Synopsis for Greater Love Hath No X-Man"

The new-team X-Men battle the original team, only to discover that the old team are really X-Sentinels, built by Stephen Lang. The X-Men defeat Lang and his X-Sentinels and rescue their colleagues. During his attempted escape, the X-Men force Lang to crash his escape craft, likely killing him^[1]. However, to make their own escape, the X-Men must use the shuttle that was damaged on their arrival and fly through a major solar flare. Their only option is for Jean Grey to fly the shuttle (after telepathically absorbing Dr. Corbeau's flight skills) while using her telekinetic powers to protect the ship. With everyone else safe in a life-cell inside the shuttle, Jean pilots it towards earth, but her protective bubble starts to fail...
