Synopsis for "Creatures on the Loose"

At an inn on the planet Boh-Tan-Ee, Lila Cheney beats up a Skrull until he reveals her target Jornik is on Earth. In Madripoor, X-Factor materializes over a canal and lands on a sunken spacecraft. Without warning, a large, rocky Urg emerges from the ship and attacks them. Strong Guy tries to calm it down, but it slugs him and shocks him with bolts of electricity from its eyes. The ship’s owner, a man with a cane, recognizes Guido and demands to know where “she” is then teleports Guido away. Aboard a flight to Paris, a disguised Mystique reflects on her defeat by Legion but remains committed to getting her revenge. Back in Madripoor, the Urg nullifies Polaris’s powers and electrocutes Havok. In an abandoned hotel nearby, the man with the cane interrogates a restrained Strong Guy until his image inducer fails, revealing his true alien form. Just then, Lila appears, identifies the alien as Jornik, and holds him at gunpoint. Stunned to see Guido there, she frees him from his restraints. When Guido asks what is going on, Jornik boasts that he stole Lila’s treasure hoard and hid it there in Madripoor. Jornik takes Lila and Guido to the hoard, and she frantically searches it for a music box. When she cannot find it, she attacks Jornik, and he confesses he sold it. Lila explains she was entrusted with the music box to prevent an interplanetary war, and its owners need it today. After dropping off Jornik at her Dyson sphere, Lila teleports to X-Factor with Guido. Then, she has Polaris distract the Urg long enough for her to teleport it to its homeworld. Suddenly, a vast spaceship appears overhead, and a loud voice from it calls out Lila’s name.
