Whatever Happened to Captain Krakoa?
(A week from now)
A cat clings to a branch high up in a tree, in a snow-covered New York City. 'I'm scared – I don't want him to spend the night in a tree!' a child calls outs as they look up into the tree. 'He can't spend the night up there!' another child exclaims. 'What's his name?' a voice from above suddenly calls out. 'Joe' one of the children replies. 'That's a good name' a man remarks as he flies down and pulls the cat from the tree and gives it to the children, the sun gleaming behind him through the gaps in the buildings around them. 'Thank you!' one of the children utters. 'Happy to help' the man tells them. He wears a green, black and white costume, with his boots and chestplate appearing to be made of some form of armor. A helmet covers his head, with strange flowers growing out of the side of the helmet. 'Thank you – hey, who are you?' the other child asks. 'I'm – I'm sorry... will you excuse me? There's more trouble' the mysterious hero responds.
The mystery hero rescues someone from an explosion, then prevents bank robbers escaping with stolen money. He puts a star atop a Christmas tree, too. One day, flying through the city, he comes across Spider-Man. 'Whoa, whoa. 'sup, new guy? I'm kind of the greeter in these parts' Spider-Man remarks. 'Hell, Spider-Man. Big fan' the mystery hero responds. Spider-Man asks him his name, and the hero begins 'I'm -'.
(Six days from now)
'You can't make me take Captain Krakoa onto the X-Men... that's my call' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops declares as he stands in the center of the Quiet Council. Gathered around him are the entire current Council – Magneto and Charles Xavier, Sinister, Exodus and Mystique, Kate Pryde, Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw, and Storm and Nightcrawler. Cypher watches from a large tree, representing Krakoa, nearby. Xavier tells Cyclops that when he broke away from the Council after the tournament in Otherworld, he was proud of him, and that he is pleased with everything he and the X-Men have accomplished in such a short time, but that third law of Krakoa states that they must respect this sacred land, and that the Quiet Council will fulfill their obligation. 'Is... is this unanimous?' Cyclops asks. 'Darling, Krakoa gives away whiskey and medicine, yet only half the nations of man recognize us. They're simply not ready for what you're proposing' Emma tells him.
Xavier starts to tell Scott that the Council needs some time to properly debate the matter. 'We'll let you know -' he starts to say, but Cyclops interrupts him: 'No...I get to be here for this vote' he declares, folding his arms across his chest. 'Very well' Xavier tells Cyclops, before asking the Council 'All in favor of Captain Krakoa serving on the X-Men?' Nine of the ten members of the Council raise their hands. 'Let the record show that the motion carries with overwhelming unanimous support...and one abstention' Xavier announces. 'I adore equilibrium' Sinister, who did not vote, grins. 'The motion carries' Xavier states, which causes Cyclops to turn and stomp away from the Council, with Nightcrawler and Kate watching him leave.
Meanwhile, on Planet Arakko. Shiro Yashida a.k.a. Sunfire looks up into space. He happily volunteered to return Feilong to Earth. Shiro had already been spending his free time on Arakko anyway. On this new mutant world, his power nourishes the young climate. He receives a message from SWORD Station Two, informing him that “the crazy billionaire from Earth” is about to land on Arakko. Sunfire tells the station that he is tracking Feilong, and that as soon as he touches down, he will escort him back through a gate to Earth. 'Copy that. What about all the fear in his fleet?' the station operative asks. 'I'm not this arrogant fop's valet. If the Arakkii don't want it...I'll turn it to slag' Sunfire responds as he puts his mask on over his face, then blasts into space in spectacular display.
'Computer, I'm assuming manual control' Feilong tells his ship's computer as he speeds towards Arakko, an assortment of other vessels are flying swith him. Inside his ship, Feilong announces that after he has touched down, soft landings are to be arranged for the fleet, and that if he does not survive, pre-recorded message number one should be broadcast, with messages two and three being deleted. 'Understood, Feilong' the computer responds. Feilong notes that the moon is coming up fast in front of him, and as Sunfire flies towards Feilong's vessel, he realizes that something is wrong – Feilong is going to crash into the moon, Phobos. But Feilong discovers that breaking is not as hard as he would have thought – it seems the mutants had a denser atmosphere for the slingshot around Mars.
'Feilong to Earth... the dragon has landed!' Feilong declares as he touches down on Phobos. He steps out onto the barren moonscape, and remarks that this is not how he envisioned it, but that it will do, for now. Suddenly, in a fiery display, Sunfire appears in front of Feilong. He tells him that he is sorry he came all this way, but he is now here to escort him back to Earth. 'I can make my own way back to Earth' Feilong retorts. 'In my own time. You may go now' he smiles at Sunfire. 'Y-you're landing here? Are you serious?' Sunfire exclaims, asking Feilong what he hopes to accomplish, as the other fleet vessels begin to touch down. 'Making history, of course' Feilong answers. 'There are millions of mutants down on Arakko that will see this landing as a provocation, and -' Sunfire starts to say, before Feilong interrupts him: 'Mars. The planet below is Mars, and I couldn't care less whom I upset' he declares.
'Are you mad? You can't stay here' Sunfire exclaims. Feilong doesn't look at Sunfire, instead he busies himself with some holographic computer monitor that appears above his wrist. 'On the contrary, I can, and I will' Feilong responds, adding that he has brought everything he needs. 'It is you who will be leaving' Feilong informs Sunfire. 'All right. Let's go, lunatic' Sunfire replies as he grabs Feilong and starts to pull him backwards. 'You are Japanese. I am Chinese. Our grandfathers might have faced each other in battle, and here we are, millions of miles from Earth. Still locked in conflict...and now the stakes couldn't be higher' Feilong declares. Sunfire looks Feilong in the face and tells him that mutantdom is not at war with humanity. 'That mindset is why you will lose' Feilong replies, before asking his computer to send the transmission.
On Arakko,:'What a brave little human, making camp on our planet's doorstep' Isca the Unbeaten remarks as she looks up into space. 'Vornak will greet it!' a winged mutant with scales, horns and carrying a very large double-bladed axe-like weapon boasts. Isca asks Vornak if that is necessary, and reminds him that there are already songs about him. 'It will be fun' Vornak tells Isca as he takes flight, weapon in front of him, ready for battle.
Back on Phobos, Sunfire pushes Feilong to the ground as he tells him 'I'm your only friend out here, Feilong!' Feilong laughs and asks Sunfire if he has friends. 'How cute' he adds, before Vornak lands with full-force before them, breaking up some of the lunar surface they stand on. Vornak introduces himself, and reveals that it was his axe that cleaved the head of the Amenthii goddess of pain. Sunfire introduces himself and explains that he is of Krakoa – and that he is handling this situation. Vornak looks over to Feilong, who responds by saying 'I am Feilong. Today, I am of Phobos. Tomorrrow...who knows?' Vornak asks Feilong if he wishes to claim this floating bit of Arakko, to which Sunfire shouts 'No!' while Feilong confirms that he does. 'Wonderful – then a contest!' Vornak shouts as he lifts his axe behind his head, and brings it down with a powerful force, it smashes into the lunar landscape, as Sunfire cries out 'Stop!' as he flies above the destruction, and Feilong leaps aside.
'This man poses no threat to you – but I do!' Sunfire exclaims as he fires a blast of fiery energy at Vornak's weapon, shattering it. Sunfire then tells Vornak to stand down. 'I don't want to kill you' he adds. Vornak falls backwards, and tells Sunfire that he doesn't care what he wants – this is the best fight he has had since Amenth. 'You destroyed an axe nearly as old as Amenth' Vornak adds. He then picks up one of the vessels that landed on Phobos a short time ago and raises it above his head, while Sunfire releases another flaming blast at the ancient mutant. 'Today is a great day! And it will be even better when you're both dead!' Vornak boasts  as he drops the vessel down on Sunfire.
Vornak then turns to Feilong, and tells him that he admires him. 'You traveled far and died well' he remarks, leaping towards him – then suddenly, Feilong opens his mouth, and a powerful surge of green energy bursts forth and tears through Vornak, leaving the ancient mutant's unmoving body lying in a crater on the ground beneath him. 'My god. What have you done?' Sunfire asks as he looks over in horror, while Feilong walks towards one of his spaceships. Feilong replaces his now broken spacesuit helmet with a new helmet as Sunfire flies over to him and warns him that this won't end today. 'That's the spirit, Sunfire' Feilong responds, adding that he just wants a worthy nemesis, as he enters his spaceship. Sunfire goes over to Vornak and discovers what's left of his body – legs and wings on the outside of the crater. Nothing more. Sunfire then contacts Storm and informs her that his escort mission took an unexpected turn. He then burns the remains of Vornak.
Within days, Phobos is transformed by Feilong into humanity's foothold to the stars. Dron ships arrive every hour, carrying everything Orchis would need for a permanent base above Arakko. Gravity is increased, and Feilong uses his immense wealth to encase Phobos in technology that makes it both a Dyson ring and a greenhouse. During a survey of the surface, the corpse of Nightcrawler is discovered, and incorporated into the fabrication of Feilong's science station. It can be seen on display as Orchis workers go about their business. Feilong instructs one of the staff to open a channel to Orchis. 'For the attention of all petals. Operation Phobos has been a success' Feilong grins.
Back on Earth, Captain Krakoa descends towards gathering of mourners outside the Treehouse. An image of Cyclops is on display, photographs strewn amongst flowers. A woman looks up at Captain Krakoa and tells him that she is sorry for his loss. 'Cyclops was his favorite' she remarks, a small boy standing in front of her, holding a framed photograph of him and Cyclops. Captain Krakoa frowns, and tells the woman that he is here now, to make sure that nothing like that happens again. He then walks into the entrance to the Treehouse.
Once safely inside, Captain Krakoa touches the side of his helmet, and his costume begins to disappear – revealing that he is in fact Cyclops. 'So, judging by your new duds...I take it the Council said “No”' Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch remarks as he stands on a table in the room, and attaches some Christmas lights to the Treehouse. 'So they did, Everett' Scott replies. 'The way... I fell was so... public.. we don't have any wiggle room' Scott adds. He then informs Everett that he is going out the secret  subway entrance, as he needs to clear his head. 'Be good. I'm here if you need me' Everett calls back.
Wearing civilian clothing, and a baseball cap, Scott sits on a bench in the subway tunnels beneath New York City. Scott then goes over to a nearby payphone. 'Mr Urich? I'm a friend of Scott Summers... Cyclops. He told me about the story that you're working on. About the mutants? The one that could win you a Pulitzer?' Scott says, adding that he has some things to say, and was wondering if they could meet to discuss. 'I'd like that a lot... if I knew what you were talking about. And believe me, I'd remember writing a big, Pulitizer-worthy story 'Tomorrow's story isn't exactly investigative journalism' Ben adds, while looking at the cover of tomorrow's Daily Bugle, with the headline “Chinese Billionaire Claims Martian Moon”. Ben then tells the caller that he has never met his friend Cyclops, but that he seemed like a good guy, and offers his condolences for his loss. Scott hangs up the phone without saying anything, then slumps to the ground in the darkened subway tunnel.

The Secret Origin of Captain Krakoa
(Not long ago)Under a particularly evil part of New Jersey, where a dozen or so mutated animals are gathered on a platform in a strange laboratory. A man can be seen standing near several computer monitors. 'Welcome, my friends' he calls. 'Everyone hold! Three... two... one – cheese!' another mutated animal, standing separate from the others, remarks as he takes a photograph of the others. 'What is “cheese”?' a strange pig-bird hybrid asks. 'A power word, obviously' a mutated reptile responds. A  tray of glasses filled with champagne hovers in the air as the mysterious figure near the computer monitors starts to walk down some stairs to the platform with the animals. He wears a purple and red costume, with a cape draped to one side, and a helmet over his head. He thanks the animals and tells them that he wanted to get a photograph to remember them all by. 'Today is the day we spoke about. The great war will begin before the sun sets. Earth will long remember the blow that you brave chimeras strike against mutantdom today' he tells them, before instructing the tiger-ape hybrid, Bornan, to print that photograph. 'Of course' Bornan responds, addressing the man as Dr Stasis.
'A toast, my friends' Dr Stasis calls out as he takes one of the champagne glasses from the floating tray. He lifts the glass up above his head as he makes his toast: 'To humanity...and the genomes under its dominion'. The chimeras are given the champagne, too, as Dr Stasis tells them that this is just a little something to put a pep in their paw's step – and to get their blood boiling. The glasses all begin to shatter as the animal hybrids drop them to the ground. Their eyes are red with rage, and their calm nature has been replaced with aggression as they screech and howl. 'Go, my friends – make war! I must have his body on a slab by dusk!' Dr Stasis exclaims. The chimeras begin to run and fly down a sewer tunnel, as Dr Stasis tells them to make him proud. He instructs Bornan to bring the van around. 'And if I don't return to New Jersey tonight, you know what to do' he  adds. 'I do, Dr Stasis' Bornan responds.
(The aftermath)'Welcome back' Emma Frost remarks as she sits in the Hatchery on Krakoa, sunlight gleaming down through the branches of the sprawling tree that sits in the center of this important location. Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops sits naked on the ground and covers his eyes with one of his hands. He pauses, before thanking Emma. Emma hands Scott a visor, and Scott climbs up onto the branch Emma sits on, a blanket partially wrapped around him, he puts his back against hers and asks 'Was... was it a good death?' 'Are any of them?' Emma responds. Scott places his head on Emma's shoulder and tells her that he doesn't know how he wakes up already tired, but that he should suit up and get back, as the X-Men need him. Emma informs Scott that he cannot possibly just return to the Treehouse. 'What happened?' Scott asks as he pulls away and turns to look at Emma. Emma faces Scott as she tells him that it was very public. 'Show me' Scott asks. But Emma turns away from him and tells him that she can't. 'I've avoided it, but the news hit like a bomb' she utters. 'I need to know...and I need to get back to the X-Men' Scott declares as he walks out of the hatchery, pulling the blanket around his waist. Emma watches Scott go, and telepathically contacts Jumbo Carnation, asking him to meet her in Forge's laboratory. 'Our nation has yet another emergency' she reports.
(Earlier)'RUN!' someone shouts as a subway train pulls up to a stop. Passengers run from the train as the chimeras can be seen aboard the train, attacking the civilians. One of them roars, while, up on above ground, an aquatic chimera hisses as it climbs the stairs to the surface. 'Bring us the mutant filth!' another of the chimera calls out.
At that moment, 'All right, X-Men. We're a little shorthanded with Polaris, Jean and Rogue on Arakko – but hopefully, you're all in the mood to fight monsters!' Cyclops calls out to his teammates – Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine, Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch and Shiro Yoshida a.k.a. Sunfire as they drop from the Treehouse, their home and headquarters. Sunfire boasts that they will make short work of whatever this is. 'Honestly, it's a nice change of pace from spaceships' Wolverine points out, before Cyclops asks Sunfire to lay down a firebreak. 'With pleasure' Sunfire replies as he flies around the chimeras, surrounding them with a ring of fire. 'Good. None of them got beyond us, got it? Now, because we're shorthanded... I'm gonna swing with the big stick!' Cyclops smiles as his optic visor begins to glow.
A powerful optic blast is then emitted from Cyclops' visor, and strikes one of the chimera. The blast rebounds up to a traffic light, and is then beamed out from each individual light in spectacular display. Two of the new beams of optic energy strike two other chimera, while the third blast strikes the wall of a building and is split into three new blasts. Two of them strike two chimera, while the third lands against another building, and splits into two, striking two more of the chimera. When the chips are down, every super hero team has that one person who steps up to turn the tide. Sometimes, that person is hefting a magic hammer, or throwing an unbreakable shield, but today, Scott Summers, the man who would become Cyclops, need only open his eyes to the problem. And in the blink of an eye, the day doesn't seem so lost anymore.
'When I see you go off like that, it takes me back to what you said back at the Hellfire Gala' Synch remarks as he drops down from above. 'Oh?' Cyclops asks as he punches a large chimera. 'Being honest, I thought you were a little full of it when you campaigned for the election...' Synch explains. He remembers what Cyclops said at the X-Men vote at the Hellfire Gala: “I am the X-Men”, and as he copies Cyclops' power and unleashes a powerful optic blast at the same time Cyclops does, Synch asks '... but where was the lie?'
'Don't make me stick you!' Wolverine warns a chimera who lurches towards a civilian. The chimera begins to howl, so Wolverine exclaims 'Bad! Bad monster! Liches get stitches! Don't make me do it!' The chimera then calms down and looks sheepish, turns and runs away, afraid. 'That was the ugliest damn...whatever I've seen' Wolverine remarks. The civilian tells her that she should have killed it, to which Wolverine suggests that the man do his own killing.
Nearby, an ambulance is parked down an alley. Dr Stasis is inside, monitoring his chimeras. 'Dammit... we're not getting what we need' he remarks as he looks at several monitors. Dr Stasis opens a curtain to the front of the van and tells Bornan that he needs him to get in the game. 'As you wish, Dr Stasis' Bornan replies as he lumbers out of the ambulance. Dr Stasis has worked hard to make sure the dominoes fell correctly today. Combining his own resources with the considerable might of Orchis opened up new possibilities for his animal-human hybrids.
Two of the chimera break into a building where civilians are on an escalator. Sunfire flies in and fires a blast at one of them. He didn't hit it hard – he didn't have to. The extremely flammable serum pumping through the hearts of these beasts was a trap for Sunfire – and an instant later, the building explodes, and Sunfire is knocked back out onto the street. 'I didn't hit it that hard. Oh god' Sunfire utters. Suddenly, 'HELP US!' Two women scream from a window up above where the fire rages. Synch sees them, 'Need to sync with...' he begins as telekinetic energy begins to flow around him. 'Shiro, I'll take the fire!' Synch calls out as he begins to trap the fire within a telekinetic bubble. 'I'll get the humans!' Sunfire calls back to Synch. Divide and conquer – a tried and true tactic to win almost any battle. 'With me, quickly!' Sunfire tells the women as he pulls them from the burning building, dropping down to the ground, where Synch has burned the fire out within the telekinetic bubble. 'Let it burn...eat the oxygen' he utters. Sunfire approaches Synch and asks him how he was able to sync up with Jean even though she is in space. 'Wild, right?' Synch grins, before he collapses to the pavement.
Suddenly, 'OUT OF MY WAY, ONE-EYE!' Bornan shrieks as he rushes past a woman pushing a stroller, and yanks the baby out of the stroller. 'Never. Now gently hand that baby over, and -' Cyclops begins, before Bornan shouts 'WANT THE PUP?' and throws the baby into the air. 'Catch!' Bornan exclaims. Cyclops rushes forward and leaps into the air, where he cagtches the baby. Bornan lashes out and rakes his claws across Cyclops as he makes the leap. Save the world every day. That's the job of the X-Men. And Cyclops will not fail... no matter the cost. Bornan scurries away as Cyclops lands on the ground. The woman runs over and takes the baby as Cyclops passes the baby to her. Scott suddenly sees blood dripping down his body – from his neck. Bornan sliced him across his neck. Cyclops gasps as he falls into some trash cans on the street.
Bornan watches from an alley nearby, as an ambulance drives towards Cyclops. 'Ooh. That looks bad' the ambulance officer remarks as he steps out onto the pavement, and sees Cyclops laying in the trash, blood pooling around him. This isn't any regular ambulance driver – it's Dr Stasis. He puts his hands on Cyclops and tells him that there is good news and bad news – the good is that it wasn't a complete cut of his carotid artery...then he pulls out a scalpel and announces the bad news as he slices the scalpel across Scott's neck: '...the bad news is... now your carotid's finished!' Blood sprays into the air, and Dr Stasis leans in and tells Cyclops that he wants to try a little experiment. 'I'm going to tell you exactly where to find me, and let's see if you can remember when you come back'. He then leans in closer and whispers his location to Cyclops. Dr Stasis quickly returns to his ambulance as Wolverine rushes towards Cyclops. 'I'm sorry. There was nothing I could do for him' Dr Stasis lies as Wolverine runs past him. Civilians begin to gather around as Wolverine drops to her knees and covers her face as she cries.
And that's the story of how, in front of the world, the best X-Man fell... and paved the way for the arrival of Captain Krakoa.
(Later)'Honestly? Every X-Man should be rocking my new gear' Forge remarks as he holds up the helmet for the Captain Krakoa costume. 'I wish it was a little more “form” and a little less “function”!' Jumbo Carnation exclaims as he and Forge stand in the middle of the Quiet Council. Cyclops and Jean Grey stand behind Emma Frost and a bored looking Sebastian Shaw. Magneto can be seen, listening. Cyclops projects his thoughts to Jean, telling her that he doesn't remember anything about the day. 'Not surprising, but -' Jean begins, to which Scott reveals that Urich knew about resurrection, until he didn't. He asks Jean to look back on his chat with Ben the other night. 'Oh. You don't think I erased Ben's memories, do -' Jean starts to ask. 'No. Just making sure, because... because we may be in for a two-front war. One with the Quiet Council, and of course, we have a much bigger problem... somebody is playing a dangerous game with us. And they're ahead. And I'm really pissed off' Cyclops declares.
And, in his laboratory, Dr Stasis looks up at a glass tank containing a pair of jeans, a jacket and a baseball cap....

The Buffet is Undefeated
'Commence recording' the scientist called MODOK calls out as he holds a small petri dish of cells up to his face. He looks at the cells closely and notes that this is the inspection of the control growths of “Project Army”. 'Hello, darlings. You've never looked this good. It's a shame I have to give you away... but it's time for you to move to a bigger petri dish' he remarks as several of the genes mutate into x-genes. MODOK states that “Project Army” is short for the amygdala, the part of the brain that regulates the fight or flight response, as any registered and licensed user of that  biological software could testify. 'How I've mastered this area of the brain will remain a proprietary secret... but I'm willing to cut you in. for a very fair introductory price'.
A large cruise liner floats on a calm ocean – calm except for the bodies littered in the water around the cruise liner. Black smoke rises up from the ship, and on board, crew members and passengers alike can be seen fighting. One of the crew, a chef, waves two large knives overhead as he chases a woman, while several AIM scientists record the chaos on cameras, and others hold large weapons. Suddenly, a black submarine rises up, breaking the surface of the water. A hatch opens and the monstrous MODOK emerges, his enormous head hovering above the submarine as psychic energy glows around him. 'Cruise ships have been a favorite way for me to quietly experiment with new bugs, but this test will be quite overt' he remarks to himself. 'Refer to my prospectus for all the comprehensive data. All the best, MODOK!' he concludes his recording, as he flies over to the cruise ship, announcing that AIM thanks everyone on this cursed tub for donating their lives for science. A woman with red eyes rushes towards MODOK, but his puny feet kick her in the head, knocking her back.
The X-Men's jet soars through the cloudy skies towards the under siege cruise liner. 'Really? MODOK yelled “for science”?' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops asks, unimpressed, before he asks 'What's our source?' Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine reports that somebody was livestreaming aboard the ship before the comms went down. The hatch on the X-Men's jet opens and Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris hangs from the hatch, looking down at the cruise liner, while Jean Grey telepathically informs the X-Men that they have two emergencies – the people in the water and the people on the boat. 'No. Three emergencies – there's a cloaked ship up there' Polaris exclaims, pointing up to the clouds. 'They can hide from my eyes...but not from my power' Polaris utters. Jean Grey joins her friend and looks up to the clouds. 'I don't sense anyone up there, so...whoever they are, they can afford good psi-shields' Jean then asks if anyone wants to call it.
Wolverine suggests that Rogue should go high, while she and Synch go low, and Jean, Cyclops and Polaris save the people freezing to death in the water. Candy bar in hand, Wolverine pops her claws as she claims that she is not a strong swimmer after returning from the Vault. 'Y'all have fun. I'll let you know what I find' Rogue calls back from where she pilots the jet. She then reminds Cyclops not to forget to get into character. 'How could I?' Cyclops asks as his costume suddenly changes into his Captain Krakoa persona. Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch tells Jean that he is going to borrow her gift. 'Have fun' Jean tells him, adding 'Stay in contact... and be careful, the boat sounds like it's feral'.
'DIE! DIE! DIE!' the captain of the cruise ship shouts as he runs about, waving an axe overhead. 'If you can understand me, I don't want to fight you' Wolverine tells the captain, while Synch reports that it was a drug in the water. The captain lunges at Wolverine, who blocks his attack, then punches him in the face. 'Why do people take cruises?' Wolverine asks as she wraps her arms around the neck of an older man who runs towards her. Using Jean's telepathy, Synch explains that these people are in a frenzy, but even with Jean's power, he can't put them to sleep. Synch then reports that MODOK has some drones with him. Wolverine dodges the weapons fire that is aimed at her by AIM scientists, while Synch telepathically reaches out to everyone trapped on the boat, assuring them that help is on the way, he warns them not to drink the water, as it has been laced with something that is causing this mayhem.
Synch then telepathically tells Wolverine that he thought they could talk. 'At first, I was hoping that you would ask me about the time in the Vault. Then I thought, well, maybe I could show you with Jean's power, but now... I've decided that I really don't want you to have this burden' Synch explains as he punches an AIM scientist. 'Who wants to age a friend with five hundred years of hard road?' Synch asks. Wolverine glances back at Synch and tells him that she does have one question about their time together in the Vault. 'Shoot' Synch tells her. 'How long did it take for me to warm up to you?' she asks. 'A couple of years...a couple of hundred years' Synch responds, hanging his head. 'Broke me down that fast?' Wolverine asks, smiling as she puts a hand on her hip, before there is a loud boom as an AIM operative fires a weapon towards her. 'Hey! You two are interrupting a private chat. You fight each other – we'll take the winner!' Synch telepathically commands the AIM operatives, who begin to fight each other.
'Hey, it was 217 years before our first kiss, but who was counting?' Synch remarks. Wolverine tells him that she admires patience in a partner, and suggests to Synch that he ask her again sometime. 'There's more beekeepers ahead' she adds, referring to the scientists. Synch hangs his head and closes his eyes while he thinks back to the Hellfire Gala, where he announced that he knew he was pulling a lot of votes from his mission in the Vault, but that he is only here because of Wolverine. 'She's the one I want. Er, I mean, she's the one I want on the X-Men'. He remembers saying at the Gala. Suddenly, 'Ev! You're not going to believe what I found!' Wolverine exclaims as she beckons for Synch to follow her. Synch enters another room and is shocked by what he finds. He reaches out to Jean Grey, telepathically asking if, on the off-chance violence can't be afforded, this MODOK fella is disabled.
MODOK is in this room within the ship, a banquet hall, where he hovers next to the buffet, plating food onto a plate. 'I can't hear what you're saying telepathically yet, but I know you are communicating because of certain modifications I've made to my aural arrays' MODOK remarks, adding that the food is the only real reason to step food on these filthy tubs. 'Now, it's veery rude to carry on a private chat in a group setting' MODOK snarls as he glances at Synch. 'You turned these people into rage zombies – why?' Synch shouts at MOFOK. 'Because I could. For science...and eventually, a tidy profit' MODOK replies casually. He waves a fork with a sausage on it around remarks that he doesn't need to get his hands dirty if he can get the killing done for free. 'Of course, I didn't count on you damned kids showing up so fast. I was supposed to have dined and dashed before the first  rescuers arrived' MODOK mutters.
Outside the ship, Captain Krakoa hovers above the ocean holding a child and a puppy and reports that they have pulled everyone alive from the water, while Jean, lifting several people up in the air with her telekinesis, tells Synch that they will be with him to face MODOK in a moment. Polaris flies nearby with a dozen or so people she has rescued, inside a magnetic force field. Jean then asks Rogue howe she is doing. The clouds above them begin to part, revealing the AIM ship that was hidden. Rogue is inside, and with several unconscious AIM operatives scattered around her, she reports that she interrupted an autopsy in progress, and that the AIM scientists were here to harvest as much information from the victims as they could. She then warns Synch and Wolverine not to underestimate MODOK.
Back on the cruise liner, MODOK looks at Wolverine and licks his lips as he asks her if she has claws and a metal skeleton. 'Well, that's a funny story, but yeah, I do' Wolverine replies, scowling as she holds up two claws. 'And... how are you at swimming, then?' MODOK asks as he unleashes a fury of psychic energy, slamming it into Wolverine and knocking her back through the ship, right out over the ocean, with Wolverine screaming as the attack  takes place. 'I could kill you with a thought!' Synch exclaims as he attacks MODOK telepathically. 'YEAOW!' MODOK utters as the blast strikes him. 'Perhaps, but...MODOK has psi-shields, and I think you're missing a call from your friend. 'She says “glub glub glub”' MODOK snarls, looking annoyed at Synch. 'Damn you' Synch mutters, before racing over to a smashed window, and using his borrowed telekinesis to raise Wolverine up out of the water. Wolverine gasps as she is brought to safety.
'Now MODOK bids you adieu. Let this one go, mutants – I'd hate to see your Treehouse catch on fire' MODOK calls out as he blasts his way out of the cruise ship. 'Or maybe giant termites will befall it – the point is... I know where you live! HA HA HA HA!' MODOK laughs as he takes off into the clouds – only to get punched – hard – by Captain Krakoa who slams his fist into MODOK's large head, knocking MODOK off balance and causing him to crash back into the cruise ship. Captain Krakoa drops down to the cruise ship and hovers before MODOK and tells Synch that he would like a private word with MODOK, and instructs Synch to dial him in. 'No... stay out of my head!' MODOK protests.
(inside MODOK's mind)'I'm in MODOK's mind. It's not what I was expecting' Captain Krakoa remarks as he finds himself outside a suburban house, where a boy with mechanical arms, shovels at the end of the arms, is sweeping the snow in front of the house. 'Hello, I'm a friend of your -' Captain Krakoa begins. 'My dad's around the back' the boy interrupts him. Captain Krakoa goes around the back of the house and finds MODOK hovering over a barbeque. 'Met your son. Seems like a good kid. I'm surprised you're a father...of sorts' Captain Krakoa remarks. 'And are you a father?' MODOK asks, looking up from the barbeque. 'I am' Captain Krakoa confirms. 'It's the hardest job' MODOK remarks. 'Tell me about it' Captain Krakoa agrees, while a woman approaches MODOK, carrying several trays of food, either in hand or via two robotic arms that extend from her back.
MODOK looks at Captain Krakoa and tells him that he knows what he is thinking: “Maybe gthe world is a better off without a mental organism designed only for killing people”. Captain Krakoa admits that he would be lying if he told him that the thought hadn't crossed his mind. 'If we let you live, what do we get? What's the upside?' Captain Krakoa asks. A closer look of the barbeque reveals that MODOK has been grilling the heads of Wolverine, Cyclops and Xavier. 'Death is just the change from one state of being to another. I make tiny monsters, and when they kill, they kill for a glorious purpose. To advance our knowledge' he claims. He the grins and asks 'Isn't science amazing?' Captain Krakoa slams the lid down on the barbeque and asks MODOK why he makes monsters at all – why not make angels? MODOK scowls as he replies that angels are free to soar and often fly away – while monsters can be tamed with but a few clever or sharp words. 'Then hear are a few sharp words for you: You're going to make restitution for everyone you hurt, and if you don't... well, now we know where you live'.
(reality)'I guess I'll be late for dinner' MODOK mumbles from the floor of the ship where he crashed into. Captain Krakoa, Jean Grey and Polaris stand over him, while some soldiers aim their guns at him. The ship's captain has recovered from the infection and shakes Synch's hand as he thanks him for stopping the terror attack. 'The losses would have been so much worse without you' he adds. Wolverine is eating some food from the buffet and looks up at the X-Men's jet overhead as she remarks that Rogue was right – MODOK is not to be underestimated. 'And MODOK was right – the buffet is undefeated' Wolverine adds as Synch uses Jean Grey's telekinesis to levitate Wolverine and himself up to the jet, where Cyclops, Jean and Polaris are already waiting for them.
Later, at the Treehouse, the New York City home of the X-Men. 'Excuse me? Miss Teenage Warhead? We were so sad about Cyclops' death. We baked you some banana bread' a woman calls out as she and a man stand under the Treehouse and try to get the attention of Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who is making out with a woman with pink hair. Negasonic doesn't look up, instead she holds a finger out, telling the people to wait, as she carries on kissing.
Up on one of the tree branches, Captain Krakoa looks down and asks if Negasonic is building a whole team of girlfriends. 'She'll make a hell of an X-Man someday' Synch remarks, before asking Scott if he has a minute. 'Of course' Scott replies. 'What are we talking about? MODOK? Laura?' he asks. Synch tells Scott to hold that thought, and announces that the first thing he needs to talk about is Ben Urich. 'I know' Scott replies, as Synch sits down on the branch. 'You know?' Synch replies. 'I should've known. I wanted to tell you before you said something dumb to...one of the telepaths in your life...or did I already get you in trouble?' Synch asks. 'Double the trouble, Everett' Scott frowns. 'Ha ha! Sorry, I've made a bigger mess than I thought I had' Synch smiles sheepishly.
Synch tells Scott that he didn't know how he was going to handle Ben, and then Scott fell, and didn't get the chance. 'So... I acted. I synched with Jean before she went back to Krakoa, and I visited Ben' Synch reveals. Scott puts a hand on Synch's shoulder and tells him that the job of every X-Man is to save the world, live to fight another day and prepare the next generation for whatever they failed to fix for them. 'Don't apologize for trying to do the right thing. I've done far worse and accomplished much less while trying to protect our family' Scott points out. Synch explains to Scott that he acted out of fear, but asked Ben to give him his notebook. 'It's a rough read' Synch remarks as he hands it to Scott. Synch looks forlorn as he reveals that he just kicked the door of Ben's mind open and wiped the story, and it wasn't until he looked at his notes that he realized what he had snatched from him.
Scott flips through the notebook and comes to a page that has “Miracle of the Mutants” crossed out, and “The deathless X-Men” crossed out, leaving one title remaining - “Immortal X-Men”. Synch stands up and declares that Ben Urich was not afraid of the truth – he thought the X-Men were miracles.
Scott closes the notebook, while Synch remarks that he has loved being an X-Man, but that his head is not in the game – when he's not thinking about how he messed up Ben Urich's head, he is thinking about Laura. 'My Laura, I mean. She's gone, and she's never coming back. And it's not fair to this Laura Kinney to be haunted by a ghost of a life not lived' Synch declares, before asking 'What if I was to say I'm finished being an X-Man?' This causes Scott to frown and respond by saying 'I'd say...you're finished when Captain Krakoa says you are'.

The Rule of Three
Krakoa, where the Quiet Council are meeting. 'We have a sworn duty to protect Krakoa...and it is with a heavy heart that today's matter is presented' Professor Charles Xavier begins.
On Phobos, one of the moons of Arakko, where Feilong declares that there can be no gray area, no indecisiveness – there can only be one or the other.
And on Arakko, formerly the planet Mars, where Isca the Unbeaten announces that it will be war or peace.
Back on Krakoa, Xavier tells the Quiet Council that Orchis is dedicated to the destruction of mutantkind, and that unlike their past foes, they are hitting with both hard and soft power. He explains that Orchis knows about the resurrection protocols from their numerous casualties against them, and that it seems Orchis are intent on using their achievement to drive a wedge between mutantkind and humanity. 'Should Orchis be successful in the future, will this council be complicit through inaction?' Xavier asks. Kate Pryde frowns as she remarks that a vote to declare a secret war on a human organization will have extremely negative consequences. 'Ha! Who cares what the humans think?' Sebastian Shaw asks. 'Katherine was talking about what happens when it gets out among our people and our allies' Emma Frost explains to Shaw. 'Perhaps the less we know, the better?' Colossus suggests. Nightcrawler folds his arms and announces that he will not raise his hand if it results in the death of another, to which Magneto pauses, before uttering 'I eat my meat rare, as a reminder of the great cost of my survival'.
On Phobos, inside an Orchis space station which has been established on the moon, where Doctor Stasis declares '...and understand: That is exactly what's at stake: our survival'. Dr Killian Devo approaches Doctor Stasis and tells him that sociology and modeling was conducted on the mutant resurrection causing panic by now. 'Do we have an update on -' he starts to ask. 'All in good time' Doctor Stasis responds, adding that they have had a delay, nothing more, and that information will hit for maximum effect – and soon.
Abigail Brand stands nearby, while Doctor Stasis motions to an image of a brain on a monitor and claims that he has had an epiphany about the mutants' greatest vulnerability, explaining that recently, the post-human construction known as MODOK unveiled a synthetic drug that triggers a highly aggressive fight-or-flight response in the human brain. He states that he has some of the science from the bodies MODOK has dropped, but that he would like to free MODOK from prison and enjoin him to their cause. 'MODOK? Are we sure that's necessary?' Abigail Brand asks. 'We all agree this is a war, right? Who wouldn't want a machine designed only for killing?' Doctor Stasis exclaims. Out of the shadows emerges Nimrod, who announces that he would like to meet this killing machine. 'Well...I take it my motion carries?' Doctor Stasis asks.
A short time later, at Area 51's above-top-secret detention facility Nimrod blasts his way into the facility, while guards are useless to stop him. 'I told you my pets would come for me!' MODOK grins from his cell where he is retrained. Armored guards stand in front of MODOK, one of whom notes that comms and cameras are down. 'Should we surrender the prisoner?' the other guard asks. Nimrod suddenly bursts through the wall into the cell. 'Stay back!' the guard warns Nimrod, before the advanced Sentinel grabs the guard and tosses him aside with ease. 'The area is secured, Doctor' Nimrod reports. Doctor Stasis appears, 'Helloooo' he calls out as he approaches MODOK, who is chained up in the cell. 'MODOK, so nice to meet you, ah – I'm sorry, is it Doctor MODOK? Mister MODOK? Or just MODOK?' Doctor Stasis asks.
'I am MODOK – but who are you?' the large head responds. Doctor Stasis introduces himself, and his associate, Nimrod. 'No witnesses, Nimrod' Doctor Stasis declares as Nimrod holds up one of the guards – and then tears him in two with ease. 'Nice to meet you' Nimrod remarks. Doctor Stasis begins to cut through the shackles that bind MODOK and informs him that they are  early adopters in Orchis. 'Perhaps you've heard of us?' he asks, stating that he was impressed with that nasty little toy MODOK tested on that cruise ship. MODOK blasts upwards once free from the shackles and grins, as he tells Doctor Stasis that he didn't count on the X-Men arriving so fast. Doctor Stasis then informs MODOK that he wants to offer him a position, but not to worry, as it isn't long-term or even full-time. 'We have a goal, and when we're successful, not only will you get to kill many people, you'll also help remake the planet. Life is too short to spend all of it fighting mutants, right?' Doctor Stasis declares. MODOK grins again as he admits that he is intrigued, and asks Doctor Stasis to tell him more.
The Great Ring is in session on Arakko. Regent Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm sits at the table and remarks 'The question to be determined is...will Arakko return to Amenth and resume making  war?' Storm points out that there seems to be guilt from some quarters over Planet Arakko, and reminds the others at the Great Ring that this  world was dead until mutantdom wielded their gifts – and “weapons”. She adds that the Arakkii can be sure that there are forces out there that will hate them for this success. 'War will find you...you have no need to go looking for it' Storm declares, before announcing that she has no patience for games today, and asks to know what the Unbeatable One's vote is.
Holding a weapon in one of her hands, Isca the Unbeaten answers by stating that she abstains, but that she is interested to see who among them misses the old ways. Lodus Logus and Tarn the Uncaring sit nearby and both of them smirk in response. Storm stands up and announces that she votes no, before asking the rest of the Great Ring what they have to say. Arakko once had a mighty voice, but it was lost inn Otherworld. The voting is loud and fast but Storm does not hear a word of it. Her attention is drawn to the sacred land she stands upon, the land which speaks to her. Several vines writhe around her ankles, producing some beautiful flowers. 'What say you, Arakko?' Storm asks as she sits back down and picks one of the flowers, tucking into her hair behind her ear. 'Did you hear us, Storm? The vote is deadlocked with one abstention, so -' Isca begins, to which Storm interrupts: '- as Regent I cast my second tie-breaking vote – for peace'.
'Like Redroot, the Forest, who did not want to fight in the Otherworld tournament but did so reluctantly and only because Arakko was in jeopardy. And so the Great Ring recognizes Arakko by adding Redroot's plight to our agenda' Storm comments. 'Oh, I suppose Arakko is talking to you like she did Redroot?' Tarn snarls. 'She would not be the first planet to whisper to to me...' Storm utters. She recalls Redroot going to the tournament, and how the fates saw her trapped there, perhaps forever. 'I suspect there are not many rescue missions in the history of Arakko...so I won't call for a vote' Storm adds, while Redroot the Forest is trapped in the Crooked Market, in possession of Mad Jim Jaspers himself. Storm then tells the rest of the Great Ring that if anyone here wishes to call forward the issue, it would have her support and both her votes, if necessary.
'If an Arakkii cannot escape captivity, they are no longer of Arakko' Tarn grins, adding that in his personal experience, the Arakkii are well suited to prisons. The manifestation of Arakko suddenly lashes out at Tarn, slamming his back with a large, thick tree vine. 'AARGH!' Tarn cries out. 'Do any of you require further translation from our host?' Storm asks. 'No? Then... until next time... go carefully' Storm smiles as she walks away from the Great Ring, the leaving Idyll the Future Seer and Xilo the First Defender behind her.
Meanwhile, on Obitus, a patchwork moon forged from scavenged ships and space stations, a place of pirates – and worse. Rogue and her husband Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit step through a Krakoan gateway, Rogue carrying a tray of donuts, and Gambit holding a bottle of vodka. 'Sorry about Knowhere $%^&!# the bed and tumbling into a black hole, Cosmo' Gambit calls out. 'We brought you some treats from home. Who's your pal?' Rogue calls out to the spacesuit-wearing dog called Cosmo. A chimp in an orange spacesuit clings to Cosmo's neck, as Cosmo telepathically speaks to Rogue and Gambit, introducing them to Albert, and revealing that Albert helped him escape Knowhere to Oblitus. 'Albert welcomes you. Rogue can live here. He has to go' Albert grins, also communicating telepathically, before Cosmo tells him to shush. Albert begins to drink straight from the vodka bottle, while Cosmo informs Rogue and Gambit that he doesn't know where this Gameworld is, but he knows who might. 'The other mutant arrived just before you two, so she may already know' Cosmo remarks. “Other mutant”? Gambit and Rogue both repeat in unison, looking concerned.
Gambit and Rogue walk into another area of Oblitus, where various aliens are going about their business. One alien with purple skin begins two beverages to a table where Irene Adler a.k.a. Destiny is sitting. 'Dammit' Rogue mumbles when she sees Destiny. 'Is that really my mother-in-law over there?' Gambit asks. 'Yep' Rogue confirms. 'Ah. Better late than never, you two. The answers you seek are not in this den of inequity' Destiny tells her daughter and son-in-law, before thanking the alien who brought the drinks over. 'Of course. Let me know how else I can serve you' the alien responds. Rogue greets her mother: 'Hello, Destiny' and informs her that they were hoping to sow play their inquiry into Gameworld. 'Buy a couple of rounds, see if we coulda loosened the lips on some of these scoundrels' Gambit smiles. Destiny's cold mask stares back at them as she tells  Gambit that when she wishes for his input, he will be well aware. She then tells Rogue that the sooner this silliness with the X-Men ends, the sooner she can return to Krakoa with her and Raven, as they will need her at their side in the ordeals that will likely come to pass.
'You call me scoundrel? Bad man. But nice coat. I'll have it, Terran' a purple-skinned alien with horns on his head remarks as he approaches Gambit. 'Appreciate it, but -' Gambit starts to say, before the alien declares that he is “not asking” and punches Gambit hard in the face. Rogue then comes up behind the alien and knocks him to the floor. 'We were gonna do it the nice way. We were gonna buy drinks and sweet-talk and we were both gonna bat our eyelashes – but that's over. Somebody knows where Gameworld is...and somebody is gonna talk' Rogue shouts, causing all of the aliens in the bar to turn to her. 'Tsk. This is always the way with the X-Men. No nuance. No subtlety' Destiny remarks as she stands up and walks away from the fight, while Rogue and Gambit defend themselves from a half-dozen aliens who surround them. Destiny takes a seat at the bar and comments that she has already read to the end. 'But you insist on plowing forward as though you can somehow wish the outcome you desire into existence. Nobody has that power' she utters as she takes a sip of her martini.
'You know, Ma... Gambit and I haven't had much time to ourselves these days' Rogue calls out as she tosses one alien into another. 'Bull's-eye, baby. That's what this is really about, isn't it?' Gambit asks as he throws a kinetically-charged playing card at a large alien that creeps up behind Destiny. 'Nonsense. The world doesn't revolve around you' Destiny responds, not even flinching as the alien looms over her – before it explodes when the playing card blows up. 'I'm simply trying to correct your trajectory' Destiny claims. Gambit moves closer to Destiny and holds up his staff as another alien approaches him. 'You know, Irene... for our supposedly  greatest precog, you were dead a helluva long time – really quite an accomplishment, actually' Gambit remarks. 'You know, Remy... when I learned Rogue married a bumpkin from the bayou... I asked them to kill me again' Destiny responds.
Gambit steps back as an alien with a knife lunges at him. Gambit responds by shoving the end of his staff into the alien's chin. 'I'll bite. Whaddya got against me, anyway?' Gambit asks. 'There's not enough time in the world, or alcohol in this bar' Destiny responds as she looks down at her drink. She then tells Gambit that he is her disappointment made flesh. 'On your right' she warns him. Gambit turns to his right, too late though as two aliens lunge at him and grab him. 'Sorry, I meant my right. The future. So fluid' Destiny claims, before asking “Mr and Mrs X”? She looks over as the aliens attempt to push Gambit's face down onto a broken glass on the bar counter. 'Is that what my powerful, independent daughter has been reduced to in my absence? The wife of a cutthroat thief, assassin and horrendous gambler?' Destiny asks. 'Ah take offense to that!' Gambit retorts as he touches a martini glass on the counter, kinetically charging and throwing it backwards at another alien who approaches. 'Ah'm an exceptional gambler!' Gambit boasts as he flips the alien holding him down over his shoulder.
At the same time, Rogue flies upside down towards the ceiling, taking one of the aliens with her and slamming their head into the ceiling. Rogue drops down to the ground, and calls out 'Well... you were right, Irene. These bums didn't know squat' she then suggests that they get going. Gambit presses a cold bottle to his head and turns to Destiny: 'We both love her, Irene...but the difference is, my love don't come with no strings attached' Gambit smiles as he walks away from Destiny. She watches him leave, then her hands begin to shake as she utters 'Hate. You'.
Later on Arakko, a shirtless Shiro Yoshida is using his powers to burn through wood as he builds himself a traditional home on the Red Planet. Storm drops down from the purple sky above and tells Shiro that this is beautiful, but warns him to be prepared. 'If you're claiming this land as yours alone, our cousins may challenge you for it – as they challenged Feilong' she adds. 'Indeed' Shiro agrees. 'They are over there, if you wish to pay your respects' Shiro smirks, motioning to where three graves are marked by the Arakkii mutants' weapons. Shiro tells Storm that he practically begged them not to fight, but that after he killed the one in the helm, they stopped coming. 'I guess...I am the guy in the helmet now' he adds. 'It seems you are' Storm remarks, before asking Shiro if he is staying here. Shiro drinks from a water sack and tells her that for now he is, but that eventually, he wants to keep going. 'With my gifts...I can travel through space. I want to see how far I can go' he reveals.
'Good for you, Shiro' Storm smiles, before Shiro points at the flower in Storm's hair and tells her that it is familiar, and asks her where she got it. 'You've seen it too?' Storm asks. Sunfire tells Storm to come with him, as there is something she should see. Shiro leads Storm away from his home and tells her that he brought a Mizunara oak sapling with him back from Japan and planted it the night he was elected to the X-Men. 'Arakko has given it...special consideration' Shiro explains. 'By the goddess...' Storm utters as she sees the tree, particuarly striking for the fact a face has appeared on the trunk. 'It seems our hostess is asking for help' Storm points out. Storm tells Sunfire that he said he wanted to “keep going” but points out that it doesn't get much farther or more dangerous than Otherworld. She adds that right now, the way is closed, but that if it can be reopened, she thinks Arakko is asking Sunfire to help find her voice.

Sisterhood of the Metal Bones
(Not long ago)
The Arbor Magna, Krakoa, where the Five – Hope Summers, Egg, Proteus, Tempus and Elixir – stand over several pods. 'Remember, it's just her claws, Proteus' Egg tells his teammate. 'Right, Egg. Just her – wait, what?' Proteus asks, when suddenly, Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine bursts through her pod, claws at the ready. 'Whoops. I thought all Wolverines had metal bones. My bad, my bad. So, is... is this a mulligan?' Proteus asks, while Professor Xavier appears and takes Laura, welcoming her home. 'Moving on' Egg frowns at Proteus.
Meanwhile, on Arrako, the first mutant world and capital of Sol, Rogue sits on a grass-covered hillside, large weapon in one hand while the reddish sky glows down on her. She announces that she is in position, and that the target is coming into position now. She raises the weapon and looks through the target. 'Smile, you son of a -' Rogue begins.
(Later)
The Treehouse, on Earth, where the heroic X-Men are meeting in their communications room. Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch informs his teammates that their collaboration with Forge worked like a charm, as the scanner rifle can take a complete snapshot across spectrums to give them total information awareness of an entire installation with a single trigger  pull. The X-Men look up at large screens, which show a variety of blueprint schematics. Rogue, wearing her classic yellow and green costume now, reports that she scanned Arakko's moon – occupied moon – Phobos. She states that Orchis has created a denser gravity, a breathable atmosphere under a dome and a direct-to-Earth teleportation gate. Shiro Yoshida a.k.a. Sunfire states that Orchis already have considerable defenses. 'And the position is reinforced daily -' he begins, while Rogue points out that it is not ust a military outpost for Orchis, it is also a public relations boondoggle, as human civilian guests are present at random intervals. “Human shields” Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris quotes as she draws an “X” in the foam of her coffee.
'Exactly' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops agrees. He wears his Captain Krakoa costume and tells his teammates that Feilong is a proud man, and clever, so they should not underestimate him or any of his post-human allies. Synch motions to something on the screen and asks what it is. 'Is that a mutant?' he enquires. 'Yeah. It's... Nightcrawler's body' Rogue reveals. Sunfire explains that Nightcrawler died on Phobos saving Arakko prior to Feilong's landing, and his remains now appear to be part of the décor. 'Ah don't think he shoulda decorated with mah friend' Rogue remarks, while Wolverine remarks that there is adamantium up there, too. 'Yes, unfortunately Logan's left enough metal skeletons for Orchis to make a hall of Wolverines' Jean Grey points out. Wolverine declares that there is one alive, and Sunfire realizes that she is right. Wolverine puts her mask on and tells the others that it is a smaller amount of metal, enough for a woman or a child – and that it is in a box. 'Whoa. Let's talk about -' Jean suggests, but Wolverine scowls at her: 'Try to stop me' she snarls.
A short time later on Phobos, inside one of the Orchis facilities. Orchis personnel receive a shipment inside large crates, and one of them announces that it is the last shipment for the day. 'See you guys tomorrow' another of them calls out. Nearby, Feilong is taking a tour with several students, who bow before him and take photos with their phones. 'Thank you, Feilong' one of them calls out in their native Chinese. 'Of course, we do anything for our children' Feilong responds, before he tells the children that as of their return home, they are now officially China's youngest non-terrestrial explorers. He instructs them to go back through the quantum tunnel to their parents, and the children walk through the portal within the Orchis facility, and vanish. A short moment later, Feilong turns to one of the newly arrived crates when he hears a SNIKT noise, before he steps through the quantum tunnel himself, and disappears.

The crate where the SNIKT was heard is suddenly cut open by Wolverine's deadly claws, and Laura Kinney emerges from the crate. The plan was hatched in less than an hour, but it was almost a day before Orchis troops carried Wolverine onto Phobos. She tosses aside an oxygen tank which she used to stay alive, and stretches before she starts to explore the facility. The idea was to get in and out before anyone knew she was there. The X-Men took bets on how long that plan would last. Laura was irritated by this and wondered if they would have taken bets if this was Logan's mission. She pauses at a corridor while remembering Cyclops telling her that Logan would have opened the betting. Laura hangs from beams running above the corridor as two Orchis soldiers walk underneath her. None of the X-Men tried to talk her out of sneaking onto Phobos. The black science that conjured her from Weapon X's DNA cloned many sisters of Laura Kinney – so if there was even the tiniest chance that one had been captured, Laura would stop at nothing.
Laura drops down behind the soldiers, then shoves her claws into a control panel on a nearby wall, which opens the door to a darkened room. The full defensive capabilities of Phobos are still being analyzed, and Krakoa's telepathic EAR – Earth-Arakko-Relay – satellites, are a secret, so telepathic silence is to be maintained unless in an emergency. Wolverine approaches the stasis tank, connected to several cables, and she uses her claws to slice the cables. If she was to fight, she would go it alone. 'Hang on -' Wolverine calls out '- I'll have you free in a sec' Wolverine tells whoever is inside the tank – and then regrets her decision. 'Oh, hell' she utters as Lady Deathstrike growls and leaps from the tank, her own claws at the ready, she asks 'Where's Stasis?' as she lashes out at Wolverine. 'I'll kill you all!' Deathstrike shrieks. They back away from each other and Wolverine tells Deathstrike to hang on. 'You're a prisoner of -' Wolverine begins, '- the X-Men?' Deathstrike asks. 'He traded me to Krakoa'.
Wolverine retracts her claws and explains to Deathstike that she found her here, and that she doesn't want to fight her, but if she had to, then it would go as well as the last time the two of themscrapped. 'If you didn't want a fight... you said the wrong thing!' Lady Deathstrike snarls as  she lashes out, striking blood as her claws rake across Wolverine's arm. 'Tsk' Wolverine mutters as she pops her own claws. 'I tried the easy way' Wolverine frowns as she lunges towards Deathstrike, then suddenly, she pops the claws between her toes, and shoves them into Deathstrike's stomach, causing her to scream in pain. Deathstrike keels over, clutching her wounds, while Wolverine tells her to listen, and explains that she thought she was someone else. Deathstrike gasps, and Wolverine tells her to heal up – but Deathstrike reveals that she can't, and collapses to the ground, hitting her head with a THUD.
Deathstrike props herself up, and utters 'It's... the damn metal... the adamantium'. Wolverine goes over to her, and realizes that the adamamtium is poisoning Deathstrike. 'I've seen it before. It'll be the end of us all' she adds. 'Me first' Deathstrike replies. 'What little there is left of me to be able to be poisoned to death'. She reveals that Dr Stasis said he could help her, then changed his mind, said she was more machine than human, so Orchis passed her between their mad scientists. 'Where on Earth am I?' Deathstrike then asks. 'Wrong planet' Wolverine replies, before extending a hand. She tells Deathstrike that it is a long story, and suggests they get out of here.
Wolverine helps Deathstrike to walk and they exit the room where she was being held captive. Wolverine tells Deathstrike that the teleporter is just up the way. Wearily, Deathstrike asks Wolverine why she is helping her. 'Why're you asking? Would you prefer to be on your ass?' Wolverine responds. Suddenly, she picks up a scent. '$#%&' she mutters. 'Feilong came back'. Indeed, Feilong is watching on a monitor and sees Wolverine and Deathstrike making their escape, entering a part of the complex where orchid flowers are being grown. 'I left my glasses, and I turn the lights back on to find the cockroaches scurrying about'.
Back at the X-Men's Treehouse: 'Wolverine's been found out!' Jean Grey announces. Rogue and Sunfire look unhappy as they hand some cash over to a smirking Polaris, while Synch asks Jean what the plan is. 'Hang on' Jean tells him.
'Such a shame. The orchids were coming along nicely' Feilong remarks as he presses a button on the monitor station in front of him.
'Jean, if you can hear me – he's venting us into space. Ask Rogue how she is – at catching a fastball special!' Wolverine projects her thoughts to Jean as she holds onto Deathstrike, and the two of them are blasted into space, along with the orchids.
'Rogue – fly now!' Jean cries out telepathically. Rogue vanishes in a blur, and a trip to the Healing Gardens is in order for the x-Men who were deafened by Rogue's supersonic boom. The X-Men have no direct gate from the Treehouse to Arakko, so Rogue flies into a gate to Krakoa, in order to slingshot to the next planet over.
'Guide me in, Jeannie' Rogue projects her thoughts as she is propelled through the gateways. Jean reports that Wolverine and Deathstrike are dropping too fast though space. Rogue asks if they are alive, and Jean tells her that they are – for the moment. Rogue flies up from Arakko, 'Then that's all ah need. Back when we played softball at the school...I was a golden glove' Rogue smiles.
Later, back at the Treehouse. 'How's the patient?' Cyclops asks as he enters the medbay, where Wolverine stands over Deathstrike, who has been hooked up to blood. 'She'll live. Thanks to some high-octane Wolverine blood' Laura replies. Cyclops puts a hand on Wolverine's shoulder and tells her that she did great. 'Reminded me of what you said back at the Gala' he adds. Wolverine remembers the Gala, where she was caught off-guard, prawns skewered on her claws as she told mutantkind that she knew Synch was throwing his vote to her, and promised them that she was not worth taking ahead of him, but that she didn't want to use her claws to do anything other than help people, so if that's what they wanted, then she was in.
'Good news!' Synch calls out as he enters, carrying boxes of takeout food. 'I walked to House of Nanking. Dinner's on!' he remarks, before adding that trying to ignore Rogue and Destiny is getting to be a bummer. Cyclops takes one of the takeout boxes and tells Synch that it is easy to look like you're ignoring someone or something from behind a visor. 'I highly recommend it' he adds.
'Thanks, Wolverine' Deathstrike calls out. Wolverine looks over and sees that Deathstrike has gotten up from the table and is not hooked up to the blood supply. 'You're up?' Laura asks. 'Want to stay for Chinese?' Deathstrike waves and replies 'Nah... gotta fly' as she leaps out of the Treehouse. 'You're welcome' Wolverine smiles.
Standing near Krakoan portal, Rogue looks at Irene Adler a.k.a. Destiny and tells her that there are always going to be things to fix, but that she is acting like this world needs to be burned to the ground. 'Sometimes fire -' Destiny begins, but Rogue interrupts her, telling her that she is wasting her gifts. 'What a shame it is for you to return and spot all the icebergs... and then delight as we plow into them' Rogue snaps as she turns and walks away. Destiny pauses, before calling out after Rogue, telling her that she will come to see things her way, and that she doesn't relish it. 'It will change you' she adds, before stepping through the portal, she tells Rogue 'You already know the way to Gameworld. As your husband's “small blind”'.
Rogue soon steps into another area of the Treehouse, where her husband Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit is playing cards with Forge, Black Cat and the Thing. 'Aw, crud. I think we're about to get our butts kicked again' the Thing mutters. Rogue ignores that comment and asks Remy if she can borrow him, assuring him that it won't take long. Gambit then excuses himself from the game.
Rogue and Gambit sit in a communications room, with Gambit reclining in a chair, feet up on a desk, he asks Rogue if she is sure about this. 'She said “small blind”' Rogue quotes Destiny. 'Well, don't tell him that's my name for him, or he'll rip off my face and -' Gambit begins, when suddenly, 'Hey, Rocky!' Rogue exclaims as Rocket Raccoon appears on one of the monitors. 'Anna Marie! You know, you're the only one I let call me that' Rocket remarks, before asking Rogue why she only hits him up when she needs something. 'Who says I need something, Sugah?' Rogue grins at Rocket. 'Wait – he's “Sugah”?' Gambit asks, so shocked that he sits up in his chair and drops some of his playing cards. 'C'mon, what kinda rube do ya think I am?' Rocket asks. 'Well, I did want to talk to you about Gameworld' Rogue admits.
Rogue can only see Rocket's face on her screen, and Rocket responds by saying 'Gameworld, huh? I'm guessing it's about the “high-stakes games” that I, uh, don't know nothing about. I dunno why you think I'd know about this place – I mean, that place. I mean – okay? What do you want to know?' as he stands on a chair at a table where he plays a game with several other aliens within Gameworld.

A Busted Hand
(Not too long ago)
'Welcome back to the MOJOWORLD+ live investor day special!' the gluttenous monstrosity called Mojo announces from his control booth, where he is surrounded by televisions and cameras. 'Hold for applause -' someone announces to Mojo, and as a loud applause is heard, Mojo tells his viewers that in just a bit they will have some major X-news. 'But before we get you your favorite and not-favorite  mutants, let's have an exclusive update on the launch of Gameworld!'
A small green-skinned goat-like creature then interrupts Mojo, informing him that they have an emergency. 'Well, it's a good thing we're not really live, right, little mouse?' Mojo remarks, before asking what is so important. 'Somebody scary is here to see you. It's... it's a lawyer' the assistant utters, before quickly hiding behind a stack of televisions nearby.
Mojo leans over – as much as possible for him – and stares down at a small being with what appears to be a clam shell for a head, wearing a suit and carrying a tiny briefcase. 'Nothing is more important to the future of Mojoworld than gambling. I hope you don't bring bad news' Mojo tells the lawyer. The lawyer informs Mojo that it appears the majority of his shareholders have developed what amounts to a fungal infection. 'Fungal infection?' Mojo asks. The lawyer reports that while they were recovering, the board received an offer they could not refuse – their lives for the company's interest in the casino. The lawyer then asks Mojo what his instructions are. A furious Mojo narrows his eyes and glares at the lawyer: 'Damn Cordyceps Jones...Tell the money guys...make it look like we're shorting Earth. I want the highest jackpot to be the home of the X-Men and the Avengers...if I can't have Gameworld, THEN NOBODY CAN!' Mojo shouts, laughing, before adding that they will see how Cordyceps jones deals with the best of what that mudball Earth can throw at him.
(Now)
The strange space station known as Gameworld. Earth has seen an uptick in the number of alien incursions after Arakko was reborn on Mars – but that was theb opposite of what was supposed to happen. Rather than wait for another extinction level event, the X-Men have gone on the offense. Those X-Men are Jean Grey, Rogue, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris and Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine, who have arrived dressed to kill, wearing their glamorous costumes from the previous Hellfire Gala they attended. A strange alien with several red eyes welcomes them and asks them what they are going to do first. 'The spas? The shopping?' to which Rogue opens a box, revealing a dark object inside. 'Is that Mysterium?' the alien enquires. Rogue assures the alien that they have more where this came from. The alien laughs nervously and tells the women that they have earned Gameworld's most generous line of credit. He welcomes them to Gameworld and wishes them the best of luck. 'We make our own luck' Wolverine snarls at him as the X-Men turn and walk away.
(A short time ago)
Down in Gambit's extralegal gambling den in the X-Men's Treehouse. Rocket Raccoon shuffles some playing cards and remarks that Gameworld's a new casino, and that if the players there are gambling on your fate, then it's bad luck for ya. 'One day, your planet exists, the next day, it's busted out. When somebody decides it's worth more dead than alive. Blam! That's it!' Rocket explains that there are corporations that go through and strip the world for parts – the money  and suspicion are laundered through Gameworld, which is practically its own solar system, so it's not like there's strict accounting. Rocket reveals that there are psi-dampeners for security. 'Like that would ever stop Jean, right?' he laughs while flipping some cards over and states that there are psi-alarms, which is more problematic. 'Meat wrapped robots whose only gig is to sniff out the big brains. The joint's really something'. Rocket then adds that he is happy he got to see it once, before whatever the X-Men are about to do to it happens.
(Now)
'Well, Rocket was right on the money. This place sure is something' Rogue remarks as she and the others walk past an area where extravagant clothing is on sale. 'Capitalism's final form. Gambling on the ruin of worlds' Jean tells her friends, adding that, as expected, the psi-dampeners are laughable, but the psi-alarms less so. 'So we stick to the plan' Polaris asks. Wolverine tells the others to have fun, and announces that she is off to play “the scrapper”. 'Be safe' Jean calls out as the women walk off in four different directions. 'Well, helloooo....' Lorna suddenly utters, coming to a stop in front of a very interesting green, yellow and white dress. She is fixated on the garment and decides that she has a few minutes.
On Earth, at the X-Men's Treehouse, where Shiro Yoshida a.k.a. Sunfire stands on one of the walkways linking various parts of the Treehouse. Two of the Avengers are with him – Captain Marvel and Iron Man. Sunfire thanks the Avengers for dropping in, and tells them that he didn't really notice an uptick in attacks from space. 'Wow. Seriously, Sunfire?' Iron Man responds, hands on his hips. Captain Marvel folds her arms and asks Sunfire if he knows how it looks to the Avengers. 'The X-Men blast into space in some big hurry and they leave you here to watch the planet. You're on goalie duty' Captain Marvel adds. Sunfire hangs his head, before replying 'If that were true... the goalie is the most important player on the team!'
At that moment, in a particularly evil part of New Jersey, Captain Krakoa (secretly Scott Summers in disguise) and Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch are on the trial of the mysterious Dr Stasis. They climb down into a tunnel beneath the city, and as they trudge through the murky waters, Synch informs Captain Krakoa that the Avengers are at the Treehouse, and he used Jean's powers to listen in. 'Man, does everybody know which buttons to push on Sunfire?' he asks. Captain Krakoa tells Synch that is certainly true, but that he doesn't know if they would gain anything by lying to the Avengers. Captain Krakoa adds that Earth is a pinata on Gameworld because they took Mars. 'What's the upside of not telling the truth?' he asks. 'When you asked me to synch with Wolverine, I didn't know you'd be dragging my heightened senses into the sewer' Synch mutters. Captain Krakoa apologizes and adds that Logan always complained, too, and that he thought it was worth a shot to try to follow the monsters that attacked them. 'Actually, the monsters went to the right – and someone covered in your blood bumped up against the wall and went to the left' Synch reveals as he shines a torch down the tunnel. 'Then... we each have a path. Be safe' Captain Krakoa remarks as the men separate and go down a different tunnel each.
Back on Gameworld, Wolverine is perched on a column and looks down on the Gameworld security officers who stand below her. They suspect nothing. Wolverine suddenly drops down behind them. Just hard enough to be heard. Trying to get captured is a delicate balance. 'Heya, toots. Nice to meet you' a voice calls out. Wolverine is surprised, and the guards turn to her, a strange substance emerging from their mouths. 'You didn't think you could land on Gameworld and hide yer adamantium, did you?' one of them asks. 'What kind of casino would I run?' the other asks. Except it's not the guards speaking – it's Cordyceps Jones, the strange alien lifeform, who emerges from both of the guards. 'What kind of boss would I be?' Wolverine begins to cough, and covers her mouth as she collapses to the floor, and her body thrashes about. Cordyceps tells her to have more fun – as fungus, and to be a dear and introduce him to her friends.
At that moment beneath New Jersey,:'I guess Mr Stasis is getting rid of the evidence' Synch declares as he walks into a chamber where the tiger-creature called Bornan is throwing the bodies of other hybrid creatures into a large flaming furnace. 'He'll regrow us when he needs us, and... it's Doctor Stasis' Bornan corrects Synch, before he sniffs the air and adds 'Forgive me if I don't duck tail – for every mutant pretending to be the Wolverine!' Synch narrows his eyes and warns Bornan not to test him. Bur Bornan ignores that warning and leaps towards Synch, growling, his claws at the ready. Synch growls in response, and pops claws that he “borrowed” from Wolverine – and uses them to slice Bornan in half. 'You didn't let me finish. Fact is... I've been Wolverine longer than anyone alive' Synch boasts, as the two halves of Bornan fall into the water around him.
On Gameworld, Rogue is on a balcony overlooking the festivities below as Jean quietly speaks to her via radio communicator. She reports that thje engines are black holes, so if they sabotage them, none of them will get out of here alive. Jean adds that Wolverine should be back from security by now. Rogue tells her that she is on her way to rendezvous from her scout to meet Polaris. A moment later, Rogue turns around and exclaims 'Wait... did... did you go shopping?' as she sees Polaris wearing the dress from the shopping gallery earlier. 'I did – and I learned that Gameworld is run on slave labor' Lorna replies, while showing off her glamorous new outfit. She reveals that if the workers here get out of line, Cordyceps will allow wagers on their planets. Lorna then reports that Jean is in place, and that it is time for a distraction. She motions to some cyborgs on a podium nearby and explains that they are slot machines. 'Those are slot machines?' Rogue asks. 'They have easy buttons for me to press' Lorna points out, as she easily takes control of their mechanics, and causes hundreds of coins to be ejected from the slot machines, into the hands of the delighted crowd below.
Multiple house-breaking jackpots ring out across the floor, and security are ordered to the slot machines. They rush past Jean Grey, and all tge pawns are lured out as the queen slides into position. She finds several aliens standing around a table, using various controls to end a young world rich in resources. Jean only has one thought: 'Never again' before she gets the attention of the aliens, telling them that they have battered her home for amusement, trying to kill them off and break their planet apart to fund this grotesque palace she stands in. 'If you stay at this table and you seek to profit off the demise of my home... then you gamble more than you realize, and none of you are safe' Jean announces. A yellow-skinned alien laughs, and calls out 'A Terran broad gets to watch as I finish off her ugly mud ball. Look, toots, don't feel bad. I'm only betting what I already won, so...ha ha. What do I got to lose?' he asks. 'That hand for starters' Jean responds as she suddenly uses her telekinesis to break the alien's hand, causing him to cry out in pain and drop the dice he was holding.
'I was Marvel Girl. Now I am Jean Grey. I did not even let the Phoenix command me... so what chance do you have?' she asks the aliens. 'You attacked my home and sought to profit off our dead. Remember this day, when you received Krakoa's mercy. Now run for your lives' Jean warns the aliens, before she shouts 'Show yourself, Cordyceps Jones!'
The horrid fungi alien appears, connected to the two guards still, and with Wolverine under his control. 'Here I am, Red... in fact, I'm kind of all around you!' Cordyceps laughs, before admitting that he is impressed, although points out that he has Jean's friend, who has come to see things his way. Wolverine lunges at Jean, who knocks her back with a telekinetic shove. Cordyceps tells Jean not to feel bad though, because she is going to come around, too. 'You think everyone is afraid of me now? Wait till I've got the freaking former Phoenix wrapped around my little finger'. Cordyceps tells Jean to relax and breathe deep, and laughs as fungi spoors float around a horrified Jean Grey.
Back in the tunnels beneath New Jersey, 'Is it done, Bornan?' Doctor Stasis calls out when he hears someone enter his laboratory, where he sits reading some papers. 'Stand up, Stasis' comes the response – it's not Bornan. 'It's “Doctor,” actually' Doctor Stasis replies as he looks over to the entrance of the chamber and sees who his visitor is. 'Nice to have you here, “Captain Krakoa.” Doctor Stasis remarks, before he stands up and picks up his walking cane. 'But no need to charades down here, Cyclops. And you X-Men won't be able to mess with my mind a long as I'm wearing my mask' Doctor Stasis boasts. Cyclops steps forward, having discarded his Captain Krakoa disguise and tells Doctor Stasis that he needn't worry about his betters, as he is here alone. 'You came to face your nemesis...alone?' Doctor Stasis asks, confused. He reminds Cyclops that it didn't go so well for him the last time they were alone together. 'I don't know whether to laugh or to be insulted' Doctor Stasis adds.
Doctor Stasis attempts to punch Cyclops, but the X-Man ducks the blow, and then reaches forth with his own punch, smashing his fist into Doctor Stasis' helmet. 'Definitely feel insulted – but leave room for worse. I haven't begun to go to work on you yet'. Doctor Stasis crawls to reach his cane, which doubles as a sword, and tells Cyclops that he hates him. 'How can mankind not hate cancer?' Doctor Stasis asks as he attempts to strike Cyclops with the sword, but he misses. 'YOU PEOPLE ARE A DISEASE SPREADING FROM A BLOATED TUMOR OF AN ISLAND!' Doctor Stasis shrieks. Cyclops has dropped to the ground, and Doctor Stasis raises his sword overhead, bringing it down on Cyclops, who grabs it between his hands. 'AND BY MY SURGEON'S HAND – YOU WILL BE EXCISED!' Doctor Stasis boasts. 'I've heard it all before' Cyclops frowns, before he unleashes a powerful optic blast at close range.
The blast strikes Doctor Stasis with full-force, shattering his helmet and knocking him backwards across the laboratory. Cyclops is shocked. 'You' he utters, as he sees someone who looks like Mr Sinister staring up at him from beneath the broken helmet. 'I'm sorry...have we met?' Stasis, who sports a black club symbol on his forehead, smirks.
