Dawn Arc
Although there are brief guest appearances by Excalibur in one or two
of these stories, this is primarily the saga of a young mutant named Dawn
Embers, one of the most interesting author-created characters I've ever
had the pleasure to meet in fan-fiction.
In the first story in the series, Dawn Embers begins discovering her mutant powers after escaping from the sinister plans of Mr. Essex, the headmaster of her private school, and finds temporary refuge at the Massachusetts Academy with Gen X.
Dawn is dragged into the future by Rachel Summers to help the Askani battle against Apocalypse. Then, her triumph muted by the discovery she has Legacy, Dawn ends up in Limbo while trying to get back to her own time (after encountering her alternate self in the AOA universe, as described in A Song of Morning).
Escaping from Limbo, Dawn first goes back to Gen X where they're attacked by Emplate and then to Muir for help with Legacy, where Gen X and Excalibur battle Emplate and D'Spayre.
Returning from the dead, Dawn is swept up in the events of Onslaught, where she meets a young clairvoyant named Shrine who asks her help with his friend Karen.
Dawn, Everett, Jono and Angelo get thrown back in time, and meet the New Mutants and their headmaster, Magneto.
