This story later continues in the Daydreamers mini-series.Chapter Five: The Great Escape - As Black Tom recovers, the Man-Thing emerges from the vegetation, drawn there by the power of Frankilin Richards.� The muck monster transmutes itself, Howard, Beverly and the kids elsewhere.�Chapter Six: Point of No Return - Penance stalks Tom, and Gateway takes his leave.�Chapter Seven: Enemy Mine - Black Tom has captured within his thorny vines Sean, Emma, Husk, Synch, M, Chamber and Skin and gives Sean an ultimatum: kill the White Queen and get the students back, or refuse and watch the teens die.�Chapter Eight: Duel - Sean refuses, but Tom forces Emma to pummel him.� With her last bit of power, Emma possesses Banshee and makes him emit a sonic scream which apparently kills her.�Chapter Nine: Splitting Heirs - Tom slashes 'Synch' in two, revealing the students are merely simulacra, and the real ones are "elsewhere" under his control.� As he prepares to kill Sean, Tom is shredded by Penance and expires.�Epilogue: On Land or Sea or Foam... - With Tom no longer controlling the bio-organic transport containing the unconscious Generation X'ers, it floats to the ocean's surface from below, then drifts along.
