When Sunspot and Magma are kidnapped, Cannonball and Magik turn to teleporting rockstar mutant Lila Cheney for help. They discover their teammates have been dragged into the Underground Mutant Theatre where they'll fight as members of the Gladiators in an arena in the name of entertainment. What they don't know is that the man behind it all, Alexander Flynn, has drugged them and it threatening to kill kidnapped children if they refuse to fight. Lila's new session singer, Dazzler, helps Cannonball, Magik and Lila infiltrate the Theatre. But their rescue attempt is interrupted when Magneto arrives having received a message from Professor X that the Beyonder has arrived on planet Earth. Despite the threat, Sunspot and Magma refuse to help...
Secret Wars II #1
Having alerted Magneto, the mutant master of magnetism recruits Cannonball, Magik, Dazzler, Lila Cheney and the X-Men who all head to Hollywood to confront the Beyonder. Instead, they face a scriptwriter who's been transformed by the Beyonder into the super-powered Thundersword! Rachel Summers locates the Beyonder (who has modelled himself on the Molecule Man). He grabs Magik and forces her transformation into the Darkchilde. She teleports herself, Shadowcat, Rachel, Dazzler and the New Mutants to Limbo in shame, having hidden this form from them all until now. Wolverine slices the Beyonder with his claws, making the panicked Lila Cheney teleport them to away to avoid his wrath. Iron Man and Captain America remove the source of Thundersword's powers and the Beyonder vanishes...
In Limbo, Shadowcat takes the Soulsword from Magik and uses it to turn her back to human form. The group return to their mission in Hollywood, unaware they the Beyonder is watching them. Dazzler infiltrates the Gladiators, pretending to return as one of them but the appeal of the arena is too strong and she soon inspires real violence in the competitors. Shadowcat passes herself off as a technician to get a job in the arena, but is quickly discovered by the true mastermind. Magik discovers the Beyonder's presence and Rachel Summers psychically confronts him, almost killing her until Cannonball drags her to safety. Sunspot and Magma return to the arena where they face a monstrous creature...

Magma and Sunspot fight the creature until Shadowcat breaks free from inside its robotic shell.

The New Mutants purse their psychic foe who turns out to be Karma - the former New Mutant the rest of the team believed was dead, now in an obese form - and allow her escape when she threatens to kill her followers. Sunspot believes Professor X lied about Karma's death and promise to go after her and bring her home...
