bury. This is wrong. A fake. But she knew there was no other way.

-X-mansion, the entire active roster of X-men have returned to the Mansion, for the wake-

"Emma, are you alright?" said Storm, trying to console her. "No, Nothing is alright" said Emma. "Everything is wrong." Said Emma. "Don't worry, I myself have experience many losses over my service as an X-man. But don't worry, you will move on." Said Storm. "Thank you Ororo" said Emma.

-Meanwhile in space-

She was rushing through space.. frantically. The red headed woman, cascading through space, searching, searching for him...

-Back at the mansion, a few hours later-

Kitty and Emma were waving goodbye to the last few mourners, "see you soon Sam" said Kitty, "Sure will" said Sam. He pulled Kitty into a hug. "don't worry, it will all be alright" said Sam. "Thanks" said Kitty. "Bye Sam" said Emma. "See you Emma" said Sam. "I am tired, I am going to bed, goodnight Kitty" said Emma. "Night, see you tomorrow" said Emma. "Yes, of course" said Emma.

-Emma's Room-

Me. The great Emma Frost. Succumbing to this.. Emma thought. She slowly sauntered over to the bath tub, flicked on the hot tap, and began to undress. Really.. me? The White Queen. Emma slowly lowered herself into the bath, then slowly lowered herself further, took one last breath and let the water engulf her..
