When Cometh – the Stark Sentinels
Aboard an Orchis station, where, after a long day of quietly and efficiently committing genocide against the mutants, there is nothing Doctor Stasis enjoys more than eating with clones of his family. 'What a disappointment you didn't even ask me how my day was' Dr. Stasis remarks, before announcing that this meal is concluded. He wipes the side of his mouth with a napkin, while the clones of his wife and child fall face-first into the plates of food on the table in front of them. When supper is over, so is “family time” in the Stasis household.'I had to see this pitiful charade for myself' a voice calls out. 'Who's -? YOU!' Dr. Stasis exclaims, shocked, as he turns around and sees the red-skinned woman with white hair standing behind him. Her name is Mother Righteous, and she addresses Dr. Stasis as Nathaniel, and asks him if he has ever been sadder. 'R-Rebecca? How can this be? You're not one of my creations -' Dr. Stasis stammers as he stands up.'Ha. Hardly. Today, you may call me Mother Righteous' the mysterious woman remarks as she lifts the head of the clone up from the plate of food. 'I haven't been Rebecca Essex, devoted wife of Nathaniel, for many lifetimes. This masquerade is truly vile, luv' she declares, before informing her former husband that she is here with news that should improve his lot. 'I know some things, you don't. For instance... that you're a complete fraud' Mother Righteous exclaims as she sits on Dr. Stasis' lap. 'You thought you were the original Nathaniel Essex?' she asks. 'I came to America when my old world collapsed. I am the original' Dr. Stasis exclaims. Mother Righteous touches the club symbol on Dr. Stasis' forehead and tells him that they both know that is not true. 'How else do you even explain my existence?' Mother Righteous asks.Mother Righteous continues, noting that the real Nathaniel liked his games, and that they suited him well. 'He put one of us in every corner, didn't he? Insurance that he'd end up on the winning team' she remarks. She grins wickedly as she leans over Dr. Stasis, informing him that she is not going to play games with him, and that she is here to tell him that she is taking an interest – possibly a controlling one – in Orchis. 'Well, as director of Human Resources, you'd think I'd know about any openings...' Dr. Stasis begins, while Mother Righteous reaches for a glass of wine – until Dr. Stasis grabs her hand and tells her that he assumes she is intending a hostile takeover. 'Ow. Annoyed once more by an unwanted little prick' Mother Righteous responds as she pulls her hand away. Dr. Stasis claims that he is totally off-balance here, and that he needs time.As Mother Righteous rubs her hand, Dr. Stasis holds up his – revealing a small pin under one of his gloved fingers, he claims that it is a little jab to keep them on equal footing until he can determine what is real. 'So think twice before threatening me' he snarls. Mother Righteous sucks on her hand to try and remove the substance Dr. Stasis injected her with, and tells him that he does have the man's arrogance. 'But while you are made in his image, you're not the man. And I... am not your wife!' Mother Righteous declares as she reaches down and grabs Dr. Stasis by his genitals, causing him to scream in pain. Dr. Stasis falls to the floor, clutching himself as he whimpers, Mother Righteous remarks that she doesn't usually get so hands-on, but that she is making an exception tonight because she is going to be very busy and doesn't want to nurse a fragile male ego.Lying at Mother Righteous' feet, Dr. Stasis utters 'You and I, hearts and clubs – the disgusting one with the diamond on his forehead... and there's a spade to be played out there. There's a game afoot, and I intend to be its winner'. Dr. Stasis suggests to Mother Righteous that they are stronger together, but Mother Righteous puts a foot on Dr. Stasis' face and tells him that the ignominousness of this evening is enough rubbish for this life, and that she hopes someday he will thank her for the boundaries she is establishing. Mother Righteous points a finger in Dr. Stasis' face as she offers him a final thought: 'Make no attempt to have a future with me. And mind what I said: No more clones of your wife or son. Not. A. single. One, luv'. Horrified, Dr. Stasis looks up at Mother Righteous and utters 'But, darling – you know I hate to eat alone'.On Earth, in the Bronx, New York City, where New York's bravest are battling a three-alarm blaze on Briggs Avenue. The blaze rages in an apartment block, when suddenly, the roof begins to collapse, and two fire fighters fall down through the roof and into the burning building. 'We need a bucket at the window, now!' one of the fire fighters calls out. But, luckily for the fire fighters, the most technologically advanced machine on the planet has been deployed to safeguard New York. A large hand punches through the side of the apartment block and reaches out to rescue the fire fighters. 'What the hell is this?' one of the fire fighters asks. 'I dunno, but one thing's for sure... Iron Man's been seriously juicing!' the other fire fighter exclaims as they are pulled to safety. Other fire fighters look up at stare at the massive Iron Man armor that has rescued the fire fighters from the burning building.In fact, Iron Man has not been taking steroids, but it was technology from the patents of Tony Stark that have been assimilated into a powerful, new Sentinel, resembling Iron Man. Feilong of Orchis has succeeded in a hostile take over of Stark Unlimited, and Orchis has wasted no time in testing this new creation. The rebrand seems to have worked for most Americans, who view the machines favourably. This Stark Sentinel places the rescued fire fighters back on the ground. And, as with any new product, there are kinks to work out – as the Stark Sentinel suddenly detects one of the nearby fire fighters as a mutant. 'Aw, crud!' the fire fighter calls out, as the Stark Sentinel enables the hostile-mutant protocols, and unleashes a beam of energy from its chest, which slams into the fire fighter, knocking him over. 'Somebody help!' the fire fighter pleads, before the Stark Sentinel raises its foot over the fire fighter. 'Please, I don't want to die!' the fire fighter cries out, before mumbling a prayer to himself. He then hears a sound he had never heard in his life – almost like lightning.A beam of red energy slams into the back of the Stark Sentinel, who is knocked off balance, causing it to bring its foot down some inches away from the fire fighter, the impact of the massive foot striking the ground sends the fire fighter careening sideways. The X-Men are now here. 'Well, we got its attention. Now what?' Forge calls out as he hovers above a nearby rooftop thanks to a jetpack. 'It's Firestar's turn to quarterback. Call it' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops, wearing his classic 90s' costume responds, fists clenched. Angelica Jones a.k.a. Firestar acknowledges Cyclops' instruction, and turning to Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, she suggests they start with immobilization. 'Can do!' Bobby calls out as he ice-sleds towards the Stark Sentinel, where he starts to cover it in ice, but is surprised that he doesn't have much effect on it, he notes that most metal would be suffering under this much cold. 'Mutant detected!' the Stark Sentinel announces as  it attempts to grab Iceman, who darts about the Sentinel on his ice-sled. Iceman decides that this Sentinel doesn't mind the ice so much, when suddenly, the Stark Sentinel slams a fist straight through the ice-sled and through Iceman's a body itself, while announcing that it is under attack, and lethal protocols have been enabled.'Lemme take a swing' Forge calls out as he uses the jetpack to fly towards the Sentinel, while Firestar tells him she'll get the Sentinel looking at her. Forge flies behind the Stark Sentinel and fires some sort of ray gun at it, but the ray has no effect on the Stark Sentinel. 'We need to rethink this' Forge suggests, while Firestar flies up in front of the Sentinel and calls out to Iceman, telling him that he needs to put the burning building on ice. 'Let's attack one fire at a time' Firestar adds, while the Stark Sentinel looks down at her. 'That's right, look at me, you ugly heap' Firestar exclaims. Cyclops leaps off the rooftop and fires an optic blast at the Stark Sentinel's head, while communicating with the rest of the X-Men not currently on site, he informs them that he needs them at their location and fast, while suggesting to Synch that he be ready to use Polaris' power. 'We've got a really big can for you to crush' Cyclops jokes as he grabs a railing to prevent himself from falling to his death.Iceman has reformed his body and announces that he has knocked down the fire, before suggesting that they put this Sentinel on ice. The Sentinel turns to Iceman and noting that he is an omega-level mutant, the Sentinel places a request for backup, before blasting Iceman at close range, destroying his body once more. Forge flies up in front of the Sentinel and tells the others that they are in trouble, and that they are fighting this like it is a Sentinel, so they need to scale their attack. 'We're fighting a three-story Iron Man' he points out.  He adds 'As much as I loathe Tony Stark... the man's a genius'. Forge admits to the Sentinel, and gets its attention. 'Hey, ugly, take a look at this!' Forge exclaims as a strange green energy is emitted from a gauntlet on Forge's wrist. 'It's a powerful machine, but it's only as good as its code' Forge adds as the energy flitters in front of the Sentinel's head.The Stark Sentinel states that it is in peril, while Forge grins and tells everyone never to leave home without a powerful logic bomb on your wrist. The Stark Sentinel switches to its uncompromised node, and ejects a blast which knocks Forge to the ground. There is a loud KRAK noise, and a concerned Cyclops shouts' FORGE!' before the Sentinel identifies Cyclops as a Krakoan War Captain and states that he must be executed with extreme prejudice. The Sentinel fires a powerful blast which sends Cyclops diving for cover as the balcony he is standing on is blown apart. 'Well, this is horrible' Laura Kinney a.k.a. Talon remarks as she and the remaining members of the X-Men arrive on scene via one a stepping disk courtesy of Illyana Rasputin a.k.a. Magik. 'My god, look at that monstrosity' Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch exclaims. 'You gonna let it stomp Scott?' Magik asks Jean Grey, who replies 'No, that's still my job' as she throws a telekinetic force field around Cyclops, preventing the Stark Sentinel from stomping on him. This is the first contact Jean and Scott have had in some time. Even wrapped in Jean's telekinetic embrace, Scott has been knocked unconscious – but Jean has saved his life, the telekinetic bubble cushioning Scott's fall as the Sentinel forces him through the ground, where he lands in a subway tunnel, to the surprise of some nearby civilians.'All right, you piece of $#%&, Polaris might not be here, but her power is. Get crushed!' Synch calls out he begins to attack the Stark Sentinel – but a look of horror falls across Synch's face as he realizes that this Stark Sentinel has counter-measures to magnetic attacks, and the Sentinel smashes a fist down on Synch. When the dust clears, Synch's broken body is discovered by Talon, who screams out for him, and grabs his hand as he lay dying. Synch's power reaches out to his partner, and Talon's healing factor is passed to Synch, saving him. 'I'm here' Talon tells Synch. 'Don't try to talk. Our teammates are covering us. Just heal. Start with the bones. Breathe' she utters.Orchis would later say of this day that the Stark Sentinel saved the lives of several fire fighters and then was attacked by the X-Men. But the Sentinel had been secretly programmed by the enemies of mutandom to provoke this attack – they wanted to draw the X-Men into the brawl. Not just to test their machine and the X-Men's response – but to draw blood. And blood they draw, as Magik leaps towards the Sentinel, she slices her sword through a harpoon that the Sentinel fires at her, however part of the harpoon cuts her face. While Talon helps Synch to his feet, Jean instructs Magik to end this. Magik's first idea is to send the behemoth on a one-way trip to the sun, but she sees the phones recording the fight in her peripheral vision, and so sends a message to her enemies, as she opens a stepping disk beneath the Stark Sentinel and shouts' DIE!' She then snaps closed the stepping disk, and the metal that cannot bend or break is cleaved into pieces and scattered acorss the universe by a superior force. 'DIE! DIE! DIE!' Magik screams as she cleaves the Stark Sentinel over and over, until it is nearly all gone, and only the head remains.But the X-Men feel no joy from this victory – far from it. This single machine nearly succeeded in killing the entire team. 'I'll make sure Orchis doesn't retrieve anything from this' Jean tells the others, as all of the X-Men gather around the Sentinel head, which she begins to crush with her telekinetic force. 'How many of those things are there?' Cyclops asks, concerned. 'We're not going to like the answer' Forge tells him, before offering to talk to Stark, and suggesting that they start planning to counter all his patents. 'Our overconfidence was almost fatal' Forge adds.Orchis remains bust building Stark Sentinel factories, hidden across the world – but they also began constructing a a private prison on Randall's Island, just a fastball special away from the city's notorious prison Ryker's Island. At the facility, Dr. Stasis, Feilong and Nimrod are inspecting the prison, and Feilong tells the others that he hopes this facility will be ready for the night of the festivities. Feilong adds that he hopes Dr. Stasis did not waste one of his first Sentinels today. Dr. Stasis assures Feilong that this facility will be ready for their “guests” ahead of schedule, and tells him to fret not, as his billion-dollar behemoth did its job. 'I'm already receiving a signal...from the machines inside their teleporter' Dr. Stasis remarks as he looks at an image of Magik on a small screen. 'And what of the woman? Did we bag “Marvel Girl”?' Feilong asks, referring to Jean Grey. But Dr. Stasis confirms that Jean Grey has yet to feel his sting. 'That's okay... leave those pesky Omegas to Nimrod' Nimrod declares.Meanwhile, the sun sets over the mutant nation of Krakoa, where Emma Frost walks along the shore of the land with Wilson Fisk the Kingpin. She tells Fisk that he knows the laws of this land, and she has stated the norms. She assures him that his Krakoan citizenship by marriage will be defended in the human world should it be required, but that their protection will be rescinded should he slip back into any of his bad habits. Fisk tells Emma that he expects no special treatment, and that he will be a good citizen of Krakoa.'Hope I'm not interrupting' Cyclops calls out as he approaches Emma and Fisk, his shirt open revealing his muscular body. 'No...our business is concluded' Fisk responds as he turns and walks away, before smirking as he glances over his shoulder and tells them that he will see them both at the gala. 'Please tell me that was Mystique' Cyclops asks by projecting his thoughts to Emma. 'Would that it were' comes Emma's response.They continue to communicate via thought, as Scott tells Emma that he got her message, and that he supposes news travels fast. 'You heard Jean and I are taking some time?' Scott asks. Emma pauses, before responding 'No, I had not heard, you gorgeously concupiscent clod'. Emma then tells Scott that she is not in the mood, not does she have the time – although she does appreciate his provocative attire. 'Oh' Scott responds, before Emma explains that she has asked him here because a tragedy has occurred. 'Worse than the one I'm living right now?' Scott asks. Emma informs Scott that she summoned him because before Krakoa was established he was close to Ms. Marvel, and reveals that she has been killed in New York. 'No' Scott utters, dropping to his knees.Emma remarks that she assumes this changes Scott's calculus on their previous conversation. 'Yes, of course' Scott replies. 'Emma, she has a secret identity and a family who -' Scott begins, while Emma walks away and tells Scott not to worry, that it is nothing she can't solve as Krakoa's premiere janitor. She adds that she is sorry he and Jean are skidding. 'There is not enough love in this world'.

Once an X-Man...
(Now)The Rockies, where a teen version of Nathan Summers a.k.a. Cable arrives on the side of a snow-covered cliff, a strange facility protruding from the landscape. He instructs his A.I. companion called Belle to check the chronometers, and asks 'Did we make it back in time?' Cable declares that he doesn't have time for another mutant massacre, and asks Belle to give him the good news. 'Clocks are right – our jump was perfect' Belle confirms. She reports that the third Hellfire Gala of the Krakoan Age will occur in just over 24 hours, to which Cable, looking at a door into the facility exclaims 'Incorrect. The events of the third Hellire Gala will never happen...'cus I'm gonna put my foot up Orchis' ass tonight'. Kid Cable fires an optic blast into a control panel, which forces the door to rise up.Cable stands in the doorway, as Belle informs him that she is not reading any life signs, except that there should be insects and bacteria, which means she is being jammed. 'Ah. Very clever' Omega Sentinel remarks as she steps forward from behind a wall. 'Hiya, Boyo' Dr. Moira MacTaggert – or rather, Moira X – adds. Cable grins, and asks Moira if she honestly thinks she could take him out. 'Honestly, yes. But just to be safe. I invited Omega Sentinel' Moira reponds as she aims a weapon at Cable, who aims weapons at both Moira and Omega Sentinel in return. Cable tells Moira that he knows what she is planning, and that he won't let that happen. 'If you traveled back in time to prevent tomorrow, then it's proof we already won...right, Nimrod?' Omega Sentinel asks.Nimrod appears above Cable and suggests that they don't count their mutants before they hatch from their eggs. 'Oh, $#&%' Cable utters, before Nimrod grabs him by his head, and announces that he has been  studying great fighters, even human ones. 'Really inspired right now by “Float like a butterfly – sting like a bee”' Nimrod quotes as he tears Cable's cybernetic arm from its socket, causing Cable to scream. 'All right, the kid's on ice... though I want it on record that we should just kill this little $#&%' Dr. Stasis declares as he steps forward and fires a weapon at Kid Cable, that encases him in ice. But Moira tells Stasis that killing a Cable will just bring more of them from elsewhen. 'Now I've delivered on my targets. You have not' Moira points out. 'I took out the Rasputin girl's power – who cares about Manifold?' Stasis smirks. 'I do. Deeply. He's a problem. Humanity loses if Manifold lives' Moira snaps, grabbing Stasis by his neck.At that same moment, in the X-Men's Treehouse HQ in New York City, New York, where the precognitive mutant Irene Adler a.k.a. Destiny is meeting with her daughter, Rogue. 'Trust me, Rogue. Mutantdom dies with Manifold' Destiny utters. She adds that Rogue's story and Manifold's have bisected perfectly, that they always have and always will. 'Then we must tell the X-Men' Rogue responds as she stares out a window. 'Will they understand what must be done for the greater good?' Destiny asks, putting a hand on Rogue's shoulder. 'Ah'm not even sure Ah do, Irene' Rogue answers, before turning to Destiny and adding 'You're the fortune teller, so just tell it – what happens if Ah insist we take this to team?''We dare not. There is a turncoat on the X-Men. A great betrayal that will turn the tide. It must happen so that we may make this weakness a strength. The X-Men will buckle under the weight of the war to comer' Destiny declares. Rogue, wearing her classic '90s costume, asks Destiny if she knows what she is asking – to keep quiet and risk everything? 'Speak plainly to me. What do you really see?' Rogue exclaims. 'I see kings clashing in white, black after the death of the Red Queen. I see a Jovian bolt from the heavens. I see the stars ripped in half. I hear the poisoning lies of the false captain, his rank earned. The fool who speaks the truth will pay the price' Destiny reveals. '... Ma. I don't know what any of that means' Rogue responds, looking at Destiny. 'It is enough that it is true' Destiny utters.Meanwhile, on Gameworld, a spacefaring megacity dedicated to thje whims of the richest and most depraved aliens in the galaxy. When the wealthiest aliens come to your door to gamble the fortunes of entire planets...you can also attract the attention of some undesirables like the bizarre creature called Pogg Ur-Pogg, who upends several tables, scattering cards and money while shouting 'Pogg Ur-Pogg be I, and you'll drop your purses if you wish not to die!' Several aliens try to hide, and protect their riches – and at that moment, after Gameworld sent out a distress call, the X-Men, who were already headed this way for some rest and relaxation, answer, as six members of the heroic mutant team arrive on Gameworld through a Krakoan portal. 'Who's the pre-luggage?' Laura Kinney a.k.a. Talon asks, referring to Pogg Ur-Pogg's crocodilian appearance. Illyana Rasputin a.k.a. Magik goes wide-eyed and asks 'Oh man, Pogg – what're you doing, you weird elf?''Well, that's the sickest elf I've ever seen' Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch remarks as he syncs to another's power and his form becomes steel, before asking Talon if she is ready. 'Why don't you introduce me?' Talon asks. 'Happy landings!' Synch responds as he hurls Talon towards Pogg Ur-Pogg. At that moment, Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops, wearing his classic '90s costume, appears in the Krakoan gateway alongside Jean Grey. 'Looks like our business will have to wait' Jean telepathically remarks. 'Does it? I feel like the team can handle this -' Scott begins, before Pogg Ur-Pogg swats Talon aside with ease. 'Or maybe not' Scott realizes. Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman slides towards Pogg Ur-Pogg on an ice-sled and, calling him “Godzilla” tells him to calm down. Bobby begins encasing Pogg's sword in solid ice, suggesting he hold the sword before Pogg makes this situation any worse. 'My sword you'll give me, or your gourd I'll split thee!' Pogg responds.Suddenly: 'Pogglets?' Magik asks, confused, as three smaller begins resembling Pogg Ur-Pogg rush forward, carrying sacks loaded with jewels and other stolen goods. 'We got the loot!' one of them calls out. 'Now we scoot!' another exclaims. 'Bozhe moi!' Magik gasps. Angelica Jones a.k.a. Firestar flies up above Magik while Forge goes over to the nearby bar and asks the alien bartender 'What have you got that's high-voltage?' The bat tender begins to shake a cocktail mixer and asks Forge if he wouldn't be helping. 'I'm easing into it' Forge responds, before he sniffs the drink the bartender offers him. 'Nice' Forge remarks, before commenting that when one can do the kinds of things he can do, sometimes the worst mistakes you can make is to leap right in. He explains to the bar tender that he makes things, and that he was recently humbled by a machine, thought because machines always bend to his will that they always would – but that normalcy bias nearly cost him his life. 'And honestly, it's really stuck with me. It's got me rethinking some things, but maybe that's to be expected?' Forge adds. 'Uh, okay. Look, uh, maybe you could make a little machine to stop that monster, and then we could talk?' the bar tender asks.'To me, you three. Proud Pogg is of his progeny!' Pogg calls out to his children, while struggling to break free from the ice he is trapped. 'Listen, you little – whatever you are' Magik begins as she leaps towards Pogg, her sword at the ready, she tells Pogg that she doesn't think his kids need the memory of their dad getting his ass beat in a casino seared into their brains. 'Little mutant, leave us to our raid – or find yourself under Pogg's blade' Pogg responds. 'I'll kick you in the gizzard, lizard!' Magik jokes as her sword clangs against Pogg's. 'Since we last met I killed a cannibal wizard, and -' Magik begins, to which Pogg tells her that her rhymes are crimes, before he notices a smell and suggests that it is almost as though it were a spell. Firestar admits that she doesn't get it, and asks what is little about this guy. 'Are we low-blowing innuendos now?' she enquires, while Synch grabs one of Pogg's arms. 'Touch my arm and I have the right to harm!' Pogg snarls as he hurls Synch upwards and through the glass dome above them – right out into space. 'Ah! $#&%!' Synch calls out.As he floats out into space, Synch's thoughts are projected to his teammates as he assures them that he is okay, and that he is still in Colossus' armored form, but that he could use a lift back in. Jean plugs up the hull breach with telekinesis, and reports that she can't get into Pogg's brain, so that they are going to have to do this the old fashioned way. 'And can we please get a rush on it? Pogg's Jurassic Park exterior hides a little garden-gnome guy' Jean adds. 'Well, that's not at all how I expected this was gonna go' Talon remarks, before she announces that it is time to do some gnomectomy as she shoves her claws into Pogg Ur-Pogg's armor, causing him to shout 'YEAAOW!' Pogg then opens his mouth wide and warns Talon that he isn't even famished, but that he will make her head vanish. 'Now with your jaw wired shut' Talon snarls as she shoves her claws up through the underside of Pogg's crocodile mouth.Firestar opens fire at Pogg, and Magik instructs her to focs on Pogg's tummy. Magik then looks into Pogg's mouth, pinned open thanks to Talon's claws, blood seeping through the crocodile mouth, Magik calls out 'Listen, you little $#&% - climb outta there, or I'm making a new hole and climbing in!' Magik threatens Pogg. The true Pogg, a strange creature indeed, peers up through the crocodile armor and sniffs, before uttering 'Pogg adores sparkly precious metals! Your chain is more radiant than flower petals!' Poggs true head emergers even further, 'The metal! I must acquire – it's my heart's desire!' Pogg utters. 'Oh, this little thing? It's a very rare and powerful mutant metal called mysterium. It was a gift from Forge' Magik smiles, holding up a cross which hangs around her neck.Forge steps forward and jokes that he is a jeweler now, before suggesting to Pogg that he can arrange a small gift if he agrees to drop everything he just stole, and never fight the X-Men again. 'AYE!' Pogg agrees quickly. 'And lastly...someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me' Forge adds. 'AYE!' Pogg smiles, agreeing that this is a priceless gift to heal their rift. 'It's agreed, and now tyoday, none of you will bleed!' he smiles. The X-Men begin to regroup as Jean brings Synch in from the cold of space. 'Thanks for reeling me back in' Synch calls out, while Iceman looks on and tells Cyclops that he is so confused: 'We're stopping a robbery by agreeing to be robbed ourselves, and – you know what? Never mind. I came here to blow off steam, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do' Iceman decides, before anouncing that he is going to the club.'Now to keep safe the keepsake, and our leave I will take!' Pogg Ur-Pogg calls out as he swallows the mysterium cross. The Pogglets leap onto Pogg and Magik informs Forge that she is going to get Count Chonkula here his bag of mysterium and get him back to his cave. Forge asks Magik to give Sunfire his regards. 'I almost forgot' Magik responds. Synch announces that he, Talon and Firestar have had a change of plan and are not going to remain here. Jean tells Synch that she understands and that she and Cyclops will make their own way back later. The others disappear through the Krakoan gateway, while Cyclops looks at Jean and projects his thoughts to her, telling her that he was hoping they could ease into this. 'I think we have been' Jean responds. 'I know the Gala is coming, and the team is ready -' Cyclops begins. 'Stop' Jean interrupts him, announcing that she wants to ask him something, and while it might be petty, she needs to ask it.'But first, some real privacy' Jean adds as she touches Scott's mind, and they both enter the Astral Plane. 'Uh-oh. I'm in more trouble than I thought' Scott mutters. Jean notes that Scott is so proud of the Treehouse, that he helped Forge, Cypher and Krakoa make it, and that he should be proud. 'I am proud' Scott responds. 'You should be' Jean tells him, before reminding him that she helped to create and entire living planet – and yet Scott has never even stepped foot on her. Cyclops frowns and starts to tell Jean that he thinks he was there once, before admitting that no, he never went to Arakko. Jean turns away from Scott and pauses, before asking 'Why?' Cyclops looks at Jean and tells her that if they give humans a reason to think mutants don't belong on Earth then they will take it. 'Its creation was well-intended and solved some short-term problems integrating the Arakkii, but I worry it's an invitation to exile' Scott explains, folding his arms.'Scott. That is so cynical' Jean snaps. 'Have you met any humans recently?' Scott retorts, asking Jean if she really doesn't feel it – because they are already at war. 'Just one of those new Sentinels mopped the floor with us. Orchis' propaganda and disinformation fills the air. The stress of it...I feel like there's a noose around my neck' Scott declares. Scott continues, suggesting to Jean that she look at how humans treat their own kind – the ones who don't fit in. The ones who wear the “wrong” clothes or love the “wrong” mate. 'Those people's only crime is that they make their oppressors uncomfortable' Cyclops exclaims, adding that he wants to be there – for all of them – for mutants and for all mankind.'I do too. But love is enough to win those hearts. Love is enough!' Jean responds, adding that they can't just pretend they are the same as humans – it has gotten them nowhere their entire lives. 'You are a great captain of Krakoa. It suits you. You're good at it, because you think like them' Jean tells Scott, who thanks her – but Jean tells him it was not a compliment. Jean kisses Scott on his lips, before she flies away, informing him that she has to see about their wounded friend, but that he should know she is sticking to her guns about leaving the X-Men. 'If you're not on the team after the Gala, and you want to, then...come find me' Jean suggests.Back at the X-Men's Treehouse in Manhattan. Jean enters a room and finds Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris lying on a bed. She telepathically greets her longtime friend and informs her that Emma sent Jumbo over with a dress for her if she changes her mind about the Gala. 'I'm sorry I'm having a tough time' Lorna replies, but Jean tells her not to be sorry, noting that she is going through a lot. 'I'm sorry I'm like this' Lorna adds. Jean uses her telepathy to help ease Lorna's mind and tells her to stop apologizing, and points out that she is carrying so much grief, and now Magneto is unable to be resurrected. 'I lost my birth family, and I was in bed for a while too' Jean remarks. Polaris' frown turns to a smile, as she reveals that that she loves the Treehouse, and while she knows she's not really supposed to be here, as she is not serving on the team. 'Put that thought from your mind. Once you're an X-Man... you're always an X-Man' Jean declares.Elsewhere, on Arakko, where Shiro Yoshida a.k.a. Sunfire had been tasked by Arakko to help find its voice, Redroot of the Forest. The member of the great ring has been trapped in Otherworld since Krakoa won the tournament that led to the terraforming of Mars. Mad Jim Jaspers knew what he had in the Arakkii mutant – the only question is what price would be paid for their return. 'Ready?' Magik asks as she drops down onto Otherworld through a stepping disk. 'I'm already late' Sunfire remarks, carrying a duffel bag as he stands next to Redroot of the Forest. 'Well, don't let me slow you down. Next stop, Otherworld!' Magik remarks as she opens another stepping disk and steps through with Sunfire – but they both fall into darkness, and Magik screams. 'What the hell?' she asks, before she and Sunfire land in Otherworld.Sunfire asks Magik if she is okay. 'What just happened?' he enquires. Magik apologizes and explains that her stepping disk must have encountered some turbulence caused by Otherworld's magic. Sunfire tells Magik that he will watch her leave safely, and that if he has not found his own way back in a week, then asks her to meet him back here. 'I am sure I will have freed Redroot by then' Sunfire declares. 'You got it. See you in a week' Magik smiles, opening another stepping disk, she tells Sunfire not to worry about her, as her power is fine, but she warns Shiro to be careful, as Otherworld wasn't fun, and that this place was hell during their tournament. She adds that time works differently here, sometimes. Magik admits that she doesn't know all the rules, maybe nobody does, which is why this place is so dangerous. As Magik disappears, Sunfire thanks her, and assures her that he has been preparing for this for a long time. 'I should be in and out' he adds.(X months later)There is darkness all around, save for a small glow emitted by Sunfire as he trudges though the darkness, what appears to be snow falling around him. With one hand raised above his head emitting a small glow, he holds the tiny Redroot close to his chest with his other hand. Sunfire coughs and apologizes to Redroot. 'How pathetic that a mutant named Sunfire be reduced to little more than a spark in a void' Sunfire comments to himself. He looks down at Redroot, 'I've failed you' he utters, adding that he does not know how much longer he can march in this darkness. 'Soon I will fall, and when my heart beats its last... my failure will be complete.'

From the Shadows
(Then)Central Park, where Kate Pryde sits on a park bench next to an older woman and exclaims “Life is complicated”? That's all my rabbi has to say?' Kate points out that mutants can walk to other worlds through Krakoa's gates, except for her. Kate motions to a nearby Krakoan gateway and tells her rabbi she actually bounced her head off the door and busted her nose. 'I can walk through anything -' Kate begins, to which the older woman remarks 'Except that door, darling'. Kate declares that her friends and family have a home, but it isn't for her. The older woman chucks some bird seed on the ground and pigeons flock around her as she calls Kate “Kitty” and tells her that she reads the news: 'Krakatoa sounds wonderful and, of course. I heard your teacher's voice in my head.' She adds that so did everyone else on Earth, and she can't say she cared for it, but if the mutants of the world wish to come together and form a state, then it would be hypocritical to stand in the way of that.'But what if I'm not a mutant!' Kate exclaims. 'What if you're not? Would that be so bad?' the older woman asks. 'Yes! I am a mutant' Kate declares, too which her rabbi tells her that she is glad that is settled. Kate scowls and turns away from her rabbi, deciding that it isn't fair of her to think that the older woman would understand. The rabbi pauses, before telling Kitty that she knows she has seen a lot of weird stuff up close, before asking her to be honest: 'Do you still believe in God?' the rabbi smiles. Kate goes wide-eyed as she turns to the older woman: 'Of course, Susan!' she exclaims. The older woman drops the rest of the bird seed on the ground and tells Kitty that was a relief, otherwise this was going to be a longer and more difficult conversation. 'You X-folks have really stirred the pot this week, and I have a few more park benches to warm. But God believes in you... we have to give in to her ride' Susan announces. As she stands up, she tells Kitty that there is a plan, for all of them, regardless of who or what she is deep down in those fancy genes of hers. 'And look at it this way... if all of your super-friends can do the same thing... but you can't... well, I think that makes you even more special'.(X weeks ago)Kate passes through a Krakoan portal to the remains of the Xavier School for the Gifted, in Westchester, New York. She phases through the building, which has been damaged and desecrated with graffiti. While the world slept, Orchis changed the world. Launching a flag attack against humanity and laying the blame at the foot of the mutant nation-state of Krakoa. The Hellfire Gala served as an important function of the state. Those nights were celebrations of mutant culture and the special friendship the X-Men always tried to foster with humanity. An arrest warrant has been issued for Kate Pryde. As a member of Krakoa's ruling council, she was designated as a high-value mutant terrorist – an excellent frame job.Kate arrives in a particular room, and phases her hands through some floorboards to retrieve something. She has gone through many names over the years. Ariel. Sprite. Captain Kate Pryde. The Red Queen. She could not use those names again. Kate retrieves two swords and a note. She opens the note and reads it. The note is from Ogun and says “You will forever be the weapon that made you, Shadowkat.”Meanwhile, 'It's been weeks since this headline' Dr. Stasis remarks as he looks at a copy of the Daily Bugle which the headline “Mutant Massacre – Hellfire Gala turns deadly – Krakoa blamed.” Dr. Stasis announces that unfortunately Orchis arrived at Mykines too late to help any of the humans, and when the bloodthirsty mutants were confronted with Orchis' superior force, they fled. He introduces himself and states that he wants to remind humanity that Orchis is continuing to roll out untainted alternatives to the laced Krakoan medicines. Dr. Stasis stands in front of a Krakoan portal, with Angelica Jones a.k.a. Firestar at his side, and a large amount of reporters and camera operators gathered, listening and watching.Dr. Stasis boasts that Orchis stands ready to bring their righteous anger down upon the mutants should they attack again. 'Some mutants didn't believe in Xavier's cult – like Firestar standing beside me' Dr. Stasis adds, explaining that Firestar was an invaluable part of their intelligence operation and a valuable spy against mutants who deemed themselves to be gods. Dr. Stasis asks Firestar to demonstrate the gateway. 'Of course' Firestar replies calmly, and steps towards the gate, which does not open for her. Dr. Stasis claims that the hardworking men and women of Orchis have slammed these Krakoan gates closed forever, and shall leave them up as a reminder of what they escaped and the doom that could have been. Several Stark Sentinels fly above the crowd, and Ben Urich can be seen taking notes as Dr. Stasis reports that in the vacuum left behind by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fall, Orchis has risen to the challenge of defending mankind. 'We want everyone to know that despite their heinous crimes, we in Orchis are treating the citizens of Krakoa...with respect and dignity. Those who wish to relocate to Mars are being given free rides'.Elsewhere, an Orchis vessel hovers near where the mutant called Woofer is located. 'Good luck, “Woofer.” Careful. I hear there's a war on your new home planet' an Orchis soldier standing nearby jokes. 'What the $%#&? I'm from Chicago – I don't even have a passport!' Woofer calls out as he begins to run from the Orchis vessel.Elsewhere still, a mutant is dragged towards an Orchis tent, while Dr. Stasis tells the crowd that Orchis are using their gene therapies to help mutants back into the fold of mankind. Dr. Stasis tells the reporters that unlike those who attacked Orchis, they will not lie. They are brave enough to give the bad news. He states that their secure situation is tenuous at best – and that until Captain Krakoa and his Brotherhood are brought to justice for the outrageous murders of politicians in Washington, they are all in danger. Dr. Stasis assures everyone that, in the meantime, Orchis will be vigilant, and will not fail the world of man. As an Orchis operative places a CLOSED sign over the entrance of a Krakoan gate, Dr. Stasis declares that they have a planet to protect, and need humanity's help to do so. 'If you see a mutant – say something!'Meanwhile, at the White House, which is currently under the watch of two large Stark Sentinels. Feilong of Orchis is meeting with the President, who tells him that he understands the difficult position he finds himself in. 'I'm technically a Chinese national... and yet here I sit, invited as a private citizen to sit in the office of the most powerful man in the world' Feilong remarks. He tells the President that he is grateful for his leadership, and that by accepting Orchis' help, he sends a message to the rest of the world that Orchis is to be trusted. 'And yet, Mr. Feilong, you made certain promises that have not been kept. Captain Krakoa attacked this nation, and he's still on the run. You and Orchis promised results' the President remarks. Feilong frowns and assures the President that they are getting them, noting that most of the mutants have left Earth, although it is true that they still have a few of the worst apples to deal with. 'That's why I stationed those Stark Sentinels on your front lawn' Feilong adds, before reporting that Orchis is also building a robust defense system on the moon to protect when Mars attacks.Feilong continues, and informs the President that he is also deploying their War Machines to Phobos above the red planet to they can be sure they have total information awareness on any potential battlefield. 'I know you're concerned about the lack of oversight...but let me promise you, mutants are being treated with dignity they do not afford us. The Henry Gyrich Center for Behavioral Studies on Randall's island in New York is hardly a 'gulag''. Feilong points out. He tells the President that it makers Norway's prisons look like Abu Ghraib, and that, frankly, the mutants are safer in custody than they are on the streets. 'Their brazen attack and poisoning of their medicinal gifts have stirred up violent passions. The mutants are lucky that we are compassionate to those who would seek to harm us. I promise you. There will be fair trials... and convictions'.At said facility on Randall's Island, several mutants are being processed by Orchis operatives, when suddenly, Dr. Stasis arrives. 'Ooh. You lads look sharp. I like the new shock uniforms' Dr. Stasis remarks as he walks past two armed operatives. 'Thanks, Doctor -' one of them begins, to which Dr. Stasis snaps 'I didn't say you could speak to me -' Dr. Stasis begins, before he approaches a nervous man whom he addresses as Dr. Kemble. 'I understand Prisoner Ten is awake?' Dr. Stasis asks. Dr. Kemble confirms that Prisoner Ten is awake, but that he isn't very happy  with the medical procedure and is not amenable to chatting. 'Yes, but he hasn't been asked tob chat with me' Dr. Stasis smirks.Dr. Stasis enters the padded cell where Prisoner Ten is being held. 'I know you're awake. I was starting to worry you might have tumbled out of your Treehouse harder than we thought' Dr. Stasis remarks. He tells the prisoner that he can see by his expression that he is pained to find himself in this position, even though he can promise him that they are going to great lengths to prevent him from feeling any pain. 'Of course, heh, your broken back is pitching in on that front, too'. Dr. Stasis smirks. 'The good news is, I'd be wheelie surprised if Xavier hadn't left you any number of chairs in storage that we can fetch for you' Dr. Stasis adds. He pauses, before looking down at the prisoner and assuring him that he really wants to help him, and that they can help each other. 'Mutants took a planet – lord knows we weren't doing anything with it. Go live on it – or keep going!' Dr. Stasis leans in towards the prisoner and tells him to leave humanity in peace on Earth, as humanity only has one precious planet. 'If you will come around and endorse the official story of the Mutant Massacre, there will be trials and convictions, but then I get you and all your people off Earth. A little compliance will save lives' Dr. Stasis tells the prisoner, before asking him what he says.'I say... GO #%&% YOURSELF!' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops a.k.a. Prisoner Ten shouts as he lay on an angle, strapped to a large X, his ankles and wrists restrained, stitches have shut his eyelids together. This angers Dr. Stasis, who scowls and calls Cyclops a “Pigheaded ignoramus” and tells him that it's over, humans won. 'Accept my mercy!' he exclaims. Dr. Stasis then tells Cyclops that his eyesight is not what it once was, and so he wants to be blunt with him. 'You're in an adamantium neck brace, connected to an adamantium filament – and any time we want – you can be yanked at great speed into a hole the size of a baseball. So I'd start thinking about some cooperation' Dr. Stasis remarks. 'I'll never cooperate with you murdering bigots! The X-Men will -' Cyclops begins, to which Dr. Stasis pretends to look concerned: “Oh no – not the X-Men!” he mocks, before calling Cyclops an idiot and informing him that there are no more X-Men. 'Krakoa is empty. Your transit system shuttered. Your Treehouse burned. Your medicines laced with a “kill switch”. Humans are calling for your deaths! It's Orchis who's urging restraint. “Not all mutants,” we say. But... it's only a matter of time before all the remaining muties are pulled kicking and screaming... from whatever hole they're hiding in'.At that moment, in the former Morlock Tunnels beneath New York City, a group of mutants gathered from the survivors of the Mutant Massacre are discussing their plans. Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch reports that they have been able to upgrade their safe house in the Morlock tunnels thanks to the kindness of their friends. He turns to Rasputin IV and Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms. Marvel and informs them that he and Talon would like them to surveil Orchis' gulag. 'The stepped up their defenses, so it's likely they're guarding some high-value targets' Synch announces. 'Understood' the chimera called Rasputin responds. Suddenly, 'Speak of the devil and she appears. Hello, Kate' Synch remarks as Kate Pryde phases into the tunnel. Kate reports that she has here to rest up for a few, and then head back out. Laura Kinney a.k.a. Talon offers to take over, and suggests to Rasputin and Ms. Marvel that they go over the patrol assignments.Shadowkat walks past the others, but Synch follows her, and tells her that they need to talk. 'I'm busy' Kate responds as she phases through a tunnel wall. Synch sighs and copies Kate's power, enabling him to phase through the tunnel also, into Kate's makeshift quarters. Kate sits on her bed and looks at the wound on her arm, blood trickling down from it. 'I never knew how annoying I was to everyone around me until you started doing my bit' Kate remarks. Synch ignores that comment and tells Kate that he thought he smelled blood, before asking her if he can be of service. '... Yeah, thanks' Kate replies as she hands Synch a small needle. Synch tells Kate that none of them are whole these days. He creates a small flame and sterilizes the needle as he informs Kate that Ms. Marvel is a little afraid of her. 'Good. She's not cut out for the X-Men. She should walk away' Kate responds.As Synch begins sewing up the wound, he tells Kate that he disagrees, before asking her if she knows Rasputin IV thinks that she hates her. Kate pauses, before telling Synch that Rasputin being here is a reminder of their – of her -failures. 'On Krakoa and beyond' Kate adds, before telling Synch that she did Rasputin's thing once – go back and fix the failings of the previous generation. 'Now I am the future' Kate laments. With the wound sewn up, Kate moves away from Synch and pulls her cowl over her head. Synch tells Kate that he doesn't blame anyone but Orchis, and neither should she, before warning her that she is going to have a scar. 'If you were at the top of your game, nobody would even be able to touch you' Synch adds. 'I don't even know where Lockheed is' Kate responds. Synch tells her that she is fighting sloppy, and if they lose her, they lose not just another mutant, but their best asset and secret weapon.Synch continues, informing Kate that he can't use the Krakoan gates when he syncs with her, and he doesn't know why Rasputin IV can't, either. 'Maybe she has a plan' Kate mutters. 'Who? Rasputin?' Synch asks. Kate turns and walks towards another wall which she begins to phase through, and Synch tells her that if she gets herself killed or captured, they will suffer a terrible loss. 'I survived living with a Wolverine longer than anyone, and I know you need your space... but I need you on this team. I need that census of mutants, and I need that scout of Orchis strongholds' Synch declares. 'And you'll have them' Kate replies as she casually turns to Synch, adding that she will be careful, and might even make their rendezvous later.The most accurate information the resistance had on the strengths, weaknesses and positioning of the enemy was from Shadowkat sneaking through the Krakoan transit system. She was not able to use the gates before Orchis hacked and closed them. But now, she is a ghost in the machine. Moving about unseen in the remnants of a mutant empire. There were gates across this solar system and beyond. Humans barely understand their own politics, so one must forgive them if the finer points of mutant diplomacy are also beyond their grasp. Suffice to say, the colonized world of Mars was not a “mutant safe haven” for anyone born on Earth. Civil war rages on Arakko. And at least one side did not see the majority of their cousins from Earth as anything other than weak.As several mutants take shelter, other mutants rage war nearby. Forced deportations are a staple of most genocides, and the mutants stranded on Arakko found no comfort. No helping hands from a tribe of mutants who had fought demons for millennia and were now at war again. The mutants deposited on the planet mostly congregate in its lone spaceport on the Promethean plane in the northern hemisphere. 'Holy $#%&!' a mutant with green skin gasps as he glances down a corridor and sees Shadowkat emerge through the Krakoan portal. The mutant runs away from the others he is seeking refuge with and calls out to Shadowkat, telling her that he saw her come through the gate, and asking her if she is here to save them 'Shh. I don't know what you think you saw, but you're mistaken' Shadowkat responds. 'You're from Earth, right? Didn't you testify before congress?' the mutant remarks. 'Kid, you're confused' Shadowkat tells him. 'No – I saw you!' the mutant exclaims as he grabs Shadowkat by her wrist.This annoys Shadowkat, who pushes the mutant up against a wall and grabs her sword, phasing the blade into him. 'Saw another word before I ask you to speak and it'll be your last' Shadowkat snarls. She tells the mutant to compose himself and answer all her questions, and this sword she ghosted into his chest will come out just as easy – otherwise, things may get messy. Glancing around Shadowkat tells the mutant that she didn't expect to get noticed, and claims that she is just taking a stroll, taking a census, looking for others who survived the attack. She then asks the mutant who is and where he is from. The green-skinned mutant introduces himself as woofer and reveals that he is from Chicago. He reveals that the X-Men saved him, but after whatever happened at the Hellfire Gala, Orchis came back and dumped him here. 'They said we have a family here, but that's not true' Woofer exclaims.Shadowkat tells Woofer that she knows, and that they got done dirty. 'I won't lie. Things are going to stay rough for a while' Shadowkat reveals, before explaining that she can't phase anyone through the gates. 'There's no help coming...for a while. But I can help you help everyone here' Kate remarks, announcing that every mutant still standing is an X-Man. 'Understand?' she asks. 'It's up to us now. I was hoping to find some of my friends – Sunfire, Polaris and Forge. We need our big guns' Kate announces, before reminding Woofer that he said the X-Mern saved him, and tells that it is now time to pay that forward and be a leader, keep everyone here safe. She adds that help will arrive, but she isn't sure when. Kate hands Woofer a book and instructs him to take a census of everyone here – names and powers – and she will return to collect it. 'Now cause a distraction... I want eyes on you not me when I hit that gate' Kate declares as she slips away from Woofer.Clutching the book, Woofer replies 'Uh...wow. I'm an X-Man? Okay'. Suddenly, a large mutant appears behind Woofer, who turns around and slaps his hand against the other mutant's chest. 'Don't you try and steal from me!' Woofer shouts. Woofer glances at the portal, and can see Kate step through it. 'I've taken nothing from you, puny Krakoan... but if I did take something, it would be mine by law!' the Arakkii mutant snarls. 'Do you wish to pursue this claim and die as so many on Amenth did, or -?' the Arakkii mutant begins, to which Woofer apologizes to the other mtuant, telling him that he is sorry, and that he thought he was somebody else. 'By the way, have you seen somebody named Polaris... or Forge?' Woofer asks.Forge is... somewhere else. Weeks ago, he was having a drink and getting ready to unveil versions of the X-Men's Treehouses as gifts to humanity to end homelessness. The next moment, he was coerced through a Krakoan gateway and ended up on a distant world, with no way home. He wondered if someone spiked his drink, but when he discovered that the gates are closed, he realized that Krakoa was incapacitated – and the Vault is now unsupervised.Deep within the jungle of Ecuador, where Forge had used Krakoan technology to seal off the murderous Children of the Vault, the X-Men's problems suddenly multiplied by the hour, as the pods keeping the Children of the Vault in stasis suddenly open, and Serafina, Fuego and Perro emerge. 'The X-Men trapped us – we're gonna kill them all' Perro declares.(X Weeks ago)The fallout from the Mutant Massacre was just  the beginning for newly discovered mutant Kamala Khan. She was escorted home by the White Queen, who was hiding in plain sight as “Hazel Kendal,” the personal assistant to Tony Stark. Under the cover of night, “Hazel” and Kamala arrive at the Khan home. Stark Sentinels can be seen patrolling the area. “Hazel” tells Kamala that she is sorry she was trapped inside the tunnel all day, but that it is safer to move about at night, and she had to get Stark to the Hellfire Club. Kamala extends her legs to climb the front steps in one motion. 'We're all just doing our best. Thanks for everything, Emma – er, Hazel' she responds. Hazel tells Kamala that she knows she is afraid of walking through that door, but that her family is going to be overjoyed that their daughter is alive. 'Not everyone is so lucky' Hazel adds, hanging her head.Kamala explains that it isn't just that she was dead, or that she is a mutant, it's that she has been hiding so much for so long. 'Kamala Khan and Ms. Marvel both publicly died that day. My parents will have put it together. And when they ask how I'm back, I'll have to tell them I'm a mutant – oh, and we've all been framed for murder' Kamala points out. The door opens, and Kamala's mother, Muneeba Khan appears. 'In that case, darling, let your fairy godmother make your life a little easier' Muneeba remarks – although it's not her speaking. 'Emma? You're in my mom's head?' Kamala gasps. 'Remember. Hazel Kendal, if you would be so kind. Emma Frost is a wanted woman and not the kind that she enjoys' Emma – Hazel – declares. Kamala glances at Emma and asks her what she is doing. 'Your inhibitor ring -' Kamala begins, but Hazel tells her that it is off, and that they must be brief. 'In a moment, your family will wake up and believe you have been on a school trip to Washington DC. Emma confirms that all traumatic memories of Kamala's death have been erased, and that this afternoon, she visited the New York coroner's office – nobody has any recollection of Kamala dying, and there will be no death certificate.'That's amazing, but how can you be sure -?' Kamala gasps as she and Emma walk into the living room, where Kamala's mother is now sitting on the sofa between her husband Yusif, and brother, Aamir. Emma declares that she is good at what she does. 'And if I makes you feel any better, I used to do this all the time professionally or the Kingpin' Emma adds, boasting that if she wants to change a man's mind...it is changed. Adjusting the ring on her finger, Emma tells Kamala that, unfortunately, her parents won't know how complicated, brave and wonderful their daughter is – they won't know that she is an Inhuman, a mutant, or that she is secretly Ms. Marvel. 'I don't know how to thank you' Kamala utters. 'I do. Forget that you're a mutant and stay away from the X-Men' Emma declares as she turns and starts to walk away.Bright lights courtesy of the Stark Sentinel shine down on the Khan household. 'Doesn't take them long, does it?' To catch our scent. My ring is back on. I'm hidden again. Now, about hiding. At the Gala, I wanted you to come out asa a mutant – be proud of who you are – but then the world changed. You hid your powers from your family. You wear a mask. Keep hiding. There's nothing to be gained by having your family terrified that Orchis is going to storm into their home' Emma announces, before telling Kamala that her family is set to wake. 'I'm glad at least one of us can go home' she adds. Emma glances back to Kamala and tells her that there is no more safety net, and while the Five snatched her from death, they are now gone – forever. Emma leaves the Khan home, closing the door behind her.'Kamala? I didn't hear you come in' Muneeba calls out. Kamala embraces her mother, who tells her that it is good to see her. 'How was Washington?' Muneeba asks. 'I missed you!' Kamala exclaims. 'Oh. Well, we missed you too' Muneeba responds.(Now)In the Morlock tunnels, Shadowkat, Synch, Rasputin IV, Talon and Ms. Marvel meet with Emma, still disguised as Hazel Kendal, who turns to Kamala and tells her that she broke her promise. 'Perhaps I should have made you forget some things' she adds. Kamala apologizes, and tells Emma that she appreciates the burden she took from her family, but that it is not right what is happening to the X-Men, to mutants. 'It's not right, and I'd be standing with you all even if I didn't have an X-Gene' Kamala announces. Hazel frowns and warns Kamala to be careful, and not to underestimate the ruthlessness of their enemies.But the mutants had fallen before, and perhaps, if they lived, they would fall again. But they were not alone this time. Steve Rogers has reformed the Unity Squad of the Avengers, with a roster skewed heavily with X-Men. Steve Rogers knows the value of symbolism and optics. While Deadpool waves at Rasputin, Captain America and Synch shake hands, and Cap asks Synch how the Avengers can help. Synch tells Cap that it is good to see him, and explains that they are making progress on the laced drugs, and they think they have a way to penetrate Orchis. Tony Stark can be seen during the gathering, as can Kwannon of the Unity Squad. 'Some of my best friends are from the future' Deadpool tells Rasputin, who announces that she has heard of him, and, calling him a clown, warns him to give her a wide berth.But the meetings never last long, and are always in different parts of subterranean Manhattan. The X-Men and Avengers routinely share strategy, compare notes and give each other hope. Even Tony Stark's mood is improved by the resistance meetings. His heart was turned to lead by watching helplessly as his Iron Man tech was assimilated into the mutant-hunting Sentinels. Tonight, it is the former queens of Hellfire who are despondent. When everyone else has left the tunnels, Emma looks at Katherine through “Hazel's” thick glasses and tells her that she would like a word. Katherine doesn't respond, so Emma asks her if she doesn't think it's time she told her what happened. “What happened”? Kate quotes. 'The world ended. And we helped give it a push' Kate declares, wide-eyed. Emma grabs Kate by her shoulders and tells her not to say that, as it isn't true. 'But it's exactly what your abusers would very much like you to believe' Emma remarks, before asking Kate what happened to her when she fell through the gates.(Flashback – following g the end of the Gala)The Krakoan Embassy, Jerusalem, where several Orchis operatives stand in front of a Krakoan gateway and supervise several mutants as they are marched through the gate. An Orchis agent who doesn't wear a helmet or mask contacts his superior and reports that, at Jerusalem Station, the last of the mutants have been exfiltrated through the gates. 'Copy that' someone responds over communicator, and states that the gates are now shut. 'Cool' the agent with no helmet responds, before reporting that it was weird, as the muties were zombie-like. 'Whatever. They're gone now. Let's have a beer and go home' he suggests – when, suddenly – 'Whoa! What's happening!?' Kate Pryde calls out as she falls backwards through the Krakoan portal, landing on the ground, wearing her Hellfire Gala outfit, she finds herself surrounded by the Orchis operatives.'What the hell is this?' the lead Orchis operative asks, as he and the others aim their guns at Kate. Kate looks up and sighs. 'You fellas aren't gonna behave, are you?' she asks. 'Jerusalem Station to Central Column. Confirm the mutie gates are closed' one of the Orchis agents asks, to which Kate tells everyone to chill out for a second. A response comes over the Orchis agent's communicator, confirming that the mutant transit is kaput. 'Even we can't use them anymore' the voice adds. 'Oh no' Kate gasps, wide-eyed. Kate springs into action, hitting the man without the helmet on, and phasing her through the other operative's communicator. 'Nobody move!' Kate shouts. As the Orchis operatives surround her, she tells them that she kiled the radio, but doesn't want to kill any of them. 'You started a war that you won't win. Surrender!' Kate declares. Kate tells the Orchis agents that she will make sure they are treated well – not like Orchis treated mutants tonight. 'This is your last chance. Surrender' she adds.An Orchis agent with gray hair and beard turns to the others and asks them what they think. 'Should we surrender?' he enquires. There is silence, before all of the Orchis operatives burst into laughter. 'I'll tell the Central Column that you resisted arrest' the first agent with no helmet, who has a strip of short red hair on his head remarks. He notes that Kate is a high-value target, that she was on the Quiet Council and trained by Xavier, and now she's going out begging. 'You're worried about the wrong teacher. When you  go to Hell. Tell Ogun I said hello' Kate responds, narrowing her eyes. 'She's really gonna make us do this. Okay...' the agent with the short hair begins, as he fires his weapon towards Kate, although the tranq dart phases through her. Kate then shoves her boot into his neck. He dies whistling, but that's only because he is trying to breathe through a shattered windpipe. 'Krakoa was a land of laws. The first was “murder no man” guess that one's coming off the books' Kate announces as she phases the agent's gun into his own head, and then lets it turn solid.The aggressor sets the tone in any conflict, and overnight, Orchis turned a cold war hot. Kate Pryde's training takes over as she knocks another agent to the ground. She is aware that her sudden ability to access the Krakoan transit system represents a huge tactical advantage – and it is a secret worth killing to protect. 'Nooo -' the agent who fell to the ground calls out before Kate begins to phase him into the floor. Kate would come to wonder what she would have done had the Orchis agents surrendered – where could she have taken them. She didn't know it at the time, but Krakoa was ringed by Sentinels. Her land has been stolen. Her people are once more pushed to the brink of extinction. One of the agents rushes towards her, so she grabs him and hurls him at another agent, phasing him in the process – until he solidifies as he connects with the other agent, their bodies now mangled in one grotesque form.The adrenaline surges, and Kate begins to remember that Jean and Bobby and so many others havve been killed. As another Orchis agent rushes towards her, she shoves her foot into his crotch.  She was trained by the ninja Ogun, but what she does here tonight in Jerusalem is made possible by learning from her friend, who happened to be the best at what he did – and what he did was not very nice. Kate grabs that Orchis agent and partially phases him into the ground. 'Oh God, stay calm. Stay back-to-back. She has to hold her breath. I think we can use that -' an Orchis agent remarks to another as they move back-to-back, when Kate emerges from the ground, '- to kill  me?' she asks. The two agents turn to her, as Kate asks them to look her in the eyes, and announces that they are never going to hurt anyone again.Kate can barely hear the gunfire over all the screaming. She walks forward towards the two remaining Orchis agents. Like Logan, Kate doesn't enjoy doing what needs to be done – she just wants this to be over. She reaches the agents, grabs grenades from their belts, flicks the switch on them and phases them into the agents' bodies – a moment later, blood and body parts splatter into the air. Three remaining agents look on, and one of them contacts the Central Column, advising them that they have a problem. The agent farthest from Kate remembers the only thing he has that could hurt Kate – his radio. So Kate knows that he needs to be the next to go. She isn't sure where the radio is in the suits, so she phases his Orchis suit into his neck and leaving it stuffed in his voice box. Kate glances at another one, who raises an arm in defense – but it's no use, as Kate leaps towards him and phases her fist into his chest, then out the other side, while holding the agent's heart.Kate turns to the last remaining agent, who calls out to her: 'Wait!' he exclaims, before informing Kate that the X-Men saved him when he was up on the Bloom, he was sucked out into space, and the X-Men saved him. Kate puts her hands on either side of the agent's face and tells him that that is what the X-Men do. They save everybody they can. Even their enemies. 'A shame – those X-Men are dead now' Kate utters as she breaks the agent's neck. Kate drops to her knees, the bodies of Orchis agents scattered around her. Come dawn in Jerusalem, the Red Queen is now dead.Kate weeps until she feels nothing, and in the light of the new day, she will hide the grisly evidence by phasing the ten corpses into the roof. Kate will then run back to the first home she truly felt safe in, the giant one that somehow still felt crowded on Graymalkin Lane. She would retrieve her swords, and Shadowkat would be reborn.(Now)'Nothing happened' Kate tells Emma. 'Katherine...' Emma begins, before Kate replaces her swords into her holster and tells Emma that if she has to call her “Hazel” then they should leave all the old names on the funeral pyre. 'Now, if we're done with the hand-holding, I have a war to go win' Kate declares. Emma begins to suggest that they coordinate their efforts with Synch and Talon. 'Where are you off to now -?' Emma asks as Kate steps down into a watery tunnel and boasts that she doesn't need any help – and that she is going to kill Firestar!

Whack-a-Mole
(Flashback – Hellfire Gala)Krakoa was for lovers. Wilson Fisk and Typhoid Mary stepped onto the living island and lived a long quiet life of bliss in paradise. The End.That is how their story could have concluded if it weren't for the intrusion of mankind – Orchis simply could not abide mutant success. The mutant nation was attacked during their annual Hellfire Gala, and during the assault, Professor Xavier was forced to order mutants through the Krakoan portals. Typhoid Mary was among a group of mutants who vanished through one such portal. Despite Wilson Fisk the Kingpin, a human, calling out to his wife, she was unable to answer him.'Back to your corner, human!' the Omega Sentinel snapped as she punched the Kingpin hard in his face. The Kingpin told another human at the Gala to be ready to act when he does, otherwise Orchis will kill them all. 'Don't be daft, man. I'm the ambassador to the United Nations from Ireland... I'm not worth anything dead' the man responded. Moments later, the ambassador and all the remaining humans were murdered by Orchis.Eventually, the Kingpin was able to escape with several mutants, including Emma Frost, the White Queen. In the safety of the old Morlock tunnels, Emma uttered that she wasn't able to sense her girls. 'Mary... my sweet Mary' the Kingpin lamented, before he informed Emma that if Orchis hadn't done it already, they would soon move to seize her considerable assets, which are resources needed for the mutants' war effort. 'Very well. Are you going to make me say it?' Emma responded. The Kingpin remained silent, Emma glanced sideways at him and asked him if he would help her. 'Yes, I will help you. Your enemies are my enemies' the Kingpin responded. He told Emma that they must act quickly. Emma suggested that they get to her lawyer's office. 'Together, we can -' she started to say, but the Kingpin turned and walked away from her: 'Not “together.” We may have common enemies, but make no mistake... you work for me again' he declared as he lumbered down the tunnel. Emma narrowed her eyes.(Now – X weeks later)The newly reconstituted Hellfire Club. A party is underway. Wilson Fisk is now the new White King. Nobody dares to utter his other name, especially in his presence. The previous white monarch is missing. Some say Emma Frost died the night of the mutant massacre, while others say she was captured by Orchis, while one tabloid assured readers that she had fled to Arakko and was being protected by her mutant cousins. Orchis has won the war against mutants, but the resistance was growing stronger every day. Some of the heroes hid in plain sight, like the club's new Black King, Tony Stark. He had been defeated by elements of Orchis, and his Iron Man technology had been inserted into the Sentinel Program. By day, Stark was playing possum, telling war stories and sipping on a glass of ginger ale. By night, he was designing his most dangerous armor yet, one he was content to die in if need be.Hellfire guards stand around the large ballroom, as guests go about their business, and Stark stands at a table where some gambling is underway. 'So I said to Obadiah Stane, “Well, you can't eject this”!' Stark laughs, as do others around him.The X-Men hide below the streets and strike in the dead of night. Orchis has eyes everywhere, including artificial intelligence scouring for any words of mutant support. The tiniest slipups could send someone to “educational camp.” These are the most dangerous days for mutants and their friends.Suddenly: 'Mr Stark, I require a moment of your time' Stark's assistant, the dowdy Hazel Kendal calls out as she grabs Stark by his arm and drags him away from the guests, despite Stark telling her that he is not done hanging out with his new friends. 'It's quite urgent' Hazel responds. 'Well, bye, friends!' Stark calls back to the guests as Hazel pulls him into an office. 'Thanks for the save, Emma' Stark remarks, addressing Hazel as her true self – Emma Frost. Emma scowls and tells Stark that she knows he has some “optics” into Orchis, and asks if it is Firestar. Stark folds his arms and pauses, before reminding Emma that they decided to decompartmentalize some of what they are each doing. 'If she's a mole, tell her she's been targeted by a... rogue mutant assassin who she has no hope of surviving' Emma declares. 'If she's not your mole, then I'll go fetch an urn from the basement' Emma adds. 'Oh. I better make a call' Tony responds, wide-eyed. 'See that you do – and keep your hands to yourself, Mr Stark!' Hazel snaps as she opens the office door, where several guests can be seen standing outside.Meanwhile, Kamala Khan is also leading a double life, balancing her identity as Ms. Marvel, the newest X-Man, and her cover as a high-school student as she infiltrates an Orchis-funded program at Empire State University. Orchis propaganda ensures that anti-mutant sentiment fills the airwaves – which translates to violence on the street. As Kamala walks down a series of stairs, with a large sign advertising an Orchis Science Center nearby, she suddenly comes across two hooded thugs who push someone with no hair and unique markings on their face over. 'Mutie scum!' one of the thugs shouts. 'Help!' the victim cries out. Although she instinctively increases the mass of her hand to create a large fist, Kamala does not want to embiggen her problems, and so discovers another way to deal with the attack: 'Stop! I'm recording everything!' Kamala calls out as she holds her phone up and records the thugs' attack. 'You'll get yours, mutie lover!' one of the thugs retorts as they rush away, keeping their hoods pulled over their faces.'Hi. I'll call the police' Kamala remarks as she goes over to the bullies' victim. 'No. Please don't the young woman utters. 'But you're hurt' Kamala points out, noticing the blood streaming down the young woman's face. The woman wipes her nose and Kamala sees that the woman is bald and has some pigmentation markings around her eyes and mouth. 'I'll live. I don't want any more trouble. I just want to go home' the woman tells Kamala, adding that it is funny, because she isn't even a mutant, she just looks different because she has alopecia. 'I hated feeling their eyes on me, but I'd rather go back to that than feel their fists' she supposes that nobody different is safe anymore.The Bloom is Orchis' space station, in orbit above the Earth. It receives regular shuttles. One arrives with a stowaway inside the hull, breathing comfortably with scuba technology. Once several Orchis agents leave the shuttle, Shadowkat a.k.a. Kate Pryde emerges. She knows she doesn't have long once breaching the station – but also knows she won't need much time to kill one mutant traitor. Ditching the scuba breathing equipment, Shadowkat races down a corridor, while a siren reports that a mutant has been detected. She has planned several means of escape. The Krakoan gates aboard the station would be her last resort, as her ability to transit is still a tactical advantage worth killing to protect.The alarm reaches Angelica Jones a.k.a. Firestar in her small quarters. Tony Stark's warning had not come soon enough for her to leave the station. 'Oh God' Angelica utters as she holds a gun.'You there! Stop!' one of the Orchis agents shouts at Shadowkat as she turns a corner. 'We will shoot!' another warns her. A moment later, both agents open fire, the blasts merely pass through Shadowkat who has phased herself. She then shoves her fist against the neck of one of the agents, breaking it, before she grabs the other by his ankle and phases his torso through the glass floor of the Bloom, right out into open space, leaving his lower limbs in a pool of blood on the floor. Shadowkat walks across the glass floor, leaving bloodied footprints behind her.Shadowkat locates Firestar's quarters, which juts out of the side of the Bloom. 'Hello?' Firestar calls out. Shadowkat then phases herself through the floor and out into space, where she floats up behind Firestar's quarters. The remains of the Orchis agent can be seen floating behind her. 'Kitty – Kate, if you're outside that door, we need to talk. I have a crazy story to tell you' Firestar remarks.Suddenly: 'TRAITOR!' Shadowkat screams as she phases herself through the wall of Firestar's quarters, and kicks Firestar in the back of her head. Firestar drops to the ground, and backs herself up against a wall. 'Wait! I need you to hear -' Firestar begins, but Shadowkat punches her and tells her that the only thing she wants to hear from her is her last breath.'You don't understand!' Firestar exclaims as she surrounds herself with fiery energy. 'There's nothing to understand' Shadowkat responds as she shoves her sword into Firestar's head.'At the gala, when it was clear we'd lost, Jean telepathically inserted memories into Stasis' head about recruiting me and being a double agent so I could help whoever survived in whatever way I could, and before she could tell anyone else, she died' Firestar reveals to Shadowkat. With the blade still phased into her head, Firestar informs Shadowkat that she is now here alone, trying to do what she can, and that she didn't ask for this, but Jean did it anyway, saying she had to volunteer. 'But I didn't really volunteer and I didn't even want to be an X-Man, but now that I am, I know I can be important – I can be of service. I'm a mutant – and I'm proud. I resist' Firestar adds.Shadowkat unphases the sword, removing it from Firestar's head. 'Jean made it all up as she was dying – I swear!' Firestar calls out as she begins to burn up the floor. 'And if you're gonna kill me anyway, then maybe I should stop holding back and unleash my power on this station – sending it crashing to the planet below!' Firestar exclaims. Shadowkat places her sword at Firestar's neck once more, and Angelica tells her that she knows she doesn't believe her – but that this is the truth.'Are. You. Kidding. Me?' Shadowkat asks as she removes the covering from the lower part of her face. 'That's the most “Jean” story I've heard in all my lives' Shadowkat smiles as she puts her sword back in the case strapped to her back. 'The last punch was for appearances. Gotta make it look good' Shadowkat explains as she extends a hand to Firestar. Firestar closes her eyes, before taking Shadowkat's hand. 'Good fight' she tells her. 'For me' Kate points out, before asking Angelica if she is okay. 'I'll live' Angelica replies.Angelica asks Kate who else survived the massacre, but Kate tells her that she doesn't know – and that even if she did, she wouldn't tell her, as everything is on strict need-to-know. Kate pulls her cowl up over her head, and Angelica asks her if, after all this, she still doesn't trust her. Kate explains that it isn't about trust, but about running an effective resistance. 'Don't take it personally' Kate adds. 'Fine. Just tell any of the others who want to come at me that I'm on your side' Firestar asks. 'Absolutely not' Kate smiles. 'It's good for your cover to fight us once in a while' she points out.Kate stands in front of a Krakoan gateway aboard the Bloom and starts to step through it, before turning to Firestar and letting her in on one little secret: 'I want you to know my truth. I can kill you at any time. So don't go get any ideas about playing both sides' Kate warns. Firestar looks shocked as Kate passes through the gate and asks her how this is possible. 'Doesn't matter. Consider having to defend yourself as your Danger Room trials' Kate adds as she puts her mask back on. Kate then tells Angelica to make the most of Jean's sacrifice, get as much intel as she can and disrupt whatever she can. 'Hope you survive the experience' Kate jokes as she disappears. 'Ow' Firestar mutters as she wipes the blood from under her nose. '$%&* me' she adds.Later that night, in the alley behind the Hellfire Club. “Hazel Kendal” stands in the dark alley, arms folded, before Shadowkat appears and tells her not to worry, that it didn't happen. 'Oh, thank god' Emma utters, before asking Kate if she found out what happened to Scott. Kate pauses, before informing Emma that Scott didn't come up, but that she is getting closer. 'It's been weeks. We need to find him' Emma snaps. 'If I'm leaving the relative safety of this cover and driving off a cliff with you as we dedicate ourselves to revenge, then I need to know he's sorted' Emma explains. Motioning to the Hellfire Club, Emma tells Kate that she paid Stark back for his kindness, that he has got what he needs, and that the Kingpin can help him the rest of the way. 'He's desperate for a new suit' she adds, before announcing that she will tell Stark she is leaving with Kate. Emma heads back towards the unmarked entrance to the Club, and Kate tells her that they are going to make a good team, and that there isn't a single one of them they can't kill together.Emma Frost dreams of the revenge against the people who have done this. She looks forward to ending Dr. Stasis, the aspect of Sinister who had vexed mutantdom since before Krakoa. There was Moira X, the  traitor, and of course, Feilong – the man who had failed to conquer Mars but had taken Stark's Iron Man technology by force. She really looks forward to killing him – and here he is, standing right before her at the Gala. 'Oh my god' Emma utters as she looks at Feilong, when suddenly, Tony Stark grabs her and pulls her away. 'Unhand me, Tony' Emma complains. 'A word, Ms Kendal' Tony tells Emma as he drags her into a nearby room, where he asks her to hear him out. 'No, I have abided every humiliation. EVERY SINGLE ONE – but I will not play “Hazel” for that murdering pig!' Emma snaps. She starts to remove the ring that masks her mutant status around her finger and tells Stark to step aside.Stark informs Emma that he is making progress in his design work, but that Feilong has information in his head that he needs, and so they have to do this right. 'If you go out there and wipe his mind, you will prolong this war. And if you take off that ring, you'll bring the Sentinels to our door' Stark adds.Emma edges the ring closer to the end of her finger and narrows her eyes behind Hazel's round glasses as she warns Stark to get out of her way, or else she will make him. 'You wouldn't dare touch my mind -' Stark smirks, before Emma brings her knee up into Stark's crotch, hitting him hard.Suddenly: 'Stark – I'm bored. Where do you keep the good liquor -' Feilong calls out as he enters the room, where he finds Stark on one knee in front of Hazel, holding up a ring. 'What the hell are you doing, Stark? Marrying the help? Heh' Feilong laughs. Stark tells Feilong that he is trying to, if she would do him the honor. 'Miss Hazel Kendal... will you...' Stark begins.Back outside in the alleyway, Kate receives a telepathic message from Emma, informing her that something has come up, and that she is sorry. 'Me too, Emma' Kate mutters as she turns and walks away.
