A voice cries out saying: "Previously on Xtreme Wolverine," the following clips are shown:

1) From "Viva La Franz," Gambit & Logan defeat THE MARAUDERS in battle.

2) From "Mob Rules," The Soprano Mafia robs a bank. Logan then joins them, but double-crosses them and kills them all. Nightcrawler looks at a knife which stabbed Logan.

3) From "Rumble in the Jungle," Beast and Valerie Grey look over the knife. Beast says, "Fascinating. The knife which stabbed Logan was made of a strange alloy and had poison in it. That's why Logan's healing factor wasn't working properly."

4) From "The Omega Strike," Omega Red fights Colossus and turns him into his evil slave.

5) From "Kiss Of The Spider," Spider-Man and Logan battle VENOM in an abandoned building. Logan then slashes VENOM'S throat.

6) From "For Whom The Bell Tolls," Logan battles the ghost named GILLIWOK. He defeats him and talks with the old man he saved.

Scene 1: Logan is on a highway coming back from Jamestown. He is in no rush to get back to the mansion, but he is riding at a very respectable pace. He looks around at the buildings and the scenery and is very pleased. He then gets off at an exit and goes into a local bar near Westchester. He goes inside and sits down. "What can I get ya?," says the female bartender. "Gimme a brew darling," says Logan. The bartender gets a cold one from the cooler and hands it to Logan. Logan nods his head and heads to the back of the bar and stands alone. He then puts his head down and with a white flash, we see random pictures of Yuriko, ending with her in Logan's arms. "Yuriko," says Logan, with tears in his eyes. A young man in his early 20's then comes into the bar. From the way he dresses, he looks like NightCrawler, but we cant see his face just yet. He orders a beer and heads to the back. He then stands by Logan. "Kinda lonely here huh?" the man asks with a sigh. "No ladies to talk to. You OK fella? You don't look so good." Logan doesn't answer. "Ohhh I get it. Not getting any action lately huh?" Logan then smashes the bottle on the ground and and grabs the man by the shirt. "Look bub, if you wanna have children, you better back off!" says Logan very angrily. "Hey! Easy there. It's me James," says the man. Logan is shocked. The man then transforms into NightCrawler. "Since when you learn to be a shape shifter?" asks Logan still shocked. "Well I found out after we fought Edea. I didn't want to tell anyone, especially my mother, but the Professor began to see changes in me." James looks down. "So what are you doing here anyways?" asks Logan. "Oh. The Professor sent me to get you. He wants to try an experiment that might bring Yuriko back." Logan is surprised. "Really? What kind of experiment?" "Im not so sure. He is with Cyclops and Dr. Grey in the library trying to find out." Logan thinks. "Hmmm. Let me think it over ok?" James nods and then begins to leave. Logan stops him. "James, wait! Tell the Professor that I'll be there in 1 hour." James nods and he then disappears. Logan then thinks to himself, and we hear his thought. "Now what is that old man up to? And why did he send James to tell me? This is weird. I better go check this out." Logan then pays for the beer and heads out to his bike. (Scene fades)

Opening Credits

Scene 2: Back at the mansion, Valerie Grey and Cyclops are in the library looking at some books. "WOW! This is fascinating," says Valerie. "What you find Val?" asks Cyclops."Seems like we can do a summoning spell so we can try to resurrect Yuriko's spirit." Cyclops is amazed. "Hmmm. Interesting. Let's go tell the Professor," he says. With that both heroes walk out of the library, Valerie holding the book of spells in her hand.

Scene 3: In Professor Page's office, Beast and the Professor are working on some minor paperwork. "Ahh, good Hank. Make it so," says the Professor. "Right away Professor," says Beast. Beast then leaves. On the way out he sees Cyclops and Valerie, but they only give nods as a greeting. "Ahh, Scott, Valerie. You're here. Good. What did you find!?" "We found a lot Professor," says Valerie. "I found a summoning spell that could possibly resurrect Yuriko's spirit." Page thinks to himself. "Hmmm. Interesting." Then the Professor speaks outloud, "Good work Valerie. Scott, call the others in." "Why?" asks Cyclops kind of shocked. "Even if this works, won't we need a body?" "Of course," states the calm Professor. "However, that is the easy part. Hank can handle that." Cyclops then leaves to get the other X-Men, and Valerie follows. Page then says something under his breath. "It's the summoning that worries me. I hope this works." (scene fades out)

Scene 4 ("Born to Raise Hell" by Motorhead plays throughout): Logan is on his way back to the mansion. He is riding very fast now. He gets to the mansion and parks his bike in the garage and heads inside. He goes into the lobby but sees no one. "Hello? Anybody here? It's me Logan," he says. There is no answer. He then gets suspicious and heads to Professor Page's office. Little does he know that the summoning spell is taking place.

Scene 5: In the Professor's office, he and the X-Men are sitting at the table. "Everyone ready?" he asks. The X-Men all nod their heads. They then hold each others hands and the seance begins. "Yuriko? Yuriko are you there?" asks the Professor. But there is no response. Page tries again and a big rumble comes from the table and a flash of light is seen. Everyone covers their eyes. When the light fades we see Yuriko's spirit hovering over the table. She begins to come down to the floor, and smiles. All are in shock. "It worked!" screams Valerie Grey. Logan then barges in and sees the seance. He is shocked at first, but not overly. Yuriko turns around, and says "YOU!" but her ghostly voice doesn't sound to welcoming. Yuriko's spirit then fades away. "What in the hell is this? Why couldn't wait for me? I trusted you Professor!" he shouts. Logan is shown very pissed off. "Logan wait!" says the professor. However, Logan doesn't pay any attention, and turns around. James tries to comfort him, but Logan punches him in the face. James falls back. He quickly comes back, and he & Logan charge at each other. Page uses his powers to tellepathically tell them "NO!" And holds them in place. "Logan," he says into Wolverine's head. "Why are you . . .?" But before he can complete the question he stops, and his face turns to shock. The psychic hold on the brothers is released. "I can't believe you violated my trust Professor. I'm outta' here!" Logan turns and leaves. "Logan!" cries Dr. Grey, as she puts a hand to her head. "No Val! Let him go!" Page looks down and murmurs, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I should have waited for you." Scene fades out as we see Logan on his bike not knowing where he is going.

Scene 6: In another part of the world, we see our old friend MAGNETO walking around his lair (which has been rebuilt). He then heads into Edea's room and comes to the book of spells she had. Surprisingly, it was open to a resurrection spell. He begins to smile wickedly and looks at a picture of him and her together. He frowns. "Edea, I loved you so much. It's a shame you turned evil on me." He then rips the spell out and leaves the room. He then calls Sabertooth. (He isn't dead yet?!) Sabertoth comes into the throne room. "You called?" he asks. "Yes Creed. I need your help. I'm going to resurrect Edea's soul so we can rid ourselves of Page and his pitiful X-Men." "But I thought she was evil, and turned on you?" "Yes, and no. That was a demon controlling her soul. I can free her soul, with her resurection. The spell here clearly indicates, this ritual, to be done tonight, under the 1st full moon of the year. However, it will be the only chance." They then sit at the table and Magneto begins to chant the spell. "RESO, FORTO, AMORO, RESURETTO!" he yells. A strange black cloud hovers over the 2 villains and lightning shoots out and hits Magneto in the chest knocking him unconscious. Sabertooth is in shock. "Milord! You ok?" he says trying to get an answer. No answer is given. Sabertooth then goes and gets a doctor. Scene fades as we see Magneto on the floor unconscious.

Scene 7: Back at the mansion, James and the Professor are talking in his office while the other X-Men are figuring out what happened. "I'm sorry for that outburst Professor. I've know Logan a long time, I can't believe he hasn't opened up to you yet," says James. "It's ok James. It wasn't his fault or yours. I should've consulted with Logan first. I am to blame for what happened here," says Page. James looks sad. Suddenly, a big white flash comes from Page. "UNGHHHH!" screams Page. "Professor!!" yells James as he checks on the Professor who is now unconscious. "OH MY GOD! Professor don't die on me. Hold on, I'll go get Dr. Grey." He runs out of the room and goes to get the rest of the X-Men.

Scene 8: Valerie and the rest of the X-Men run into the Professor's office and see him on the floor unconscious. "What happened James??" asks Cyclops. "I don't know. We were talking about Logan then he just fell down." Beast then goes and checks for a pulse. There is one but it is faint. "He's alive. But he is in a catatonic state," says Beast. "Let's get him to a hospital right away," says Cyclops. They then pick him up and go to the hospital.

Scene 9: Logan is on his bike heading north. He passes a sign that says; "Welcome to CANADA". He then looks down. "Why Professor! Why did you have to betray me?" he asks himself. He slams his hands on his bike. "It failed 'cause of you Page, you better find a way to fix it!" He then speeds to clear his head and find some answers. (scene fades out)
