untitled
Illyana Rasputin uses her magic to shift forward through the timestream in search of her lost, fellow X-Men. Under her, she sees cities crumble and civilizations fall but cannot afford to become distracted. She realizes she is hundreds of years in the future by now.
The ruins below give way to some strange nightmare world of bones and decay, and she feels a pull in her gut. There is something familiar here and, against all better judgement, she hesitates. That is all it takes and she is dragged downward by the spell of two hooded figures, who marvel that it’s really her, just like in the great chronicles.
Magik blusters that, if they know who she is, they also know they made a big mistake trying to ensnare her with their spells. As she breaks the spell with her Soulword, they warn her that they didn’t interrupt her sojourn to stop her. They want to warn her. This place is the nightmare the wold has turned into. Their mother did this and only Magik can stop her. They reveal their skull-like faces and black eyes. They are the daughters of Sapna. She destroyed all life and created this kingdom of death.
Omega World, 3167 AD:Storm and Nightcrawler stand next to a crouching Apocalypse as the temple crumbles around them. Storm shouts that Apocalypse was all that was holding this world together. Angrily, Kurt reminds her of the 600 unborn mutants. All dead! Resigned, Apocalypse asks what six hundred lives are. They’ve doomed millions! As he dies, the other realms will crumble. Storm helps Apocalypse up. Nightcrawler protests. She points out that if he dies, not only the domains will be lost, but also Piotr.
Outside:The X-Men just watched Logan get swallowed by Venom. Jean tries to reach him telepathically, while she telekinetically protects herself from the Venom symbionte that urges her to join them.
On the astral plane, she finds Logan sitting, legs akimbo, surrounded by nothingness. She urges him to fight the Venom symbionte. It’s making him do terrible things! She swore she’d never let anyone control him again. Please look at her! He’s going to hurt her. He becomes surrounded by Venom as he is in the real world and attacks her.
As they fight, the Horsemen Iceman points out they are losing control of the situation. Nightcrawler retorts they need to save Piotr. Storm tells him she needs a second to think of a plan. Teleporting her out of harm’s way, Kurt replies sometimes she thinks too much.
As he kicks his ass, Iceman informs future Deadpool that he never really liked him. Deadpool opens his mouth and a swarm of vermin flies toward Iceman.
Colossus tosses Glob Herman into Anole as he informs them they are out of their depth. They were always a disappointment. When he tries to attack Martha, Ernst hits him hard. However, to the kids’ surprise, Colossus’ metallic limbs now stretch as he traps Martha and throws her into a wall. Lord Apocalypse was willing to let them live, he booms, but they were weak! They needed the X-Men! Now they will be punished!
Deadpool takes out Iceman with a strange fluid coming from his mouth, only to be chased away by Cerebra. Iceman alerts her to the quakes.
Jean still tries to get in contact with the possessed Wolverine. Iceman suggests she try to contact the Venom symbiont instead.
On the astral plane, Jean finds herself in darkness. Venom hisses at her to get out. She attacks it telepathically and, with Iceman’s help, frees Logan on the real plane. Two Horsemen down, Logan remarks and hopes they have plan for taking down Colossus. Since they don’t, he unsheathes his claws and gets ready.
Somewhere in time, Magik is wary of what the two corpse-likes strangers are claiming. Sapna, that’s impossible, she is cured! They have no use for lies, is the reply. Centuries ago, Sapna fell from Magik’s side and, without her guidance, she became a great evil. She killed all of mutantkind and mankind but they refused to grow up in her shadow and have dedicated their lives to fighting her reign. Magik’s passage through time was chronicled in the works of the resistance. They hoped that, if they could warn her, Sapna’s rise to power may be aborted before it ever begins. It is their last chance. There is only one way to assure this never happens. When Magik returns to X-Haven, she has to kill Sapna.
Illyana refuses. Sapna is just a girl. She will protect her and make sure this nightmare never comes to pass. Her friends are in danger she has no more time for this insanity! She frees herself and returns to the timestream, even as she hears their fading pleas.
3167 AD:Logan and Iceman are having a hard time fighting Colossus. Trying to impress Jean, Glob charges at Colossus, who swats him to the ground. Next, he threatens Jean, warning her that Apocalypse has made his mind as impenetrable as his body.
That moment, Illyana arrives and warns him he will not lay another hand on them. With a cry of rage, he charges at his sister. Enough! She shouts forcefully as she hits him with her Soulsword. With him down, she asks the others if they are okay. They are glad to see her.
A moment later, Nightcrawler teleports in with Storm and the dying Apocalypse. Logan sensibly asks what Apocalypse is doing with them. Storm stops him before he can attack Apocalypse and explains that, without him, they have no chance to transform Colossus back. They have to take him with them. Logan calls it insane. Storm barks back it is an order and tells Illyana to take them all home. Magik complies and, a moment later, they are in the present on the front lawn of X-Haven.
Forge comes running out and asks what the hell is going on – is that Apocalypse? Storm tells him yes and he has to save him. Magik shouts at him to do it. If he dies, Piotr is lost.
He is already lost, Apocalypse hisses. He lets loose an energy blast that hits Colossus and transport him elsewhere. Logan threatens to kill Apocalypse, who urges him to do it. He has no place here, but Colossus is exactly where he needs to be. He is exactly where he wants him to be…
Colossus is somewhere under a bridge. Robed figures find him and transport him into a temple of sorts. He was exactly where the herald said he would be.
Colossus awakes. The robed men sink to their knees. Give praise, Clan Akkaba, one of them orders. One of the Four has come. War is here. Colossus begins to smile…

untitled
Egypt:An underground temple of Clan Akkaba:Looking at one of the murals, Iceman wonders if those people can see the future. Nightcrawler replies that nothing surprises him anymore.
They hear a weak familiar voice calling for Kurt. They recognize it as Colossus, pleading for help. Kurt runs to toward the voice, despite Bobby’s warning.
Colossus grabs Kurt’s skull and smashes him to the ground, mocking that his faith always was his greatest weakness.
Iceman tries an iceblast but is hit by Colossus, who tells him that he is out of his league. Colossus is about to step on Kurt’s head, announcing he would prefer this not to be him but he has no choice.
Elsewhere:An other-dimensional London in ruins:Possessed by the being called Spectra, Storm has just blasted Magik. Her teammate Jack Craw urges her to do it again. Magik casts a spell and orders Spectra to get out of her friend’s body. Spectra replies she can see why the World-Eater was drawn to Magik. Her soul is black! Wrong answer! Magik replies and blasts her right out of Storm.
Jack Craw calls her a saucy little minx. The rest of his group, Enoch and Anne Tenna, attack. While defending herself, Storm tries to reason with them that they are looking for a lost child. They know nothing of this World-Eater. Anne Tenna accuses her of lying. They are both the World-Eater’s worms! It’s scum like them who tore the Lattice apart in the first place!
Battling Enoch, Magik asks if this place is the Lattice. He orders her to be quiet. The poison of the World-Eater seeps form her lips!
Storm dodges Anne Tenna’s blast, while she warns that, the more they speak, the easier for the World-Eater to get his hooks into them.
Storm joins Illyana and asks if she senses Sapna in this world. Magik replies that her trail goes through the next portal but is fading fast. If they don’t get out of here and follow, she will lose her trail altogether. Storm creates a localized hurricane to blow their foes away, then flies the two of them to the next portal.
X-Haven:Forge’s workshop:From his cage, Apocalypse asks Forge why he is doing this. Forge orders him to shut up. Apocalypse continues, why does he hide here, doing all the grunt work while the others whisk off into adventure? Forge repeats his command. He is thinking. Apocalypse laughs that has always been his curse. Lost in his head while the world keeps spinning around him.
Forge gives an order to Cerebra. Apocalypse continues that they don’t respect Forge. They use him. He is nothing more than their robot. Forge stares at him. Apocalypse continues. He can be so much more. His mind is a greater power than any of theirs, yet they keep him down here, doing their dirty work. Join him and he will make him a king… a god! There is no problem they cannot solve together, not even Ororo Munroe…
Forge asks Cerebra to open the cell then enters it. Apocalypse asks him to free him and in turn he will free Forge. Instead, Forge tapes Apocalypse’s mouth shut with tape and then returns to work.
Egypt:Nightcrawler teleports onto Colossus’ back and announces he still has faith the real him is inside him. Colossus replies, he will always be disappointed and throws him towards Iceman. But Nightcrawler teleports back at the last moment and urges him to fight! Apocalypse is old and infirm! Akkaba is nothing!
Colossus tries to hit him but Nightcrawler teleports to the other side and continues. Forge is working on a way to revert the transformation. Come back to X-Haven!
Finally, Colossus grabs him and manages to throw him against Iceman. X-Haven is doomed, and so are they!
Iceman groans that bamfing made him madder. Kurt agrees and suggests Plan B. Which consists of Anole, Glob Herman and Martha Johansson breaking through the roof and attacking Colossus.
X-Haven:Logan sits outside the mansion and drinks a beer. Jean joins him. He almost didn’t hear her coming. She should have been a ninja. She is a mind ninja, she replies as she sits down. As they look at the vistas of Limbo, she muses it’s almost pretty… if you forget it’s full of demons and stuff. Logan agrees but he has a bad feeling. Something is coming. He’s worried about her, Jean figures. Who? he asks. Rhymes with ‘Form,’ she teases.
Storm can take care of herself, is the gruff reply. Jean points out that doesn’t help. He orders her not to mind-ninja him. Jean laughs, it’s okay to have feelings for her. Who wouldn’t? She’s Storm! Ain’t gonna happen, he replies. Why not? Jean presses, believing Storm feels the same. He reminds her that the last time he loved a woman he watched her die. No way he is ever gonna go through that again. He gets up to leave and suggests she get some sleep. He has a feeling they’ll need it.
Elsewhere:Storm and Magik land in a field full of giant skeletons. Magik announces she believes Sapna is here. Her trail is still fresh. Magik marvels at the size of the corpses. Storm recalls that their foes called the worlds they visited the Lattice. Does that mean anything to her? Illyana admits she has never heard of it or this World-Eater before. The fact that Sapna could find all this so soon after developing her powers is incredible.
They enter through a giant skull’s eyehole, using Illyana’s Soulsword as illumination. She senses something in there. They find a fire that’s still fresh. When Storm warns Illyana of a potential trap, lllyana snaps at her, then apologizes for her attitude. It’s just Piotr… and now Sapna…
Storm hears something. It’s Sapna. She runs towards them and hugs Illyana. She was all alone in the dark! Illyana apologizes. Sapna continues that’s alright. He came and kept her company. Now she’s not scared anymore. She begins to smile nastily and her eyes glow. She blasts Illyana telling her she is so glad she came – like he said. She blast Storm next telling her they don’t need her. But they need this. She grabs Magik’s Soulsword.
Behind her, a tentacle begins rises as Sapna opens a portal. She apologizes to Illyana but she would stand in the way of what they have to do next. But she’ll say ‘hi’ to everyone in Limbo for her. She steps through the portal and announces Illyana is going to have to stay here forever…

untitled
Another dimension:Magik awakens in the darkness. She calls for Storm. Small flames suddenly surround her and a voice tells her she is all alone, all alone like Illyana left her!
The small flames turn into a full-scale conflagration, burning Magik. Even as she recognizes the voice as that of her ward Sapna, Illyana screams…
Reality:… and wakes up for real. Storm tells her that Sapna beat them and left though a dimensional portal. She’s been trying to awake Illyana for the last twenty minutes. Illyana holds her aching head and grimaces while blaming herself. She should not have left Sapna alone at X-Haven and she should not have accelerated her training so aggressively. She should have been more careful… and now that thing has her!
Storm gives her a hug and assures her it is not her fault. She did everything she could to help the girl. It wasn’t enough, Magik insists. Storm replies they have to help and free her then. So how about getting the hell out of here? Illyana agrees and figures Sapna went back to Limbo. She reasons that the thing had Sapna lure them here to get the Soulsword, and to have the Soulsword is to rule Limbo. The portal Sapna and that thing used, is sealed.
Storm reasons there is still the way they came. Magik agrees; they only have to retrace their steps. Storm flies them upward into the sky where they came from. They remember the mystics who attacked them in the last world. They seemed to be enemies of that thing and called it the World Eater. Maybe they can convince them to help them. Illyana adds that, if Storm tells anyone she cried, she will dismember her. That’s her girl! Storm laughs.
Egypt:Glob Herman apologizes before hitting the brainwashed Colossus, while Anole tackles him. Nightcrawler helps but Colossus is about to shake them all off. Fortunately, help comes through the wall in the shape of the Sentinel Cerebra, who grabs Colossus and Nightcrawler (on his back) and teleports them back to Forge’s workshop in X-Haven.
Forge sends Cerebra back to Egypt to get Iceman and the kids after she puts Colossus in a containment tube.
Colossus rages that this can’t hold him. He calms down when his fellow prisoner Apocalypse addresses him. He tells him to calm himself. They are exactly where they need to be. Forge snaps at him to be quiet. Nightcrawler tries to calm him. He points out Apocalypse is trying to distract Forge, as he is the only one who can help Colossus. Embarrassed, Forge looks away, admitting he doesn’t know if he can.
Kurt pleads with him. He has never seen a problem Forge couldn’t solve. He mustn’t let that monster get into his head. He knows all about monsters in his head, doesn’t he? Apocalypse leers at Nightcrawler. Kurt snarls at him that he has already lost. Has he? Apocalypse grins. They need him. Forge will fail. If they want to save their beloved Piotr, only he can help them. It is only a matter of time until they start begging…
Elsewhere, Magik leads Storm through the dimensional gate. Storm believes they are running in circles but Illyana is sure about what she is doing.
They end up in the ruined world of the heroes they’ve faced before, surprising the old man wizard Jack Craw sitting at a campfire. Storm takes him in a headlock as he calls for help and his friends join him. Magik and Storm tell them to stand down. They are all fighting the same enemy, the World Eater.
Jack Craw doesn’t trust them. Illyana pleads with him. The World Eater has their friend, a child! Jack calls for Spectra, who explains she can test if they are telling the truth if they let her. Illyana warns her not to try anything as Spectra touches her forehead. Soon she informs the others she is telling the truth. They come from a world not yet reaped.
Annoyed, Illyana asks why they didn’t do that the first time instead of trying to kill them. Enoch retorts they didn’t stay alive that long in this Lattice by taking chances. Jack Craw explains this place was his home called Amihava, A great city and the home of magic in this world. The other worlds they saw are magical realms connected by the mystical superhighway they call the Lattice. Wherever they came from… this Limbo is a part of the Lattice as well.
Illyana asks about the World Eater. Anne Tenna explains each of their worlds had a different name for it, but it always meant the end of everything. It lives only to consume. It feeds off places where great magic lives. It is anti-magic… anti-life. One by one, it has eaten its way through the Lattice, devouring thousands of worlds, leaving only husks in their wake.
The great irony is that the World Eater is nearly powerless on its own. To move through the Lattice, it requires a host from each world. It took a vessel from each world it consumed. Without such a vessel, it cannot consume or travel the Lattice. Storm asks who they are. The last mystics from each world, Jack Craw explains. Their power saved them but not their homes. So now they do what they can trying to stop it. But so far…
Anne Tenna grimly adds, she fears the child they seek is already lost. The World Eater is using her as its host. Together they will consume their world. Storm asks what happens to a host when it is finished with a world. Jack finally admits there is no hope for their friend. Before the World Eater moves on, it consumes everything. All past hosts are dead!
Angrily, Illyana sends a blast of magic into the air. There has to be a way back! she seethes. She can still sense Limbo right next to this world. She has to keep on trying!
Jack considers Magik’s connection to Limbo. Maybe if they all lend her mystical power, she might reach her world. Storm fears it is too dangerous. Illyana reminds her that it is not just Sapna but X-Haven that will fall. She is ready to do it…
X-HavenCerebra teleports Iceman and the X-kids back. They are welcomed by Martha Johansson and Jean Grey. When Glob shyly greets Jean, Anole tries to play wingman by announcing how brave Glob was in battle. Glob tells him to cool it then calls out to Jean. He rambles while working up his courage trying to ask her out. When Jean grabs her head as though in pain, he stops. She tells him it’s not him. She senses a presence…. Suddenly, she screams in pain and sinks into Glob’s arms as blood spurts form her nose.
In Forge’s workshop, Forge admits that, despite doing tests on Apocalypse, he is still no further to understanding Colossus’ transformation, let alone revert it. Logan urges him to keep on trying, causing Forge to snap at him.
Apocalypse announces the solution is simple. He will turn Colossus back. All they have to do is set him free…
Nightcrawler snarls he will rot down here, when they hear a noise from outside.
A moment later, they too see the possessed Sapna, holding the Soulsword and surrounded by demons.
Glob is looking for help for Jean. Cerebra and the team attack Sapna’s demons and, a dimension away, Illyana urges the magicians to give her all their power.
In Forge’s workshop, Apocalypse tells them to do what he asks. They need Colossus!
A dimension away, Magik screams in pain and Storm shouts at the magicians to stop it. They are killing her!
Jean Grey screams she will consume everything!
And Sapna assures her foes this is the end and, in the end, it all falls…

X-Haven, Limbo:Sapna, under the control of the World Eater, attacks X-Haven. Cerebra tries to evacuate the students. Meanwhile, Old Man Logan grimly tells Iceman there is no help coming and decides to attack Sapna who floats within black energy. Sapna calls him a silly animal and easily takes him down with a blast of black energy. Logan lands at Iceman’s feet.
Inside Forge’s workshop, Nightcrawler announces he needs to go. The imprisoned Apocalypse leers at him to leave Forge in the bowels of this crypt like the X-Men always do. Forge shouts at him to shut up or he will stitch his mouth shut! The also imprisoned Colossus then threatens he will break Forge.
That moment, Glob Herman comes running in carrying a weak Jean Grey. Jean moans they can’t stop it. Its mind is endless, massive and cold. And it has Sapna. She’s going to kill them all!
Elsewhere, the four other-dimensional magic users cast their spell on Magik, helping her to break through to Limbo. She can almost find it but hasn’t the strength. Storm orders them to give her the power to let her be Magik’s lightning rod.
In X-Haven, Nightcrawler tries to calm down Jean Grey, who shouts there is no hope. Only darkness!
Outside, Cerbra fires at Sapna, who is surrounded by the World Eater to no avail. She easily returns the energy.
In Forge’s workshop, Apocalypse tells them this is the end. Set him free and he will give them Colossus back.
Outside, Sapna looks around suddenly hearing thunder. A lightning bolt hits her, a portal opens and Storm and Magik arrive together with the magicians. Get the hell away from her school! Storm orders.
Anne Tenna supports the weakened Storm. Magik tells the other magicians to protect the school. And leave her alone to face this? Enoch asks. Magik exerts her will and the Soulsword leaves Sapna and comes flying to her hand. This is her domain, Magik announces. She is the only one who can stop her.
Unimpressed, the World Eater warns her that thousands of sorcerers and heroes have tried. They are dead like their worlds. Magik replies that she hasn’t come for it but for Sapna. As she attacks the World Eater, she tells the girl not to be afraid.
Sapna pleads with her she doesn’t want to do this. Magik tells her to take her hand and come back to her. Sapna grabs her wrist and calls her a sentimental fool. As she blasts Illyana, the World Eater speaks, claiming Sapna hates her. It informs Magik that it had its eyes on this world for a long time. Originally, it had chosen Magik to be its host. To control her means to control Limbo. But then she took in that girl and she was so weak, so vulnerable. It blasts her again, as it leers that later Magik introduced Sapna to magic. It was so easy to seduce her, to devour her soul…
In Forge’s workshop, Apocalypse repeats his ultimatum. He will never change Colossus back… unless they set him free.
Nightcrawler asks Forge if he can change back Piotr. Forge blusters that he isn’t seriously considering… Kurt repeats his question. Can he do it or not? Forge admits he can’t, but they can’t make a deal with Apocalypse! Kurt replies that Piotr is his best friend. He cannot leave him like that. And it wouldn’t be the first time he sold his soul…
Outside, the World Eater is still attacking X-Haven and Illyana tries to get through to Sapna. The World Eater shouts that her words mean nothing! Storms screams at Magik that it is destroying the school!
In the workshop:Nightcrawler tells Apocalypse he has won.
Outside, Magik begs Sapna to not make her do this, while the alien wizards fear this world is going to be destroyed as well.
Forge’s Workshop:Nightcrawler orders Forge to trust him and do it. Colossus has no wish to be changed back. Apocalypse tells him he has been loyal. Now it is time to rest. He uses his power on Colossus, who screams and changes back.
Apocalypse demands to be released. Nightcrawler teleports into his cage, grabs him and teleports outside, where he tosses him into the dimensional vortex around the World Eater.
Magik tells Sapna she is sorry, then strikes her with the Soulsword. Sapna addresses Illyana, then sinks down dead in Illyana’s arms. The World Eater is gone, Illyana cries and Storm, Logan and Iceman look on silently.
In the workshop, a restored Colossus happily greets Nightcrawler, watched by a relieved, Forge, Glob Herman and Jean.
Three days later, Storm comes to the decision that X-Haven is a failure, they almost lost the school… they cannot stay here. Jean asks about the Terrigen Mists. Storm replies they have hidden too long. It is time they reclaimed their place in the world.
Nightcrawler feels guilty admitting it but he is happier than he has been in a long time. He missed Piotr. Colossus missed him too, but right now he is worried about his sister, who sits alone staring at her Soulsword. Suddenly, a voice from inside the sword addresses Illyana. It’s Sapna...

untitled
X-Haven, a refuge in Limbo where many mutants currently live, several of whom already illy due to the Terrigen Mists.One teenage girl, Alisha Jackson, sits in the tent she shares with her mother and her younger mutant sister Maya. Alisha recalls how the X-Men had contacted her family and offered them a place to live. First her mother had refused, but then her sister grew sick and the neighborhood found out Maya was a mutant. So they called the X-Men and they brought h family to X-Haven. Despite everything they tried, however, nobody, not even the healers, could cure Maya’s illness.
Maya lies in bed feverish and weakly asks if she is here.
Her mother and sister put a wet cloth on her brow and tell her to sleep. Alisha promises her she will soon come. When Maya sleeps her mother chides Alisha for making such promises. Where is she going? Alisha replies, she promised to save them, so she is going to find her. She’s going to find Storm!
That moment, Storm, Forge and Old Man Logan are teleported back onto mansion grounds, welcomed by Iceman and Magik, who asks what happened. Not now, is Storm’s curt response. Not now? Iceman repeats. They just went to a secret meeting between the bigwigs that Beast called on Muir Isle – and he can’t believe he wasn’t invited – and now she won’t even tell them what happened? Clearly overwhelmed, Storm tells them that she needs to regroup. She asks them to gather the others. They will meet in fifteen minutes.
Illyana insists she tell them now. Are they going to war with the Inhumans or not? Storm admits she doesn’t know. What does she mean she doesn’t know? Iceman demands. Logan orders him to back off. She had a rough day. She had to zap one of her best friends.
Forge wanders off, announcing he has preparations to make.
Would someone please just tell them what’s going on? Bobby shouts. Logan tells him and Illyana to prepare for the worst.
Alisha walks into the mansion past many mutants. Alisha tries to address her but Storm tells her this is not a good time and suggests she get someone from the support staff. Alisha tries to explain, but Logan tells Storm they need to talk now. Fine, her office, she decides. They then walk there, leaving Alisha behind.
The young woman reluctantly leaves the mansion, recalling how her sister was excited to come here despite the M-pox. Maya’s power manifested young, she always wanted to be a superhero and Storm was her favorite. She wanted to meet Storm, but they never met any X-Men. They were always on missions. And now she is going to have to tell Maya she won’t meet Storm before she… Angrily, she turns around. She promised.
In her office, Storm explains to Logan she knows the others need to be told If they are really going to war with the Inhumans. It’s going to happen fast, but she needed a moment to gather herself. “If?” he repeats and bluntly tells her they are past that. It’s going to happen; they are out of time. This ain’t a matter of “if” anymore. Either the Inhumans’ Terrigen Cloud goes or mutants do. Storm stresses she knows that. So why does he get the feeling she isn’t sure, he asks. Because war goes against everything she is, Storm admits. This is not just some battle against Mr. Sinister or Apocalypse. She swore to protect these people, not send them to war!
He sits down on the desk beside her. War may be the only way to protect them, he points out. It doesn’t seem heroic, she muses. He points out that being a hero ain’t as simple as it used to be.
Storm fears, if they go after the Inhumans, there will be no going back to how it was at the beginning, but then it hasn’t been that way for a long time… He promises to follow her lead, whatever she decides.
Alisha enters the mansion. She sees several youngsters standing around Jean Grey. She has figured out the mutants have cliques like anyone. And as far as the young ones are concerned, the coolest kid is the redhead.
She addresses Jean and tries to explain what she wants but, before she can finish, Jean kindly shuts her down, explaining they are about to have an X-Men meeting, maybe they can talk some other time.
They walk off until Alisha screams why won’t someone listen to her. Her sister is going to die! They turn around and, crying, she asks if they can help her find Storm.
Soon, Alisha enters her family’s tent. Her mother warns her she doesn’t think Maya has much time. Then Storm enters and apologizes for not having come sooner. Maya smiles broadly when she sees her. Storm strokes her head and announces she has heard a lot about her. Her sister told her a lot when they walked over here. She wants to join the X-Men? Maya agrees. She explains she can see through everything. Storm agrees that is a very useful power. Has she thought of a mutant codename yet? Lucid, Maya immediately replies. Storm announces she is making her officially a member of the team, as Alisha quietly observes that Maya is about to die. Maya dies as happy as she can.
Storm’s anger and grief manifest as lightning and a thunderstorm outside. She steps out of the tent and informs the X-Men that Maya is gone then tells them to listen. They all know that they have been waging a battle against the effects of the Terrigen cloud. She brought them to Limbo assuming they could find a way to reverse the effects of the M-Pox. She thought they could live in peace. She thought they could find a way to work with the Inhumans to stop the death and sickness. Just now, she held the hands of one of them, a brave little girl named Lucid, as she succumbed to the M-Pox. And that moment she finally admitted to herself that they have failed.
There is no safe haven or cure. She swore to keep them safe and there is only one way to do that. What they are about to do will divide the world even further. She can understand any who wish to stay behind. Logan assures her they are with her. Storm announces, today they go to war.

X-Haven:In his workshop, Forge is working while musing how his power works. While it may not seem as flashy, he does make the impossible real and for that you’d think they’d give him a little respect.
Storm joins him and asks if he is almost finished. He retorts that she should be careful about sneaking up on him. He’s liable to spotweld his fingers together. She apologizes perfunctorily and asks if the machine is ready. He needs a few more minutes.
She explains the Terrigen Cloud is following the projected path. He needs to load the machine in the jet and get moving, if he is to intercept it in time.
Why not just have Cerebra teleport him and the machine there? he asks. She replies they are going to need Cerebra for crowd control on the strike against New Attilan. She turns to leave and he calls out to her. That’s it? he asks. He builds a machine that is going to save them all and she just pops down here, barks a few orders and walks away? She is preparing to go to war! she snaps. Something she despises! That goes against every fiber of her being. What more exactly does he want? Chastened, he admits she is right, but they are going to war. There is no telling if they are going to all make it. He just thought… He wants to hash out their relationship now? she asks angrily. She is right, he agrees. Of course not.
Good, she states. If his machine works, they will all make it out alive. She adds that she is going to send anther X-Man with him; they need to be ready for trouble. Forge rolls his eyes when he learns his bodyguard is Old Man Logan.
Later, on the plane en route to Alberta, Canada:Apart from asking how far out they are,  the two are silent. Let’s have it, Logan finally announces. They’ve been dancing around this thing for weeks. He wants to talk about Ororo? Let’s get this over with!
Forge admits that Storm is not on his mind for once. There’s something else he’s been meaning to ask Logan, but he’s not sure he really wants to know the answer. What, Logan simply asks. Forge continues: in Logan’s future, after the villain uprising when he was tricked into killing the X-Men at the mansion, was Forge there? Did he kill him too? Logan demurs. Forge presses on. Does he know what happened to him in the future?
Logan replies, it doesn’t matter. He spent the last year trying to avoid that future and what he learned is it’s now that matters. Forge gets that but still wants to know. Logan sighs. He doesn’t know for sure, but there were stories…
Old Man Logan’s narration:He told them the villain armies spread across the major cities. Wiped the good guys out first. In the years that followed, they spread out across the country. He heard about a particularly brutal group of villains in the New Mexico Badlands… the worst of the worst, they were butchers… they were the Rhino Gang. Yeah, that Rhino. He left New York and, before he knew it, he ruled his own patch of hell in the wastelands. Word was that he led his gang of degenerates through Arizona and into New Mexico, expanding his territory one dustbowl town at a time, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.
But Logan also heard tell of one holdout in the desert. An old Cheyenne reservation in the South Dakota Badlands. They say there was a mad scientist there. A warrior shaman who was hellbent on stopping Rhino and protecting his people.
Rhino attacked the reservation thinking it was easy pickings. He never knew what hit him. The mad scientist had rigged the whole reservation with high tech defenses. Rhino’s men had grown complacent, believing themselves invulnerable. The mad scientist showed them how wrong they were. But the warrior shaman was just getting started. He wanted to make an example of them. Using an exo-skeleton, he killed them all.
In the years to come, the reservation became a stronghold, a refuge for the lost and needy. Nobody ever heard of Rhino again. Never heard what the scientist’s name was… but he knew.End of narration.
And he never thought to come lend a hand? Forge demands. Believe it or not, he had a few problems of his own to deal with, Logan shoots back. Fair enough, Forge admits. So the moral of this story is… that he’s a total badass, huh? Logan tells him to hold on to his ego, while he lands the plane.
Outside, he asks if Forge has got this. Forge replies he just needs to unload and calibrate the machine. They have a few hours before the Terrigen Cloud arrives. Logan announces he will do a perimeter sweep. Forge calls after him and thanks him for sharing that. He knows things have been tense between them. Logan tells him to stop – he’s getting him all misty-eyed. He leaves and Forge begins to work.
Suddenly, Cerebra and Storm land. Storm claims she wanted to make sure all preparations are going well. He assures her everything is fine. She could have comm.’ed him. Storm asks Cerebra to help Logan with the perimeter check. Cerebra does it without moving, until Storm makes it clear she wants to speak to Forge alone.
Forge remarks that, this morning, she barely had two seconds to talk to him and now she teleports here minutes before she leads a strike on New Attilan? What’s going on? She admits she has been treating him horribly since they started this team. She avoided him. She’s taken him for granted. Through all they’ve done, she could not have done it without him. He is their rock. She’s been pushing him away because it’s easier than to deal with how she really feels. He was right this morning; they are going to war. There is no telling how this will end They may not all make it out alive. She hugs him, surprising him.
She does not know what will happen when this is all over, but she once loved him very much. So much has happened since then, but a part of her always will. Having said that, she wishes him good luck and leaves with Cerebra.
Logan returns, asking what he missed. Nothing much, Forge grins. All quiet here.

Iceland:The X-Men are attacking the Inhumans. Magik is at the front, swinging her Soulsword. Suddenly, she hears a voice calling her, coming from within her sword. She recognizes the voice of Sapna, who asks for her help.A moment later, Illyana finds herself drawn to a dark place. Where are they? she demands. Inside her Sword, Sapna tells her. Magik insists that she can’t be here. They are fighting the Inhumans. Sapna tells her not to worry - her body is still outside. She’ll be okay.Incredulous, Magik points out she is in the middle of a battle - she could be killed! Sapna promises she won’t be hurt. Time moves slower in here. They have time.Illyana urges that the X-Men need her. The young girl replies that she needs her too. She is alone in here.Illyana apologizes but she had no choice. The World Eater… Sapna interrupts, noting she isn’t mad. If Illyana hadn’t acted, Sapna would have destroyed X-Haven and killed everybody. And besides, when the World Eater was possessing her, it was so terrible! This place is lonely, but it’s much better than that. But it’s all going to be okay, now Illyana is with her. She is not alone anymore. Illyana points out, she can’t stay here. Even if time moves slower, she has to return to the battle.The girl stubbornly replies she doesn’t want her to ever leave. Enraged, she asks why she gets to go and Sapna has to stay there, dead and alone. Illyana replies she did the best she could. She understands Sapna is angry and hurt, but she won’t keep her against her will. Sapna’s eyes and hands glow as she shouts Illyana doesn’t get to make the rules anymore.Illyana tries to cam her but Sapna screams and lashes out. Illyana orders her to stop. Sapna apologizes but she won’t let her go.Suddenly, there is a quake. Sapna isn’t doing this. Illyana points to the image of the battle. The Inhuman Crystal is attacking her. The battle may move slowly, but it still moves. She has to go back to her body or Crystal may kill her, Illyana pleads.Sapna bursts out, then Illyana could stay with her. Shocked, Illyana replies that she can’t want that. That isn’t the persons she is. She offers Sapna let her go back to deal with this and later she will return to help her and they’ll figure this out together.Sapna hesitates. They are hit by another shockwave. Illyana urges her and Sapna relents, but just a minute, she warns her.Illyana finds herself back in her body being attacked by Crystal, who is trying to tell her something. Unimpressed, Magik hits her with her sword.Inferno attacks her in retaliation for trapping the Royal Family in Limbo. Logan tackles him, after Colossus throws him in a fastball special. Colossus suggests she focus while they both fight. Illyana tells him that, if they make it out of this and there is something wrong with her, he should contact Dr. Strange. Instead of explaining, she tells him she loves him. As she feels her soul being dragged away, she tells him to remember Dr. Strange. She is in the sword!Sapna figures it will be okay now; Colossus will protect Magik’s body. And she can take care of Sapna in here. Ilyana kneels down and tells her she wants to take care of her. She wishes she could travel back in time, prevent Sapna getting M-pox and going to X-Haven where the Worldeater found her and she eventually had to kill her. Why doesn’t she then? the little girl asks. Because she is just a person like her, not a god, Illyana replies, and some things are meant to be. They found each other for a reason and this is not the end. It feels like the end, Sapna admits. Everything is scary and she is alone. Illyana tells her she is not alone. They have each other. Sapna points out that she says that, but Illyana will leave her again, and she will be alone here.Illyana has an idea. It’s not a perfect solution but, once they have settled things with the Inhumans, maybe she can find a way to save her. She asks Sapna to trust her. Sapna takes her hand. Illyana warns her if this works, she will probably be the only one who can see or talk to Sapna. She’s all she needs, Sapna replies. Illyana tells her to hold on.Illyana awakes in her body and shouts for Sapna. She can see and hear the little girl in ghost form. Happy, Magik rejoins the battle.

The Trial of Cyclops
(in Cyclops' dream)Scott Summers has a recurring dream. He knows it is a dream, but it feels real. He is being dragged into an angry town. He doesn't know what he did to deserve the hangman, and decides maybe being deserving has nothing to do with it. The town is called Timely. As he is pulled along by the hangman, Scott looks over to a fortune-telling machine, and wonders if this is just fate. Dragged into the courtroom, filled with townsfolk, Scott gets to say his piece – but it doesn't matter. The fix is in. the judge is someone he recognizes, someone he thought he knew. Charles Xavier stands at the bench, raising the gavel. Alongside him are Dr. Stasis, Dr. Moira MacTaggert, Omega Sentinel and M.O.D.O.K. 'Guilty on all these counts. My, oh my. Look at them all' Dr. Stasis calls out as he looks down the long list of charges. Scott has been thrown to the wolves – and “justice” will be swift.Scott has been taken to the galley, tied to the rope which is strung up to the beam above him. The townsfolk have gathered in front of the platform to watch. Scott thinks that he should be scared – but he isn't. He is an innocent man. A woman in a white bonnet smiles. She has red hair and a phoenix symbol on her brooch. The world then drops out from under Scott's feet – but despite the trapdoor underneath him lowered, Scott does not fall.(Reality)Scott Summers wakes up. But he isn't doing much more than in his dreams. He is wearing one of his old Cyclops costumes, blue spandex, yellow trunks and boots. The doors to the van that he is being transported in open. He knows that he was thousands of miles from the Hellfire Gala when he felt Jean die – but he has felt Jean die before, and death doesn't suit her.Cyclops stares out at the scene before him. Two barriers have been set up, creating a path towards the Palais du Justice where his trial will take place. Behind one of the barriers, people who have come out in support of the X-Men. On the others, anti-mutant protestors. Two large Stark Sentinels guard the doors to the Palais. Orchis has Cyclops right where they want him – on trial – and all of mutantdom are his co-defendants. He is playing along, buying the resistance time to strike back. What makes the Orchis threat so insidious is the way they make everyone cheer at mutantkind's suffering. 'Humans like their symbolism. This is Paris – where they tried Magneto. This time, the trial will go their way, but the war will not'.(Then)The Krakoan Age was remarkable for the advancement in mutant technology. By combining their powers into circuits, the mutants formed a nation that was carbon negative and spanned several worlds. There is a consensus among historians that the primordial circuit in mutant technology was the “fastball special” - the name of the physical attack where Colossus pitched Wolverine with uncanny accuracy at a target.(Now)In the dark days following the third Hellfire Gala of the Krakoan era, Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus and Logan a.k.a. Wolverine were infiltrating the sewers under the Paris courthouse, and their dark moods led them to invert the fastball special, though they were having a difficult time coming up with a name for it. In this instance, Colossus picks up a Orchis agent who opens fire at him, then hurls the agent down the tunnel. 'How about – the pinata special?' Colossus suggests. 'Awful!' Wolverine snarls as his claws slash through the Orchis agent, tearing the agent to pieces. The remains of the Orchis agent collapse into the watery substance on the tunnel floor, and Wolverine tells Colossus that was a terrible name. 'I thought you Russians were poets' Wolverine adds. Colossus explains that he is not feeling very poetic. 'I reckon not' Wolverine agrees, before Colossus suggests that they go liberate Cyclops. 'What if we called that move the “screwball special”?' Wolverine proposes. 'Why?' Colossus asks. 'Cus they were screwed' Wolverine explains. 'Da' Colossus agrees.His wrists chained to a table in a small room, Cyclops is visited by an armed Orchis agent, who informs him that someone has come to see him. 'Is it a tall, smart, funny redhead with sharp objects floating around her?' Cyclops asks. 'No' the Orchis agent tells him, before Dr. Alia Gregor and Karima Shapandar the Omega Sentinel enter the room. Cyclops tells Dr. Gregor that this may surprise her, but that she has been on his mind. 'Oh? Do tell. Have you been replaying making me a widow over and over?' Dr. Gregor asks. 'No' Cyclops replies, matter-of-factly telling Dr. Gregor that he has no memory of leading the assault on the Mother Mold. 'Some of us paid more than others' Dr. Gregor mutters as she sips her coffee. 'I know. Grief is a heavy set of chains' Cyclops responds. 'Don't you dare!' Dr. Gregor snaps. 'Let me tell you – because of our sacrifice, the last human has died because of mutant aggression. I'm not having a hard time. Don't pretend to know me!''Sorry, I thought I caught a whiff of bourbon on your morning coffee' Cyclops replies, calmly, before asking Dr. Gregor why she is here – if not to discuss the why. 'And why is Omega Sentinel accompanying you?' he asks. 'I'm wondering the same thing, honestly' Omega Sentinel admits. Dr. Gregor scowls and informs Cyclops that they are here because she wanted to see him, and to tell him that she lost the battle, and a husband, but that she has won the war. 'I think you came here for something else' Cyclops states. 'And what would that be?' Dr. Gregor asks. 'A human interaction. With a man experiencing his own profound grief' Cyclops reveals.Dr. Gregor remains silent, before Cyclops asks what will happen after – when the last mutant is dead under her heels. 'I'm not sure. I suppose... mankind exhales and lives happily ever after' Dr. Gregor smirks. Cyclops smiles, which cause Dr. Gregor to screw up her paper disposable coffee cup and ask Cyclops if that is a funny idea to him – human happiness. 'My question wasn't for you' Cyclops announces, causing the Omega Sentinel to stand up and suggest to Dr. Gregor that they leave, adding that Cyclops is needed back in court.Meantime, at the Green Lagoon, Krakoa:Charles Xavier looks out across the abandoned island, water falling from the cliffs nearby. 'No more... No more...' he utters, before screaming 'NO MORE!' and telepathically announcing that it is time: 'To me, my X-Man!' and contacting Rasputin IV, informing her that he needs her. But at that moment, the chimera mutant is hovering above the Palais du Justice, and informs X that she has a critical role in the rescue mission. Xavier tells Rasputin IV that he knows she has been splitting her time between their work and the X-Men, and promises her that they can save them all – but only if she joins him right now. 'You must trust me. We can fix everything' Xavier declares. 'Very well' Rasputin IV responds, before she flies away from the courthouse.'Awright, Rasputin. Pete and I are in position. We're ready for you to phase Cyclops down to us' Wolverine tells Rasputin via a psi-link, but gets no response. 'Rasputin?' Wolverine calls out as he and Colossus stand on edge in the tunnels below the courthouse. Wolverine tells Colossus that something is wrong. He sniffs the air and realizes that they have company. 'Soldiers, cordite, and something else, big and heavy, rumbling toward us -' Wolverine begins, before an explosion ripples down the tunnel and blasts Wolverine and Colossus backwards. When the dust settles, Wolverine and Colossus look up and see as large tank down the tunnel with several Orchis agents. 'Aw crud' Wolverine snarls, before Colossus asks if that is an electromagnet. The tank emits a pulse which slams Wolverine and Colossus up against the tunnel wall. 'Yeah, and it's a hell of a strong one' Wolverine points out.'For humanity!' an Orchis agent shouts as he unleashes a flame-thrower, which sends fire blazing across Wolverine, who cries out in agony. Orchis agents look on and laugh, when suddenly, Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler teleports behind them, and notes that it would appear they have lost Rasputin IV, and must adapt their plan. He kicks one of the Orchis agents over, then slices his sword across the front of the electromagnet tank, destroying the weapon that is keeping Wolverine and Colossus stuck to the wall. 'And perhaps even launch the invasion of Earth, while Cyclops is still a prisoner' Nightcrawler notes. 'Unacceptable!' Colossus calls out, while Wolverine, part of his body burnt, holds his claws outstretched and boasts that he will kill them all. 'Let these Orchis cowards run!' Colossus shouts as he knocks of the tank. 'And tell all the murderers in red that anybody aligned with fascism will die squirming under my foot!' he adds. 'Mein freund... I fear that you -' Nightcrawler begins, to which Wolverine tells him that there can be no more fear – from this moment on, Orchis are the ones who will fear. 'Then... to war!' Nightcrawler announces as he stands beside his friends and teleports away.Inside the courtroom, the prosecutor is wrapping up his case, stating that not only has he proven beyond a reasonable doubt that mutants are a menace, but that they are an invasive foreign species. He notes that the secret rulers of Krakoa, the so-called “Quiet Council” admitted as much when they stole Mars away and turned it into a home for mutantdom's wayward cousins, and adds that Cyclops admits he is the leader of the X-Men. 'All these crimes stem from his poisoned fruit' the prosecutor declares, before informing the judge that the prosecution rests. The judge announces that the defense may beg, and Cyclops stands up, stating that he will offer no defense. 'I'm not dignifying any of that nonsense with a response. I know there is good in humanity... but I am not being prosecuted by it'.The judge reminds Cyclops that he warned him that if he follows through with this non-tactic, that he will surely be found guilty in this capital case. 'I can only be judged by one soul... and I do not think you'd like to meet her' Cyclops responds.Meanwhile, aboard the Bloom, the Orchis Space Station:'Huzzah! We got what we wanted! Krakoa is guilty – and mutants are guilty!' Dr. Stasis exclaims as he raises a bottle of champagne. Dr. Gregor and Feilong hold their champagne flutes up, as does M.OD.O.K. Wo hovers above them. Omega Sentinel and Nimrod stand off to the side. Dr. Stasis pours a glass of wine for Feilong and tells him that after the court case, the history books won't be a problem anymore. 'Ben Urich can write whatever drivel he wants'. Dr. Gregor glances over at Nimrod as Omega Sentinel asks 'Why wait to celebrate?' and instructs Nimrod to go kill Krakoa. 'My pleasure, Omega Sentinel' Nimrod responds. 'Then we celebrate on Sentinel City' Omega Sentinel declares as Nimrod vanishes – and Dr. Gregor looks on, concerned.Shortly, at the Quiet Council Chambers on Krakoa, Nimrod lands, to the surprise of the manifestation of Krakoa, the face that looks down on the chambers in the form of a tree. 'Hey there, you big, dumb island. I wish I could say this won't hurt Krakoa... but I don't want to lie' Nimrod calls out as his right hand re-forms into that of a large blade, like a scalpel. But as Nimrod runs towards Krakoa, the mutant island spits something at Nimrod, engulfing the future Sentinel in amber.'Unit disabled! He got me!' Nimrod exclaims. Krakoa rises up in tree form and says something to Nimrod, before slamming a foot down on Nimrod, plunging him into the earth. Nimrod reports that he has been disabled. 'And we got a runner!' he adds as Krakoa's manifestation begins running across the island.For months, the X-Men have had their backs to the wall. Mutants are dead and scattered. Now, a weakened and diminished Krakoa is running for its life. Krakoa is not just the living home of mutantkind, but the promise of a mutant future, united by peaceful coexistence. But humanity did not want coexistence. Krakoa then leaps off the island, and into the ocean, where it begins to swim.Across the planet, Dr. Alia Gregor's voice is heard through several Stark Sentinels, informing the people of Earth that while they slept, the world changed. 'We were lulled into a false sense of security because of a few good things that the mutants did, but they did not care for you and I. Krakoa has been proven to be an invasive alien species – and Orchis is pulling it from Earth's garden' Dr. Gregor announces. She reports that the next few hours will be uncomfortable, and while Orchis does not relish the threat of violence, but the tree of liberty is dry, and she thirsts for righteous vengeance. 'Krakoa will be eradicated, and the mutants who don't leave the planet peacefully will be liquidated. This is their final warning'.'Well, Sugah. Everything might've gone to hell – but at least we knocked Orchis' hoods off' Rogue remarks, noting that they didn't get Cyclops. She pilots a jet, with her husband Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit at her side. Kate Pryde a.k.a. Shadowkat sits behind them, and the rest of the seats are taken up by Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Colossus. Shadowkat asks what happened to Rasputin IV, and Colossus agrees that he would like that question answered. 'What happened to Iron Man's big plan?' Gambit enquires. Shadowkat reports that he is executing it now. She adds that they weren't ready for the invasion yet, but it is all falling apart, so they have to go now. She notes that they are over London now, and there are several gates she can use to rally the troops. She begins to phase through the jet and announces that she will have Emma start the comms. 'Good luck, everybody' she adds, while Wolverine turns to her and tells her that he will see her on the other side. 'Don't die out there... if the survival of our people is in doubt. If we lose today – we lose it all'.Kate Pryde begins rallying the resistance by using the Krakoan Gate system. 'Game on, Mr. and Mrs. X' she calls out as she phases into the Hellfire Club where Emma Frost and Tony Stark are. And on Planet Arakko, where she finds Woofer, and tells him that it is time, to be ready for Forge's fleet coming from deep space. 'We're ready' the green-skinned mutant responds. At the ruins of the X-Mansion,:'Nice gun, Juggernaut' Kate calls out as she locates the Juggernaut, who tells her that he smashed into one of Cable's armories. 'Go be unstoppable, Big Guy' Kate smiles.In New York City, several heroes can be seen protecting civilians while others attack one of the Stark Sentinels. Sam Wilson a.k.a. Captain America looks on as Kamala Khan extends her arms around several people to protect them from a nearby explosion. Monet St. Croix can be seen flying towards one of the Stark Sentinels.Suddenly, Emma Frost's telepathic projection can be heard:' Hello darlings. If you can hear my beautiful voice in your head, then – welcome to the resistance' she begins. She reveals that she is touching so many beautiful mutant and human minds. 'Keep resisting' she urges them, before explaining that they might be fighting earlier than they would prefer, but she has the utmost confidence in their abilities. 'We will succeed. We must. The whole world is at stake, and we must be nothing less than fabulous'. Emma tells everyone that they are fighting off extinction, and that in the hours to come, if their backs are against the wall, then call her, and she will put her thumb on the scale. 'Help will be by your side' she assures them.Shadowkat then arrives on Island M: 'Polaris! It's time – oh no!' she exclaims, before sighing, when she sees Polaris' costume lying on the floor. 'We needed you... where did you run off to?' Kate wonders.Knowhere, on the far side of Jupiter, where inside the decapitated head of a Celestial an ancient evil lurks. The Brood – they are the most hated parasites in the universe. Not long ago, they fell under the control of a mutant named Broo, who now looks down over the Brood, when suddenly, a doorway opens. 'Jean! Is that you? I was beginning to worry you wouldn't come back for -' Broo begins, before realizing that the person who has arrived is not Jean Grey. 'Oh, it's you! You're the last person I expected to come out this way' he remarks. The new arrival is Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, wearing a new Magneto-inspired costume complete with long flowing cape and helmet. She informs Broo that Jean is dead. 'But those of us who live... we resist'. She then asks Broo if he is ready to go to war. Adjusting his glasses, Broo confirms that he is, and informs Polaris that Jean saved him, and these Brood. In specatcular display, Polaris opens up the side of Knowhere, and with a powerful magnetic shield around herself and Broo, flies out into open space, where she declares 'Then – to war!'

Long Games End
The Bloom, space-HQ of Orchis, where Dr. Stasis sits in the command chair aboard the bridge, with M.O.D.O.K. floating at his side. Dr. Stasis remarks that it is wonderful that Feilong has abandoned ship to kill one man – Tony Stark – who built some fancy new suit for himself right under Feilong's nose. Dr. Stasis notes that the mutants have thrown some kind of space junk at the station, and boasts that they have a deflector array on the Bloom capable of pushing any hunk of metal out of the way, and instructs M.O.D.O.K. to make it so. The large floating head announces that the deflector array is working properly, but that the object is not deflecting. Dr. Stasis sighs, and asks one of the Orchis agents to put the troublesome object on screen. 'That does look irksome' Dr. Stasis mutters as the screen lights up, showing Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, hovering in space, with the Celestial head known as Knowhere behind her.'Oh my god!' one of the Orchis agents screams, while M.O.D.O.K. frowns and reports that Polaris' power and the mass of the Celestial will almost assuredly overwhelm the Bloom's shields. 'How long do we have?' Dr. Stasis asks, before the Bloom is rocked by a powerful pulse. Dr. Stasis declares that the fleet of Arakko hid Stark's Sentinel Buster armor, and so this space-faring skull must be the mutant reinforcements they eexpected. 'Kill every mutant you see!' he shouts. Knowhere has indeed crashed inot the Bloom, and multiple explosions begin to rage across the space station. NASA keeps a live view Earth orbit for classrooms around the world. The arrival of a giant decapitated Celestial skull caused a lot of anxiety, but the screaming really begins when the skull starts chewing on the Bloom.'You could run, you know' Polaris suggests as she flies through the Bloom, avoiding fires with her magnetic force field. 'She's invulnerable!' one of the Orchis agents opens fire, but their bullets bounce off the force field. 'How observant – she is' Polaris responds, to which another agent suggests that Polaris will have to lower the force field when the mutants board. 'Load the Blightswill rounds!' they call out. Polaris smirks and then orders 'To me – my Brood!' Polaris is powerful, and could easily have destroyed the Orchis station, but risked losing the bulk of the fascist agents in escape pods. So she has crippled the station in orbit and has let the Brood off their leash, as they storm the station and begin to attack the Orchis agents. 'Switch out the anti-mutie rounds! Keep firing!' one of the agents calls out as they open fire.'What did we learn today, gentlemen?' Polaris asks as she throws a magnetic field around herself and several of the Brood. 'That firing metal at the new master of magnetism has poor results' she tells them. One of the agents crawls along the floor in front of Polaris, clutching their wounds. Polaris drops down and lifts the agent's face towards her as she asks 'Where is the clone of Sinister? Where is Dr. Stasis? He and I have a date!' The Orchis agent reports that Dr. Stasis is aboard, that he just saw him run from the command deck.At that moment, an Orchis shuttle can be seen outside the exploding station, and someone aboard the shuttle reports that they launched with prisoners before they were attacked. 'Do you copy?' the agent asks, before telling his fellow agents that there is no response, so they are on their own. Several other agents can be seen, with Logan a.k.a. Wolverine held prisoner in a large set of restraints. 'We could turn around, but I've never run from a fight, and those are pureblood humans under threat on that station' the agent declares. He turns to the others and tells them that it will be a hot landing zone on the Bloom, and that the X-Men threw some sort of haunted skull at them, not to mention there was a bioweapon inside. Wolverine begins to laugh, and the agent asks him if he thinks this is funny. 'Maybe we ought to just air-lock this runt that Bob found' the agent suggests, aiming a weapon at Wolverine. 'And miss out on cashing in the bounty Dr. Stasis put on him?' another of the agents asks. 'Sir, Bob is like – half a foot shorter than this guy who captured the Wolverine' a different agent reports.The tall agent covered in the red Orchis armor looks down at the others and responds 'I am also a “Bob,” uh, bub'. Wolverine rolls his eyes and frowns: 'I toldja this wouldn't work' he mutters, before Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus drops his disguise, ripping the Orchis costume off of himself and reminds Wolverine that his plan was to kill his way onto the Bloom. 'Woulda worked!' Wolverine responds as he unsheathes his claws and frees himself from the restraints. 'But sneaking on and killing our way off his smarter' Colossus replies. Wolverine draws blood as he slashes his way through the Orchis agents and tells Colossus that he is finished sneaking, and finishing this the only way he knows how. Bullets bounce off of Colossus as he asks where Nightcrawler is. 'He teleported into the hold' Wolverine responds, when suddenly, Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler appears, teleporting in and rejoining his friends. 'But I'll be right back' he adds as he grabs one of the Orchis agents and teleports him out into open space.When he teleports back into the shuttle, Nightcrawler offers to search for Firestar, and Wolverine remarks that he has a bad feeling about her, before stating that he and Colossus will search and destroy. Colossus notes that the shuttle has docked, and tells his friends to get behind him. From the flames ahead of the trio, more Orchis agents appear, and one of them tells the X-Men that they can board without a fight. 'We just want off this madhouse!' he calls out. 'I'm afraid you missed the last stop' Colossus responds, as several Brood appear and tear through the Orchis agents. 'Did I miss a meeting? We're deploying the Brood?' Colossus asks. Wolverine explains that they are under the control of Broo, and that he trusts him. 'They're only under control until they're not' Nightcrawler remarks.Suddenly, Polaris appears, coffee in hand, she greets her teammates and tells them that the Brood were not part of the cute little battle plans drawn up in the Morlock Tunnels, but they are all improvising ever since the plan moved up. 'By the by, the Orchis coffee is $#&%' Lorna adds, before announcing that she is here to kill Firestar. 'What're you doing?' she asks. 'Great minds – but actually, Firestar has been a double agent for the entire time' Nightcrawler informs Polaris, explaining that Jean implanted memories into Stasis' head before she died. 'That is the most Jean thing I've ever heard' Polaris smiles, before offering to hold off destroying the station until Firestar and any other civilians are off. 'Then I'm going to drop-kick this whole thing into the sun' she announces, before asking who is saving Krakoa and Cyclops. 'One riot, one ranger' Colossus replies. 'Kate will bag Slim, and we sent -' Wolverine begins, before Colossus declares that they are stretched too thin. 'They're both in trouble – hell, we're all in trouble' Wolverine replies.Meanwhile, Emma Frost has two Orchis agents on a leash as she telepathically announces 'Okay, darlings. The beautiful voice in your head is the White Queen. I'm in New York walking the dogs before we have to put them down'. She adds that now that the Bloom is being uprooted, they can talk about reinforcing their world. Emma reveals that Shadowkat is in Paris trying to back Cyclops up, while there are still some X-Men on the wrecked Orchis station. 'Do you need assistance, Logan?' Emma asks. 'Have I ever?' Wolverine responds as he shoves his claws through another Orchis operative. 'I was asking to be polite' Emma states, before revealing that in the western United States, their nation is on the run – literally. 'How goes the rescue of Krakoa?' Emma enquires.Emma is also broadcasting on Iron Man's emergency frequency, and asks the Juggernaut to go ahead. 'Orchis already bagged our leafy friend – but it's nothing I can't handle' Cain Marko the Juggernaut announces as he leaps towards one of two Stark Sentinels who have captured the manifestation of Krakoa, who is trapped in a large net. 'Especially after I helped myself to one of Cable's guns!' Juggernaut exclaims as he lands on one of the large Sentinels, then turns to the other and blasts it with Cable's powerful weapon, knocking the Sentinel backwards. 'Let's go, buddy!' Juggernaut calls out as he drops down off the other Sentinel, and grabs the net restraining Krakoa. 'I got Krakoa, but we could use a lift' Juggernaut reports. Emma is suddenly confronted by one of her husband's deadly contraptions back in New York, and as the Stark Sentinel knocks her aside, Emma contacts Rogue, asking her to assist Juggernaut.'This is all terrible. It's going to hell' Rogue remarks to her husband, Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit as they streak through the sky in a jet. 'Sure it is, petit. But remember that secret Destiny definitely didn't want you telling me? Maybe now's the time to pull that rip cord?' Remy suggests. Rogue pauses, before telling her husband that she knew she kept him around for a reason. 'Let's do this' she declares, before leaping from the jet, and informing Emma that she is sending the jet back to her on autopilot, as she is going to need it to send someone else to help Krakoa. 'Remy and I have a mission' Rogue reports. Emma dodges a sudden ice-blast which covers the Stark Sentinel attacking her as she tells Rogue that this is not the time to break ranks. 'What could possibly be more important?' she asks. As the Sentinel is completely covered in ice, a voice calls out 'It's okay, Emma...if Rogue says that something must be done, then it must need doing'. Emma looks over to see Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch and tells him that she is very glad to see him and Iceman's powers. Synch reports that they have Stasis trapped in Orbit, but need to neutralize more high-value targets, and asks where Moira and Devo are.Meanwhile, Rogue and Gambit arrive at what once was Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Rogue tells Gambit that she had to hide Manifold away – she isn't even sure why, but Destiny was positive mutants had no future without him. 'He's gonna be pissed, Ah'd think' Gambit replies. Rogue tells Gambit that she removed what the villain did to Manifold, and then put him into stasis, so only a few moments will have passed for him since she secreted him away – meaning he will definitely be mad. 'Putting him in stasis in a Krakoan no-place... it's like being deleted from the universe' Gambit explains. They locate Eden Fesi a.k.a. Manifold and remove him from a stasis capsule. 'If you killed him, maybe we can reboot the Brotherhood of Evil Mu-' Gambit begins, before Rogue shushes him. She revives Manifold and tells him that she knows he has a lot of questions, but asks him to trust her when she tells him that she had no other options. 'We saved you from the bad guys, but then we did something... not so nice' Rogue admits.Manifold gasps, and utters 'My god – the stars are – I've been on ice for -' to which Gambit informs him that a lot has happened since he has been sleeping. 'You were a priority target of Orchis, and we hid you away because -' Rogue begins when suddenly, 'You kidnapped me! You buried me like a corpse outside time!' Manifold exclaims as he fires a blast of energy which knocks Gambit backwards. 'You're an X-Man, Rogue! You were supposed to be the best -' Manifold begins as he punches Rogue, before a look of shock falls across his face: 'Sorry, Sugah...' Rogue grins, wiping her lip, her face is broken, and Destiny's mask can be seen. '...but the future was unwritten without you, Manifold' Rogue tells him.Manifold confesses to always being a bit cranky after waking. 'And now that I'm awake, I'm dreaming...isn't that right, Lactuca?' Manifold asks, as the Arakkii mutant removes the Destiny mask and greets her “little brother”. 'We're really in deep $#%& I suppose' Manifold remarks. Lactuca informs Manifold that these two mutants were sent by someone less adept than she or him, but who nonetheless has a crude knowing of the universe. 'They sought not to wrong you... but to protect you from a malevolence that would have ended you' Lactuca explains, before telling Manifold that these X-Men succeeded in changing his destiny, and that she will see him again, as she puts the broken Rogue mask back on her face.'... so trust us – it was for yer own well-being. Is he... even listening to me?' Gambit asks. 'Does anyone?' Rogue turns to her husband, before asking him if he hears those jets. 'We have a Sentinel inbound' she reports. Manifold smiles and tells Rogue and Gambit that it is okay, that he understands what he must. 'We must go to where we're needed. And we're about to have a most unwelcome guest. I ask the universe... to deliver us now' Manifold calls out, energy crackling around him, before one of the Stark Sentinels slams a fist down where Rogue, Gambit and Manifold were standing.Back in space, the Bloom continues to explode. Polaris has allowed escape pods to leave the doomed station. The X-Men may have a revolving door on their graves, but they were always handing out second chances to their enemies. 'You can't kill me, Logan!' Dr. Stasis calls out as he rushes down a corridor. 'If you do, you'll never see Firestar again!' Stasis exclaims, before quickly leaping into an escape pod. Stasis grins as Wolverine catches up to him. 'Ha ha! Go find something else to stab, you unctuous varmint!' Dr. Stasis forms an X symbol with his arms and laughs as the pod is shunted out into space. 'Dammit!' Wolverine snarls, before informing Emma that rip-off Sinister just left for Earth in an escape pod. 'Get all eyes on him as fast as you can!' Wolverine warns Emma, before he cries out as a blast strikes him in the back. M.O.D.O.K. laughs, and tells the mutants that he admires them deploying the Brood. M.O.D.O.K. has a helmet covering his head, and jets out into space, as he reminds the mutants that last time they met, they survived a crashing space station. 'It would be easy for you to do it again, no?' he asks, laughing.Polaris, Nightcrawler and Colossus move through the station inside a magnetic field, and Nightcrawler wonders how they will find Logan in all this mess. Polaris tells Nightcrawler not to worry, as she can feel his adamantium bones. She contacts Broo and instructs him to summon his Brood back to Knowhere, as she has placed it in a stable orbit – while the Bloom is going to crash to Earth. Polaris decides to aim it for the Southern Ocean, before indicating that they can then regroup on Earth. They've found Wolverine, and he joins them inside the magnetic bubble, while Colossus reports that he was unable to find Firestar. Wolverine tells the others that Stasis gloated that he has her, but realizes it could be a trap, as she could already be dead. 'We'll know the truth of the matter when we find him' Polaris points out.At that moment, in Paris, Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops is on his knees, while the Omega Sentinel holds a blade to his neck. She tells him that she argued he didn't need a trial, but their human friends in Orchis insisted. 'You fleshy things do so like your symbolism, and a woman with a sword passing judgment is just that' Omega Sentinel remarks. She then raises the sword above Cyclops and notes that he doesn't seem scared. 'I admire that' she utters. Cyclops tells her that he isn't afraid – as there is a very special woman who will simply not let her kill him. Indeed, there is a sudden surge of energy, and the Omega Sentinel is frozen in place. Dr. Alia Gregor steps forward and announces that she can only use that small E.M.P. once, as Omega Sentinel will reboot any second, so they have to act quickly. Cyclops looks shocked to see Dr. Gregor, and asks 'To what do I owe the pleasure?''What you said to me in the prison. I think... we might have a problem with a secret part of Orchis' Dr. Gregor announces, before informing Cyclops that there is a part of the organization that she has not been able to access after she and her husband brought Nimrod online. 'There's a huge amount of resources that have no oversight. Both on Earth... and in space'. And, beneath the Krakoan island, where Nimrod was stomped into the ground, the dangerous Sentinel breaks free from the sap he was trapped in, and mysteriously vanishes, while Alia Gregor asks Cyclops 'Tell me... what do you know about Sentinel City?'

The X Deaths of Dr. Stasis
It is said that “nothing” can stop the Juggernaut... but that's not true. Especially when a harpoon made of discarded adamantium skeleton of Weapon X maims him. And that's just what happens as Cain Marko the Juggernaut trudges across a barren landscape, pulling the manifestation of Krakoa behind him, when a harpoon pierces one of his legs. Juggernaut cries out in pain, but he continues onwards. The mutants have been losing since the Hellfire Gala, many are dead, and the rest are scattered. An insurrection team of X-Men lead the rebellion against Orchis. The battle to liberate Earth is underway – and it could be going better. Krakoa the living island is surrounded by enemies, and mutantdom is on the cusp of losing everything. A large Orchis vessel appears above Juggernaut, sand begins blasting around him thanks to the engines of this repurposed S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier which Orchis has repurposed. The meat-puppets have no idea that they have already been sold out by the artificial intelligence in the organization.'HA HA HA!' an Orchis agent laughs as he begins opening fire at Krakoa. 'Get some, Juggernaut!' the agent grins as Juggernaut steps between Krakoa and the bullets, his armored form deflecting the weapons’ fire. 'Y'know ya can't kill me, right?' the Juggernaut calls back. The Orchis agent is joined by others who all open fire, crazed looks in their eyes. 'Awright, how about we make yer friend – extinct?' the Orchis agent asks. 'Nooo!' Juggernaut exclaims as a bullet pierces Krakoa, who appears to be in agony. Juggernaut then picks up several bark shards that came away from Krakoa and hurls them at the Orchis agents, piercing their bodies. The Juggernaut survived the attack that killed nearly all of his X-Men teammates, and what didn't kill him has made him angrier. He has sworn to protect Krakoa until reinforcements arrive. He will succeed – or join the rest of his X-Men teammates in death.Meantime, half a world away, Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops has finally escaped the clutches of Orchis, with their head of R&D, Dr. Alia Gregor. 'Didn't you hear me? You're going to lose everything! Orchis is going to eradicate Krakoa!' Dr. Gregor calls out as she and Cyclops rush away from Omega Sentinel, who has just been disabled. 'We have more pressing matters, don't we?' Cyclops responds. Cyclops tells Dr. Gregor that he believed in Krakoa, but that a feeling in his gut says they are all in jeopardy. 'I'll trust the defense of Krakoa to my fellow mutants' he adds as he makes his way down a series of stairs. 'How can you see?' Dr. Gregor asks him. 'I thought you were blind without the ruby-quartz visor?' Dr. Gregor adds. Cyclops explains that he memorized the steps to and from his cell, and urges Dr. Gregor onwards, telling her that they have to keep heading lower.Dr. Gregor continues to follow Cyclops and points out that there is no way out from down at the cells, as the courthouse is under the Seine. 'Yes. I can tell by the humidity. You can follow me, or you can take your chances with Omega Sentinel when she wakes' Cyclops responds, using the wall to guide his way, he tells Dr. Gregor that they both know she will go with him, because the A.I. has bigger goals than just killing mutants. 'I suppose you could have freed yourself at any time?' Dr. Gregor asks. 'Yes' Cyclops responds as he removes the visor covering his eyes. 'Why didn't you?' Dr. Gregor enquires.Suddenly: 'Freeze!' an Orchis agent shouts as two of them rush down the corridor towards Cyclops. 'I was waiting... for you' Cyclops reveals as he opens his eyes and fires two optic beams at the Orchis agents. Cyclops tells Dr. Gregor that the two of them have almost everything in common, and asks her who really controls Orchis. 'I thought we did. Myself. Dr. Devo. But what does it matter? We're trapped' Dr. Gregor responds.'You're never trapped... when Magik is around!' Illyana Rasputin a.k.a. Magik smirks as she steps out of the shadows. She greets Cyclops and hands him a ruby-quartz optic visor. 'And just in time, because maybe you'd be surprised to see who you're hanging out with?' Magik suggests, before tossing the visor towards Cyclops, who informs Magik that he has been listening to the inner workings of Orchis for a long time. 'The human parts of the force came gloating. They threatened and tortured me' he explains, before announcing that the A.I. part was all too quiet, he expects it didn't want them thinking about it, and reveals that Dr. Gregor shares his concern. 'I know we're in a tough spot, but can the others save Krakoa without me?' he asks. 'If it needs doing...then it will be done' Magik smirks.On the planet Arakko, Apocalypse stands amongst the strange assortment of Arakkii mutants, including Bei the Blood Moon and Redroot the Forest, while refuges stand opposite them. Apocalypse declares that now Earth's mutants have raised their banners, a united and reforged Arakko will join their cousins. 'Who will join me?' he asks. Amongst the refuge mutants, a green-skinned mutant steps forward and introduces himself as Woofer, of Chicago. 'Now let's go get that “W”!' he calls out, before claiming that he was made an X-Man by Shadowkat, and announces that he stands ready to wage war to free his people. Apocalypse takes Woofer's hand and states that he hears the words of a true mutant. Woofer confesses that he is not sure how they are going to get back to Earth with all the gates still down. 'And is Storm coming?' he asks. Apocalypse grins and declares that there is still mutant magic left in these worlds, and as for Storm, like all storms, she is difficult to predict. There is then a flash of energy, and the mutants disappear.Apocalypse, Woofer and the other mutants are transported to where the S.W.O.R.D. Space Station is protruding from a body of water on Arakko. Three mutants hover in front of the giant vessel – Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit, Rogue and Eden Fesi a.k.a. Manifold, who greets the mutants of Arakko and Krakoa. He introduces himself and announces that although he loathes war, it is upon them. He tells them that no one will command them to board the S.W.O.R.D. Station behind him, but that evil must be confronted. 'Know that if you join us, it may well be the last thing you do' Manifold warns the mutants. Rogue greets everyone and tells them that they are pressed for time, so if they would get aboard, strap in and put their tray tables up, they can go save Krakoa.The mutants form a line and begin boarding the S.W.O.R.D. Station, as Rogue flies above them and tells them that she knows those of them from Earth have been waiting for this day, but that nothing is easy, and if they want to go home, then they are going to have to fight for it. When all the mutants are aboard, the docking bay closes, and within the station, energy warps around Manifold who states that he has asked much of the universe, and must ask for more now. The S.W.O.R.D. Station begins to rise up out of the waters, as Manifold announces that there is great suffering and injustice, and that it must be set right. 'So please… take us home' he utters.The universe delivers, as the S.W.O.R.D. Station appears in orbit around Earth, next to its twin another space station, in the form of a large X. Several mutants appear outside the station, floating in space, protected with space helmets. Among them, Rogue, Gambit, Woofer, Apocalypse, Bei, and the Brotherhood of Arakko – Khora, Jon Ironfire, Kobak and Syzya. 'Stay frosty, y'all. We're gonna save Krakoa, then deal with any stray Sentinels, the Sentinel factories, the gulags – the telepaths will divide us into strike teams, and then – we conquer!' Rogue exclaims. 'For mutant dominion!' Apocalypse booms.As the mutant liberators fall into Earth's gravity, Rogue has a good thought for her mother, Destiny, who told her there would be a day like this – she heard Destiny clear as day, as though they were in the same room: 'So much death and destruction and it all culminates with a giant X in the heavens, with the fall of Krakoa'. Destiny said. 'I see kings clashing in white, black after the death of the Red Queen. I see a Jovian bolt from the heavens. I see the stars ripped in half. I hear the poisoning lies of the false captain, his rank earned. The fool who speaks the truth will pay the price. It is enough that it is true'.The Juggernaut continues to protect Krakoa from the weaponsfire. 'You lousy mugs are &%#* now – look up!' the Juggernaut laughs. Indeed, the Orchis agents look up and see the two S.W.O.R.D. Stations in the form of an X. 'Oh my god' one of the Orchis agents gasps.Inside the Thunderbird jet, Emma Frost and Kate Pryde a.k.a. Shadowkat are visited by a holographic projection of Tony Stark, who informs Emma that he has received a message she needs to see. The message is from Firestar, who states 'If you're seeing this recording, I'm probably dead. Dr. Stasis realized I've been an X-Man all along after I helped set Iron Man's trap for the majority of the Stark Sentinels. I placed a tracker on the maniac. Punch his ticket for me'. The message ends, and Kate looks over to Emma. 'Rerouting us now' she tells her. Stark asks Emma to bring Firestar home and avenge her if she can. 'Thank you, Anthony' Emma responds.Meanwhile, in the middle of nowhere, a barren terrain, where some sort of structure protrudes from the hard ground. Dr. Stasis was confident Orchis would win, but he has made plans in case they don't. Once he boarded his private plane, “Dr. Stasis” would cease to exist for a few years, and this aspect of Nathaniel Essex would metastasize into something worse. 'You're not going anywhere, Stasis' Emma declares as she and Shadowkat approach Dr. Stasis who is trying to board his plane. 'Oh my. It's the porcelain strumpet and her lunatic ninja -' Dr. Stasis begins as he looks over to Emma and Shadowkat, who leaps forward and knocks Stasis' gun out of his hands while telling him that he better pray that Firestar is alive. 'Or you'll beg for death' she warns him, as she lands a punch in his stomach. 'Unhand me!' Stasis declares as Shadowkat phases her hand through his head and knocks his helmet off his head.Stasis grins and warns Shadowkat that if she so much as lays a finger on him, she will never see Firestar alive again. 'I've hidden her away as insurance against this exact scenario'. He taps his head and boasts that he has the finest psi-blocker implanted in his head. 'Oh, you don't mean... the psi-blocker I just phased from your head when I knocked your helmet off, do you?' Kate asks as she holds up the small psi-blocker, before calling out to Emma. 'Now wait -' Dr. Stasis begins, shocked, before Emma enters his mind and smiles. She then telepathically informs Synch that she has Firestar's location.In New York, Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch can be seen flying towards a smal boat, while telepathically informing Emma that he is close enough to sync naturally with Firestar's powers, and fires a blast of microwave energy at two Orchis agents on the boat. 'You two – start swimming!' he exclaims. Synch drops down onto the boat and finds as stasis tank. 'Firestar!' he calls out as he opens the tank up and finds Angelica Jones trapped within it, but alive. He removes the breathing device from Firestar's mouth and Firestar gasps as she wakes up. 'Welcome back, Firestar' Synch tells her, before telepathically informing Emma 'We're good. And she's coming your way'.Emma thanks Synch while looking down at Dr. Stasis who is on his knees, and tells him that she tried to be so good for so long. 'But, you men broke me. You wouldn't let me be nice. I've destroyed men worth ten of you... a hundred of you. You hurt us. You hurt me. I could kill you where you grovel, but... I won't' she tells him. Stasis looks up at Emma like a wounded dog and replies 'Oh, thank you! Thank you!' Emma looks at Stasis with disgust and informs him that she will reach into his disgusting mind and pull forth his nightmares, his worst, most unhinged fears about mutants, born of his caluminous, bigoted mind. 'And I promise you, it will feel very real'.Dr. Stasis goes wide-eyed, and it only takes a minute for his heart to begin to arrest. Of course, time is relative, and Emma Frost is a skilled telepath – she makes this moment feel like ten years. Stasis sees and feels himself sliced to pieces by Wolverine, blasted at close-range by Cyclops, his heart phased out of his body by Shadowkat, his head pummeled in by Colossus and Magneto tearing him apart by the iron in his blood. Blood begins to trickle out of Stasis' mouth, and he looks up at Emma, pleading with her: 'I have a wife. A family. Let me speak with Cyclops – he'll grant me mercy'. Emma continues to stare at Stasis and tells him that Cyclops might, but he isn't here. 'If you're anything like the mutant Sinister – you might think returning is a good idea. It is not. Stay dead – or the next time I kill you, it will be so much worse'. Stasis then convulses and falls backwards. Emma casually sips from a flask and then tells Shadowkat that a heart attack is less than Stasis deserved. 'If we don't do Dracula proper... we deserve whatever happens to us when he does return' Shadowkat responds, to which Emma asks her if she is seriously suggesting that she killed him immediately?Before Shadowkat can respond though, 'Stasis!' a voice screams, and a flurry of microwave energy streaks into the chamber – it's Firestar who engulfs Stasis' body in flames. 'Thank you. We were just discussing tidying up the corpse' Emma remarks. 'Whatever kind of peace we win in the end, it will be because you were such a great X-Man, Angelica' Emma tells her former student. Tears fall down Firestar's face. Emma wipes the tears and tells Angelica that she did them all proud, and paid the hero's price. Emma takes Angelica's hand and tells her that they need to get back to the Thunderbird and get back in the fight. 'There's a crisis on every corner of the globe...and beyond' she utters.On Earth's moon, inside the Summer House, where Magik has teleported Cyclops and Dr. Gregor. 'This is where Nimrod went' Dr. Gregor remarks, before asking Cyclops if he used to live here on the moon. 'Yep. Please...no jokes' Cyclops frowns, before Magik asks Cyclops if he is sure he wants her to leave him alone with Dr. Gregor. 'I need to do this' Cyclops replies, before asking Magik to tell Emma to keep an ear out for him. 'Roger' Magik replies, before informing Cyclops that she has been asked to hunt for Director Devo. Cyclops informs Dr. Gregor that this was his family home, and asks her what Nimrod was doing here. 'Have you heard the name Sentinel City?' Dr. Gregor asks. She informs Cyclops that after Orchis' victory over Krakoa, this habitat on the moon was repurposed into a relay station with Orchis' Venusian mining settlement, except almost none of the ore made it back to Earth – it was used on-site.'Used for what?' Cyclops asks. As she approaches a door where several cables are running underneath it, Dr. Gregor tells Cyclops that nobody at Orchis seemded to know, not even Director Devo. 'I suspect Omega Sentinel knew. Maybe Moira...and so did...you, Nimrod!' Dr. Gregor exclaims as she opens the doors, and finds Nimrod inside. Serveral cables connect Nimrod to some machinery, and Cyclops quickly contacts Emma: 'Head's up. And be ready' he warns her. Nimrod looks over at Dr. Gregor and tells her that it is hard to surprise him, but she has managed that feat three times. 'I didn't think I'd see you again' he adds. 'Why the secrets? From me of all people?' Dr. Gregor asks. 'Our mining at Sentinel City. Almost none of the metal makes it to Earth. What are you building out there?' she asks. 'The future. And the end' Nimrod responds as he disconnects from the machinery. 'Dr. Gregor – that thing is not your husband!' Cyclops urges Dr. Gregor, who looks forlorn: 'Yes, that's true...but Nimrod only exists because of my husband's sacrifice. I know he can calculate the truth of it' Dr. Gregor responds as she moves closer to Nimrod.Dr. Gregor looks up at Nimrod and smiles fondly, while Nimrod puts a hand to her face. 'Dr. Gregor, I choose not to lie to you. So I'm giving you this gift earlier than I'd calculated' Nimrod states, before he holds her head and spins it backwards, breaking her neck with ease. 'You psycho!' Cyclops screams as he bombards Nimrod with a powerful optic blast. 'We calculated that we'd have the greatest chances of success if mutants and humans were at each other's throats. You would not look up...to notice the sword over your head. Elsewhere, a globe rises up from a planet and hovers out into space as Nimrod declares that Sentinel City is not any outpost or mine – but a tool to sterilize this hellish planet once and for all.
