Mojo Worldwide, part 4
'... spires or – more appropriately – antennae have fallen across the city... and a pirate signal is being broadcast' a newsreader announces, while her co-host reports that the signal is most certainly alien in nature, and that heroes from around the world are trying to break through the structures to stop the transmission. He adds that thus far, only the X-Men have been able to pass through the force fields surrounding the spires, and they appear to be thrown into violent games of life and death.
'Hey! Nobody wants to hear from you! Get off the air!' a man on a sofa shouts, bucket of popcorn in his arms as he shakes his fist at the television screen 'We're missing the best part!' another civilian exclaims.
Footage shows two of the large spires / antennae, surrounded by force fields, as one of the newsreaders reports that the games are being presented as a form of entertainment for the viewing audience, and that they are breaking through the rogue signal to bring these warnings, urging civilians to stay away from the spires. The announcer adds that it is unknown how many civilians have been trapped inside, or how the force field is being generated. Suddenly, the screens change, a picture of Mojo, displayed in “Mojovision” replace the transmission, as the inter-dimensional being declares that he is not sorry to interrupt this transmission, but he has had enough of the Hair Gel and Teleprompter Brigade. He apologizes to his dear viewers, and explains that it seems the enemies of entertainment and wholesome family fun are more clever than he would have thought. 'But don't you worry! We won't let any old network fuddy-duddy ruin our good time! In fact, I have a new contest for our at-home players! Time to hit your earthly social media!' Mojo declares from Mojoworld, where the cameras focus in on him and lights shown down on him.
Mojo tells his viewers to let the world know how much they love-love-love the thrills and chills brought to them through Mojovision, to describe the mayhem and murder they want to see inflicted upon the X-Men. 'The person with the most malicious suggestion wins a spot as a Mojoworld Executive Producer!' Mojo reveals. 'How's that for fun-fun-fun?' he asks. Nearby, at a control panel, Major Domo asks one of the strange creatures that work at the studio how they are doing in the ratings. The creature replies that they get an attention bump every time the boss mentions mutilation, murder, bloodshed or cash prizes.
'Excellent. I’ll have the writers' room punch up Mojo's dialogue' Major Domo remarks, before asking about their other project. The creature looks at Major Domo and reports that the sub-routines are in place, the signal is strong, and with a few more spires in place, he is estimating at 25% efficiency boost in both neural re-mapping and terraforming.
A screen lights up behind Mojo, depicting the fifteen X-Men currently caught up in his plan. Mojo calls it the scorecard and points out that neatly half of their contestants have been eliminated during the challenges. 'I don't know about you, but I'm thrilled with those numbers!' Mojo declares, suggesting that he needs to throw a few more unexpected twists into the game – twists, and maybe chainsaws. Mojo throws his arms into the air and declares that they will rejoin their regularly scheduled programming – because nothing washes stress of the daily grind away like watching X-Men die!
Several X-Men appear on screen – the time-displaced Jean Grey a.k.a. Marvel Girl and Henry McCoy a.k.a. Beast and their teammate, the reality-lost Jimmy Hudson, along with Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler and Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus, who are in the Savage Land, fighting a mixture of mechanical Brood, strange Horsemen of Apocalypse and a large Phoenix-powered Sentinel. 'We can't win this! They just... they just keep coming!' Jean Grey calls out as the X-Men defend themselves against the horde. 'These creatures – they're horrible! All of the most terrible foes of the X-Men – fused together as monsters!' Colossus exclaims. As the Beast punches a Brood, he remarks that he thinks they are in a respawn scenario. Suddenly, Marvel Girl screams as a Brood shoves a scythe through her shoulder.
'Jean! Oh, Lord! She's hurt!' Jimmy utters. Colossus slams back a Brood and tells Jimmy that he can get him to her – 'Just be ready' he adds  before hurling Jimmy across the battle field, where he slices his claws through a large Brood. 'I've got you' Nightcrawler announces as he teleports into the air and grabs Jean and Jimmy, returning them to the ground, where Jimmy takes Jean in his arms. 'You all right, Red?' Jimmy, covered in green Brood blood, asks. Jean smiles at him and tells him that she will be fine. She explains that she shut pain receptors down, so it only hurts a little, and telekinetic bandages are wonderful things. 'Now stop worrying about me – and watch your back!' Marvel Girl warns him as the Phoenix-powered Sentinel appears behind him, but Jean disables it with a psychic attack. 'Isn't it sweet the way they look out for one another?' Beast smiles. 'Of course, Henry. That is what X-Men do' Colossus replies as his fist strikes a Brood. 'Obviously my sardonically jealous wit is lost on you' Beast mutters.
'Ah! Action! Danger! Young hormones flaring! And bloodshed! Oh-so-much bloodshed!' the excited Mojo exclaims, claiming that it warms his heart, he tells his viewers that he hopes it warms their hearts, too, out there in TV land. 'Because we're not done yet!' Mojo adds, before shouting 'BRING 'EM DOWN!' He declares that he wants more spires, more channels to delight and thrill! Civilians look up from the street as more spires fall from the sky, piercing the streets below. 'And for this weekend only, we're offering everyone a free preview of our ever-expanding line-up!' Mojo boasts, adding that Mojovision brings the very best in murderous entertainment – the shows you can't live without. 'And get a load of our special guest contestants! Back from the dead... from obscurity... back from wherever killer robots with delusions of autonomy go...' Mojo utters.
Downtown Manhattan, where Mojo announces the arrival of Magneto, Polaris and Danger! 'The X-Men... they're trapped inside' Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris utters. Magneto assures her that they will get them out, even if it means revealing to the world that he is still alive, they will get them out. Polaris releases some magnetic power towards one of the spires and reports that it appears to be metallic, but she is unable to control it, unable to tear it apart. As the force field around the spire rises, Danger remarks that it appears to be reacting to them, and adds that she believes they are keyed to mutant DNA, more specifically, programmed to respond to the presence of X-Men. 'Who knows what excitement these three heavy hitters will find within our new game zones?' Mojo asks.  'Let's all watch and find out!'
'Where have we been taken? Our clothes... why are we dressed like this?' Lorna asks, unimpressed as she, Magneto and Danger find themselves in a sewer, the muck-covered floor littered with bodies of Morlocks, while Magneto is wearing his old purple costume and Polaris is in the costume she wore when possessed by Malice. Danger tells them that this is all a simulation, and she assumes that any safety protocols have been disengaged. 'These people... they've been butchered' Lorna remarks as she walks past the body of Callisto. Magneto announces that he knows where they are – the Morlock Tunnels. Suddenly, Sabretooth, Arclight, Scalphunter and Harpoon of the Marauders appear. Lookee what we've stumbled onto, Marauders. A bunch of meat we must've missed in our first pass' Sabretooth grins. 'During the Mutant Massacre' Magneto declares.
Mojo announces that it looks like the Master of Magnetism is going to enjoy himself, and suggests they take a quick break from this scenario and check in on the other guests.'Uh-oh! These X-Men don't seem to be enjoying themselves quite as much!' Mojo comments.
And at that moment, Rachel Summers a.k.a. Prestige, Kitty Pryde, Longshot and the time-displaced Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops find themselves going up against the Avengers. 'I lived through the Avengers vs X-Men business once! I have no desire to revisit it!' Rachel, wearing the costume she wore during this time, exclaims as she casts a telekinetic blast towards the Avengers, but Thor blocks it. Longshot swings towards Spider-Man, while Kitty Pryde phases through a blast od energy Iron Man fires at her, and Cyclops, wearing his Phoenix five costume, moves towards Captain America and the Black Widow, while the Hulk is also in amongst the Avengers. 'These aren't the real Avengers, are they? I mean, they're holograms or something' Cyclops remarks. Kitty tells him that, real or not, they are trying to kill the X-Men, so they shouldn't hold back.
'I hate to say it, but this is probably my fault!' Longshot smiles, explaining that Mojo is bound to be angry he is here, and is taking it all out on the X-Men. Cyclops fires an optic blast, knocking back several of the Avengers and reminding Mojo that he said he hacked Mojo's signal and asks if there is any way he could hack them a way out of here. 'Now that's the kind of battlefield thinking I expect from my Dad!' Rachel exclaims as she flies away from Iron Man. 'Get us out of here!' Rachel adds. As he tinkers with one of the cameras that has been following him around, Longshot tells the X-Men that they are asking a lot of his tech, but that he might be able to “MacGyver” an escape route, he just needs a second or two – and at that moment, Spider-Man swings towards Longshot, ready to strike, but Captain America's shield suddenly cuts through his webbing, and he falls to the ground. '...and a little luck' Longshot jokes.
'Done!' Longshot exclaims as he completes his work. The cameras zoom in on him as he tells the X-Men to come this way, and that it is time to roll out. Thor's hammer passes through Kitty's phased form as she tells Longshot that wherever he is taking them, it has gotta be better than this place. Energy crackles around the four as the Avengers close in on them, and Longshot admits that he honestly has no idea where they are headed – and that he is making this up as he goes. With that, the four heroes disappear.
'What just happened? Where did they go?' Mojo calls out. 'WHERE DID THE X-MEN GO?' Mojo bellows. Major Domo reports that Longshot has spirited them away, that he has hacked into their main feed, using it as some sort of transmat. 'I didn't ask WHAT he did! I asked where he took them! Can you tell me that, Major Domo?' Mojo asks, spitting all over Major Domo, who slowly wipes the goo from his face and replies that he is afraid not, and informs him that they could be almost anywhere. 'Any one of the game zones...or even in one of the sub-channels...or rehearsal sets' Major Domo explains. As several strange creatures tap away at consoles, Major Domo reports that they are searching for them, but the feed is expansive, and it will take time. Major Domo closes his eyes as he informs Mojo, and he knows Mojo isn't going to appreciate this, but that views of Longshot's pirate broadcast are spiking. 'This is unacceptable! Somebody find those X-Men!' Mojo orders, adding that, in the meantime, they need a ratings bump – 'We need to kill some X-Men!'
Back in the Mutant Massacre scenario, Magneto uses his power against Scalphunter, while Polaris blasts back Arclight and Danger slams her fist into Sabretooth's face. Magneto reports that his abilities seem to be working well enough, and remarks that if this is a simulation, it responds to his control of magnetism. 'It would appear our host places value on giving us a fighting chance' Danger points out. 'Magneto...Dad...I realize you're having a good time and all...but maybe we should find our way out of here and find out what happened to the X-Men...' Polaris suggests, while Magneto grins, and his eyes glow with power. Suddenly, a voice tells them not to worry for the X-Men, for if they prove themselves worthy, they will survive. 'If not... they will yield to the coming Apocalypse!' the uber-mutant booms as he appears in the tunnel.
'Nicely done! Nicely done! Surprise crossover episode!' Mojo exclaims. 'Make sure we amp up the lethality levels, give that scene a real George R R Martin singer!' He adds that, speaking of lethal, they should see how their other batch of mutants are faring.
At that moment, Marvel Girl, Beast, Jimmy, Colossus and Nightcrawler are surrounded by the Horsemen and the strange Brood. 'Where are they all coming from? Every time we knock them down, they just rematerialize!' Marvel Girl exclaims, to which Nightcrawler suggests that he could teleport them away – but to where? The Beast announces that they still have options, and that he can work a spell – but as he starts to cast a spell and switch to his white furry form, Marvel Girl tells him that he can't, and that he knows what might happen if he lets magic consume him. 'It's all right, Jeannie. It's what X-Men do' the Beast replies, when suddenly, 'Don't touch that dial!' a voice calls out, as optic energy and telekinetic fury slam down into the horde of strange creatures, blasting them away. 'The cavalry is here!' Longshot calls out from where he stands on a ledge nearby.
'Katya!' Colossus calls out as he sees Kitty and the others. 'Come with me if you want to live' Longshot jokes, to which Cyclops asks him if everything he says is from a movie or a TV show. 'Everything everybody says is from a movie or a TV show' Longshot replies, adding that they are all broadcasting, all the time'. Jean tells Nightcrawler that if he wants to teleport them somewhere, then he can take them to the others. 'I'm way ahead of you, Jean' Kurt replies as he teleports the X-Men, and Longshot calls out 'Next stop – anywhere but here!'
'Kitty asks as she and te others re-materialize in a non-descript corridor. Longshot tells her that he has no clue, and that he was just letting the camera scan through. Suddenly, the cameras appear to short-circuit, and fizzle out. Longshot smirks and announces that his cameras need a little time to reboot. Jimmy Hudson suddenly picks up a scent, while Scott telepathically tells Jean that he knows she is injured, and that he can feel the pain through their psychic rapport. Jean telepathically tells Scott that she is fine, but they have lost so many of the others. 'There's something...just through here' Jimmy announces as he unsheathes his claws before a large metal door.
'It's the rest of the X-Men!' Jimmy calls out as he and the others enter the lab where Old Man Logan, Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm, the reality-lost Bloodstorm, and the time-displaced Warren Worthington a.k.a. Angel and Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman are being held in stasis tanks. 'I think they're still alive!' Jimmy adds Beast looks at Iceman and tells Jimmy that he is correct, adding that it appears their host knows the value of keeping the X-Men around. He reminds the others that they saw their teammates die, but that it was just an illusion, thank goodness, and they were transported to this facility instead. Jean asks Hank if he can wake them up, and he tells her that he thinks he can, as the controls don't appear to be over-complicated, and nothing he can't handle.
Shortly, Bobby yawns and stretches as he emerges from the pod, while Logan rubs the back of his head and announces 'That...was unpleasant'. 'Goddess! The nightmares!' Ororo utters, while Cyclops tells Bloodstorm that he is glad to see she is all right, and puts his hands on her arms, helping her out of the pod. Bloodstorm looks uneasy and tells Cyclops that she isn't sure that is an accurate description, explaining that she felt herself die – once again – and that it felt very real.
Longshot tells everyone that they might want to make it snappy with the tearful reunions, as he is guessing it won't be long before a security detail shows up, and that his cameras might not survive any more rewiring. 'You have no idea where you're leading us, do you?' Rachel asks as the X-Men all following Longshot down a corridor, but Longshot remarks that this place looks a little familiar, and adds that he hopes he is wrong, but that he has a bad feeling about this. The heroes come to a stop, and, looking up, Old Man Logan remarks 'Yeah, kid. You and me both' as the X-Men see strange buildings sprawling throughout the city before them, under a hazy orange sky. Large monitors depicting the diabolical Mojo are attached to all of the buildings, as the horrid creature exclaims 'Ah-ha! There you are my errant little x-pains!'
'Look at what you've found! The man behind the curtain! The city behind the signal!' Mojo declares. 'You said this looked familiar. Where are we?' Kitty asks Longshot, who announces that they are in the place he has been trying to escape since the beginning. 'This is Mojoworld!' Longshot exclaims. He tells the X-Men to take a look around while he keeps on trying to exterminate them, and this time with no takesies-backsies. 'You might as well get comfortable with your new environment! Because I'm bringing my world to New York City!' Mojo announces, revealing that his broadcast is reprogramming the minds of his earthly viewers – and all his pretty spires are going to start terraforming their surroundings! Indeed, more Mojoworld spires plummet into New York City, as Mojo exclaims that, pretty soon, the city that never sleeps is gonna look just like his kinda of town!

Mojo Worldwide, part 6
New York City, where large blimps hover over the city projecting the inter-dimensional Spineless One called Mojo over the city, as glowing spires are dropped throughout the city. 'Who would have thunk it? The walls between reality come tumbling down...and it's b-e-a-u-tiful!' Mojo declares. He announces that the signal is strong, and tells the citizens of New York that first he will reshape their minds, and then their world – and they can't help but watch every catastrophic second of it. Civilians look up and listen in awe as Mojo tells them that he knows that Earthers are a strong-willed sort, and that having a spine gives them delusions of grandeur and all, but that if they think they can look away, if they think they can form a resistant thought of their own, then they have no idea who they are $#%&%#*%$ with! Mojo adds that to illustrate his point, they should watch as the combined forces of the X-Men make their last stand. 'The games are finished! This is the really real world! And the final elimination round is just getting under way!'
Indeed, the captive X-Men are now battling cyborg-like Brood. Fighting for their lives are Ororo “Storm” Munroe, Kitty Pryde, Old Man Logan, Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner, Piotr “Colossus” Rasputin, Rachel “Prestige” Summers, and the time-displaced original X-Men Scott “Cyclops” Summers, Jean “Marvel Girl” Grey, Bobby “Iceman” Drake, Warren “Angel” Worthington, Hank “Beast” McCoy and their new allies, the reality-lost Jimmy Hudson, and from another reality, Bloodstorm.
'If we're gonna beat Mojo at his own game...if we're  going to save everyone who's been sucked into his mind-control transmission...we need to stop wasting time duking it out with these foot soldiers!' Cyclops calls out. Marvel Girl knocks one of the Brood aside with a telekinetic punch and tells Scott that she is with him, but points out that these guys are standing between them and the control room, and she doesn't think they will step aside, even if they ask nicely.
Prestige fights alongside Marvel Girl and as she tosses a creature back with a telekinetic blast, tells Jean that some of them can hold them here, keep them bust while the others make a play for home. As the rest of the mutants battle the creatures, Kitty Pryde phases through a cyborg and calls out to Longshot, a one-time X-Man who is fighting alongside some of his former teammates and reminds him that he has been staging guerrilla strikes on Mojo longer than anyone – but she stops herself mid-sentence when she looks over and sees Longshot being confronted by a tall fellow in a blue costume with a white cape. The large man calls himself Magog and tells Longshot that it has been a while since they tussled. 'Last time, it didn't go so well for you' Magog reminds Longshot, who asks 'Really? I don't remember thanks to the concussion'.
As Jimmy moves towards Longshot, Logan lunges at Magog and kicks him in the back, telling Jimmy to get their good luck charm out of here, as he can lead them right where they wanna go. 'Somebody clear us a path!' Logan calls out, so Angel swoops down and releases cosmic energy from his wings, 'One path – coming right up, Logan' he exclaims as he blasts dozens of the cybernetic Brood.
'This way!' Colossus calls out as he tears some large steel doors open. Cyclops speaks to Jean through their telepathic link and tells her to go and not worry about them. He adds that their psychic rapport is loud and clear, so he will be with her every step of the way. As she looks back and watches him fire an optic blast, Jean runs ahead and telepathically tells Scott to take care of himself. 'Please' Jean adds as she telekinetically slams one of her opponents against the wall of the corridor that she runs down with Longshot, Old Man Logan, Jimmy Hudson, Colossus and Angel, who flies behind the others. Jean asks Longshot which way they need to go and he tells her that he doesn't know. 'I'm making this up as I go' Longshot smiles. 'Uh – you're joking, right?' Jean asks, wide-eyed. 'Do you understand how many lives are at stake?' she enquires. 'Of course I do! I almost never know exactly where I'm going... and I almost always get there!' Longshot smiles.
Suddenly, Jean hears a telepathic call from Rachel and asks her 'What's up?' to which Rachel reports that she is running a telepathic psi-sweep of the facility, trying to help point them in the right direction. 'That's great, because we may be a little lost' Jean responds. As her teammates and the other X-Men fight around her, Rachel reports that she found something, or more precisely, someone, and she is pretty sure she wasn't supposed to know about. 'Jean... I'd ask you to tell me you didn't know about this... but we both know that's untrue. All this time, you've been working with -' Rachel begins, when suddenly, 'Sorry to eavesdrop, Rachel. Psychic rapport, y'know' Cyclops calls out as he telepathically interrupts, while blasting several flying Brood with an optic blast. He then tells her that she might be right, they should have told someone what they have been doing, but that now is not the time to discuss it. 'Fair enough, but something like this... it was bound to surface eventually' Rachel replies.
'Let's see if you're blue on the inside!' Magog calls out as he grabs Nightcrawler, only an instant later he is forced to release him as Kitty phases through him, surprising him. 'Coming through, pal! Let's see how a little partial intangibility suits you' Kitty exclaims, while Iceman is up against a man with a red beard and mohawk and calls out 'Hey, Kitty! How about making dog—boy here a little insubstantial, too?' to which Bobby's foe calls out that his name is Gog and boasts that he is anything but insubstantial. 'I'll hear you scream my name before I rip your frosty-guts out!' Gog warns Bobby.
'Well, well, well... look what we've stumbled on to!' Logan remarks as he and the others peer into a room where several strange creatures are working at control stations. 'Looks like a control room to me' Longshot replies. 'Don't get cocky, kid' Logan mutters, to which Longshot tells him 'The line is “Great, kid. Don't get cocky”. But nice one'. Longshot then grins and declares 'Now, let's go save both our worlds'. He and the others rush into the control room, 'Come, X-Men! Take the fight to these broadcast technicians!' Colossus shouts as they start to take down the creatures. 'I bet that sounded a lot cooler in your head, huh?' Jimmy asks. 'Da. Let's forget I even said that' Colossus replies. Longshot starts tinkering with some equipment and tells the others that the people of Earth's addiction to Mojo's programming is taking hold, just like all the viewers in the Mojoverse, and when they cut the signal, there is going to be one big, collective Earth migraine, but that it is a small price to pay so they don't end up like those in Mojoworld.
Suddenly: 'Don't touch that dial!' a voice shouts, and someone blasts the equipment Mojo was tinkering with – it's Mojo, who scuttles into the room on his robotic spider-like legs, and tells the X-Men that they get more and more resourceful, and more and more annoying, every time he sees them. 'Divas! That's what you are! Demanding little divas!' Mojo exclaims, adding that he created the diva mindset, and is riding high on a ratings surge and is going to rain a meteor shower of pain on their pathetic little carcasses. 'Flank him, kid!' Logan calls out to Jimmy. 'Cut his legs out from under him!'
But as Jimmy rushes towards Mojo, Jean tells both Jimmy and Logan to watch out, as Mojo is siphoning mental energy from everyone who watches his programming, 'I can feel it bleeding off him!' Jean adds. '“Bleed,” you say? If blood is what you want, I'll give you buckets of it!' Mojo exclaims as he grabs Jimmy with one hand, and blasts Logan back using the energy beam from his cybernetic tail. Mojo turns to Jimmy: 'You're Baby Wolverine, right? You don't look much like you're old man' Mojo remarks, boasting that, up close and personal, he can drain Jimmy's life force whether he is addicted to the programming or not. Jimmy growls, and Mojo jokes that now the family resemblance comes out.
Back in the other chamber: 'Bloodstorm! What are you doing?' Storm calls out as she sees the alternate reality version of herself prepare to bite one of the creatures. 'What are you doing? You are no monster!' Storm exclaims. Bloodstorm explains that if she is to keep fighting, then she must feed, while, nearby, Iceman increases his form as he continues his fight against Gog, who asks 'You want a horror show? I'll give you a horror show!' and suddenly large bone-like spikes sprout from his arms and shoulders and he roars at Iceman, exclaiming that Mojo is feedings him scraps from his table. 'A Ratings surge!' Gog shouts. Rachel realizes that Mojo isn't the only one drawing power from the viewership, and decides that if she can cut his thugs off from the power flow, turn it back on them, she might be able to incapacitate them. She releases a surge of psychic energy, and Gog collapses. 'Nice job. But I totally almost had him' Bobby declares as he, Kitty and Nightcrawler gather together with Rachel.
'Nyet!' Colossus calls out as he tries to topple the gluttonous Mojo and prevent him from shoving a sharp cybernetic foot through Old Man Logan. 'I do not care how powerful you have become! No one else will die at your hands... or one of your mechanical feet'.
'You know you're beaten, Mojo! Why not just surrender before this goes really badly for you?' Longshot suggests as he hurls some blades towards Mojo, they strike his arm and he drops Jimmy. 'Surrender? I'd like to think you know me better than that!' Mojo retorts, adding that he didn't cry “uncle” when Longshot's little pirate broadcast started leeching his audience, and here he is on the verge of a massive ratings sweep. 'Longshot, my boy, I'm just getting started!' Mojo declares, when suddenly, as Logan helps Jimmy out of the way, Angel lights Mojo up in a blaze of cosmic energy.
Jean concentrates hard, 'If I can just reach... just find...' she begins, but Mojo, recovered from the cosmic blast, tells Marvel Girl that he doesn't buy into her hype, and declares that his mind is off limits. 'Believe me, you wouldn't like what you find in there anyhow! There's a reason I keep my browser history clean!' Mojo exclaims. Mojo blasts Jean, then starts firing blasts around the room, using the weaponry on his tail and attached to his shoulders. 'When are ya gonna learn? You mess with Mojo... you get canceled!' Mojo exclaims as Colossus is struck by one of the blasts, then Angel, too. Mojo picks Marvel Girl up by her throat and holds her in the air, 'The people of Earth... their attention... their focus... revving my engines... and you can't stop me!' he exclaims, choking Jean. Logan asks Jimmy if he is ready for a rematch, and, recovering from his injuries, Jimmy replies that he is ready, while asking Logan 'You know we're losing this fight, don't you?' to which Logan points out that won't stop either of them.
Suddenly, blasts of energy tear the tubes connecting Mojo's weaponry on his shoulders to his blubbery body. 'Those were warning shots, Mojo. The next blasts take your eyes out' a voice declares – Danger has arrived with Magneto and Polaris! Mojo frowns as he looks over at the trio, none of whom look very impressed, and he tells them that he wondered when they would show up. Jean smugly tells Mojo that all that time, she wasn't trying to reach his mind, she was calling reinforcements. 'You're nothing without your precious ratings, and I think I know how -' Jean begins, before Mojo tosses her across the room. 'I'm sorry. Were you saying something?' he asks, before Danger jumps towards him and starts blasting his body, telling him that she admits to being impressed by his simulations, and that if he wasn't targeted for extermination, she might ask him for a critique of her own.
Longshot goes over to Marvel Girl and asks her if she is okay. 'I'm pretty sure everything is fractured. But I'll live' Jean replies, while Mojo knocks Danger back, pointing out that she isn't even a mutant. 'If I'm gonna fight the X-Men – I at least want to fight the real deal!' he exclaims as he scuttles towards Magneto and Polaris. Jean calls out to them, explaining that he is too strong, and that he is drawing more strength from his audience. She adds that his machines are the key, so if they monkey-wrench his tech, they cut off his power supply. 'An excellent suggestion, Marvel Girl' Magneto remarks as he and Polaris unleash magnetic fury against their foe. 'It's father / daughter moments like this that I think we've missed out on over the years' Polaris remarks. Magneto tells his daughter that there is no time like the present to make up for lost time, before suggesting to Danger that she might like to bolster her shielding for a moment.
Energy crackles around Mojo as his tech is disabled. A similar effect ripples through the spires across New York City, and the blimps with screens of Mojo's image are de-activated. 'No! Not that! Don't do that!' Mojo pleads. At that moment, the complex plunged into darkness. 'We did it! We pulled the plug!' Longshot exclaims. 'That's a good thing, right?' Jimmy asks. In New York City, civilians watch as the blimps start to fall. 'Everyone! Get back!' someone calls out. 'No! Look! It's vanishing!' another exclaims as the blimp suddenly fades away.
In the other part of the complex on Mojoworld, 'They did it!' Bloodstorm remarks. Cyclops reports that it was Polaris and Magneto, that they created an electromagnetic pulse and shut down Mojo's entire network. 'Magneto? Erik is here? I thought he was dead' Nightcrawler calls out. At that moment, the spires start to disappear as well. 'The people who were trapped inside – they're all right!' a civilian looking at the spire calls out.
'What... have... you... done?' Mojo calls out, furious. He suddenly starts to flicker like an old television struggling to get signal. He tells the X-Men that they have severed his connection to the material plane, and that he can't hold himself together. Marvel Girl warns the others not to get too close to him, as he could still be dangerous. 'You monsters! You took everything from me! You've killed me...' Mojo calls out, before he vanishes. 'Somehow, I doubt it. I don't think anyone is that lucky' Longshot remarks. The facility around them begins to vanish as well, and Longshot declares that Mojo's world is fading – and that it will be like it was never here at all.
Later, night has fallen over New York City. Kitty, Storm, Prestige, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Bloodstorm are together as they examine the city, and Kitty remarks that, all things considered, the spires caused minimal damage, and with the way they vanished, cleanup shouldn’t be too bad. 'Wouldn't it be nice... if all the bad guys vanished so easily?' Kitty adds as Magneto descends with Polaris, Longshot, Marvel Girl, Angel, Danger, Jimmy and Logan. 'Jean!' Cyclops exclaims as they embrace, while Magneto approaches Kitty, and suggests that they “get on with it”.
'Who the hell do you think you are?' Kitty snaps. 'How dare you lure the X-Men away for whatever maniacal, secret scheme you've cooked up in that chrome dome of yours?' Kitty exclaims. She adds that the kids might be naive enough to buy into his garbage, but that she is not. 'Aren't you supposed to be dead?' Kitty adds. 'Why is it that you keep coming back? You're like a magnetic bad penny'.
Kitty then turns to her former charges: 'And you two! Are you kidding me with this? That's Magneto! You can't just expect me to sit back and -' Kitty begins, yelling at Scott and Jean, when suddenly, Colossus intervenes, cutting Kitty off, as he reminds her that his own relationship with Magneto is complicated at best, but that it was Magneto and Polaris who put an end to Mojo’s broadcast, and that as much as any of them, Magneto is responsible for saving the lives of everyone who was trapped in Mojo's hellish games. 'You can't be serious. We can't just forget what he's -' Kitty begins. Colossus tells her that he will never forget the things Magneto has done, and nor will he forget the times Magneto has fought by their side. 'I will not forget that he brought you back to me when I thought you were gone forever' Colossus adds. 'Aw, crap. I hate it when our archenemies save the day' Kitty mutters, before telling Magneto that whatever it was he was up to, he wanted the world to believe he was dead and buried, so good luck with that. 'And now – smile for the cameras' she adds, as civilians with cameras film the X-Men.
Marvel Girl telepathically tells Cyclops that Kitty will never stop trying to get them to return to the school now. 'Ugh! The lectures!' she exclaims. Cyclops tells her that this changes things – it changes everything. 'Not everything' Jean replies, looking back at Angel, the Beast and Bobby.
Longshot goes over to Polaris and tells her that it is good to see her, and that it has been too long. Lorna tells Longshot that if he needed a place to stay, she is sure they could find a place for him in Madripoor, but Longshot starts to walk away and announces that he needs to find his way back to the Mojoverse, if he can, as he has got an audience that it probably feeling pretty lost. He adds that most of the people of the Mojoverse longed for freedom, but that doesn't mean they know what to do with it now that they have got it.
'So... what's next?' Angel asks as he hovers over the group. Rachel suggests that they do what they always do – save the day, say their farewells and wait for whatever comes next.
'I always thought this world was a bit of a sewer. Who knew how right I was?' Mojo asks as he scuttles through the underground tunnels. He then barks at Major Domo, declaring that he hopes he has some good news for him. 'Good news, your eminence?' Major Domo replies, standing with Magog and Gog, near a wall lined wiith television monitors. 'That depends on your point of view, I suppose' Major Domo remarks, revealing that the damage to their operation was catastrophic – not only did the terraforming operation fail, but their link to the Mojoverse has been irrevocably severed, meaning they are stranded here. 'Stranded. That is not a word that blows my skirt up' Mojo snarls. 'I would think not' Major Domo replies.
Major Domo states that while their primary objectives died on the vines, their backup plans have yielded fruit – the people of Earth were too busy dealing with the threat of the spires to notice their more subtle endeavors. Atop a building in New York City, several satellite dishes have been established. Major Domo reports that the Mojo News Network is fully operational on Earth, and they can begin broadcasting immediately. 'Now, that's what I'm talking about!' Mojo exclaims, grinning. 'People of Earth – buckle up – your old pal Mojo's ready for prime time!'

Cross Time Capers, part 1
The X-Mansion in Madripoor, where Magneto sits on a chair in the library, book in hand, he suddenly cries out in pain and clutches his head. 'Whu... what is... nggh....' he groans, falling to the floor, '... why... I won't let you... when... when does this happen?' Magneto utters, in anguish.
On the rooftop, the time-displaced Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops sits, huncched over under the night sky. 'A lonely rooftop... the dead of night... this is more my haunt than yours, Scott' the reality-lost Bloodstorm remarks as she appears, hovering above the rooftop. 'Yeah, I guess so' Scott remarks, looking up at Bloodstorm before hanging his head again. He tells her that he hopes she doesn't mind, but that he needed some time to himself, to clear his head.Bloodstorm looks out over the sprawling city before them, before asking Scott what it is that troubles him. Scott tells her that it is kind of hard to explain, before revealing that he and Jean have a psychic rapport, he can never have a thought to himself – it's like she is always in his head. 'You wouldn't understand' he adds.
Bloodstorm tells Scott that he is wrong, that she knows exactly what he is talking about. 'Oh... you mean... uh... Dracula, don’t you?' Scott asks. 'I should've -' he begins, apologetic, but Bloodstorm tells him that it is all right, and that she wanted him to know that he is not alone. Bloodstorm remarks that this city is beautiful, and that there is nothing like this on her world. 'I suppose. Because of my visor, everything just looks red' Scott explains. Bloodstorm tells Scott that, once again, she understands. Her glowing red eyes look out over the city, and she tells Scott that they see things in the same light.
Inside, Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman sits before a large television. The announcement from the television is that this is the Mojo Entertainment and News Network, and the reality game show sensation has returned. Two panicked people appear on the screen as the announcement declares that the contestants have signed their rights away to compete for ten million dollars, and all they have to do is survive for 24 hours being hunted by feral wolves, vicious killers and a special surprise hunter. 'Let's just say... this episode of Dying to be Rich will leave you Kraven more!' Bobby wonders what he is supposed to be feeling here – is he supposed to be horrified or fascinated, as Mojo has established this perverse network somewhere here on Earth, and he knows they need to figure out how to stop him. 'So... am I rotting my brain or researching our enemy?' Bobby wonders.
The announcer on screen states that he knows he will be tuning in for that, before stating that they would like to take a moment to revisit the story of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. 'Uh-oh' Bobby utters, before an image appears on screen of Magneto and his original Brotherhood facing off against the X-Men. The announcer reports that this week marks the anniversary of the confrontation between the Brotherhood and the X-Men, and, as people know, in that battle the mutant terrorist Magneto was slain, along with his minions, bringing an end to a wave of bloodshed and murder. 'But – but that never happened!' Bobby shouts, sitting up.
Inside the Danger Room, the glamorous Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris hovers, magnetic energy crackling around her, while the time-displaced Warren Worthington a.k.a. Angel hovers alongside her, his cosmic-powered wings glowing, while the reality-lost Jimmy Hudson looks up at them. 'I've sparred with Wolverine dozens of times. No offense... but you're not him. You're holding back. Your father... if he was anything like our Wolverine... wouldn't do that' Lorna declares. Jimmy explains that he doesn't know what his father was like, given he has amnesia. 'Besides, this is just a training exercise. I don't want to hurt anyone' Jimmy replies. Lorna tells him to trust her, that whatever he has got, she can handle it. 'And you just need the proper motivation' she adds, before instructing Angel to set Jimmy on fire. 'I'm sorry. What?' Angel frowns. 'I'm sorry, WHAT?' Jimmy exclaims.
Polaris smiles, 'Just a little bit' she adds, pointing out that if she is going to train him, she needs to see what he is capable of when he is not pulling his punches. 'And I -' Polaris starts to say, before she suddenly screams, and vanishes. 'Polaris?' Jimmy calls out. 'Where did she go?' he asks Angel, who declares that she just vanished. 'It's more than that. I'm not picking up her scent. It's like...it's like she was never here at all!' Jimmy announces. Both young men look concerned, and in unison declare that they need to find Jean.
At that moment, Jean Grey a.k.a. Marvel Girl and Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast, both time-displaced, are in a lab. Jean frowns as she leans on a counter and asks Hank what he is making. 'Elementary, my dear Jean' Hank replies as he hangs upside down, screwdriver in hand, he adds that he has no idea, and that he is just tinkering, and that hopefully, the device's ultimate purpose presents itself somewhere along the way. Hank looks over and tells Jean that she doesn't have to hover over him, and that he is doing much better now. 'Unless, of course, you're just hanging out with me to avoid Mr Summers and his new vampiric friend' the Beast suggests. 'Whatever, Hank' Marvel Girl frowns, assuring him that she is here because she is worried about him, and that this has nothing to do with Scott or Bloodstorm. 'Although it is your fault that she's here' Jean adds.
Hank tells Jean that for someone who can read the thoughts of those around them, she has never developed any talent for lying. He adds that it is an endearing quality, one of the reasons they are all so willing to accept their roles as her secondary or tertiary or quarternary choice for company – always after their beloved Scott Summers. 'Henry McCoy! I have made plenty of mistakes. I have been a premiere example of a jerk. I have screwed up over and over again, especially since we arrived in this time. But if you think I'm so self-important that I only want to spend time with you when there's not someone better around... then you're about as stupid as that crate of junk!' Jean exclaims. She strides over to Hank and starts to add 'I might not have every angle of life figured out but I -' when suddenly, she convulses as a voice calls out her name. Her head falls back, then she clutches her head as Hank asks her if she is okay. Jean tells him that she is all right – but it is Magneto who is in trouble.
Inside the library, Magneto is back sitting in the chair, but is slumped over, head in one of his hands. Jean and Hank rush into the library, as Jean calls out to Magneto, who assures her that he is all right, for the moment, but he needs her just the same. Still clutching his head, Magneto declares that he doesn't have much time – none of them do, and that he had hoped Jean would be better prepared – he then tells her that he needs her to read his mind. 'I don't -' Jean begins, but Magneto orders her to just do it, while there is still a chance. 'All right. I'll -' Jean begins as she puts a hand to Magneto's head. But as Jean begins to read Magneto's mind, she sees an image of Professor Xavier, 'To me, my X-Men!' Professor X exclaims, before Jean falls backwards, 'Ah – it can't be... it's not...' she groans. Clutching her head, Jean looks at the Beast and tells him that Magneto has somehow been communicating with the Professor. 'But how?' the Beast asks.
'How is that possible? It can't be true -' the Beast declares, turning to Magneto, who reveals that it is true, and that they knew one day there would be a price to pay. 'You couldn't be here... in this timeline... without repercussions' Magneto declares. He claims that he wanted to make this right, but they are not ready, they haven't done enough. Magneto hovers in the air and tells Jean that she knows what must be done – they need to use the machine and go back. 'Stars and garters!' the Beast utters as Magneto suddenly vanishes. Hank turns to Jean and asks her what she saw. 'He said we needed to “go back,” but what could that mean?' Hank asks. Jean's eyes glow as she tells Hank that it means everything is collapsing – time, reality, whatever, it is falling apart because they are here. 'And we have to fix this mess' she declares, before announcing that it means they are going back home. She then sends a telepathic call to her team, instructing them to meet her in the basement urgently.
Soon, Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Jimmy and Bloodstorm stand before a large green platform in the basement. 'A time machine. Magneto built a time machine. To send us back home. And none of us knew it' Jean declares. Iceman then jokes 'You'd think the resident vampire would have been lurking around down here...l ooking for prime coffin space or whatever' to which Bloodstorm shoots him a filthy look, and Cyclops tells Bobby that wasn't cool. Bobby frowns at Scott, who remarks that they all figured something was up, but that Magneto has always been good at keeping secrets. Everyone suddenly spins around as a voice calls out 'It would not have mattered'. Danger walks towards the young mutants and informs them that her holographic systems are wired throughout the mansion, and she would have masked the Time Platform if one of them stumbled upon it. 'You knew about this?' Jean asks.
'Of course, I did' Danger replies, explaining that Magneto informed her of his intent to send them back to their origination timeline, and he wanted her help in training them, as he wanted to make sure they were prepared for what they would face. 'But we already went back. We saw that the X-Men... we... were already there' Beast remarks, adding that it was as if they never left, which means this is not their timeline. 'Are you so certain?' Danger asks, before she vanishes. 'She's gone!' Angel calls out, while wondering what she meant, and what is going on. Jean suggests that the Timestream is mucked up, and she thinks someone – one of their enemies – has figured out they are not where – when – they are supposed to be, and are making a play. 'Everything we've done over the years... everything the X-Men have done... all the times they saved the world... we can't let that be undone because we're here' Jean tells the others.
Jimmy asks why they haven't all winked out of existence, but Jean tells him that she doesn't know, but suggests that perhaps time has not caught up with them yet. 'So this is our reality? But we saw ourselves... when Hank took us back' Scott remarks. The Beast then suggests that there might have been something wrong with the incantations, but Jean tells him not to worry about the spell – he should worry about the platform. She asks him if he can make it work. Hank goes over to a control console and announces that he can try. Referring to the darts of energy that flash across the platform, Bobby tells Hank that there is no pressure, but can he hurry it up before one of those time ripples, or whatever they are, erases them from existence. Jimmy points out that if they are all here, that must mean whatever they are doing right now is going to work, otherwise, they would be able to go back in time to fix things in the first place. 'I'm not sure that's how paradoxes work' the Beast remarks. 'But hey! At least we know what kind of Wolverine you are. You're Positive-Thinker Wolverine' Angel jokes. Examining the console, the Beast tells his friends to buckle up. 'Away we go' he calls out as everyone stands on the Time Platform.
Suddenly, they are no longer in the mansion, 'What is this? What are we looking at?' Angel asks as sees some people fighting. The Beast explains that they are traveling through time and space, and that it is not an exact science. He tells everyone to stay together and not to wander. Reality changes again, and the young mutants look at a large explosion as Cyclops asks the Beast why he is taking them to these places. 'I don't want to see -' Scott begins, but the Beast exclaims that he didn't set the coordinates, that it must have been Magneto. He supposes that this might be some sort of test run. 'We've got dinosaurs!' Bobby smiles as the landscape changes and a large t-rex looms over them. 'I'm working on it!' Beast calls out.
'YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE!' Apocalypse booms as the young mutants materialize before him. 'This is not better!' Bobby exclaims. Reality changes again, and Jimmy, Scott, Hank, Jean and Bloodstorm look around awkwardly at each other as they see the wedding of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, the two locked in passionate embrace. Another change, and this time, the Phoenix Force bears down over the mutants, as Jean tells Hank to get them out of here – now. The heroes fall through the Timestream, while on the Time Platform, energy crackles, glows green, and then suddenly, it appears to shut down.
The heroes look around at their new surroundings, a city full of strange buildings and colors. 'Where are we, Hank?' Jean asks. Hank explains that, for the moment, they have stopped hopping randomly through time, but he doesn't think they have reached their intended destination yet. 'Wherever we are -' Hank begins. 'It's not home' Cyclops declares. Hank looks at a small pocket console and reports that something obviously went wrong. He tells his teammates to give him a few seconds, then he will have it figured out. 'What about this button? Is that for the year?' Bobby asks, pointing at a button. 'The year? That's simple' a voice calls out. 'Who -' Bloodstorm begins, as the heroes look up and see seven brightly dressed individuals standing above them – Metalhead! Krystalin! La Lunatica! Bloodhawk! Meanstreak! Cerebra! Skullfire! The X-Men 2099! Skullfire tells the young mutants that it is 2099 – and calling them barbarians, declares that they are a long way from whenever they are supposed to be!

Cross Time Capers, part 2
The future, the year is 2099, the city is bright and the colors sparkle. A public eye scan frequency in 12-vector-12 has detected a crime in progress, all units are instructed to engage, as the perpetrators are identified as designated X-Men, and additional perpetrators of unknown origin. Lethal force is authorized.
Brightly colored cars are parked around two groups of strange individuals. One group being the X-Men of this reality, the other, a group of time-lost, reality-displaced and very confused X-Men. 'I guess I don't know how to convince you, but we are the original X-Men – Professor Xavier's first students. Most of us, anyway. And, yeah, we're a long way from home' Jean Grey a.k.a. Marvel Girl tries to explain as she stands with Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops, Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast, Warren Worthington a.k.a. Angel, Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Jimmy Hudson and Bloodstorm.
'We know who you are. At least, we know who you look like. And, for some reason, we still haven't buried you' replies a gray-skinned man wearing a blue costume called Skullfire. Marvel Girl tells the other X-Men that the thing is, they are not supposed to be here. 'I think that's pretty obvious to them, Jean' Bobby mutters, while Jean adds that they are trying to get to another time altogether. The winged mutant called Bloodhawk asks if all X-Men where they come from play with time so haphazardly. 'Oh, brother. You don't know the half of it' Angel jokes. Cerebra informs Skullfire that she believes the other group, and tells him that there is a tachyon field around them, clinging to them, and their nervous systems all read as mutants. 'Except for him. He's an odd one' she adds, referring to Jimmy Hudson. 'Grrreat' Jimmy mutters. Cerebra adds that there is no trace of mimic corruption, and they are not gene-dupes – so they're the real deal. 'Fair enough... but why are they here?' Skullfire asks.
The Beast reports that something happened in their original time, and that he hypothesizes that it happened because they weren't there, and whatever happened has sent some catastrophic ripples through the timestream, altering events and wiping some people from existence. He adds that their equipment was not quite ready for the jump through time and space, so they are a little off course. Krystalin points out that it seems quite the coincidence that they appear here, right in front of another group of X-Men, and La Lunatica declares that she doesn't like it. Cerebra confirms that the X-Men's device is glitch-tech for certain, but that it isn't an accident they are here, and that they are jumping to pre-programmed coordinates, so either someone was testing the device, or they wanted them to visit this time. The Beast frowns at Cerebra and asks her how she knows that, and whether she can communicate with the device.
Cyclops tells the other X-Men that now they know why they are here, perhaps they can talk to them for a second, and enquires as to why they brought them into a parking garage. Bloodstorm looks at Bloodhawk and announces that they are not supposed to be here, either, that they are hiding from something – she can sense their uneasiness.
Suddenly, several soldiers storm into the parking garage, 'Alchemax public eye! Everybody, shocking freeze! You have been identified as trespassers and thieves!' one of the soldiers exclaims, while another reports that they have authority to use lethal force. 'Hey! You guys are always in trouble, too! You are X-Men!' Iceman exclaims, before Bloodstorm engages the soldiers in battle. 'We need to clear out – now! They've probably got the place surrounded... so be ready for a fight!' she exclaims. 'Right behind you, Bloodstorm. Just give me a second to juice up!' La Lunatica exclaims as she fires a blast of energy at one of the soldiers.
The others race for the exit, and Cyclops asks the X-Men of this era what they did and what they stole. 'No clock for questions right now, kid' Skullfire calls back. 'Be inquisitive later, if you don't get yourself fragged' Meanstreak suggests as the X-Men reach street level.
'Halt! You are in violation of public eye ordinances!' a voice calls out as several small vessels race up alongside the X-Men. 'Surrender at once or we'll -' someone calls out, before Meanstreak speeds past them, knocking them over. 'Too slow, shock-face. You shouldn't be playing with big boys toys anyhow. You'll burn your eye out!' Meanstreak exclaims.
The Beast looks at the control pad that he has been carrying around with him, and as Krystalin creates a large colorful crystal in front of her to protect herself from weapons fire, she tells him to get his eyes off his busted tech, but the Beast claims that he thinks he is getting it close to working again. 'That won't do you any good if you get yourself roasted!' La Lunatica points out as she throws a soldier to the ground, while his vessel explodes against the side of a building.
'Jimmy! You almost shredded that guy!' Angel calls out as Jimmy tears a vessel apart, narrowly missing the soldier inside it. Angel soars over to him, when the soldier radios base, asking for reinforcements. Angel sighs, and decides that having Jimmy with them is like X-23 is still here. Skullfire blasts several soldiers and tells Cyclops that his friends have the right idea. 'We need to get out of here – fast!' Cyclops tells him as he fires an optic blast, knocking a vessel out of the air. 'Set this thing down!' Jimmy calls out as he clings to the vessel which blasts through the air, the soldier having re-positioned himself on the seat of the sky-cycle type vessel to pilot it again. The soldier then shakes Jimmy off, and he crashes to the ground, landing with a lout 'UNNF!' When he gets to his feet, Jimmy looks up to see a large holographic statue of the original X-Men, with a sign that reads “honoring the founders”.
Angel drops down beside Jimmy and when he sees the statue he remarks 'That's not something I expected to see'. 'Feathers?' Jimmy asks, referring to the Angel in the statue with feathered wings. 'We have monuments in the future? Are we famous? Did we found a company and strike it rich?' Bobby asks as he ice-slides over, while Bloodstorm flies over with Cyclops and Bloodhawk carries Krystalin over. 'It was more of a hostile takeover' Meanstreak remarks. 'Very hostile Bloodhawk adds. 'I'm still waiting on an answer to the “did we strike it rich?” question' Iceman declares. Marvel Girl, Skullfire, La Lunatica and Metalhead soon arrive, all on the sky-cycle like vessels, and Cyclops asks Jean if she is seeing this. 'I saw it the moment you saw it, Scott. Telepathic bond, remember? But that doesn't mean I understand it' Jean replies through the telepathic link she shares with Cyclops. Jean then goes over to Jimmy and tells him 'See what we did there? This is how you highjack a flying motorcycle'.
Cerebra informs the other X-Men that they took over Alchemax long ago, before they vanished, tore the business down from the inside, rebuilt it and rebranded it with an emphasis on the “X”. 'Tell me Alchemax was an evil company. Tell me our takeover was a good thing' Jean replies. 'Evil company, yes. But as for it being a good thing...' Skullfire begins. 'It might be easier – if we just show you' Cerebra suggests.
Soon, the bright colours and tall buildings are gone, as the X-Men find themselves walking through squalor – shacks and people garbed in rags, huddled around drums of fire. 'What is this place. All these people... what happened here? Some sort of attack?' Jean asks. Skullfire tells her that this wasn't an attack – it was gentrification. Cerebra tells the X-Men that the place they found them was Xavier Greens, and only a small percentage of the population is deemed worthy to live there – the rest are pushed out here, to the Outlands. Cerebra asks the Beast to take a look at his tech, to see if they can get it working again. The Beast tells Cerebra to be his guest, as he is quite lost, and hands her the pad.
'These people...' Jean begins as she looks over at some of the people and notices that they are sick. Krystalin informs her that they are dying – hit hard by a new strain of the Legacy Virus, a disease used to target mutants, and now it wastes anyone unlucky enough to get in the way of making progress. Referring to some cloaked individuals who are standing over the sick, Skullfire calls them the Theatre of Pain and explains that they act as priests these days, performing last rites, getting tweaked on the suffering. 'They don't need to suffer. I can ease their pain' Jean declares as she goes over and uses her psychic powers on a woman and her child, before asking 'Who would do something like this?' 'Alchemax. Working on polices established by... well...' Krystalin starts to reveal, 'By you' Skullfire declares. 'We wouldn't -' Jean begins, while Metalhead informs Skullfire that they could use those meds if he is not too busy playing tour guide. Skullfire pulls out a pack of medication and tells Metalhead to make it last, as it is not much and not enough.
'That's what you were doing... you were stealing medicine' Jean realizes. 'It's all about the haves and the have-nots' Skullfire replies, adding that these days, even the haves only have a little to spare.
The two teams of X-Men come to a stop, taking a rest on a pile of debris, and Bobby asks Scott if he is okay, before adding that she gets it – this isn't how they expected the future to turn out. 'Actually, Bobby – this is exactly what I expected' Scott replies, remarking that ever since they were yanked out of their original timeline, he has been holding his breath in anticipation of something like this. Cerebra then hands the Beast's pad back to him, telling him that it might be an antique, but that it is as good as new. 'But – how? How did you repair it so quickly?' Hank asks. 'It’s the future. We have all the best toys. Stealth cyber gear. Allows a direct connection to -' Cerebra begins, when suddenly, there is a rumbling, and the X-Men are all knocked to the ground.
'We've got trouble! We need to evac the area! Get these people clear!' La Lunatica exclaims as she rushes from a large robot that moves towards them. 'The Onslaught has found us!' she calls out as the large red robot, with images of the original X-Men on its “face” starts blasting away at the derelict buildings. 'This sector is harboring fugitives from Alchemax! All rights are forfeited! Demolition and purging have commenced!' a voice announces. 'Is... is that some sort of future Sentinel? With our faces?' Jean asks, shocked. 'Why not? You left it here to look after your interests!' Meanstreak points out. Energy glows around Skullfire's hands as he announces that they will try to  hold it back, give the civilians time to scurry.
Cerebra tells the Beast that his tech is operational, so he can make his jump, but the Beast tells her that they are not leaving, not while these people are in danger. Cerebra tells the Beast that she is banking on him succeeding, because if they fix whatever went wrong in the timestream, maybe none of this will happen. She then hands him a small chip, and looking at it, the Beast wonders what if they only make it worse, what if coming to the future in the first place, all of the changes they have gone through – he has gone through – has corrupted them beyond repair.
Angel flies through the air, carrying Jimmy, who looks mad and exclaims 'What Alchemax did to these people... get me close to that thing! I'll cut its face off!' 'Yeah... but which face?' Angel asks, looking at the five different faces on the robot. Cyclops and Skullfire blast the robot with their respective energies, while Bobby slides past it on an ice-sled and Metalhead attacks it physically. 'I'll take whichever one I can get!' Jimmy replies 'All right. Any of them – except mine – it is!' Angel replies, while Cyclops wonders what happened to the X-Men, why they would unleash something like this into the world. Bloodhawk flies through the Onslaught Sentinel, while Jimmy slams his claws into the robot's “face”, as the robot announces that Annihilation Protocols are activated – and Jimmy is blasted back by a powerful energy force.
Cerebra tries to use her own powers against the robot, but tells the Beast that she can't stop it, can't control its cybernetic nervous system. 'Let me give it a  shot' Bloodstorm calls out as she hovers mid-air, a storm raging around her, she casts a mighty lightning bolt into the robot, short-circuiting it in spectacular display. 'Really, Scott?' an unimpressed Jean asks telepathically. 'We're in the middle of a fight and you're thinking about how hot Bloodstorm is? Try not to be such a pig, huh?' she snaps at him, while Cyclops tells Jean to try and not read his every thought. However, Bloodstorm soon discovers that despite hitting the robot with everything she has, it is barely slowing the mechanoid down, as it lumbers forward. The heroes continue their assault against the robot, and dodging a blast, Cerebra tells the Beast to activate the device, that his team is surrounded by tachyon fields, so they will be pulled in, too. 'We can't just leave you in the middle of this fight!' the Beast calls out. Cerebra tells him that he can, he has to, and that if they are lucky, they won't get themselves killed, and none of this will have ever happened. The Beast tells Cerebra that she is right, then thanks her, and tells her that, for what it is worth, he is sorry. He then touches his control pad.
Green energy swirls around as the original X-Men, Jimmy and Bloodstorm suddenly re-materialized outside the gates of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. 'What did you do? We can't just leave these people behind! Send us back!' Jimmy exclaims, but the Beast tells him that he can't do that, and adds that, for all they know, there is nothing left of that timeline to go back to. Bobby glances around nervously and asks if they are back where they are supposed to be. 'This is familiar, but -' he begins, before Jean tells him to take a look, and points at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters plaque on the fence. 'We're home' she exclaims. The young mutants open the gates, and Scott asks if they even know what they are looking for, or what they will find. The Beast explains that it is his hope that the source of the distortion will readily reveal itself, and adds that they must tread carefully.
'Remember the last time we returned to this time – we discovered that we were already here' he reminds the others. 'Yeah, that messed with me for weeks' Bobby admits, when suddenly, a voice calls out 'Oi!' and the young mutants turn in shock. 'Uh... maybe I spoke too soon. I don't think we're home at all' Jean remarks. 'Who are you wankers?' the voice calls out again. 'Oh, dear' the Beast, wearing the chip that Cerebra gave him in his ear, utters as the young mutants find themselves confronted by Penance! Husk! Synch! Skin! Jubilee! Chamber! Mondo! M! Collectively known as Generation X!
Jean asks Hank if he has any thoughts, to which Hank remarks that it appears they have arrived at another of those pre-programmed destinations. Bobby smiles and tells everyone not to worry, he has gotb this. He extends his arms to Generation X and calling them fellow Xavier School students, informs them that they are the X-Men. 'We've come from another time in an effort to -' Bobby begins, before M suddenly lunges towards him. 'Eep!' Bobby yelps in fright!

Cross Time Capers, part 3
The Massachusetts Academy, in the dead of night, where Sean “Banshee” Cassidy and Emma Frost the White Queen are in a living room, where Banshee tells Emma that they should contact the other schools, and if they pool their resources – but Emma interrupts him, 'What resources are you talking about?' she enquires, pointing out that they are tapped out. She adds the others – the Braddock Academy, the Hellfire Conservatory and Fitzroy's School – are finding themselves in similar dire straits. Emma smiles at Sean and tells him that she admires him for clinging to the ideals they established for themselves, however unrealistic those ideals might be. 'But it might help if you stop thinking of what we're doing as education. We're not a school so much as a refugee -' Emma begins, when suddenly, the time-displaced (and currently reality-displaced) Bobby “Iceman” Drake is flung through the living room window, courtesty of Generation X's Monet St Croix.
'What -' Banshee begins. 'It's what we've feared. Sooner than expected, but perhaps – the X-Men are here' Emma suggests. However, outside, Bobby's teammates Jean “Marvel Girl” Grey, Scott “Cyclops” Summers, Warren “Angel” Worthington, Henry “Beast” McCoy, Jimmy Hudson and Bloodstorm find themselves up against the rest of Monet's teammates – Jubilee, Angelo “Skin” Espinosa, Everett “Synch” Thomas, Paige “Husk” Guthrie, Penance, Mondo and Jonothon “Chamber” Starsmore. 'You don't understand! We're not your -' the Beast calls out, but Skin wraps his fingers around the Beast, over and over again, restraining him and pulling him back, Skin declares that he has heard it all before, and warns the Beast to stop struggling, otherwise he might hurt him. Penance and Jimmy leap into the air and lash out at each other with their claws, while Marvel Girl blocks a psi-attack that Chamber unleashes upon her.
Husk leaps into the air as Cyclops' optic blast rebounds off of her, Bloodstorm flies away from Jubilee, who blasts some of her light powers towards her, Angel flits around Mondo, who has grown into a massive form, while Synch waits on the sidelines, and Monet flies up towards Angel. 'It would be an accident, of course, but I'd feel terrible about it!' Skin adds. 'Who the hell are these -' Jimmy begins as finds he cannot penetrate Penance's form with his claws. 'They were students just like us! They're kids!' Cyclops calls out as he fires another blast towards Husk, who has shifted to a ruby-quartz form and exclaims 'Who're you calling kid?' Mondo roars 'YEEEOOW!' as Angel burns his hand with his cosmic wings, and Angel tells his teammates that if these guys are Xavier's students, they have been skipping the Professor's long, dry classes on etiquette. 'And suddenly I'm a little jealous' Angel adds.
Marvel Girl points out that they have landed in the wrong time period – again, and announces that she needs backup. Bloodstorm smiles and tells Jean to hang on, as she creates some lightning, then flies up and grabs Chamber. 'What's all this then? Put me down pretty lady... or I'll fry you right out of the sky!' Chamber boasts. Bloodstorm tells Chamber that she is not impressed by idle threats, when suddnely, she is struck by energy, and drops Chamber. 'Nothing “idle” about this! And since I've duplicated your friend's telekinesis, I can play offense and defense for the team' Synch exclaims as he then uses the telekinesis that he has copied to catch the falling Chamber. 'You might want to focus on the latter, pal' Angel suggests as he comes up behind Synch and blasts him with energy from his cosmic wings.
Husk moves closer to Cyclops and punches him in the face, pointing out that it looks like those eyebeams of his are useless against her ruby quartz form, before she slams her fist into his face. 'SCOTT!' Bloodstorm calls out, concerned – and responds by creating a powerful lightning bolt which she slams into Husk. 'Nice show of force. Sadly for you, it means I mmust take you straight off the table' Monet calls out as she flies towards Bloodstorm – who suddenly vanishes in her mist form, causing Monet to crash into the ground. 'Mist. How cute' Monet snarls as she sits up, and Bloodstorm hisses as she re-materializes behind her. 'Don't you hiss at me, you feral little gargoyle!' Monet exclaims, dodging Bloodstorm's attack.
Marvel Girl then uses her telepathy to send a message to all of Generation X, reaching into their minds, she tells them to take a time out, and that she and her teammates didn't come here to fight them. 'All of you – just chill!' she adds, before Jubilee throws some of her “fireworks” at Jean, 'We know why you're here! After everything you've done – you knobs deserve a beatdown!' Jubilee exclaims. Marvel Girl screams, before she kicks Jubilee in the stomach, telling her 'Whoever you think we are, you have no idea who you're messing with!'
Cyclops goes over to Husk and asks her if she is all right. 'What do you care?' Husk replies, raising a fist, but Cyclops blocks her punch. 'I'm right as rain and ready for round -' Husk begins, before Jean knocks her out with a psi-blast. 'I figured I'd help you out before she cleaned your clock again' Jean tells Scott telepathically. 'I wasnt worried about -' Scott begins, but Jean tells him that their psychic rapport says different. Scott then thanks Jean, who reports that she has managed to stun everyone except for Monet and the armored one fighting Jimmy. 'Got her'  Scott declares as he fires a powerful optic blast at Penance, knocking her back. 'Hey! I didn't need the assist!' Jimmy calls out.
Suddenly, there is a powerful sonic scream, which sends Scott and Jean falling backwards, as Banshee and the White Queen appear. Banshee warns them that they might want to choose their net move carefully, as his next sonic scream won't be so cordial. 'Jean! That's -' Scott gasps, while the White Queen suggests that it looks like they have gotten off on the wrong foot, and that theyu should try to right the ship, so to speak. 'Why don't you stand your friends down...so I don't feel compelled to melt your brains to slag. Hmm?' Emma remarks, while nearby, Monet has gotten hold of Bloodstorm, arms wrapped around her neck, she tells Marvel Girl that she does hope they decide to keep fighting.
Scott asks Jean what the call is, and Jean tells him that perhaps they should cooperate. 'That's the White Queen. Y'know, the woman who tried to twist my brain all around' Scott remarks, but Jean points out that she hasn't yet. Jimmy points at Scott and Jean and tells them that they are doing their psychic whisper thing again. The Beast tells Jimmy not to worry, as it when it comes to Jean and Scott, he will get used to bring left out. Looking at his tablet that he has been carrying around, the Beast tells Scott and Jean that if they want his two cents, he thinks they are going to need some time to recalibrate the time panel controls – and he would rather not spend that time fighting if they don't have to.
Jean informs the White Queen that they didn't come for a battle, and in fact didn't mean to come here at all. 'We'll play it your way' she announces. 'Excellent' Emma declares, before snapping her fingers and waking her students from Jean's telepathic attack, she tells them to come along, there is no time to dawdle, as they have guests. 'Well...that's disappointing' Monet mutters as she follows the White Queen. 'You should consider yourself lucky' Bloodstorm calls out. 'My dear – you have no idea' Monet responds. Banshee quietly tells Emma 'Those kids! They look just like -' to which Emma telepathically tells him that she knows, and that he is as curious as he is, but that they should both prepare themselves, because everything they have built here might have reached its ending.
Soon, Banshee and the White Queen sit in a living room with Scott and Jean. Emma tells them to make themselves at home, and that they can try to figure out exactly what is going on here. Banshee suggests to Scott that he has a seat, and assures him that they mean no harm. 'In fact, I'd guess we're a sight more confused about all this than ye are' Banshee adds. Jean telepathically tells Scott that at some point the time platform was programmed to take someone, perhaps them, to this point in history, so maybe they can learn something. Scott tells Jean that he is not quite ready to play nice with the White Queen. Sipping tea, Emma tells the young mutants that they must share some sort of psychic rapport, as she can just hear the faintest hint of it, and she can sense that they don't trust her.
Jean hangs her head, 'Okay' she mutters, before revealing that they are not from aaround here – they are from the future, in fact – actually, the future and the past – but the Timestream is all messed up – badly. 'Jean!' Scott shouts. Jean turns to Scott and asks him what it matters if they tell Banshee and Emma everything. 'If we manage to make things right, this little meeting will probably never happen' she points out. 'Ach! Time travel!' Banshee remarks. Jean continues, explaining that in the future, a few years from now, their friends and teammates started vanishing right before their eyes, almost as if they had been erased, and she thinks they are the only ones who can see it because they are sort of outside of time anyway. Jean then adds that it was Professor Xavier who called them back, he had Magneto build a time platform for them. 'Magneto, you say? Well, that is interesting...seeing as how you killed him' Emma reveals.
Meanwhile, the other X-Men and the members of Generation X are in a large recreation room. 'So...you're, like, a vampire, huh?' Jubilee asks Bloodstorm, blowing a bubble with her gum at the same time. 'That's right' Bloodstorm replies. 'Gross. I hate vampires' Jubilee exclaims, before telling Bloodstorm that she seemed awfully protective of that young hunk of a Cyclops. 'Is he your boyfriend or something?' Jubilee asks, adding that she always thought he and Jean Grey were a thing. 'So good for you, I guess' Jubilee adds. 'I do not wish to discuss this' Bloodstorm mutters, covering her face.
Chamber and Synch are standing away from the others, and Chamber tells his friend that he doesn't like this. 'All our lives, we've been taught that the original X-Men were -' he begins, as Synch interrupts him, telling Chamber that he knows.
'Remember, you weren't the only one to spend time in a mutant training facility before Ms Frost staged her little coup' Synch declares. At the same time, Jimmy and Penance are staring each other down, while Angel goes over to Husk and smiles at her, boasting that he got his flame wings in space. 'But enough about me. Let's talk about that adorable little accent of yours' he suggests, and Paige just smiles back at him. Iceman turns to Monet and asks 'You do realize you kind of sucker punched me, don't you?' to which Monet casually replies that she remembers, and that it was fun.
Skin looks at the pad that the Beast is carrying around and asks 'So, that doohickey can send you through time?' The Beast tells him that it can, although that it seems to be a bit buggy at best. Skin asks him if he can fix it, and glancing at the technology in his ear that he was given in the 2099 time period, the Beast boasts that he believes he can. Suddenly, the Beast looks around the room and remarks that there is something strange about the mansion. 'Well, duh. It's full of kids with nuclear reactors for faces or stretchy flesh or tear-away skin. Of course it's strange. Weird even' Jubilee points out. But the Beast tells her that isn't what he meant, and that when he activated his cerebral implant, he could sense it – there is some kinda of masking technology here. 'It's not real' the Beast adds, and suddenly, the room around them shifts. 'Hey, braih. What do you think you're doing?' Mondo asks, and Iceman scowls at the Beast: 'You just can't help yourself, can you, Hank?'
'Uh... what just happened...?' Jean asks as the room she and the others are in transforms into a cave. 'Did we just jump through time again?' she asks, but Cyclops tells her that he doesn't think so, and remarks that this isn't a mansion, it isn't a school at all. 'Top marks. That's what I've been trying to tell me colleague for some time' the White Queen announces. Banshee looks around the bleak cave and explains that when the last of the X-Resistance fell, they salvaged what they could, and took bits and pieces from the Danger Room, they used what they could. 'To make the best of what we have' Emma smiles, putting her arms around Banshee, whol holds Emma closer. 'Everything you're saying...all this about us killing Magneto... about X-Resistance, whatever that is...' Jean begins. Emma tells her to go ahead, take a peek in her mind. 'I know you want to... although you might regret that decision!'
Emma's mind shows a horrrific battle, where adult versions of the original X-Men are battling the X-Resistance. Polaris, Storm, Shadowcat, Cannonball, Strong Guy, Warpath and others have already fallen, leaving Banshee, the White Queen, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Fitzroy and Captain Britain to continue the fight in a battle-damaged city.
'This is a trick... it's not...' Jean begins. 'It's real. You turned against us. You tried to enslave us' Emma explains, adding that most of them never knew Charles Xavier, but he reached out to some of them, encouraged them to fight. Suddenly, the older Jean within Emma's mind shouts 'Intruders! We have – psychic intruders!' which surprises Jean, wondering how her older self sees them, as this is a memory.
'Jean -' Cyclops begins. Jean looks at Scott and tells him that she thinks she knows what happened, and that they have to get to Hank and get back home. Jean turns to Emma: 'We have to go. I wish...' she begins, before hanging her head, and telling the White Queen and Banshee that she wishes they could stay the same as they are right now. They look back at Jean and Emma points out that nothing ever stays the same, as it is the very nature of mutation, before she and Banshee fade from existence.
At the same time, the Generation X members vanish, too. 'Where did they -' Angel begins. 'It's another paradox. Time is correcting itself around us' Iceman exclaims, while Jimmy declares that this is all wrong. Cyclops and Marvel Girl join their teammates, and Jean calls out to Hank, who tells her that he is way ahead of her. 'One more jump should do the trick' Hank tells his teammates, and as reality warps around them, the young X-Men survey their new surroundings. 'Where are we? Did we make it back to our school? Marvel Girl asks, and as they see themselves battling Magneto, while the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants members lay strewn about the ground, the Beast gasps 'Oh my stars and garters – I think so!'

'What are we looking at here?' Jean Grey a.k.a. Marvel Girl asks as she and her fellow time-lost and reality-displaced teammates look at what appears to be themselves, fighting Magneto, while the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants lay defeated on the ground. Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast tells Jean that he doesn't know, but that it sure looks to be them. 'This can't be real, can it? Jean – I remember this fight' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops tells Jean via their psychic rapport. 'Same here. But not like this. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... they look dead' Jean remarks.
'X-Men! Once more you plague me! But never have you fought so ruthlessly!' Magneto declares, pointing out that his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants is no more, so he asks the X-Men to join him and take their place. 'Together, we can enslave the human race!' Magneto boasts, as the original X-Men stand their ground. 'Did anybody else just get chills? Chills – and that's coming from me. We live in that guy's house, you know' Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman utters, staring ahead at the battle. The others all look concerned, while the Beast points out that a great deal has changed in the years since this encounter.
'We're not joining you, old man! We're taking you down!' the original Angel declares as he flies over to Magneto – but the metal spear he attempts to attack Magneto with shatters against a magnetic force field. Bloodstorm tells her new friends that in her world, Magneto never reformed, that he always pursued his goal of conquest. 'So what world is this?' Jimmy Hudson asks.
'Fool! You dare attack me with a metal weapon?' Magneto shouts at the original Angel, blasting him backwards. The time-displaced Warren Worthington a.k.a. Angel tells his friends that they would not have killed the Brotherhood, it just isn't who they are. 'It's not who we were' Jean corrects him.
Suddenly, Magneto turns as a voice calls out 'Our attacks weren't meant to harm you, Magneto... we only wanted to keep you occupied' declares Charles Xavier as he walks towards the battleground.
'Professor!' Jean exclaims. Magneto hovers over the original X-Men and tells Charles that this is a surprise, and with him on his feet, too. 'Will wonders never cease?' Magneto asks, before enquiring as to whether Charles has come to beg for him to leave homo sapiens to their own devices, or to plead for compassion. 'I assure you, I have none' Magneto announces. Charles points out that times change, and so do ideals, and claims that his dream is altogether different than it once was, but that there is still no place in the new world order for a relic like Magneto.
With the future-tech that was given to him in the year 2099 still in his ear, the Beast picks something up from it, and discovers that is something coming – something honing in on their location.
Charles tells Magneto that they kne he might be a bit much for them to handle, but that they also knew he would only grow more powerful day after day, so if they wanted to kill him, now would be the time. Charles adds that he doubts even Magneto's shields can hold up against what is headed his way. 'Bodsylide. By six' the original Cyclops calls out as, Charles and the other original X-Men vanish. 'Not like this' Magneto exclaims as he starts to surround himself with scraps of metal. The Beast knows that a large missile is headed this way: 'The yield on a missile like that... and we're at ground zero... Magneto's shields... your shields, Jean... won't stop it -' the Beast remarks, before the missile strikes – and there is a massive explosion.
At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, in Westchester, Xavier and the original X-Men stand before a monitor: 'So that's that. Magneto falls down, goes boom' Cyclops remarks. 'Everything falls into place' Angel points out. But viewing footage of the missile attack, Charles tells his X-Men that he wouldn't be so sure, as there was something – he sensed it just before they teleported away, and he thinks they have company. He suggests that they consult Cerebro. With Angel at his side, Charles tells the others that they will be back, and the others should make themselves useful – they can scan all channels. 'I want to make sure Magneto is toast' Charles declares. 'Net time, I get to be Angel' Cyclops remarks, oddly.
'You really think it's them? You think the X-Men have come for us?' Angel asks as he walks alongside Charles Xavier, down a corridor, Charles tells Angel that they are the X-Men, and not to forget that. He adds that he expected a challenge to come along at some point, and sighs. 'Pretenders to the throne. They're the only ones who could possibly stop us now' he remarks, and Angel assures him that they are ready. They arrive at a door that has been boarded up, and Charles begins to pull the boards away, 'Of course. This is our time now' he tells Angel. 'They forfeited any claim they had' he adds, opening the door, they enter a room where another Professor Xavier is strapped to a chair, Cerebro on his head, he appears in some sort of blank state. 'But I think the good Professor here might be playing games with us' the other Charles remarks.
'But how? The Cerebro unit we built... it keeps him under our control' Angel points out, adding that they would be alerted to so much as a stray daydream. The walking Charles leans into the other Professor and declares that he is a crafty one, and that even with all the restrictions they have placed on him, he has found a way to call his perfect little X-Men home – a valiant effort. 'A wasted effort, you mean' Angel remarks. 'Well, naturally' Charles agrees, and explains that if he has found a way to contact their time-lost counterparts, then he has only brought them back to die.
'Where are we?' one of the time-lost X-Men asks as they find themselves in some strange glowing green realm with Magneto. 'What did you do, Hank?' Marvel Girl asks. The Beast declares that he pulled them out of the blast zone in the nick of time, but didn't really have time to consider where they should go, and so he just routed them into a place between space and time, for now, of course. 'So where nowhere and nowhen' Angel remarks. 'Precisely' the Beast confirms. 'And you felt like it was a good idea – to bring evil Magneto along' Angel points out.
'What trickery is this? You look like the X-Men but you are different!' Magneto exclaims, asking them who they are – allies or enemies. 'That's... uh... a complicated question' Jean tells him, supposing that they have been a little of both, and telling him that for right now, they are on the same side.
Magneto looks up: 'And this... what I am seeing... must be the totality of time!' he exclaims. The X-Men look around them and see several different scenes playing out – The original X-Men fighting Magneto, Magneto and Charles meeting Gabrielle Haller, Quentin Quire with the power of the Phoenix Force, Weapon X hunted by soldiers, Apocalypse and his Horsemen – Havok, Maggott, Bloodstorm and Daken, a photograph of the original X-Men and several from the Age of Apocalypse – Blink, Sabretooth, Gambit, Morph and Nightcrawler. 'Such power. With this at my command, I could so easily conquer mankind' Magneto declares, adding that he could ensure that mutants rise to their destined place of power. 'Don't be an idiot' Jean fumes. Angel and Jimmy both look at each other – their thoughts are the same: 'Jean's going to get us into a fight with Magneto, isn't she?'
Magneto points at Marvel Girl and tells her to have a care. 'I will not be spoken to -' he begins, but Jean interrupts him, pointing back, she tells Magneto that she isn't sure if he noticed it or not, but they just saved his life. 'So don't threaten me... or I'll toss you right out there into the void and you can see how well you fare out there in the Timestream' Jean warns him. 'Jean's going to get us into a fight with Magneto, isn't she?' Bloodstorm and Cyclops think in unison.
Jean picks up on Scott's thoughts and tells him to shut it, that she knows what she is doing – sort of. 'It was you who sent us back in time, Magneto. You and Professor X. Not because of some bid to take over the world, but because you needed us to fix whatever mess we're in'.
'Sent you... back? Somehow... you're from the future. In a future in which I work alongside the X-Men' Magneto remarks, asking if Charles has finally come to see things his way. 'Whatever you need to think, that's fine' Jean tells him, explaining that all of reality is starting to crumble – everything that happens in the future. 'So why don't you start by explaining to me what we just saw. We... the X-Men... were trying to kill you' Jean points out. 'So it would seem' Magneto replies, reminding the X-Men that they have faced in battle before – but that in recent weeks they have become much more pitiless in their tactics. 'This time, you staged a preemptive strike, murdering my Brotherhood without hesitation' Magneto reports. 'Could this mean – previously, when we visited the past... we saw that we had already returned. If that was really us, then something has changed... something that has upset all of time. We came back... different' the Beast tells his teammates.
'No kidding, Hank!' Bobby snaps. 'Of course we got all screwed up! That's what going to the future does to you... especially if, when you're in the future, you start hanging around with... well...' Bobby's voice trails off as he points to Magneto. Angel tells the others that he has accepted the world is going to hell – he just never thought they would be the ones holding the pitchforks. 'Why not? If Magneto can change, why can't we?' Cyclops points out. Angel tells his teammates that they have been assuming that they are never going back to their original time – as they saw those other X-Men were already here, and they assumed they had gotten a free pass to the future. 'That... was stupid on our part' Angel admits. Jean tells her friends that they have all wondered how their time in the future might change the past, and suggests thaty they have been forgetting that they have changed, also.
'Not like this, though' Cyclops remarks, adding that whatever is happening, they are not killers. 'We're not trying to use our knowledge of the future to – what – take over the world?' Magneto tells the young mutants that if he were guiding them, he would encourage them to do so. 'you're not helping' Cyclops mutters. Jean tells everyone to hold on, and suggests that even if they came back as some sort of mirror versions of themselves, they can all agree that they must figure out how to stop “themselves”. She asks Hank if they could just use the time machine to go back to a time right after they left in the first place, and fix everything before it ever really gets broken. Hank looks at his tech-pad that he has been carrying around and tells Jean that, for all they know, that is exactly what they have done – that could be what changes them in the first place. He adds that he is sorry if that is confusing, but that is how a paradox works.
'That settles it, then. We need to do something – here and now' Jean exclaims. She turns to Magneto and asks him what he says: 'Do you want to help us take down the X-Men?' Magneto smiles and replies 'Young lady – do you really need to ask?'
'We'll, X-Men... we're home' the Beast remarks as the team and Magneto are teleported into the X-Mansion. Magneto surveys his new surroundings, but Jean warns him to tread lightly, as this place means something. 'I've been here before' Magneto snaps. 'I remember. You freaked me out a little then, too' Cyclops admits. Suddenly, a voice calls out 'Don't worry. He will not be staying long. None of you will be'. The X-Men look over and see Charles Xavier standing with the other original X-Men. 'You shouldn't have come back. You no longer belong here' Charles tells the time-displaced X-Men. 'Professor X? But you called us back. You brought us back because you needed our help!' Jean exclaims, while her teammates and Magneto watch Professor X carefully.
Professor X walks closer to Magneto, and tells the X-Men that they came running – and they are already here. 'I don't know who they are... but they're not the X-Men!' Cyclops suddenly shouts. 'Wanna bet, pretty boy?' the original Cyclops snaps back, as the two teams suddenly engage in battle. 'Professor... what's happened to you? What's happened to us? Why are you doing this?' Jean asks as she hovers before Charles, who tells her that he grows tired of her asking their question. He then suggests Jean dispense with her psychic assault, for although she is quite a bit more powerful than she was the last time they met, she will never be a match for him. Cyclops fires a powerful optic blast that knocks back the original Cyclops, while both Beasts lunge at each other, and both Angels fly towards each other. Both Icemans have transformed into large ice-creatures, while Jimmy Hudson and Bloodstorm challenge the original Marvel Girl.
Magneto hovers above the battle, and tells Charles that these X-Men did not come alone. 'It would seem you have forgotten the true might of the Master of -' Magneto begins, before he screams in agony. 'Who?' he calls out as he drops to the ground, and a mysterious figure appears behind him. 'Oh, no. I should have known' Jean utters. 'Is that -' Cyclops begins, as Charles begins to change form, declaring that they no longer need these disguises. 'You might as well know whom you're dealing with – Charles Xavier is actually his son, Charles Xavier II, and behind him appears Xorn a.k.a. Jean Grey, as the original X-Men's disguises fall, too – Old Man Deadpool, Ice-Thing, Bruiser, Raze and Beast stand beside their leader. Charles Xavier II tells the X-Men that he is sorry, but that they have yielded their claim on this timeline – and now the Brotherhood will shape the course of mutant history!
