When Ahmyor is dragged away, Blastaar tells Blink that her lover was correct; that he had no idea of who he once was ! As he is slowly transforming back into his true self, Ahmyor has been strapped to the Annihilation Cannon as Blastaar needs Annihilus’s cosmic control rod to power the device, which he will use to start a war with Earth. Shocked of her lover’s imminent fate, Blink decides to help him and her memory of her prior life returns. She gets hold of her quiver again as she escapes the dungeons. She teleports to the Cannon, which is a few seconds before being used. Ahmyor begs her to leave him be, but she wont, and with her three remaining bolts teleports the two of them and the cannon away. The Cannon materializes in midst of Blastaar’s army and explodes. Miles away, Ahmyor, now fully Annihilus, wants revenge; but then he remembers Clarice and has a moment of peace. Blink arrives back at the Age of Apocalypse, her home, where she tells all to her mentor, Sabretooth, about her adventures. Sabretooth tells her that fate might separate her from a lover, but her feelings for him will survive. Months later, as the Age of Apocalypse world is ending, Blink is pulled into an energy portal, and arrives on a strange desert world where she is met by a blue skinned woman.

In the heat of the battle Blink defies direct orders, and while Rogue and Morph have to continue the battle on their own she ventures into a fortress. Inside she finds a green alien from the planet Poppup. Learning that the Dark Beast plans to exploits his DNA, Blink follows the alien’s request and puts him out of his misery. Yet when she rams her crystal dagger into him he gets teleported away instead of dying – enough to spoil the Dark Beast’s plans. Later Magneto confronts Blink about her behavior and threatens her that if she again steps out of line, she will be forced to leave the team.

Blink blacks out and upon waking up she finds a man pointing a gun at her head. When asked about her name, Blink realizes that she doesn’t remember, she has complete amnesia.
