Disassembled, part 2
'And the commander says, “He can't fly. He's just an old man in a bird costume”' a voice can be heard saying over a communications system connected to a satellite above Earth. There is a silence from the satellite, so the voice asks 'Dave? Do you copy?' Dave's voice can then be heard, announcing that he doesn't know what he is looking at right now. 'Are you seeing this?' Dave asks. 'Negative. Please describe' the other voice asks. 'I don't know, Houston. It looks like something is growing in Kansas. Why does this stuff keep happening to me?' Dave complains, as in Kanas, a mountain of Multiple Man clones scramble over one another.
Meanwhile, in the Beast's lab at the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, Jean Grey, Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm, Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke, Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Lucas Bishop and Dr Henry McCoy the Beast have gathered, and are watching several monitors which display disturbing scenes. The Beast hangs from the ceiling of his lab as he tells the others that he is sorry to drag them out of bed so early, but that he thinks they can see why this can't wait – as what they are looking at is not really within their normal parameters – although these are trying times. The Beast informs the others that in the past six hours, reports have begun to come in from across the globe, various animals, some extinct for millennia, have begun appearing, and people are getting hurt.
The Beast tells his companions that the Avengers, Winter Guard, Champions and other groups have all mobilized, but as they can see by the monitors, things are not going well. The X-Men see Captain Britain standing before a huge Megalodon, while Captain America defends himself against giant insects, and Thor and Iron Man are confronted by giant birds, while the Falcon deals with some tentacled creature, and Doctor Crocodile contends with a huge rhino as Vanguard and Crimson Dynamo run from a herd of mammoths.
'In short, the world is trying to kill us all, and we're going  to need to fight back' the Beast declares, adding that there are currently no heroes operating in the Rocky Mountain region, and there is a little situation developing and they need to send a team there now.
Indeed, in Montana, dinosaurs, including a huge T-Rex are currently terrorizing the local civilians, destroying everything in their path and setting off a series of explosions.
Betsy tells Henry that she appreciates the severity of all this, but asks about Kitty's disappearance, and Jamie Madrox attacking the senator like a loon and then both of them vanishing – or what about Warren just abandoning her in the middle of that fight. She motions to the monitor with Captain Britain and the Megalodon and points out that she would love to go help her brother with that big fish he found, but she doesn't think they should be ignoring the other issues. Jean reminds Betsy that they have both been scanning for Warren and Kitty, and tells her they will continue to, but that Hank's point is that there are more pressing problems. Jean adds that she is worried about their friends, they all are, but they can't turn their backs on people who need them. 'A slight correction if I may, Jean?' the Beast asks, announcing that it is just a theory, but that based on energy readings and pattern analysis, he ran a dispersal – Bobby interrupts him and tells him to cut to the chase – so the Beast explains that he doesn't think these things are different.
'And the weather I couldn't control in Kalahari?' Storm enquires. 'Possibly' the Beast tells her, adding that they are dealing with things that shouldn't be here appearing, and people that should be here disappearing. He admits that he can't connect all of even most of the dots, the layman in him says weird stuff goes together. Jean suggests that Hank takes a team out to Montana to see what he can find out, but Hank tells Jean that he has a pressing commitment so won't be able to. 'I'll take them' Storm offers. 'Perfect' Jean tells her friend, adding that she will use Cerebro to amplify her powers while she keeps looking for their missing friends. 'Good luck out there, X-Men' Jean tells everyone.
Soon, inside Cerebro, Bobby stands next to Jean who is using the Cerebro helmet and asks her how come the others get to play with dinosaurs while he has to keep her company while she hacks the matrix, or whatever she is doing. 'Because you love me the most, Bobby' Jean replies. 'I do' Bobby admits. Suddenly, Jean finds something – or someone.' Oh, no. He's so confused' Jean gasps.
In a locker room, Storm, Betsy and Bishop are finishing putting their costumes on alongside Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler, Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, Jubilee, Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball and Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23. Bishop loads his gun and asks Storm if she ever worries that things like going to fight dinosaurs just feels routine these days. 'If helping people feels routine, then I have no worries, Bishop' Storm responds.
Bobby quickly tells Jean that Storm's team is about to take off, but as Jean removes the Cerebro helmet, she tells Bobby that they can't all go, as he is planning another attack. 'Who is?' Bobby asks. 'Jamie Madrox!' Jean exclaims, before announcing that she will take half the team to Montana, while Storm needs to deal with Madrox right now.
Shortly, in Russell Springs, Kansas, Cannonball, Storm, Psylocke, Jubilee and Polaris walk side by side, while Nightcrawler teleports onto a powerpole nearby. Storm tells her team that she knows they are all worried about their friends, but that she needs everyone sharp out here. 'I can't believe Jean took the dinosaur thing from us. That was gonna be so fun' Jubilee mutters. 'Your idea of fun and mine are very different, Ms Lee' Nightcrawler states. 'Yeah, no $#%&' Jubilee retorts. Storm asks Nightcrawler if he will get them closer, and Nightcrawler prepares to teleport again, 'Your wish is my command' he responds.
In Missoula, Montana, destruction and flames surround Jean, Bobby, Northstar, Bishop and X-23. 'Thank you for getting us the dinosaur thing' Bobby tells Jean. 'It's because I love you the most' Jean replies. 'I knew it' Bobby exclaims.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE THEM!' Hisako Ichiki shouts as she strides into the medlab back at the Xavier Institute, where several of her friends and fellow X-Men students are watching over the wounded and unconscious Idie Okonkwo. 'What?' Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide asks, as Victor Borkowski a.k.a. Anole sits on a nearby bed, Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie stands at Oya's beside, and Robert Herman a.k.a. Glob is asleep. 'They left without us!' Armor exclaims. 'Who... what? What happened?  Who left?' Glob asks, suddenly waking up. 'The rest of the X-Men. Like, all of them' Armor complains. She stands with her hands on her hips and declares that apparently the whole world is falling apart, and they went off to save it without them. 'That's what they think about us. We don't even register when there's an emergency. We're just a bunch of useless kids to them' Armor scowls. 'That's... man, that's not cool' Glob replies.
Sipping from a juice box, Rockslide points out that they did just get their butts handed to them – by Forearm. 'Forearm! The embarassment!' he exclaims. Pixie decides that Rockslide is right, and reminds Armor that they nearly lost two teammates, so if things are that bad, she doesn't blame the others for leaving them behind, as they are a risk. Pixie reminds the others that Beast asked them to stay and keep an eye on Anole and Oya, to which Armor wonders where Beast has gone.
Fairview Medical Laboratories, in Morrisville, North Carolina, where a construction crew is working on clearing the Blackbird that crashed into the laboratory. 'Look at this crap. The x-Men can crash their fancy plane into a medical facility and the government ain't gonna do squat but give them a slap on the wrist' a police officer standing nearby complains. 'And you know it's our tax money going into cleaning this up' another officer mutters. 'Makes me so mad' the first officer adds, before revealing that his brother-in-law up in New York lost his home because of them. 'Yeah?' the other officer asks. The first officer explains that one of them shot some sort of laser beam straight through his living room, missed him by inches but destroyed the whole place. 'Insurance wouldn't even cover it' he remarks, unaware that nearby, the Beast breaks past the police cordon and enters the ruins of the lab. 'A damn crime is what it is' one of the police tells the other. 'We should be able to lock them up on sight' the other suggests. 'Amen' the first agrees. The Beast checks some holographic blueprints of the lab, makes his way through into a room, where he finds a canister. 'There you are' he calls out.
Back in Kansas, there is a BAMF over a farmhouse, as Nightcrawler teleports in with Storm, Polaris, Psylocke, Jubilee and Cannonball. 'Mein Gott. I knew it would be bad... but this exceeded even my wildest expectations' Nightcrawler gasps as the team looks down, horrified, to find a literal sea of Jamie Madroxes beneath them.
'Go back home!' one of them calls out. 'No!' another shouts. 'The situation is already under control' one of them declares. 'Leave us alone!' another exclaims. 'Go!' 'You can't be here!' 'We've got it handled!' 'Go now!' ' They're all gone!' ' They're all gone!' 'Our fault!' the many dupes shout. 'You're only going to get in the way!' another dupe shouts, strange blue energy blasting upwards from his eyes – straight towards Betsy, who Cannonball pulls aside before she is struck. 'Whoa, now. Since when can Madrox do that?' Cannonball asks. Betsy reports that there is something not quite right with Madrox, but that she can't get a clear read on his mind. 'Isn't “not right” his normal? Ah mean, that's his brand, right?' Sam asks, suggesting that this is something more not right than usual.
Storm tells Madrox that they are not here to fight him, but that he needs to understand that he is scaring people – first the senator and now this. 'Help us understand what's going on' Polaris asks her longtime teammate. 'They're all gone' one of the dupes calls back. 'We're too late' another exclaims.
Betsy tells Storm that she is trying to read their minds, but it is a mess – they are confused and she can't find Jamie inside them. The X-Men hover over the dupes and Polaris asks 'Who do you mean, Jamie?  Who's all gone?'
The X-Men drop down amongst the Madrox dupes, who start uttering 'Kitty' 'Get out of our heads!' 'Senator Allen' 'This is our mess!' 'Stop talking to them'. Another dupe declares 'We'll fix it!'
Storm informs Jamie that he is leaving them with no choice, and the X-Men begin fighting with the dupes. Cannonball blasts towards one, while Nightcrawler is confronted by a dupe who glows with some strange blue energy, and Jubilee finds herself attacked by one who extends a long tongue towards her.
'X-Men – find Jamie Prime and immobilize him -' Storm calls out as she sends a huge crackle of lightning down amongst the dupes, scattering some of them. 'How do we do that, Storm?' Cannonball asks, blasting his way through several dupes. 'Get your tongue off of me!' Jubilee exclaims, firing some plasma fireworks at the dupe who attacked her. 'A thousand showers isn't going to get that ick off' Jubilee complains. Betsy shoves a psi-knife into one of the dupes and tells the other X-Men to pull their punches, reminding them that they don't want to kill him, that they need his help. Hovering overhead, Polaris suggests to Betsy that she might want to plant that thought inside Madrox's head, because it certainly looks like he is trying to kill them!
Another crackle of lightning sends more dupes careening backwards, as Storm asks Psylocke to tell her she can decipher which is Jamie Prime. Betsy knocks back a dupe that has grown large bones on his body and tells Storm that she is trying to, but there is so much confusion, she can't make sense of it. 'You best try harder, 'Locke. We're being overwhelmed out here!' Cannonball calls out as he blasts through the air with a dozen dupes clambering over him. 'We couldn't save Kitty!' one of them exclaims. 'We can clean this mess. It is our mess' another states.
Suddenly, Polaris falls to the ground, and Jubilee reports that Polaris and Cannonball are both down. 'There's too many of them!' she exclaims. 'We didn't want to fight you' one of the dupes calls out. 'You made us do this' another adds, seemingly using some sort of magnetic power to hold Polaris down Several dupes have surrounded Storm and are pulling her down, 'We're so sorry' another calls out as he leaps on top of Storm.
Outside of Missoula, Montana, Jean and her team arrive at a mountain range where dinosaurs are en route to the city. Jean asks Bobby to set up an ice wall behind them to slow the dinosaurs down in case they get through. 'On it' Bobby replies, before Jean announces that she will link their minds telepathically if nobody minds. None of the others say anything, so Jean takes their silence as consent, and then links their minds. 'No matter what, these things don't get through' Jean declares. X-23 pops her claws and Jean tells her 'Well said'. Several dinosaurs move closer to the X-Men, and a T-Rex roars. Jean asks Bobby through the telepathic link how the wall is coming. 'Looks good, Jean' Bobby calls back as he continues to create the wall of ice. Northstar speeds towards one of the dinosaurs and Jean tells him to watch his six. 'I'm all right with you in my head, Jean, not with being micromanaged' Jean-Paul responds. 'Fair enough' Jean concedes, before Northstar flies up and slams his fist into a large dinosaur, knocking it back.
Bishop blasts his gun at one of the dinosaurs and reminds Jean that Beast said this is all connected, but he wonders what on Earth could be big enough to do all these things – extinct species coming back to life, weather patterns changing, people disappearing. 'What's powerful enough to do all of that at the same time...and still hide itself from us?' he wonders. Jean hovers overhead and knocks a dinosaur back with a telekinetic blast, while telling Bishop that she doesn't know, but that everything she can imagine is terrifying. Bishop continues to fire his gun at the dinosaurs and tells Jean that when they get back home, he needs to talk to her and the others about something he found a few days ago. He adds that he didn't know what it meant, and still doesn't, but it may be important.
Bobby encases a dinosaur in ice and asks 'Is everyone ready for me to deliver my “Let's put these guys back in ice” joke?' Jean offers Bobby a telepathic groan on behalf of the entire team.
X-23 slices the head off a dinosaur, but is seemingly unaware that another dinosaur looms behind her. 'Laura! Watch your -' Jean calls out, but too late, as the dinosaur chomps down and swallows X-23 whole. 'LAURA!' Jean screams, before asking Bishop to help her. 'Just... give her a minute' Bishop replies, and suddenly, the dinosaur roars, and blood starts to shoot up from its stomach – as X-23 cuts her way free from the dinosaur's insides. 'That all you got?' Laura asks. Jean smirks and telepathically tells the team that Laura just cut her way out from inside a tyrannosaurus, so they are going to have to up their game if they want to take the Most Valuable Player title for today. 'Yeah, but shouldn't Laura lose points for being eaten in the first place?' Bobby asks. 'I mean... you can try telling her that' Jean suggests. '...pass' Bobby responds.
Back at the Xavier Institute, a large number of protesters have gathered, carrying signs like “Die muties” and “God hates mutants”. A figure in a suit walks between the protestors, closer the mansion, as someone shouts 'Muties go home! Muties go home!'
Armor frowns as she watches the protestors from a window. 'Go home?  Where would that even be? We're literally in our home' she mutters. 'We risk out lives – Oya and Anole are still in the med bay – to stop villains from stealing the government's vaccine and this is the thanks we get? Protestors on our damn lawn?' she scowls. 'Most of those people would pee their damn pants if they really saw a mutant up close, Armor' one of the other students calls out, as outside, the suited figure gets even closer to the mansion. 'Muties go home!' Someone else calls out.
Pixie remarks that she is annoyed with the chant, and asks if they can't come up with anything better, as it has been hours and is driving her crazy. 'That's all that bothers you about this? The chanting?' Armor replies. Pixie explains that she doesn't like anything about it, 'But what are we gonna do?' she asks. Glob agrees, and reminds Armor that it is the way it is – the way it has always been.
'Muties go home!' someone shouts outside, as the man in a suit excuses himself when he pushes past a woman.
Armor turns her attention from the crowd to her teammates and tells Glob that if he really feels that way, she doesn't know why he is here. 'Why do you want to be an X-Man?' she asks. Rockslide suggests that maybe they go out onto the lawn and scare the protesters, bust some heads. 'I bet they run before I get within ten feet' Rockslide boasts, to which Armor tells him that they are not doing that.
The protesters continue their chant, and as the man in the suit gets closer to the mansion, a woman tells him not to get too close. 'He's probably one of them' another suggests, while someone wonders what he is doing. 'He's crazy!' another exclaims, before Armor notices him getting close to the house. 'MUTIES GO HOME!' the chant gets louder, as the man knocks on the front door.
Armor, Pixie, Glob and Rockslide open the door, as the man in the suit greets them. He has long hair slicked back and smiles, 'Hi, kids' he remarks, before introducing himself as Legion and telling them that he is Professor Xavier's son – and that he is here to save the day!

Disassembled, part 3
Missoula, Montana, where a squad of X-Men are currently battling dinosaurs. 'A couple of them have gotten past us' Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar calls out as he darts around face of a T-Rex. 'I see them!' Jean Grey responds, before instructing Lucas Bishop and Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman to deal with them. 'I'll help' Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23 offers, as she stands claws-barred on top of another dinosaur. 'I need you here, X-23. They can handle it' Jean replies as Bishop blasts one of the dinosaurs and Iceman starts to freeze the T-Rex, before the two of them give chase to the dinosaurs that have broken through the ice-wall. 'They're almost to the picket line!' Iceman calls out, telling Bishop to hurry. 'Worry about your own targets, Drake' Bishop responds.
On the other side of the wall of ice, anti-mutant protesters had gathered, and begin to flee as the dinosaurs approach then. 'Run!' someone screams. 'Ohmigod! Jurassic Park is real!' another shouts. One of them screams as a dinosaur gets close to them, but Bishop fires a blast of energy at the dinosaur's feet, knocking it to the ground. The screaming man falls over in the process, narrowly avoiding the dinosaur's jagged-tooth mouth and dropping his sign that reads “God hates mutants”. Bishop goes over to the man and extends a hand to help him up. 'Are you all right, sir?' Bishop asks. 'Uh... yes?' the man replies, while other civilians watch. 'And your sign, sir' Bishop remarks, handing the protester his sign. Bishop remains stoic, as the man looks at him, '... thanks' the man responds.
'You get yours, Bish?' Bobby asks as he ice-slides alongside Bishop as they return to the others. 'What do you think, Drake?' Bishop replies. 'I mean, yeah. Okay, obviously you got yours' Bobby mutters. 'Correct' Bishop tells him. 'This was a great talk' Bobby shrugs. Jean asks Laura if they are all clear, and X-23 confirms that they are, so Jean sends a telepathic message to Storm, informing her that they are all clear, and asks her if she needs an assist.
In Russell Springs, Kansas, Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm and her squad are battling countless Multiple Man dupes. Storm's thoughts echo towards Jean as she tells her friend that they are overwhelmed and an assist is much appreciated as she blasts several dupes with a surge of lightning. Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball knocks several dupes back as he blasts through them, while Jubilee takes some dupes out with her fireworks powers. Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke shoves a psi-knife into her opponent, as Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler teleports onto a group of several dupes, and Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris tosses several dupes backwards with a surge of magnetic energy.
Meanwhile, at the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, in New York City, a large number of anti-mutant protesters have gathered out front of the X-Men's home. 'Since I want to help... can I come inside?' a man in a suit claiming to be the son of Charles Xavier known as Legion smiles as he stands in the doorway. 'Um. Legion, right?' Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor asks. 'Right' Legion tells her. 'Right... 'm not sure it's the best idea for you to come in' Armor tells him as Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide, Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie and Glob Herman stand with her.
A rock is thrown at the door, narrowly missing Legion. 'What the hell?' Rockslide calls out. 'Did they just -' Legion asks, narrowing his eyes. 'You know what... yeah, come on in' Armor tells him. Legion smiles at her and tells her that he appreciates that. 'This is so great. Are you guys excited to save the world?' Legion asks. 'Uh...' Glob mutters in response.
Above Russell Springs, Kansas, a Blackbird jet hovers, as Jean and her team survey the situation below. '... Oh God. I didn't realize. There are thousands of them' Jean gasps, looking at a monitor which shows the chaos below. Jean instructs Bobby to set the jet down as close as reasonable, and for everyone else to get out now. 'What the hell is Madrox thinking?' Northstar asks as he flies towards the mass of Madroxes below. Jean telekinetically lowers herself, Bishop and X-23 down and point out that she isn't entirely sure he is thinking anything. 'Sounds right' Bishop points out. Jean tells Bishop that was not what she meant, and that obviously something has happened to Madrox. She reports that the good news is none of them below is Jamie Prime. 'Which means...' she begins, 'Which means killing them isn't killing Jamie... they're just copies. Bad ones' X-23 declares.
Bishop fires a blast of energy at one of dupes as he asks Jean if she can tell what is wrong with them. 'I can't... it's like... they're not even Jamie' Jean replies as X-23 enters the battle, and Northstar knocks several dupes over as he flies past them. X-23 realizes Jean looks concerned and asks her if she is all right. 'I...' Jean begins, watching the battle as if she is suffering deja vu.
'Where is Kitty Pryde?' several dupes call out. Betsy announces that she doesn't know what is wrong with them, that their minds are fractured somehow. Jubilee knocks several dupes back and Bishop fires another blast of energy into the army of dupes. Jean tells X-23 that it is happening, that this is the moment she saw. She wonders what it means, and how they can reach someone who isn't there. 'Where is Kitty Pryde?' another dupe asks, before Jean suddenly has an idea and flies over to Betsy, reaching out for her and telling her to take her hand.
Back at the Mansion, the X-Men students follow Legion down a corridor as Glob asks him what he means by “save the world” and Rockslide enquires as to whether this has anything to do with the dinosaurs. 'There are dinosaurs?' Legion asks. Pixie informs him that the rest of the X-Men are off dealing with dinosaurs, and the Jamies. 'Apparently Madrox has gone mental... again?' Pixie remarks, adding that she feels like he has done this before.
Legion looks concerned: 'Jamie? Oh no. No. No. No' he declares, grabbing Pixie by her shoulders he shakes her and tells her that she has to contact them, has to stop them. 'Whoa. Hands off, crazy-pants!' Pixie orders. Legion calms down and tells the young mutants that everything is fine. 'I just need someone to get an adult... no more X-kids. I need -' he begins, before he suffers some pain and touches his head, groaning.
One of the dupes fires something from his mouth at Jubilee, which lands in her side. 'Why do I keep getting weird mouth-power Madrox?' Jubilee complains, before she starts to feel weak, 'That actually hurts...' she gasps. Northstar tells Jubilee that he is on his way. 'Just let me finish with stab-fingers here and then I shall -' Northstar begins, before the Madrox with claws for fingers skewers Northstar in his back. Northstar then falls to the ground. 'No... I'll be... fine...' Jubilee utters. Nightcrawler teleports to Jubilee and catches her before she collapses, then teleports her away. Nightcrawler reappears and takes Northstar to safety. 'I hadn't forgotten about you, my little Canadian elf'.
Polaris, Bishop, Bobby, Storm and X-23 fight on, as Jean and Betsy hold hands, and Betsy announces that it isn't working, she can't get through, she can't stop them. 'Everything in their heads. It's so jumbled. So confused' she calls out. X-23 tells Betsy to take her time, that they can hold the Madroxes back. 'Besides... this is super cathartic' she adds.
'Keep trying' Jean asks Betsy, the two still holding hands, as Betsy tells Jean that she can't see Jamie inside. Jean amplifies Betsy's reach, gives her the boost she needs to break through the confusion. 'Focus on Jamie. Try to filter out the noise' Jean encourages Betsy. 'Get inside and shut them down. Everyone else... cover us' Jean calls out to the others. Polaris, Bobby, Bishop and X-23 surround Jean and Betsy and use their powers to keep the Madrox dupes back. 'You got it, Jeannie' Cannonball exclaims as he knocks a group of dupes over.
'I can't see....' Betsy calls out, struggling – then suddenly: 'There'  she declares, and all of the Madrox dupes stop in their tracks – and fall to the ground. 'Their minds are finally clear' Jean reports as she sits by one of the dupes. The other X-Men gather around as Jean informs them that the source of all this is beneath them – right beneath their feet this entire time.
At the Mansion:
'No. No. No' Legion utters over and over as he drops to the ground, clutching his head – before he suddenly starts slamming his head into the floor. 'Stop. Stop. Stop' he exclaims, as his long hair starts to stick upwards. 'I tried... I tried to do this properly' he remarks, slowly turning to look at the X-Men students, claiming that he had this handled, he really did. 'But you X-Men...you stupid damn X-Men… can never leave well enough alone' Legion grins, releasing a surge of energy, he knocks the four young mutants backwards. 'But no more. I have to do this now. You will only get in my way'.
Armor throws a shield up around herself and declares that this is why she didn't want to let him in. 'And it's why we're tossing your ass out!' Armor declares, instructing the other young mutants to protect the mansion. 'On it!' Rockslide responds. 'Stop this. Stop it now' Legion responds, as he causes Rockslide to fall on his face, and blocks Armor as she attempts to punch him. 'I do not want to have to hurt you. I'm here to save you' Legion boasts.
There is a screeching sound of straining metal as Polaris rips open the doors to a bunker. 'This is it. This is what I saw in their heads. Down here... behind this door' Jean announces as she leads Bishop, Polaris, Bobby and X-23 through the tunnel towards a thick door. 'Allow me' Lorna offers as she tears the door from its hinges. 'It's about time' a voice from behind the door calls out. It's Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man, who tells the X-Men that if they don't mind untying him, he has got a Legion to kill. 'Also, if someone could get me a glass of water, I'd be super grateful'.
Shortly, aboard an X-Jet, Bishop and X-23 sit up front, piloting the jet, as Jean, Bobby and Nightcrawler sit with Madrox, a blanket wrapped around him, he tells the others 'Yes, I'm sure it was him. He locked me in a room and made me dupe myself for days'. Jean tells Jamie that it is okay. 'He was in my friggin’ head. It's Legion' Madrox exclaims. Madrox's face is bruised and he closes his eyes as he explains that Legion took his personalities and put each one into a dupe, meaning each dupe was controlled by a part of that weird creeper, and he was building an army. 'Do you know what it's like having this all-powerful force take over your body and use it to... oh, yeah. Forgot who I was talking to, Jean' Madrox remarks, adding that the point is, it sucked.
Bishop turns back from the controls and asks if Legion isn't dead. 'This is gonna sound stupid, but who is this guy? How do you all know him?' Bobby asks. Jean explains that Legion is complicated, and that it seems he tried to erase his existence from their collective memories, but now her is back for some reason. Long story short – that's not good' Jean adds. 'Speaking of “not good”' X-23 remarks as she looks at a monitor which depicts Thor battling a tidal wave, and an announcer can be heard stating that the Avengers have been responding to events like this across the globe, and that the scale of these unnatural disasters has forced some to compare it to the biblical end-times. Jean attempts to make contact with anyone at the Mansion, but discovers she is being blocked.
In Central Park, Manhattan:
'Hank' a voice calls out, reaching the mind of Han McCoy the Beast. 'Oh my! After all these years, why does this still scare the hell out of me?' Beast wonders, before asking Jean what he can do for her. Jean asks Hank if he is back at the Mansion, as they are returning now with injured. The Beast walks past protesters and informs Jean that he is getting back now, adding that the Blackbird clean-up went smooth, not cheap, but smooth. 'Pardon me, uninformed citizens, coming through' the Beast remarks. Jean asks him if everything is okay there. 'Seems about par for the course lately. Why do -' the Beast begins, before Rockslide is blasted through the exterior wall of the Mansion. 'Actually, on closer inspection, there might be a slight situation' the Beast reports, to which Jean tells him that they will be there in a minute.
Legion walks over to Rockslide, while Pixie, Armor, Glob and the Beast move in. A group of protesters watch from nearby, and the Beast tells Jean that she might want to make that faster, if she can. Bishop points out that the ship is on autopilot and they can leave Northstar and Jubilee in the medical bay. Jean tells Bishop, Nightcrawler, Bobby, Madrox and X-23 that Legion is an omega-level mutant, and he isn't going to pull his punches, so they shouldn't pull theirs, either. 'Out of the frying pan... and back into the exact same frying pan' Madrox mutters, before the team leaps from the jet, with Bobby ice-sliding towards the ground while Nightcrawler teleports down and Jean telekinetically lower Madrox, Bishop and X-23. 'I take back what I said about needing to kill him. I don't think this is a good idea'.
Jean instructs Armor and Pixie to go get the protesters back, that she and the others will deal with Legion. 'We were the first ones in the fight and you're asking us to go do crowd control?' Armor retorts. 'I'm telling you to go save some lives' Jean snaps, while Bishop slams a fist glowing with energy into Legion, who throws up a force field. Pixie and Glob move towards the protesters and Glob remarks 'I know you all hate us, but maybe let us help you not get killed right now?' X-23, Beast and Iceman join in on the fight against Legion. 'X-Men! Keep the pressure on!' Bishop calls out. Legion telepathically contacts Jean and asks her why she is doing this. 'I warned you' he reminds here. 'Legion? David? What's going on? What warning?' Jean asks. Legion tells her that it was the vision of the future that he was trying to protect them all. 'Protect us from what, David?' Jean asks, when, as if on cue, there is a mighty booming noise, and the X-Men are knocked off their feet.
'Them' Legion announces, looking up at four figures wearing odd costumes – Magneto! Blob! Omega Red! Angel! Magneto tells the X-Men that they have long had their differences, but that he has always respected their desire to make the world a better place, and that it is time to put aside their differences. Bobby looks up at Angel and asks him what is going on and why he is with Blob, Magneto and Omega Red. 'We're here to save the world, Bobby' Warren Worthington responds. Magneto turns to Jean and tells her that if it were up to him he would allow them to continue their  futile fights, but that their master is right. 'Magneto, if you've come -' Jean begins. Magneto interrupts her and announces that he has come here alongside the Horsemen of Life, Wellness and Bounty to carry out their master's will, and that as the Horsemen of Peace, it is he who must put an end to those who create war. 'I must end the X-Men' Magneto declares, before suddenly, the Xavier Institute explodes!

Disassembled, part 4
The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, New York, New York:
 The home of the X-Men in Central Park lies in ruin – destroyed. The bodies of several X-Men are strewn about the rubble. Jean Grey. Storm. Psylocke. Armor. Glob Herman. Nightcrawler. Bishop. Polaris. Iceman. Cannonball. Hovering over the ruins are the Horsemen of Salvation – Magneto. Blob. Angel. Omega Red. 'His will be done' Magneto, the Horseman of Peace, utters as he looks down at the bodies of the mutant heroes.
But in reality, the heroes are protected behind the forcefield of Hisako Ichiki a.k.a Armor, who has extended her shield around  the others, amplified by Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke and Jean Grey, who use their psychic powers to mask themselves from the Horsemen. 'I'm losing it!' Betsy exclaims. Jean tells her to hang in another minute, that she has to keep them hidden.
'He calls us home' Angel, the Horseman of Life, announces as he looks down at the X-Men, before he and the other Horsemen disappear.
'We're clear' Jean declares, as she and Betsy drop the disguise and Armor releases her force field. Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm asks Armor if she is all right. 'Yes. Maybe? No? I don't know...' Armor responds. Storm tells her that without her armor, Betsy and Jean would not have managed the illusion of their deaths. 'We are alive when we should be dead. And it is thanks to you' Storm adds. Betsy and Jean continue to look up to the sky, concerned, Betsy asks 'Jean? Did you see?' and Jean tells her that she did. 'Warren... he saw us here dead and he didn't even blink. I fear we have truly lost him, Jean'.
Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada.
A peaceful inlet at the edge of the island, where a small cabin stands on the shore. Beach and water in front of it, a dense forest behind it. The Horsemen of Salvation suddenly touch down on the island, and Angel remarks 'It is done, Lord. The first obstacles have been removed'.
Nate Grey a.k.a. X-Man stands on the front porch of the cabin, he wears a long open robe and a flowing garment around his hips. 'Well done, my Horsemen' X-Man remarks, adding that these early moves are some of the most painful, but that their trials and tribulations will all be worth it in the end. 'This I promise you' he declares. X-Man then informs his Horsemen that phase three begins now, and that they need to prepare themselves.
'Phase three? So what phase was kidnapping us?' Kitty Pryde asks from inside the cabin where she is chained to a chair with bonds that repress her powers.
'Phase two. Not that it matters to you' Nate replies, turning to Kitty. She isn't alone, as Senator Ashton Allen is also chained to a chair, and the uber-mutant Apocalypse is chained to a cross. Kitty tells Nate that she still doesn't understand why they are here. Nate tells that all will become clear in time. 'Why? Why abduct us and then just leave us sitting here?' Kitty asks, suggesting to Nate that he let the Senator go at least, and to let her help him. Nate goes over to Kitty and touches her face, telling her that she is going to help him – just not in the way she might imagine. He assures her that her voice will be an important one – just not yet.
'And the rest of us, boy?  Will our voices be heard as well?' Apocalypse enquires. Nate's eyes glow red as he turns to Apocalypse and tells him that he is not here for his voice. 'You're here to remind me what hell is'.
Nate's eyes revert to normal and he calmly asks everyone to be silent as he shares his vision for the world and with every mind on the planet. He explains that it is quite a thing to connect with people on such a level – almost a religious experience. 'Treat it as such' he suggests.
Nate levitates off the ground and Kitty looks at him, telling Apocalypse and the senator that he must be bluffing, that he can't possibly be powerful enough to project his message to every mind on the planet. 'Child, he has Magneto on a leash like a dog. Has turned off your powers without a word and has Apocalypse bound in chains. And still you doubt his power?' Apocalypse remarks.
Nate Grey then reaches out, his mind extending across the globe and touching the minds of the world. He introduces himself to the people of Earth as X-Man and informs them that he brings a message of peace and love – but also the truths they have so long ignored at their peril. His mind reaches a civilian in Paris, and another in Cairo. A woman with her baby near a castle, and a man on a surfboard in the ocean. His mind reaches heroes, too – Captain America, Shang-Chi, the Black Panther, and even Captain Marvel who is hovering in space. Nate declares that things have never been worse – that they are a world divided, a people at war with both themselves and nature – that Earth is doomed unless drastic measures are taken. 'I am those drastic measures' Nate claims, announcing himself as the Second Coming that the world has waited for – prayed for. He explains that he will reshape this world, that his Horsemen of Salvation will traverse the whole of the Earth, remaking it in his image. He adds that there will be painful days ahead, but their rewards will be great. 'Today is the first day. By the seventh all will be done. A new world order. Peace in our time'. '... Nate?' Jean gasps as she and the other X-Men receive his telepathic message as well.
Shortly, several X-Men gather in sub-basement level 8 of the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach. Jean, Storm, Betsy, Lucas Bishop, Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, Armor and Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast gather in front of a monitor as a news announcer reports that information continues to pour in about the message, that it appears that it may have truly been broadcast worldwide. 'It just, well, it boggles the mind to think of what kind of power could manage -' the announcer remarks, before the Beast switches the monitor off. 'So a guy called X-Man telling the whole world he's gonna bring about the apocalypse to “make things better”... that's bad for X-Men PR, right?' Bobby asks. 'Ever the master of understatement, Bobby' the Beast mutters.
Jean tells the others that she doesn't understand, that Nate was always powerful, but this is unheard of – she doesn't even know if the Professor could have done that at his most powerful. Bishop points out that they are all thinking this is obviously connected to the strange phenomena they are seeing worldwide like the lakes appearing overnight and extinct creatures everywhere suddenly very much alive. Storm reminds the others that X-Man has Magneto, Warren, Omega Red and the Blob under his thumb as if they were his pets, and he probably abducted Kitty and Senator Allen.
'And Apocalypse' a voice calls out. 'What?' Bishop asks, wide-eyed. 'He took Apocalypse first. We were too late to stop that one, too' David Haller a.k.a. Legion announces. 'I sent you visions, I tried to save Pryde and the senator, I made my own Weapon M to save the world, and yet you refuse to see! Why don't you stupid X-Men ever listen to me?' Legion declares that now they are all doomed, and it is all his fault – except that it is the X-Men's fault.
Jean looks at David and asks him if he can blame them, as when he has tried to help, things have gone poorly. 'And why blame yourself for this? I know you're pretty crazy, but how does this have anything to do with you?' Iceman asks. 'Because he created X-Man' Bishop snarls, reminding Iceman that Nate Grey came to this world from the alternate reality called the Age of Apocalypse. 'Legion created the Age of Apocalypse. Therefore...' his voice trails off, as wide-eyed and looking quite deranged, Legion shouts 'Therefore I created him! I am his father! And also Cyclops is... and Jean is! Well, not his father, but his mother... but different version of them! And I am their fathers too! And it makes my head hurt to think about it but I definitely feel responsible and now the world is over all because I tried to make my Dad happy. Don't make your Dad happy, kids, at home. It just ends in tragedy! Save  the world by being disappointing!' Legion babbles, before Jean and Betsy use their telepathic powers to put him to sleep.
Glob turns to Jean and asks if she is going to knock out the dude who came to warn them that something bad was coming, and not the dudes who blew up their house. 'It's complicated, Robert' Jean replies. 'Not really' Armor snaps. Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie and Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide gather around as Jean explains that Legion is one of the most dangerous people on the planet, and they can't just allow him to run wild. 'But he wasn't. He was trying to help. We don't punish people for trying to help, do we?' Glob asks. 'We're not supposed to, dude' Rockslide remarks. 'I didn't think so' Glob replies. Jean tells the young mutants that she appreciates their input, that they have listened to them, but the matter is settled. 'You listened to us? Like you listened to Legion when he tried to warn you?' Armor exclaims, throwing her arms into the air. Jean tells Hisako that she isn't being fair, to which Hisako declares that if she was being fair, she would say maybe the people who ignored Legion's warnings and got their house blown up shouldn't get to make this call.
Pixie asks if everyone can calm down for a second, and tells her teammates that she thinks Ms Grey is right. 'She knows this stuff. And we did just fight with this guy. And he is definitely a super creep'. 'So what? People say I'm a creep' Glob reminds Pixie. 'You are a creep' Rockslide agrees, while Armor tells Pixie that they shouldn't be attacking people who want to help them. 'We should if they are gonna get a lot of people hurt! I mean it's not that complicated' Pixie replies, while an exasperated Jean looks upwards.
In his lab within the remains of the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, the Beast sits at a work station. 'All right, little vaccine...' he remarks to himself as he examines the supposed vaccine that prevents mutants passing on the X-gene to their children. 'Your structure is very complicated, but do you actually work? Uncle Hank says not likely... but curiosity always gets the best of him. Suddenly, 'That's... hmmm... oh. Oh... oh no. No no no no no' the Beast utters as he rushes over to a fridge, and opens it. 'No! He shouts as he sees that one vial of the vaccine is missing. 'Where -? What have I done?' he asks.

'I won't say I don't have regrets... but that's the job, I guess. All this business with Legion... the X-Men were becoming a nuisance. If we're going to save the world, there are people who will stand in our way' Nate Grey remarks as he walks to the shore of Quandra Island. Nate adds that it is a tragedy, but that they can't let them stop him – and he will have to live with that. It's on him. He then asks if the X-Men suffered. 'No. It was mercifully quick' Magneto responds.
Nate thanks him, before announcing that they must go forward. He tells Magneto and Angel that he has a task for them. He remarks that all across this small globe, they find themselves on the brink of war – and he can't have that, as war is a disease, and hatred is the cause. He claims that he is working on a cure, but that takes time, so for now, he wants them to treat the symptoms. Nate turns to Blob and Omega Red and tells his faithful Horsemen that he has not forgotten about them. He states that this planet has so much to give them, but when they take too much, it hurts – so now, the time for taking from planet Earth has passed. 'Will you boys help me give back?' Nate asks. 'Sure' Blob mutters. 'Of course' Omega Red replies.
The X-Men have reconvened, with Storm and Jean standing before Bishop, Northstar, Iceman, Armor, Betsy, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, Nightcrawler, Glob, Pixie, Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23, Rockslide, Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball and Jubilee. Storm declares that she appreciates everyone's spirit in the discussion of Legion, but that they have to shelve it for now, as reports of catastrophic incidents are coming in from around the world. Jean points out that with the Avengers, Fantastic Four and just about every other super hero team being stretched thin by these events, they can't just sit on the sidelines. Jean reports that they are sending out two teams – Bishop, X-23, Northstar, Bobby and Armor are with her, while Storm will take Betsy, Polaris, Jubilee, Nightcrawler and Cannonball. Storm adds that everyone else will aid in the clean-up of the Mansion for now.
'Excuse me? I'm on garbage duty? How's that make sense?' Rockslide asks. 'This suuuuucks' Glob complains. Jean tells the younger mutants that this clean-up is important, so they can start building again. 'We're trusting you to do your job as X-Men and not act like children. That's how it make sense' Jean adds.
Armor is standing with the other X-Men students and Jean tells her that it is time to go – but Armor tells her that she isn't leaving, and that her team has been in this fight the whole time. 'Your team?' Jean asks. Armor reminds Jean that she has had two members hurt because Kitty vanished on them, then they had to fight for their lives because the older X-Men didn't listen to Legion. 'We've done nothing but be the X-Men we were supposed to and you all treat us like kids' Armor exclaims. 'Maybe we do treat you like children...' Jean begins. 'You do. And now you want me to leave me team -' Armor starts, as Jean interrupts her this time, pointing out that they are children, or perhaps it is because she pulls things like this when given orders. 'So be it. Go. Stay. Do whatever you feel is right, Armor. Either way, we don't have time for your tantrums' Jean declares. Armor then bids Jean good luck.
Twenty miles outside Ukistoval, Chernaya, a Blackbird jet descends into a gof-covered land. Storm's team are in the jet, and someone reports that this country has been on the verge of an all-out civil war for months, and whatever is triggering the conflicts today could quickly push the whole country over the edge – but they are here to make sure that doesn't happen. The X-Men emerge from the jet in the bleak landscape. Hundreds of soldiers are standing nearby, opposite hundreds of civilians, and Polaris informs her teammates that Magneto has been here. Storm asks her if she is sure, to which Polaris explains that every person disturbs the planet's magnetic fields as they move through it, subtly, like tiny ripples on the surface of a pond. 'He's a tidal wave' Lorna adds. Betsy picks up on the thoughts of the soldiers and civilians who edge closer to them. She informs the others that the civilians want them to make the soldiers leave, while the soldiers want the six of them gone – not to mention everyone is mad about Angel and Magneto, who were here – and took all their guns. 'What? Why would they do that?' Nightcrawler wonders, before Betsy motions to an enormous monument of X-Man that stands over the barren land – Magneto turned the weapons into this statue.
'His art leaves something to be desired, ja?' Nightcrawler suggests, while Storm asks Betsy to calm the soldiers and civilians down. Betsy explains that it is a little more complicated than that, as the soldiers think the villagers made Magneto take their guns – and those guns were the only thing keeping the villagers at bay. 'Whole thing was a powder keg and Lorna's dad just lit the fuse and ran' Betsy adds – when suddenly, a brick is thrown at a soldier, striking him in the face. 'X-Men! We end this now!' Storm shouts as she takes to the air. Cannonball blasts upwards as Polaris, Betsy and Jubilee ready their own powers. Jubilee shoots her fireworks at some civilians, while telling the others that she doesn't want to hurt them, but these folks aren't stopping. Betsy telepathically instructs Nightcrawler to get them out of here, and Nightcrawler teleports down to them.
Up above, Polaris hovers alongside Storm, who has created a powerful weather pattern around her. 'This is chaos. There's too many of them and they just want to beat the hell out of each other' Polaris declares. Storm remarks that it breaks her heart that the threat of death from those guns was all that kept them from killing each other. 'If fear is all that kept them alive... I will give them something to fear' Storm boasts as she fires a powerful lightning blast in between the two factions, keeping them apart.
Back at the Mansion:
'Armor, we shouldn't be in here. What are you doing?' Glob asks as he, Pixie and Rockslide follow Armor as she tells them that Jean told her she should do what she feels is right. '... and that's exactly what I'm going to do' Armor boasts as she approaches Legion. She informs her teammates that they are going to hear him out, as he is the only one who actually seems to know anything, and it is stupid that the others are not listening. 'Okay, tough guy...start talking' Armor tells Legion, who looks up at her and tells Armor that he likes her. 'The children really are the future. I mean, if there even is a future' he adds. Legion looks slightly crazed as he asks 'Where to start... where to start... so, yes, I created this bad Age of Apocalypse world. We don't really need to get into that. It was a mistake, we all make them'. He continues, explaining that X-Man came from there, and he is something very powerful – omega level. 'More than. Is there something above that yet? If there is, he's it' Legion remarks, before revealing that X-Man is trying to fix the world, to make it perfect.
Legion points out that that is not possible, as one person's perfect is not another person's, but that a lot of people are going to die. 'A lot a lot' Legion adds, before Rockslide asks him if knows how to stop him. 'Maybe... possibly? Hard to say...' Legion replies, before grinning wildly as he reveals that at the very least, he knows where to find him. Suddenly, Pixie storms out of the room where Legion is being held: 'Time out!' she shouts, telling the others that they need to have a meeting in the medical center – now.
Shortly, 'This is crazy!' Pixie exclaims, adding that Legion is 150 percent crazy – and the fact that they are even listening to him makes them even crazier. Rockslide agrees that this is seriously dumb, and reminds Armor that the other X-Men are already pissed enough at them as it is. 'Yeah, well, I'm not too happy with them right now, either' Armor mutters, before telling her teammates that if they asked her earlier today if they would be springing Charles Xavier's omega-level lunatic son from the X-Men so that he could save the world, she wouldn't have believed them – but everything he said makes sense. 'I believe him' Armor announces, and Glob agrees with her. 'Are you crazy? If Storm and Jean find out that we let that maniac loose, they'll -' Pixie begins, as Armor interrupts her: 'What? Bench us?' she asks, pointing out that the X-Men haven't listened to them at all – haven't listened to them and haven't listened to the one person they know of who knows what the hell is going on around here.
Armor tells Pixie that sometimes doing the right thing isn't easy – sometimes you have to take a risk, and she thinks this is a risk worth taking. 'We put it to a vote' Pixie suggests. Armor and Glob raise their hands, while Pixie and Rockslide don't. 'A tie. Figures' Armor mutters, when suddenly, 'Hey... don't I get a vote?' Anole asks as he sits up on one of the beds in the infirmary.
The Gulf of Mexico, fifty miles off the Louisiana Coast, an oil rig is ablaze. Omega Red and the Blob are on the oil rig, and Omega Red tells the frantic workers trying to escape that for years they were warned of the ill effects that oil brought to this Earth – millions of gallons spilled in the sea and gigaton upon gigaton of carbon released into the atmosphere every year. 'Where they hell did they come from?' one of the oil rig workers asks as he jumps into the water, where several other workers are floating. 'No idea' someone replies, when suddenly, a Megalodon bursts out from the water and catches several of the workers in its mouth. At that moment, Bishop, X-23, Northstar, Jean Grey and Iceman drop from a Blackbird straight towards the oil rig. 'That was a Megalodon? It was, right? It was totally a Megalodon. Do I get to stab it?' X-23 asks. 'No' Jean tells her. 'Just a little?' X-23 asks, before the team lands on the oil rig.
Jean instructs Bobby and Northstar to get the men out of the water, while she, X-23 and Bishop deal with Omega Red and the Blob. 'We're on it' Northstar replies as he swoops down to the water and pulls a man to safety. I've got you' Northstar tells him. 'Why is this happening?' the petrified man asks. 'Did you see that?' Bobby asks as he freezes the Megalodon, and pulls two men onto an ice-sled, boasting that he just sent that thing back to the Ice Age. 'Please, spare me. I've already heard your weak ice puns' Northstar replies. 'Not this one! I'm work-shopping the joke' Bobby adds. Northstar tells him to workshop it on someone else at a more opportune time, as they have people to save.
Back on the rig, Jean instructs some workers to make their way to the helipad, as there are some men who will help them. 'Thank you. Thank you. Thank you' one of the workers utters, when suddenly, 'I thought you were dead' the Blob calls out. 'We should know better than to trust a telepath, I guess' Blob adds. Jean tells him to stand down, to which the Blob announces that he does not want to fight the X-Men, that they are here to bring peace. 'You are forcing people off this platform to their death. I fail to see how that's “bringing peace”' Jean replies. Blob admits that a few lives will be lost here today, but that millions will be saved. 'Man created this ecological disaster. They knew the risks, the damage, and yet they persisted. Everything that happens here is because they did not heed their own warnings' Omega Red remarks. 'If you want to save them from the mess that they've made, then by all means. We will not stand in your way. We simply ask that you do not stand in ours' Omega Red states.
Blob asks Jean if she is going to stop them from saving the planet from ecological disaster – or if she is going to prove that the X-Men are indeed about helping the people. Bishop turns to Jean and tells her that the call is hers. 'Get the ship...start saving as many workers as you can' Jean instructs Bishop, as another worker in the water reaches their hands up waiting to be rescued.
Meanwhile, in Darien's Pub, Hell's Kitchen:
Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man sits at the bar as Glob enters and calls out to him. 'How'd you find me?' Madrox asks. Glob explains that he just started searching bars close to the Mansion and it didn't take long. 'This is only my third stop' Glob adds. Jamie tells him that he may as well turn around, because he isn't buying whatever he is selling. Glob stands next to Jamie and tells him that they need his help. 'No' Jamie replies. 'It's Legion, he -' Glob begins. 'No' Jamie interrupts him. '- he's got a plan to stop X-Man' Glob adds. 'Good for him' Jamie replies. 'But he needs you' Glob reveals. 'No' Jamie declares as he knocks back another drink, and asks the bartender for another, and to make it a triple this time. Jamie then asks Glob if he has any idea what Legion did to him, keeping him tied up and locked away for days, forcing dupes out of him. 'He was in my head, I couldn't get him out'. Jamie adds that the dude is crazy with a capital C. 'You know what it's like to have someone living inside your head? It sucks big time' Jamie frowns.
Jamie tells Glob that he will have to forgive him if he is not ready to run and jump back in bed with Legion at the moment. Glob tells Jamie that he can't imagine the pain he must have gone through, but that right now they have a world to save – and he is the only one who can help. Jamie knocks back the next drink: 'Well, when you put it like that. No' Jamie responds. 'Jamie!' Glob exclaims, to which Jamie agrees: 'But if I die, that's on you!'

Disassembled, part 5
Twenty miles outside Ukistoval, Chernaya, civilians and the army are engaged in civil war – with several members of the Uncanny X-Men caught in the middle. Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm and Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris hover above the ground, while Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball circles them. Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler, Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke and Jubilee stand their ground, ready for action, while two newcomers arrive – two Horsemen of Salvation – Angel the Horseman of Life and Magneto the Horseman of Peace. The battle is engaged, with the X-Men keeping the civilians and army away from each other in an attempt to prevent any deaths, while the two Horsemen make their presence known – and Storm attempts to strike Magneto with a bolt of lightning, but he throws a forcefield up around himself. Betsy shoves her psi-knife into a soldier, while Jubilee keeps several of them back with her plasma blasts. Cannonball knocks back several civilians as Nightcrawler darts around them in an attempt to distract them, while Polaris throws up magnetic fields to keep the factions at bay.
'I know what you're thinking. If you really want to help people you can't just sit back and do nothing. There is too much evil in the world, too much anger and hatred. You have to change it. But that's not enough. You can't end war by taking away guns. You can't just stop people from hating. If you want to fix the world you need to show that there's a better way' Kitty Pryde declares. 'Ha! An adorable sentiment from an adorable child' the uber mutant called Apocalypse scoffs from where he is chained to a large X. 'Excuse me?' Kitty asks, chained to a chair herself. Apocalypse tells her that he meant no offense, but that her worldview belies a naivete so often found in her kind, but he did not mean to interrupt her meaningless diatribe. 'No, I'm always excited to hear the thoughts of a genocidal maniac! Please go on!' Kitty retorts.
X-Man walks towards Apocalypse, Kitty and the captive senator, Ashton Allen and tells Kitty that there is no reason for any unpleasantries, that they are all friends when they are in this room. X-Man then asks Apocalypse to tell him what he would do if he was trying to save the world. 'You disrespect me enough to hold me captive, yet you expect me to believe you would truly value my counsel?' Apocalypse replies. 'I do' X-Man tells him. 'Very well, “X-Man”. If you actually want to be a ruler of Earth worthy of the counsel of Apocalypse, there is a simple first step' Apocalypse responds. 'You fancy yourself a god of sorts as do I. Yet you let false prophets lead the masses down the paths of their false idols' Apocalypse explains. 'Fascinating' X-Man replies. 'Yeah. Really helpful' Kitty mutters. Apocalypse tells X-Man that if  he wants to save Earth, he must cleanse it of its delusions of holiness. 'Okay. Let's give it a try' X-Man responds as he hovers above the others legs crossed. 'WHAT?' Kitty shouts.
Suddenly, holy buildings begin to vanish around the world –Vatican City. In Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and in Thiruvananthapruam, India. Golden energy spins around them – and then they are gone.
'It is done' X-Man announces. 'Nate, what did you just do?' Kitty asks. Nate reports that he has cleansed the world of its fake houses of worship and false prophets. 'Are you out of your mind? Put them back!' Kitty exclaims, wide-eyed. Nate reminds Kitty that they just discussed this and points out that she had no objections. 'I didn't think you were going to take Apocalypse seriously!' Kitty gasps. Nate points at Kitty and declares that Apocalypse has a place on his council, the same as she, but she opted not to debate, so he took up Apocalypse's suggestion. Nate adds that he does not expect Kitty to agree with Apocalypse, the opposite, in fact, but he does expect her to take this council seriously and respect any decisions that come from it. 'Are you psychotic?' Kitty snaps. 'No. I'm smart enough to know that I don't have all the answers' Nate replies, adding that if any of them knew for certain how to save the world, they would have, so he is listening to all sides and trying to find the best solution.
Kitty tells Nate that Apocalypse doesn't want to save the world, that he wants to burn it down. 'There aren't two sides to -' Kitty begins, before Nate silences her with an energy bond around her mouth. 'That's enough. I believe it's your turn, Senator Allen. What would you like to see done?' Nate asks, turning to the human senator.
Meanwhile, in the Gulf of Mexico, fifty miles off the Louisiana Coast. Jean Grey leads Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar and Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23 in a rescue mission as they load oil rig workers into a rescue jet. Jean telekinetically hovers over the water as she telepathically contacts Lucas Bishop and reports that she is pulling the last of the stranded workers out of the water, and they are all his. 'I don't want to die!' one of the workers shrieks as Jean telekinetically lifts him from an ice-platform onto the jet, where X-23 is waiting for him. 'You're not gonna die. I mean, not now. You will someday' X-23 tells him.
Suddenly, the remains of the oil rig are engulfed by strange plants that sprout up seemingly from nowhere. 'Umm...I don't remember all that nature stuff on that oil rig just a minute ago. Did I just fall asleep for a hundred years?' Bobby asks. Jean tells him that Omega Red and the Blob did something to it. 'The Blob's still basically just a fat guy right? I don't think this is something fat guys can normally do' Bobby remarks.
Jean levitates herself and X-23 over to the transformed oil rig, with Northstar flying alongside them and Bobby keeping up on his ice-sled. 'This makes no sense' Jean remarks, wondering if Blob and Omega Red were a distraction to keep them from X-Man. The X-Men come to a stop and examine their surroundings – plants including venus fly traps, and various animals appear. 'Perhaps? This certainly doesn't fit with their usual MO' Bobby remarks. 'Unless they've become eco-terrorists?' he suggests. X-23 looks at some frogs and tells the others that this is beautiful – weird, but beautiful. She adds that it feels like an improvement to her. Jean reminds her that they put the oil rig workers' lives in danger – who knows how many of them died. 'Too many' Northstar declares as he examines a venus fly trap. He reminds his teammates that they are used to that from Omega Red and Blob, they are murderers. 'But this... this makes no sense'.
Meanwhile, at the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, in his lab, Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast is examining something on a monitor, while the unconscious X-Men students Oya and Anole are in beds nearby. The Beast reminds himself that the vaccine should have been secure in his lab, he set up every security protocol. 'Note – review security protocols and upgrade where necessary' the Beast mutters as he continues to observe the monitors. He instructs the computer to bring up camera three and to replay any and all instances of anyone accessing the refrigeration unit, excluding all instances of himself. The computer then plays an image of a hooded figure standing in front of the refrigeration unit where the vaccine was being stored. 'I have you, you little thief' Beast remarks, while wondering who they are. He instructs the computer to run a comparison scan against the database, using height, weight, build, posture and movements to give him a list of potential matches.
Outside the Xavier Institute, civilian protesters are still in full force as Robert Herman – commonly called “Glob” pushes past them with Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man. 'Remind me again why we're helping these people' Madrox asks. 'Because it's the right thing?' Glob replies, reminding him that they took a vote. 'If you say so' Madrox mutters.
'COMING THROUGH! OUT OF THE WAY, PEOPLE! Please!' Glob shouts. They come to a barrier where several armed soldiers are keeping the civilians back. 'We're X-Men. This is our -' Glob begins. 'Yeah yeah. Go ahead' the soldier tells him, waving he and Madrox past. 'Oh my God...Legion did this?' Madrox asks, looking at the ruins of the Mansion. 'No' Glob replies, informing Madrox that Magneto, Blob, Omega Red and Angel did this. 'Warren? Damn, who can you trust these days?' Madrox replies.
'Hey, guys, we're back' Glob calls out as they approach his teammates, Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie, Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide and Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor who along with Legion are lifting rocks and rubble. 'Good. Help us lift rocks. Cerebro's still buried' Rockslide declares. Legion looks at Madrox and tells him that it is good to see him. 'I realize you might have some questions. I...I... you must have so many...just hundreds of questions' Legion declares as he throws his arm around Madrox, embracing him. 'You kidnapped me. Chained me up' Madrox reminds Legion, who assures Madrox that he only needed Madrox's help to save the world. 'I'm sure you understand?' 'No' Madrox replies, before pushing Legion away and telling him not to touch him. He adds that he is only doing this for the kids, for the X-Men. 'But you stay the hell away from me. Understood?' Madrox tells Legion, before Rockslide pulls open the door to Cerebro and announces that Cerebro is open. 'We doing this or what?' he asks.
Legion, Madrox, Armor, Glob and Rockslide walk along the platform towards Cerebro, while Pixie hovers above them. 'Ah, perfect, perfect, perfect' Legion declares as he sits in the chair at Cerebro. Armor asks him how he plans to use this to find X-Man if he didn't show up on Cerebro for the other X-Men. Legion explains that X-Man is an omega-level mutant who knows how to hide himself well, that he operates at a different frequency, so it will just take a few modifications. 'You sure you trust this guy? I mean, he doesn't have the best history with the X-Men' Madrox quietly remarks to Armor, who stands with her hands on her hips and points out that Legion is the only one who seems to know what is going on around here. Legion tells Madrox that he doesn't blame him for having doubts. 'There. That should do it' he adds after completing the necessary modifications to Cerebro.
Legion looks back at Madrox and admits that he hurt him and that he understands he is going to have reservations about his motives. 'I know I'll have to earn your trust, and I aim to' Legion assures him, adding that he is not the enemy as he places the Cerebro helmet on his head, he declares 'With your help, we're going to stop the man who is'. He then asks the others to step outside, and tells them that this should just take a moment. He concentrates hard, then grins. 'There' he utters before the door to Cerebro opens again and Armor steps through. 'Well, did it work?' she asks as Legion puts the Cerebro helmet down. Legion reports that he found him and asks the young mutants if they are ready to save the world. 'Hell yes we are' Armor replies.
Back on the outskirts of Ukistoval, Chernaya, the battle continues to rage with the X-Men doing what they can to keep the soldiers and civilians apart, while Magneto hovers in the air above them.  Betsy knocks some soldiers back with a psychic shield and sword, as Nightcrawler punches one of them in the face, and Jubilee causes a soldier to fall backwards by blasting her fireworks at him. 'What is Magneto doing?' Storm calls out to Polaris, who replies 'As far as I can tell, nothing'. Polaris looks up at her father and remarks that he is just watching, that it doesn't make sense. Polaris then flies up closer to her father and asks him what he is doing, what his play is. Magneto tells Lorna to stand down and that she and the X-Men should not be here. He suggests that they let these men sort it out themselves, now that the playing field has been leveled. 'They're going to kill each other!' Lorna exclaims.
Magneto asks Lorna what she would have him do – give them back their instruments of death? Polaris frowns and asks her father where X-Man is – the man he holds in such high regard that he deemed it necessary to build a tacky tribute to. 'Where do we find him?' Polaris exclaims as she uses her power to levitate the massive monument that looks like X-Man, created from the weapons of the soldiers, into the air. Magneto's eyes glow as he tells Polaris to put the tribute back – to put it back and take her X-Men and leave this place. 'This is as X-Man has commanded it and, though I do not wish to, I will fight you to preserve his wish' Magneto warns Polaris, who responds by crushing the monument of X-Man within her magnetic field. 'Oops' Lorna jokes. Magneto just narrows his eyes.
Back on the ground, Storm uses a gust of wind to knock back several soldiers while Cannonball and Psylocke stand nearby. 'Elizabeth, are you sure about this?' Storm asks. 'No, but we need to try' Betsy replies. Storm agrees and tells Sam that he is up. 'Yes, Ma'am' Cannonball responds as he blasts skywards – straight into Angel, grabbing him by his waist and forcing him upwards, higher and higher – until they are in space! Cannonball tells Angel that he apologizers for this. 'But you're not yourself and we need you back on the side of the angels... so to speak' Cannonball remarks, telling Angel to forgive him if he doesn't talk much, but the air is terribly thin up here. Cannonball comes to a stop, and Angel gasps for air.
At that moment, Magneto fires a powerful blast of energy at Storm and Polaris. They respond in kind, with Storm summoning lightning and Polaris throwing up a magnetic field. 'Do not waver, Lorna!' Storm calls out. 'I'm not sure we've got a choice. Wavering feels imminent!' Polaris responds as she digs her heels into the ground to maintain position.
Several sonic booms can be heard, and moments later, Angel crashes back to the ground. He looks up from the crater which was created upon impact and finds Betsy standing over him. 'Hullo, Warren' Betsy remarks. Warren Worthington III climbs out of the crater and Betsy tells him to come back to them. 'I don't know what's happened to you, but I know you and this...this isn't you' she tells him. Warren tells Betsy that she is wrong, that this is the perfect distillation of his true self, that X-Man has shown him the way, cleared away all the noise to reveal only his pure being. Betsy tells Warren to look around him, pointing out that this is chaos – people are dying and this isn't a way to remake the world. 'Birth... rebirth is pain, Betsy. But it will be fleeting and when we are done, what's left will be worth it' Angel explains. Warren then tells Betsy that it isn't too late for her, that they would have her by their side, the two of them together again – it would be beautiful. 'I...' Betsy begins, looking into Angel's eyes. Warren tells her that all it takes is a word.
'I'm sorry' Betsy replies. '... Betsy?' Warren asks, confused as Betsy stands before him and suddenly reveals the psychic sword she had manifested behind her back. Betsy appears angry as she slams the sword into Angel, who screams and drops to his knees. Betsy tells him that she is sorry, that they didn't see another way. Suddenly, Angel looks up at Betsy – only he isn't Angel anymore – he's Archangel. His eyes glow red as he tells Betsy that he hopes she is happy, that he hopes it was worth it – because she has taken the only peace he has ever known – she has ruined him forever!

Disassembled, part 6
Ukistoval, Chernaya, where Warren Worthington III has suddenly been transformed into Archangel. Magneto, the Horseman of Peace, flies towards him as civilians and soldiers fight each other below. 'Angel, my brother... you cannot allow the X-Men to contaminate you in this way. You were meant to be more than just an instrument of war. X-Man understands that. He wants more for y-' Magneto begins, before Archangel flies right into him, and forces Magneto to the ground.
'Whoa, whoa, whöa. Angel's not going to kill Magneto, right? I mean... we have to stop this, don't we?' Jubilee asks as she and the other X-Men – Storm, Polaris, Nightcrawler, Psylocke and Cannonball – look on in shock. 'Let Angel hurt him a little before we stop it' Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke suggest as there is a mighty boom when Magneto hits the ground.
Magneto emerges from the crater that formed upon impact and tells Angel not to do this, that this is not what they stand for. He reminds Angel that they are trying to bring peace, and asks him to look inside himself. 'You know this to be true' Magneto remarks, before announcing that he refuses to fight Angel, and asks him to come with him back to X-Man, as he can fix this. 'Please' Magneto calls out, extending a hand towards Archangel, who narrows his red eyes and replies 'No'. Magneto tells Angel that he doesn't believe he will go through with this. 'I have faith that you -' Magneto begins, but Archangel swishes his razor-sharp wings forward and declares again that the answer is no. Magneto narrows his eyes as Archangel fires dozens of deadly feather blades towards him. 'I am disappointed' Magneto responds as he throws a force field around himself to deflect the dangerous blades.
Magneto turns to the X-Men and tells them that brother Warren was at peace, and they stole that from him. 'X-Man gives his gifts for purpose and yet you cannot see. And now you must live with what you have done...' Magneto remarks as he suddenly vanishes.
Archangel hovers over the X-Men and tells them that Magneto does not lie. He points at Betsy and warns her that he will never forgive her for what she has done. Betsy tells Warren that they had to stop him, they couldn't allow any more blood to be spilled. 'No more blood?' Archangel retorts. 'You turned me back into the Angel of Death! Back into the one thing that I've been trying to outrun!' Archangel reminds Betsy, who tells him that he needs to believe that there were no other options. 'We needed you back' she explains. Archangel tenses up and, enraged, shouts 'I am not back. The Archangel is. You've put the monster in control and damned me to my own living hell!'
Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm steps forward and tells Betsy to let her talk to Warren, but Betsy assures Storm that she can handle this. 'No. You cannot. Not at this moment' Storm points out. Storm puts a hand on Betsy's shoulder and tells her that they did what they needed to do, and many lives were saved because of it, but that right now she is too emotionally invested in Warren and they must move quickly. 'Please allow me to help' Storm asks. 'Okay' Betsy replies. Storm looks up at Warren and asks him if he is still loyal to X-Man, or whether he will help them. Warren pauses, before responding that he is undecided.
Suddenly, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris and Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball look over as an X-Jet descends. Jean Grey emerges from it with her squad – Iceman, X-23, Bishop and Northstar. 'Is he with us again?' Jean asks. 'Hey, guys! What'd we miss? Whoa! Angel is -' Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman begins, as Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23 interrupts him, suggesting he read the room.
Archangel hovers in the air above as Storm reports that he is undecided, apparently, but that he is out from under X-Man's control, for what  that is worth. Storm asks about Blob and Omega Red, and Jean informs her that they were able to save those on the oil rig, but by the time they finished, Blob and Omega Red had vanished and they lost track of them. Jean asks Storm if she has had better luck finding X-Man. They both look up at  Archangel, 'Well? Will you help us find him, Warren?' Storm asks.
Hours later, the two X-Jets have landed on Quadra Island, British Columbia in Canada. 'Dammmmn... how much money you think X-Man pulls in a year to afford a place like this?' Bobby asks as the team approaches a large temple – which appears to be various temples merged together, with a huge statue of himself holding two children in front of the temple. 'It's a little ostentatious, if you ask me' one of the X-Men replies. The heroes move forward, flying, running, teleporting or ice-sledding as Storm remarks that there is no need for them to stand around waiting for an invitation.  'And you shall not receive one' a voice responds as Magneto, Blob – the Horseman of Bounty and Omega Red – the Horseman of Wellness appear at the bottom of the steps leading up to the citadel. 'Do not proceed any further' Magneto warns the X-Men. 'I believe the line is “You shall not pass”, Gandalf' Jubilee jokes.
Jean hovers before Magneto and informs him that they are here to see X-Man. Magneto tells her that they know, and X-Man knows, too, because he knows all. 'Wherever you go, you bring chaos. You bring destruction and strife' Omega Red points out. Magneto announces that this is a place of worship, a place of peace, and Blob tells the X-Men that they cannot allow them to desecrate these holy grounds with their presence. 'Didn't we just kick your butt? Do we really need to do this again?' Jubilee asks. Jean tells Magneto that this doesn't have to go this way. 'Just let us talk to X-Man' she exclaims. 'We will not ask again' Magneto declares sternly. With the other X-Men gathered at her side, Jean asks why X-Man is afraid to face them, to look them in the eyes. 'Is it because he knows he is wrong?' she asks.
Magneto responds by telling Jean that X-Man fears nothing, that he is beyond such petty emotions. 'Then why does he hide?' Jean asks, narrowing her eyes. Suddnely, there is a burst of brilliant light and X-Man materializes, announcing that he is hiding nothing. He tells Jean to say what it is she has to say and then join him at his side or be destroyed to make way for what is next – what is necessary. 'Well, when you put it like that... I mean, such a great offer' Bobby mutters.
'Nate... I...' Jean begins, but as he drops down to the ground, X-Man tells Jean not to use that name. 'But it is your name. Nathaniel Grey' Jean reminds him. 'You use it believing it will remind me of a biological bond we share. But you are mistaken. Yes, in another world I would have been your son. But it means nothing' X-Man replies. He tells Jean that everything is connected, and thus nothing is connected. 'That's cheery' Bobby remarks. Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler tells Bobby to hush as Jean asks Nate – X-Man – to talk to them and tell them what he is trying to do here. Jean reminds X-Man that he has always been a hero, but now they don't understand, as he has thrown the world into chaos, people are dying. 'Let us help you' she asks him.
X-Man stands only several feet from Jean and tells her that there is nothing to explain to her, and reminds her that they already spoke at length and that she agreed with him that the world had become a terrible, unredeemable place. 'When did I say this?' Jean asks. 'The coffee shop' X-Man tells her. 'The coffee shop...?' Jean asks, as her memories suddenly find a conversation she had some days ago with an elderly woman in the coffee shop She recalls the old woman telling her that they turn a blind eye to the horror around them because it is convenient, because it happens to someone else, pointing out that corporations rise up and grow too powerful, there is nobody to keep their corruption in check so that they must rely on corporations having a conscience – a truly bizarre and untenable position to be in. Jean remembers the old lady telling her that the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, the gap widens and fear and hatred fester and grow. The old woman asked Jean if she disagreed, to which Jean replied 'Actually... no'.
Jean looks surprised as she asks X-Man if that day he was the old woman. X-Man explains that he borrowed her form briefly, but that she was a real person who was there that day. Jean informs Nate that he walked away before she finished, that she was trying to say that there was hope, that there is always hope, no matter how dark is gets. 'And then the old woman died. Was there hope for her, Jean? Where was her hope? No, she was but another mindless casualty in a never ending war. But that war ends now. I will end it' X-Man declares. Jean asks him how it will end, as what he is doing is killing thousands – perhaps hundreds of thousands before he is finished. X-Man tells Jean that that is a necessary evil – Utopia comes at a price.
Jean tells Nate that there has to be another way, and asks him to let them help him find it. Betsy telepathically informs Storm that X-Man is impenetrable. 'But if the Horsemen's power really does come from him...then we should waste no more time with them and instead focus on the totality of our force on X-Man himself'. She adds that if they can subdue him, she believes the Horsemen will go down as well. Storm looks over to Jean, who confirms that Nate's mind is beyond her reach – nothing she says is getting through, so she thinks Betsy might be right. 'Betsy is indeed right, but it matters not. You will break against me like waves against stone' X-Man announces, energy crackling around him. 'We shall see. X-Men, take him. Now!' Storm commands. 'So be it' Nate replies, standing his ground as the twelve X-Men run, fly, teleport or ice-sled towards him – and before any of them have a chance to strike, they are all blasted backwards and then suspended in the air.
'Nate, put us down' Jean calls out. 'So you can attack me again?' Nate asks. 'So we can help you' Jean tells him. Suddenly, 'Now! Everyone att -' Jubilee exclaims as she throws some plasma fireworks towards Nate, who dodges the attack and hurls Jubilee through a window into his citadel. 'X-Man, wait -' Storm calls out. 'Pests! You really think a light show is going to distract me?' X-Man asks, while Jubilee continues to fall into the citadel – and out the other side of it, crashing into a field behind the citadel. She sits up and tells herself to get back there, while rubbing her head. But before she can get back up, vines sprout from the ground and grab her. 'Oh, c'mon, really!?' Jubilee exclaims, as a voice calls out to her, 'Hey, you need a hand, Ms Lee?' Jubilee looks up and sees the X-Men students Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor, Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie, Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide and Robert “Glob” Herman. Jubilee is surprised to see them and asks Armor how they even found this place.
'Them' Armor responds, motioning to Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man and Legion. 'Hello, Jubilee' Legion greets Jubilee. 'Hey' Madrox calls out as he starts to free Jubilee from the vines. Jubilee tells the students that it is not safe for them to be here – or with Madrox and Legion. 'We're not the ones who are getting beaten up by the ground' Glob points out. Armor asks which direction X-Man is in and heads off, her teammates and Legion following her, despite Jubilee telling her not to go that way, to leave and get help. 'We don't do that. We're X-Men' Armor responds, but as they arrive at X-Man's location, they find all of the X-Men restrained by vines. 'Whoa! This is bad' Pixie exclaims. 'Let's show this hippie -' Rockslide begins, but Armor tells him to stay back, and that they are not doing this with their fists. She introduces herself to Nate who has his back to them, during which he tells her that he only goes by “X-Man” now, so Hisako tells him to call her Armor.
X-Man still has his back turned to the new arrivals and asks if another wave of X-Men have come all this way to fight progress. 'We came to talk' Armor assures him. 'An interesting statement for Charles Xavier's soldiers -' X-Man starts to reply, before turning to them, and is surprised at what he sees. 'You're children' he exclaims. 'We're old enough to kick your ass!' Rockslide shouts. 'Santo!' Armor utters, before telling X-Man that what her teammate meant to say is that maybe he should judge them by what they have experienced in their lives, not how long it took. X-Man understands, and asks Armor to tell him why she is here. 'We want to understand' Armor responds. 'That's all anyone  wants in the end, isn't it? Life. Our universe. They contain mysteries that we aren't meant to unravel. It's as if -' X-Man starts to reply, before Armor interrupts him, telling him that they want to understand him, all this stuff he is doing – making the animals, trying to destroy holy sites and taking people's weapons – why?
'Ha. No one asked me that' X-Man replies, adding that there is a simple answer – he is dying. 'You're screwing up the world because you're dying?' Glob asks. X-Man tells them that he is saving the world because he is dying, adding that he always knew his time was limited, but he never felt it – until now. X-Man continues, telling the young mutants that their world is dying, too, and it terrifies him, and while he can't save all of them from death, he has tried that, he can save them from a life of suffering. Armor asks him if he can see that he is causing suffering now, that people are hurt and scared. 'Change is scary' X-Man remarks, to which Armor asks him how he knows he is right. 'I've studied life, Armor. All change causes pain. That's -' X-Man begins, to which Armor interrupts him, asking him how he knows that the pain and hurt he is causing is worth it – how does he know he isn't making it worse?
X-Man appears caught off guard, and tells Armor that he has to trust that the ends justify the means. He adds that he is sorry for any pain he has caused, 'But I know... I hope that what we're doing will -' X-Man starts to say, when suddenly, Legion pushes past Armor, declaring that he has had enough of this megalomaniac. 'You can't reason with insanity!' Legion exclaims, deciding that it is better to send him back to where he came from. 'No!' Armor calls out, as Legion banishes X-Man to the world he came from. 'Legion, wait -' Armor begins, but too late, as Rockslide, Pixie, Glob, Armor and X-Man find themselves transported to a barren, ruined landscape. Their appearances have all changed, too. 'Umm, guys? What the hell just happened?' Rockslide asks, his body with a huge cut on his chest, and flames darting across his back. Pixie utters something in a magical language, her appearance now slightly demonic, while Glob wears some sort of armor across his legs. 'Cool' he remarks, as Armor declares that this is bad – real bad. Only X-Man is unchanged as he stands over the young mutants in this strange new world....
