Forging the Sword - part 4: Hard Rain
Wicked and Freakshow stand in Hammer Bay, the capital of Genosha. The two mutants look toward the sky and see Magistrates, who seem to be on a mission to destroy their island. Wicked tells Freakshow that it is not fair, because this is their island now. Freakshow tells Wicked that they are Magistrates, its their job to enslave mutants are kill them!
Luckily for them, the mutant named Callisto is not far away. Bounding via own her tentacles, she swiftly grasps the two teen mutants and saves them from a warring Magistrate. Callisto warns them that they are standing on killing grounds and, if they want to stay alive, they need to develop better survival skills. She tells them that the first lesson is to leave the combat to trained professionals. Unsheathing three knives from her holster, she hurls them at the oncoming Magistrate. Both Wicked and Freakshow look at each other in amazement, as the stabbed Magistrate falls.
At that moment, six other mutants enter the fray. It’s Unus’ gang and they're out for blood. Unus blasts a rifle, commanding the other mutants to make the Magistrates pay. His green-skinned ally jumps into the fire first. Grabbing a frightened Magistrate, the lizard man chomps down with his teeth on the man, effectively killing him. He is not the only one of Unus' allies to help in the fight, as Toad-in-Waiting quickly risks his life to save two frighten children. Shocker helps out too, as he uses his powers to take out a nearby Magistrate.
There are other mutants on the island and one of them named Purge helps out as well. Jumping on top of one of the armored Magistrates, he uses his mutant powers of strength and agility to easily take care of the Magistrate and his friends. As he fights, so do the others, save for Xavier's brood. The three watch the mutant named Purge and comment on his cocky attitude. Purge comes near the three and waves as he fights. Wicked comes close to being hit by a stray blast from one of the Magistrates guns. She ducks for cover, as Freakshow looks to the sky and wonders about the new female mutant that is attacking the Magistrates.
The mutant’s name is Hub. She teleports a backpack off of one of the Magistrates backs and watches him fall to the ground. Hub tells the fallen Magistrate that, if they have come back to Genosha, they have come back to die! Hack appears mentally to Hub and tells her that Chimère has ordered them to stop fighting. Hub teleports close to Purge to tell him that Chimère has ordered them away. Purge, in the process of beating the Magistrate senseless, tells Hub that Chimère is boss. Hub teleports the two of them away but, before they leave, she tells Purge that Chimère is wrong. Nearby, Wicked wonders where Purge and Hub went to? Callisto tells them that it seems the mutants had better things to do and so do they. Freakshow questions why they are running away, while Wicked questions where Xavier and Magneto can be found.
In the waters near Hammer's Bay, Magneto and Xavier swim to find the cocoon that contains Karima Shapandar, an Omega Sentinel in waiting. Conversing telepathically, Magneto questions Xavier as to why they are not fighting the Magistrates above and investigate the cocoon at their leisure? Xavier, not knowing that Karima is in the cocoon, speculates that the object is somehow connected to an Omega Sentinel. Magneto looks to Xavier, teasing him about his X-Men’s fixation on cocoons. Magneto tells Xavier that, seriously, he should think about the untrained mutants above them taking on a cadre of trained Magistrates. Xavier tells Magneto that is point is well taken; he is monitoring the situation telepathically and if they are needed…
Callisto, Wicked, and Freakshow run from the Magistrates. Callisto tells the others that she wants to know what is so important about the cocoon that the Magistrates would start a small war to retrieve.While Callisto turns to fight a nearby attacker, Wicked worries for Callisto’s safety and sends her spirits to protect her. There were 16 million people that died of Genosha recently and every one of their spirits is at Wicked’s command. Freakshow is not powerless either, a Megamorph with the ability to change form and take on the powers of whatever shape he chooses, easily takes on an attacker of his own. Still in his alternate form, Freakshow tells the others that he has found the thing their attackers are looking for. With that said, Unus’ green-skinned ally is hurled by a Magistrate into Freakshow, sending both mutants to the ground.
Close by, Unus himself is being attacked by three Magistrates, who are wielding sonic guns, making Unus writhe in pain. When Wicked asks Callisto how Unus can be hurt through his force field, Callisto tells the teenager that the Magistrates have gotten creative, just like Xavier did to Unus earlier. Grabbing Wicked, Callisto and her charge seek shelter, as the same Magistrates turn on them. Freakshow nears the cocoon and tells Callisto and Wicked that someone either good or evil has tried to break free the captive in the cocoon.
An armored Magistrate sees Freakshow nearing their prize and opens fire on a nearby building, collapsing it towards both the cocoon and Freakshow. Swiftly, Freakshow presses buttons on the cocoon. Callisto wraps her tentacles around Wicked and asks if her spirits can stop the falling building. Wicked tells Callisto that she does not know. Suddenly, everyone stands shocked as the building stops falling. The once-captive mutant of the cocoon steps forward; his name is Shola and he is a mutant telekinetic with the power to move things with his mind.
When Magneto asks Xavier how things are going topside, Xavier tells Magneto that things are turning for the better. Xavier then tells Magneto that they have found an ally in one cocoon; maybe they'll find another in this one. The cocoon opens and Karima, the Omega Sentinel, steps out. Magneto tells Xavier that his nightmare is coming true. Magneto uses his powers to take out Karima before she can do any harm. A headache passes over Magneto and Xavier worries aloud if his friend is okay. Erik tells Xavier that his stamina is not what it used to be.
Magneto nears Karima, telling Xavier that he has enough strength to finish the job, but Xavier screams no! Magneto warns Xavier not to be a fool, but Xavier replies that the two of them can save her. Erik tells Xavier that the longer the two of them debate, the sooner their Omega Sentinel will awaken. Xavier tells Erik that his powers stopped Karima’s transformation just in time, because her soul and mind are still hers. Magneto accusingly points his finger towards Xavier, telling him that he is a dreamer and she is a lost cause. Xavier tells Magneto that if he had a dollar for every time that has been said about Wolverine or Magneto himself… Erik interrupts, saying that Xavier is an idealist.
Xavier pushes Erik away, telling him that he is now angry. Xavier tells Erik that what this is about is people like John Sublime, Cassandra Nova, Xorn, Onslaught, Apocalypse, Sinister and Bastion all his adversaries that thought his soul was for the taking just to hurt his students, his children! Xavier holds his finned-clinched hand towards, Erik telling him that today it ends with this woman. After Erik asks if Xavier is serious, Xavier replies that he is. Magneto and Xavier shake hands, Erik telling Xavier that she’ll have a better chance if the two of them work together.
When Erik asks Xavier if he has any ideas about how to save Karima, Xavier explains that an Omega Sentinel is made from nannites, whose task is to rebuild her body on a cellular and genetic structure. He goes on to explain that nannites rewire the organs of their host body, taking over their life functions, including their brain. Erik asks if they can purge the nannites from Karima’s body and Xavier tells Erik that the hardware modifications are too advanced, they cannot change her body back. Erik explains that they will change her brain back instead. After Xavier asks Erik what he is doing, Erik tells Xavier that he'll use his powers to create a picture of Karima's brain. Xavier explains that, with E.M.P. bursts to her brain, they can reboot Karima’s system to its original settings, which means Karima's original personality. When Xavier tells Magneto that his telepathy will provide an anchor for all that his human in Karima, Erik exclaims that his magnetism will destroy the invading application software.
Erik goes on to say that, since computers read in magnetically encoded ones and zeros, it will be simple for him to rearrange the codes. Magneto asks Xavier what he thinks? Xavier tells Erik that the operation looks clean. Magneto warns Xavier that he is releasing his hold on Karima's internal systems and Xavier replies that he is releasing his hold on her psyche as well. With that said, Karima awakes. Frightened, she lashes out against her two would-be saviors. Realizing that her body has changed, she rushes to the surface, screaming and questioning about what has happened to her.
Around the same moment, in Hammers Bay, Callisto is being hurled through the sky by a Magistrate. Using her tentacles to slow her momentum, she grasps debris and hurls it back at her attackers. In-flight, Callisto tries to mentally contact Xavier, to ask him for help. Shola, Freakshow and Wicked all stand together, as Callisto joins them. Shola asks where he is and why he is not in Chicago anymore? Callisto looks to the sky and tells Shola to ask the handful of armored Magistrates nearing them. Turning to Shola, Callisto asks if he can fight. Shola replies that he can barely stand. Callisto's tentacles rise in a protective shield around the mutant teenagers behind her, telling them that it is up to her then. Suddenly, the sky fills with electricity and Callisto warns her charges to get down! The lightning is not attacking them; it is attacking the Magistrates. Karima appears in the sky, as electricity is shown coming from her. On the ground, one of the teenagers asks aloud who she is. Callisto replies that, whoever she is, at least she is on their side.
Later that day, in Xavier and Magneto’s hide out, Unus the Untouchable tells Xavier that he will hand the Magistrates over to him! Behind Unus stands his cadre of loyal mutants, along with Hub. Xavier tells Unus that their captives will be treated according to the Geneva protocols, dealing with them accordingly. Unus tells “Chuck” that there is no law in Genosha. Xavier tells Unus that he will be the first to establish some and asks him if he has a problem with that. Behind Xavier, from left to right stands Magneto, Wicked, Freakshow, Karima, Shola and Callisto, all of them looking like they mean business. Unus steps back in fear saying nothing.
After they leave, Xavier meets Magneto on their balcony. When Xavier asks Magneto why Unus did not recognize him, Erik replies that many nowadays do not. Erik tells Xavier that he can make all the announcements he wants about laws, but he needs to be strong enough in spirit to enforce them, making him no better than a bully like Unus. Callisto leans in the doorway of the balcony and replies, “or a bully like Magneto?” Magneto agrees with her statement. Erik replies that a benevolent despot with power will be ultimately corrupted. Magneto tells Xavier that, even though he is chiding his friend, he probably just is jealous that he cannot inspire young mutants like Xavier can. Xavier tells Magneto that he cannot inspire them alone.
Turning back to the mutants that have allied themselves with him, Xavier tells them that today he and Magneto saved someone together. He goes on to say that, by working together, the seven of them may be able to save the nation. Xavier asks them if they will help him.

Food Fight - part 1
A truck filled with explosives drives down the streets of Mumbai, India, its destination the local X-Corp headquarters. A troll is the driver. After arriving at its destination and parking in the garage, located underneath the skyscraper, the troll states that the final weapon is placed and primed for simultaneous detonation so his allies can, now, transport him away. With a “zzzamp” of electricity the Troll is gone, while outside the Headquarters terror ensues as an explosion rocks the building to the ground.
In Hammer Bay, Genosha, the explosion is felt by Charles Xavier, through his telepathy, causing him to awaken. Pulling himself up, by means of a bar overhead his bed, he lifts himself into his ATV wheelchair. Xavier thinks about how all electronics on Genosha quickly degrade due to, possibly, Magneto’s power over Magnetism, how long his ATV wheelchair will last. Wheeling himself outside, near the pool, Xavier concentrates on the disaster that had awaken him from his slumber.
Projecting his astral self across the ocean, he immediately arrives in Mumbai, by the side of an X-Corp member named Sabra. Sabra tells him that the bomb was meant to take out the local Cerebra, which it did, but it is a miracle the casualties are minimal. Changing direction, Charles asks Monet, another X-Corp member, who is responsible. She tells him that, right now, his guess is as good as hers. Back on Genosha, Xavier holds his head in thought, as he realizes that, without the Cerebra in Mumbai, the outside world has no way of knowing what is transpiring on Genosha.
Quickly, back in Mumbai, the Professor finds Thunderbird, the leader of the local X-Corp branch, as he senses Neal’s worry. Neal tells Xavier that it is Lifeguard he is frantic about, as she sensed the attack moments before and flew out trying to stop it. Xavier, sweating, tells Neal that he will act as a psychic beacon pointing a path to her. When Neal asks Xavier why he is sweating, Xavier calms his worries, thinking to himself about how much of a liar he is, but he knows the X-Men must transcend their limitations daily to save lives, so their mentor must not do any less.
Xavier’s astral form travels near Lifeguard, who is trapped under heaps of rubble. She chides herself for nicknaming herself Lifeguard, as she is the one needing saving. Xavier tells her to have faith, as she will not be there long. Neal Sharra gets closer to Lifeguard, allowing his body to glow with power to act as a light in finding her. Once upon arrival, Xavier watches the two of them and thinks about how much he wishes he would have gotten to know the two of them better. After climbing from the rubble, he thinks about the past, about his original five students, then he remembers the present and how his student body, now, consists of hundreds.
Xavier asks Neal if he is going to rebuild. Neal tells him that, after New York’s incident, Purity is the most popular website on the Internet, but what hurts mutants the most is that their mentor has chosen to flee to Genosha, leaving them without their shepherd. Xavier tells Neal that he hopes that he can trust him, knowing that he has gone to Genosha for a good reason. Thunderbird, carrying Lifeguard and walking away, tells Xavier that trust cannot survive in an emptiness so in order for mutants to trust him, he must learn to let his students in on his secrets.
(Xavier’s Thoughts)
Xavier thinks of the past, about how he has always been a secretive person. He remembers going on a talk show called World Beat, announcing his support for mutants, but not the fact he was a mutant as well. Also, he remembers starting his X-Men as a surreptitious group. He thinks about how he could reveal to them that he is working with one of their greatest enemies to try and save a nation. Xavier ponders about the true threat to Genosha and feminine eyes grace his thoughts. Turning to fire, the eyes seem to taunt Charles, until he delves deeper and finds a Sinister appearance under them.
(present)
Xavier’s glass world shatters, sending him back to the physical world, hurling his ATV wheelchair to the ground. Xavier hears a voice; the voice tells him that he should have learned his lesson, so now it is going to cost him. He begins to scream MURDER, as he looks up to see a grey crow looming above him. Callisto hears Xavier’s cry and jumps from her nearby location, to apparently save him, bursting Xavier’s hallucination as she falls. Callisto picks Xavier up and sets right his wheelchair, she tells him that with his yelling he could make any girl assume the worst.
The two allies, being pelted by a hard downpour of rain, discuss what has happened on Mumbai. Xavier tells her that somebody has crippled the X-Corp operation along the entire coast, but as he got closer to the source he heard a voice and witnessed a grey crow. Angered, Callisto hurls her daggers into a nearby wall. She asks him if he means John Greycrow a.k.a. Scalphunter, the butcher of her Morlocks? The daggers, in the wall, have made a sketch of Greycrow’s head. Callisto announces that it was he who slaughtered the Morlocks, in what was then considered a “Mutant Massacre.” Callisto takes three more daggers, hurling them into the sketch of Greycrow’s eyes and forehead.
She tells Xavier, she hopes that he understands what she will do if the two of them ever cross paths. Xavier asks Callisto if his approval would even matter? Questioning, she asks if he wants Sinister and the Marauders to pay for what they have done. He tells her of course he does, that he could turn them all off with just a thought. Callisto tells Xavier that he needs to start concentrating, while she breaks open the Champagne. Xavier tells her that, with his powers, he could bring about an Apocalypse, but mutants everywhere need to learn to tame the beast within them all, if they are truly to become more civilized, before they become extinct. He goes on to say that they are trying to set a standard for the world, because out in the darkness, that surrounds them, is what awaits them if they fail.
Shola is a man that runs as if possessed, because he is actually possessed. On the day the sixteen million Genoshans died, each one left their last moments burned into his mind. He runs through the streets hallucinating about a few of their deaths at the hands of the three headed – gigantic – killing Sentinel. He runs till he reaches his intended destination, chanting the word “NO,” where he fires a telekinetic blast straight through the chest of the once killing Sentinel, now monument to Charles Xavier and Magneto. Inside the monument, Unus and two of his other comrades wake up and wonder if they are under attack.
A jet plane, radios back to its headquarters that he has just witnessed a sighting on Genosha. He tells them to get him a full telemetry reading so he can know what to say to the president.
On the nearby coast of India, Lifeguard and Thunderbird discuss what the sighting could mean to other mutants around the globe, as well as the hysteria it will cause baseline humans once they find out.
Back on Genosha, Shola collapses from exhaustion, mumbling the word “no!” Wicked had been close by when the blast occurred, rushing off to check on its source. She finds Shola lying on he ground. She pulls his face out of the puddle of water it had landed in, holding his head in her lap. Around her, her specters get close to her, as if mourning for the trials the boy seems to be suffering from. A Troll’s hand grabs the forehead of Wicked, even before her specters can do anything about, though they do try. She is then sedated by some form of injection, causing the ghosts to disappear. Shola, who is already unconscious, is more easy prey for the Trolls, as they inject him with the same sedative.
Back at their hideout, Xavier announces that he has lost telepathic contact with both Shola and Wicked; it seems the island is under attack. Callisto, shockingly, kisses Xavier and stuffs weapons into the seat of Xavier’s boxers. She tells him to follow her lead, because they may search her, but not a “gimp.” Suddenly, the two mutants are pelted with darts containing the same sedative as Shola and Wicked were administered. Callisto tells Xavier that her arms won’t work, as he states his telepathy seems to be blocked as well. The two crash to the rain-soaked ground, helpless against their attackers.
Inside Karima’s room of the hideout, Magneto reads to her a book. Karima states a fact about how the book is old, since one of its stories takes place in India, but the location belongs to Pakistan, now. Erik tells her that a lot of things have changed since Kipling. With a loud explosion, a nearby dresser is thrown from the wall. Magneto warns Karima not to act now, as she is about to transform her arm into a gun. Trolls come from the wall, as Erik questions them on who they are and what they are doing. A man called Stripmine is amidst the creatures, and he tells Erik and Karima to behave so they are not hurt. He next commands the Trolls to search Genosha, as it is a treasure trove and they are there to strip it clean!

Food Fight - part 2
Charles Xavier, Callisto, Wicked, Shola, Karima and Magneto all are being held captive. Their captors are a man they call Stripmine, a woman who is called Appraiser, and a handful of Trolls from the Norse realm of Asgard.
Stripmine seems worried, asking Appraiser what their status is at the moment. She tells him that their “bootay” is “spazzed.” Talking more plainly, she tells him that the nannites they injected into their mutant prey are working perfectly in rendering their powers inactive. Stripmine is glad to hear the information that Appraiser presented him. He does not waste time in continuing on with his questions, as he next turns his attention towards the Omega Sentinel of the group, Karima Shapandar. Appraiser has two of the Asgardian Trolls bring the mutant-cyborg closer to them.
Erik, now calling himself Michael Xavier, announces to the two “pirates” that they would be smart not to harm his charge. Stripmine walks closer to his attacker, brandishing his scabbard; he tells Michael that he should not play at being a hero!  Michael has to stand on his toes, so that the blade does not pierce his skin under his jaw. He tells Stripmine that the woman is under his care, so he does not want to see her come to harm. Stripmine’s incandescent green eyes glare at his unknown captive. He tells Michael that if he wants to have a future he will not provide him anymore grief, as he has no say so in the matter of Karima.
Appraiser helps their captives out by explaining who they are. She tells them that her mutant ability allows her to visualize what their true value is worth, as well as giving her knowledge of what their powers are. She goes on to explain that Stripmine is their boss and the Trolls are their muscle. Finishing her introductions, Appraiser focuses her powers on Karima. Instantly, Appraiser produces a holographic image of Karima’s Omega Sentinel parts. It seems Karima’s entire lower leg area is nothing but Sentinel parts, as well as the back of her torso, her hands and wrist area, her shoulders, and most notably parts of her brain. Karima looks horrified, as she realizes what has happened to her body. Appraiser, though, does not seem to care as she begins to spout off about how unique Karima’s mechanical make-up has become.
Beginning to be angered, the Appraiser realizes that Karima’s internal systems will not let her go any further. Angered, Appraiser lashes out at Karima, telling her that she will bring them just as much money as scrap-metal. Appraiser walks away in a tantrum towards a nearby counter, where she proceeds to lay down, belly first. Grabbing a beer can, she sits up, continuing to complain about their situation. She rants about the insanity of the island. Addressing Stripmine, she explains to him that all the technological devices on the island degrade quickly, thanks to some king of magnetic disturbance. Pulling the tab on the beer can, it bursts into the air and she slurps down the remaining liquid.
As she does so, she finishes her rant telling Stripmine that their timetable has just gotten a lot shorter. Stripmine questions the Appraiser, as Karima is in-effect a machine, but she has not begun to degrade? Appraiser explains that Karima has been integrated with technology on a genetic level, making her a mutant Sentinel, which somehow gives her immunity to the islands curse. Stripmine, questioning more, asks her about their scanners. She declares that he is looking at them; she and the Trolls are the only scanning equipment they have left!
Nearby, Callisto tells the others that their captors do not look so happy. Michael tells her that it does not seem their caper is going as expected. Callisto warns Michael that they did have the nerve to capture them! Changing her attention from Michael, she questions Charles on how he is doing. Charles explains that he is doing fine, considering his mind feels like someone has ripped it out. Michael teases his friend by telling him that the world can live without his all-seeing eyes, at least for a little while. Callisto, sitting between the two allies, asks them if they have a plan?
Stripmine asks Appraiser what her problem is. Appraiser explains that Karima is an Omega Sentinel, which means she should be dead. Crushing the can that is in her hand, she tells him that it seems her programming has been reconfigured down to the core, giving her mind back its original moral center and character. Stripmine seems unconvinced, as he asks her if that is even possible? She answers him, saying that an hour ago she would have said “no,” but now she thinks they need to just tear the Sentinel apart to sell her as scrap. Stripmine agrees, telling her that they can make enough money off of the rest of their captives, as he already has buyers awaiting them.
Appraiser turns her attention to Michael Xavier, asking Stripmine what they are going to do about him? He tells her that it is up to her to figure out his powers, calling her “precious.” Interrupting their conversation, one of the Asgardian Trolls tells them that they have company.
Unus steps into the room and asks if everything is going according to plan. Appraiser tells him that it is, but with no thanks to him. Unus tells her that the deal was, if they eliminated his competition he would not get in the way. Xavier screams out in anger Unus’ name. He turns his attention to Charles, asking if he thought that his team would just get away with humiliating him? Charles states that the number of residents in Genosha is small and, if he allows Stripmine’s crew to rob them, some might not survive. Unus points his thumb towards himself, exclaiming that he believes in the philosophy of survival of the fittest.
Going down the line, Unus tells Callisto that if the fittest claim allegiance to him they can survive. She tells him that she is already spoken for. Next, Unus approaches Michael Xavier. Unus glares at Magneto, but can’t seem to place him. He asks Michael if they have ever met? Michael tells him that it is possible, but unlikely. Horrifically for Unus, his attention is averted elsewhere, as he comes to the realization that Freakshow is nowhere to be found. Unus asks Stripmine’s crew why Freakshow is not a prisoner?
Elsewhere, the young mutant named Freakshow runs scared through the streets of Genosha. Behind him are two Asgardian Trolls, both carrying guns that fire projectile darts filled with nannites. One of them shoots towards the boy and his dart seems to shoot true, as Freakshow falls to the ground. Speaking in Norse slang, the Troll tells the other that he wonders what all the fuss was about concerning this mutant? Suddenly, a fifteen foot tall monster appears before them. Dragon-like in appearance, it shoots a blast of fire from its mouth directed at its pursuers.
One of the Trolls berates the other for its apparent neglect to hit its target. The Troll picks up a nearby car and hurls it at Freakshow. Freakshow blasts the car with a fiery burst, transforming next into a gigantic bird-like creature. The other Troll questions if this creature could be another mutant besides the one they were hunting? He tells the other that it can’t be so, as this creature and the boy share the same scent. With that said, Freakshow lets loose an attack of spiny dart like feathers from his winged body, directed towards his attackers.
Grabbing them up with his clawed foot, Freakshow begins to fly off with them. One of the Trolls acts quickly, grabbing his gun he shoots a handful of shots into the chest area of the mutant shape shifter. Freakshow falls to the ground, transforming back to his human appearance. The two Trolls attack their prey, but luckily the boy has had just enough time to transform into another creature, this one with granite-like skin. A giant upper cut later the two Trolls lie on the ground, as Freakshow runs from them scared. One of the Trolls says to the other that their attack could have gone better. The other exclaims that they were able to shoot him and that is all that matters, as eventually the nannites will work their way through his armored skin.
A Troll picks up a nearby doll, telling the other that he is going to keep it as a souvenir.  Both Trolls turn at once to face a new mutant. This one’s name is Hub, who is surprised by their quick reflexes and the fact they caught her. She teleports away to safety just before the two Trolls may attack. Smirking, the two Trolls comment on how foolish mortals are, but luckily for the young girl she was one of Unus’ team, meaning she is off limits.
Hub reappears near her two comrades, Hack and Purge. Purge screams his partner’s name, as he hears her cry of fear. The young girl collapses into Purge’s strong arms. Shaking, she tells them that the Trolls almost had her. Hack teases her, saying that the Trolls thought she was one of Unus’ stooges and would have never attacker her. Angered, Hub begins to lash out at Hack for his inability to inform her of the Trolls thoughts earlier. Luckily, Purge steps between them, stating that the three of them are friends. Hub announces to the others that Stripmine must be stopped, as he poses an immediate danger for their island. Hack denounces her statement informing her that Chimère has told him that they are not to intercede on the behalf of Xavier, since his defeat would take another competitor out of the picture. Hack replies that the “plan” is more important.
Now adorning mechanical necklaces that inhibit their thought processes, Xavier’s team is sent through dreams involving their most wanted circumstances. Magneto dreams of coming home to his daughter, Anya, who quickly runs into his arms shouting her love for her father and a wife that comes soon after named Magda. Xavier is reunited with his first love, Moira; the two dance by a sliding glass door. Outside the door, a distraught apparition of the woman he first loved bangs on the glass and demands him to wake from his dream!
In Callisto’s dream she sees herself posing for Piotr Rasputin, whom she believes to be a great artist and hero that passed away before his time. The two sit in front of a fireplace, as her evening gown seems to dip low around her chest.  As for Wicked, she sees a clawed and furry hand caressing her dark hair, as she sleeps soundly in her bed, holding tight to her werewolf doll. The mutant that caresses her states that he has just given her an extraordinary present for an exceptional kid.
Appraiser is almost finished, placing the necklaces on their captives. She has all but one left before she is through. His name is Shola and, for him, dreaming is a curse - and as Appraiser finds to her horror, his curse can prove to be disastrous to those nearest him. Shola screams “NO,” as a large wave of telekinetic energy is released from his body. His captors go sailing into the air. Unus is the first to get up, telling the others that they are idiots for letting the nannites wear off!  Unus tackles Shola and the two mutants go flying into the nearby pool. Appraiser tries to get up, but as if by irony a rock falls onto her head knocking her, once again unconscious.
Awakening, the captives realize what is transpiring and they make plans to try and escape, even though their powers are still inactive. A nearby Troll has other plans, grasping Callisto in a headlock. Even though they are without their powers, the three senior member of the team are still not without their resources. Xavier acts quickly, by using a nearby stick to temporarily knock the troll off balance, giving Magneto seconds to intercede using his fist to incapacitate their attacker. Magneto rubs his wrist, telling the others that it felt good to hit something.
Xavier calls Magneto Erik, telling him to take the weapons that Callisto had stashed in his boxers. Callisto tells him to carry Wicked, while she carries Charles. Erik tells the others that they need to call him Michael, because he wants to keep his “secret identity!” Callisto and Xavier shoot Michael a confused look and the captives begin their escape. They do not get far when another Troll tackles the Xavier carrying Callisto to the ground.
With a large crash to the ground, the combatants waste no time in dealing with one another. Callisto can’t use her arms, due to the Nannites control over her mutant abilities, but her other extremities are still working. Using her head and feet, she takes out her attacker. Unlucky for Callisto, the attacker happens to fall on top of her, leaving her pinned to the ground. Michael rushes over to her side. He asks Charles how they are doing? Snapping back, Charles asks his “cousin” how do they look like they are doing? Michael hoists the fallen Troll from atop Callisto’s body telling her that he is quite impressed with her performance.
Just then two more Trolls come sailing towards them, the two seem to have been thrown from the pool-side by one of Shola’s telekinetic blasts. Michael states that Shola is fighting well. Charles warns them that they should not stick around to see if his belief in Shola holds true.
At the bottom of the pool, both Unus and Shola fight one another. The combatants have already dispersed all the water that once filled the pool to the brim. Fighting on the concrete bottom, Shola is the seemingly stronger mutant, but he does not count on one thing, another player to enter the fight.
At first, it seems to be yet another Troll interfering, but it is soon to be discovered that the furry beast is no Troll. With well-placed fists to the face, the attacker gains the upper hand. All along their brief fight, the attacker states that the battle seemed to be getting out of hand. Perching atop his victim, the Dark Beast announces that good help is hard to find and he had better gain something worthwhile from this endeavor or else Unus and Stripmine will pay!

Bad Moon Rising
Shola Inkose struggles to his knees in the pouring rain, trying to summon the strength to fight on after a serious beating by the Dark Beast. The Dark Beast clutches his head and flings him out of the empty swimming pool where they had been fighting to the deck above. He chides the boy, saying that heroes never learn even when beaten to a pulp as Shola has been. Stripmine and the Appraiser look on in shock and surprise as the Dark Beast introduces himself as “Doc, Doc McCoy.”
 He takes Shola into the building where Stripmine’s crew have Karima held prisoner and locks the boy up next to her. Stripmine clearly has no idea who McCoy is. The Dark Beast playfully pinches the pirate’s cheek and tells him that he can be the best friend he’ll ever have or his worst nightmare. At this point, McCoy shakes his wet, grayish fur dry spraying Stripmine and the Appraiser with the rainwater clinging to him.
Despite being held in shackles, Karima introduces herself as a detective-inspector of the Indian National Police and defiantly demands that they release her and announces that they are all under arrest. The Dark Beast notes that her weapons array is rendered inoperable and that she will be such fun for him to play with. He compliments the pirates on a job well done as he bounds across the room. He also reveals that he was their true employer all along, though they were unaware of this fact. He squeezes the Appraiser to his body and asks for a further evaluation of his new property. He is particularly interested in whether or not Karima’s Omega Sentinel programming is indelibly locked. The Appraiser assures him that Karima’s mind and soul are wholly human and cannot be changed.
The Dark Beast marvels at the current state of Genosha where technology cannot function. He notes that while this may be frustrating for those like the pirates who rely on gadgets and technology, for a geneticist-anthropologist like himself it is simply fascinating. He then gingerly uses his clawed fingers to examine Karima’s teeth, as one would an animal bought at auction. Tears run down her cheek as she calls him “Monster!”. He replies “Absolutely” with a toothy smile as he wipes a tear from her cheek with his thumb.
As the Dark Beast turns to the pirates to inquire on Unus’ whereabouts he finds that they have drawn their guns on him. He compliments them on this move before bounding into action and disarming all three of them with utter ease. He returns the weapons to the pirates and reminds them that their commission was for all six members of Xavier’s mutant crew. Stripmine replies that the trolls are dealing with gathering the rest and reminds the Dark Beast that their nannites have rendered the mutant fugitives powerless. McCoy is less than confident given the nannite’s failure to fully contain Shola’s powers. The Dark Beast returns to examining Karima, a single lens of his spectacles telescoping into magnifying tool with tiny blades and claws at the end. He notes that he likes some music while he works and suggests to Karima that they start with some Schubert.
On the grounds below, Magneto, Callisto and Xavier decide what to do with the troll that Callisto has managed to subdue. As they consider the troll’s strength and durability, music can be heard playing in the compound above. Magneto identifies it immediately as Franz Schubert and notes that he has not heard this piece in longer than he cares to remember. This sparks memories of Magneto’s time at Auschwitz.
 He tells Xavier and Callisto of a man there who played that particular piece. The man worked with Josef Mengele in the medical section. The children of the camp called him “Nosferatu” because of his pale, white skin and because he would give candy to those children who gave him a sample of their blood. He notes that “Nosferatu” would pick people at random and that he even had the authority to spare people from the gas chambers. Even the guards were terrified of the mysterious doctor.
 He continues to tell the tale to his comrades. He reveals that many in the camp believed him to be their own Oskar Schindler, sparing the prisoners from death and helping them escape the camps. But Magneto learned better. He became a member of the Sonderkommando to avoid Nosferatu’s attentions. While cleaning out furnaces in the crematoria, he discovered the bodies of those Nosferatu had saved. They had been turned into monsters and Magneto now realizes that he had been looking for mutants.
 He notes that when he began hunting Nazis years later, he tried to locate Nosferatu to no avail. But the music reminds him of the monster he encountered at Auschwitz and every time he hears it, he wonders if he has finally found him.
As Magneto completes his story, Freakshow comes stumbling into the clearing. He begs Professor Xavier for help as he has been shot. Xavier moves to help him but Magneto easily removes the bullet with his powers. Freakshow warns Magneto not to touch it due to the nannites inside which can burrow through your skin and neutralize your powers. Magneto easily renders them inert with a magnetic pulse.
 Xavier apologizes to Freakshow that he cannot provide better warmth or shelter. But the mutant telepath has devised a plan for dealing with the pirates. He asks Magneto if he is fully recovered, to which Magneto replies that he can at least try. Xavier says that they will hold Magneto in reserve then.
 He asks Freakshow to copy the form of the troll they have captured, which the boy does with relative ease. Xavier notes that the trolls are Stripmine’s primary muscle and that it will be up to him, Callisto and Freakshow to take them out. He asks Magneto if he can use a sling or his fists, to which Magneto reluctantly confesses that as the Master of Magnetism he had always relied on “flunkies” for such tasks. Xavier asks Magneto to look after Wicked and help her. When Magneto insists that he is capable of helping in the fight, Xavier says that he can help by being there for Wicked who needs him far more than they do.
Magneto goes to Wicked and comforts her against the raging storm. He tells her that he wishes he could offer more and that she deserves more. He looks out at the ruins of Genosha and his eyes spark with rage and power as he angrily demands to know how so many dreams could have come to this. He reins in his rage and says, mostly to himself, that he has tried rage and been mad and that those paths have only led him here. He admits to Wicked that he needs to find another way. She in turn, asks why he’s being so kind to her. She adds that she is everything her name says she is and that she can’t even help her friends. Magneto replies that there are times when there’s nothing you can do.
(Magneto’s memories:)
As he says this, Magneto recalls the moment when he was unable to save his first child, Anya. A younger Magneto looks up at a burning tenement building. He screams that his daughter is trapped as he is restrained by two Russian police officers. One of the officers punches him and tells him she is better off dead if she is a mutant like him. In anguish, Magneto calls out his daughter’s name as his body is surrounded by power arcs of electromagnetic energy that strikes out at the officers restraining him.
(Wicked’s memories:)
Wicked recalls the last time she saw her parents alive. Her mother was yelling at her about the way she was dressed (in black leather and fishnet outfit). Wicked’s mother told her she was not leaving the house in that outfit. Her father was ignoring the entire scene while reading his paper. Wicked tells her mother “I hope you die!” and her mother replies, “You wicked, wicked…!” but her words are cut off as Wicked’s father abruptly asks what is happening down in the harbor. A flash of light and bolt of energy rips through the house at that moment, tearing through Wicked’s parents. Wicked herself is apparently protected by some kind of glowing, yellow energy field.
(Present:)
Magneto clasps his hand over Wicked’s mouth as two more trolls arrive on the scene looking for their fallen compatriot (who they name as Yalo). They are distracted by Callisto who is using her feet to raise Yalo’s sidearm against the two arriving trolls. As one of the trolls easily bats Callisto aside, Xavier attacks him from the ground with a sling. The troll laughs as he catches the projectile, which turns out to be a nannite bullet. It sinks into the troll’s hand and he immediately falls unconscious.
 The remaining troll moves in to attack Xavier and Freakshow, still in disguise as “Yalo” rises to confront him. The troll attacks Freakshow with a sneer reminding him that he is no warrior at all and less than a babe. As the troll takes out Freakshow in a single blow, Callisto strikes from behind. As the troll falls, she says that Freakshow is not the one the troll needs to worry about.
Having handily defeated the remaining trolls, Callisto notes to Xavier how handy all the equipment caches he has hidden about town have proven. Xavier replies that he learned his military tactics in a guerilla war but didn’t think he’d have use of those skills again. Callisto complains that if she could use her arms this would be easier. Xavier retorts that if he could walk things would be easier and that Callisto has to just deal with it, as he does every day. Callisto smiles and notes that Xavier was much more of a stiff in the old days. Xavier retorts that if he had a decent roof over his head again and he may revert to type. Their brief banter ends as Xavier straps himself once more to Callisto’s back and they move on to the next phase of their attack plan.
Freakshow, still disguised as the troll Yalo, is thrown through the window of Stripmine’s compound. The brief moment of surprise allows Callisto to make her entrance, landing square on top of the Appraiser who is knocked unconscious by the blow. Xavier then attacks the troll with his slingshot, but the troll manages to block the nannite bullet with his sword. His gloating smile disappears when the seemingly unconscious “Yalo” knocks him off his feet. Once downed, Xavier hits the troll easily with the next nannite bullet from his slingshot. Stripmine notes to Callisto that he is impressed. Callisto in turn encourages him to end this before any more are hurt. Stripmine says that he’ll happily accept Callisto’s surrender. Callisto scoffs at him and asks Freakshow to help her free the others.
 Freakshow moves to release Karima but is caught by the Dark Beast. Stripmine orders Xavier and Callisto to drop their weapons or Freakshow will suffer. They immediately comply much to McCoy’s disbelief. He asks what their game is, unaware that at that moment Wicked’s spirits are rising from the floor to free Karima. Xavier assures him that “Whatever the game, sir… I always play to win.”
The sound of a click signals Karima’s release. McCoy covers his eyes and utters his trademark phrase “Oh, my stars and garters.” before turning to see a fully free and lethally armed Omega Sentinel with all her weapons trained on him. Karima tells him once again, that he is under arrest.
Epilogue:
Back in their living quarters, Xavier and Magneto share a toast at their victory. Magneto comments on Xavier’s strategy, realizing that Xavier intended for Magneto to neutralize the nannites suppressing Wicked’s powers. Xavier clarifies that he left Wicked in Magneto’s care because it was what they both needed. He reminds Magneto that not every battle is fought against a super-villain. Magneto replies that Charles is “ever the good shepherd.” Xavier corrects him saying he is a teacher and sometimes a physician but nothing more.
 Magneto points out that they now have a police officer in the form of Karima and prisoners, now all they are lacking is a government. Xavier asks Magneto to take his hand. The two shake and Xavier welcomes Magneto to the Republic of Genosha. He tells his old friend that all it takes to build something better is a pledge of fellowship. Magneto smiles and says to Charles, “Ever the dreamer” before asking who’s in charge. Xavier in turn, asks Magneto if he wants the job.

Saturday Night Fever
Hammer Bay, Genosha:
Xavier, Magneto and Callisto look out over the ruins of Hammer Bay. Charles declares that they are there to stay and that together they have a nation to rebuild. “Let’s get to work”, he adds.
Xavier thinks to himself that in coming to Genosha, he left everything behind: his school, his students, his family.
Unus and his mutant gang are startled by a loud crash. They hurry to a window wondering what could have caused such a commotion. Outside, they see Shola flying with his telekinetic powers. He smirks at them and waves as he says, “Mornin’, losers!” Unus identifies Shola to the others and calls him a “smart-mouthed punk” as he wonders aloud what Shola is doing. Shola shouts, “Fire in the hole!” as he dive bombs into the burnt out remains of a skyscraper. He joyously blasts out of the bottom, the building collapsing behind him as he soars into the air. He tells Freakshow who is waiting on the ground below that what’s left is all his.
Xavier muses on why bother rebuilding Genosha. He notes that it was only made a “mutant homeland” because the United Nations succumbed to Magneto’s blackmail. He realizes that it makes a perfect target for the enemies of mutantkind. But he also views this as a potential home for mutants who are continuously viewed as a threat.
Freakshow morphs into a reptilian tunneler with a long worm-like body and huge teeth. He tells Shola, “you knock ‘em down…I eat ‘em up!” as he slithers into the ruins and devours the rubble. He notes that what is left is clean, arable land. Meanwhile, Wicked explains to Magneto that her “ghost-friends” are searching the ruins for anything they can still use. The ghosts are shown collecting valuables and intact food. Magneto asks Wicked to remind her “friends” to mark any ferrous materials so that Freakshow doesn’t eat them, noting that he has plans.
Xavier believes that to leave Genosha in ruins is a sign that there is no hope, that there is not common humanity. He thinks it defines the lives of mutants in terms of fear and hate leaving them a future where they must hide or conquer in order to survive. He notes that the survivors in Genosha are mostly children and that they must be shown a better way. He also realizes that not everyone shares his intents.
Xavier and Callisto seek they aid of Unus and his gang. Unus asks what is in it for him. Callisto is typically cynical (or perhaps realistic) and playfully tells Charles that they’re wasting their time. As she does so, Toad-in-Waiting flicks his tongue out to catch a fly but Callisto stabs it with one of her blades before he has the chance. Xavier tells Callisto telepathically that he has to try. Unus offers to share what he and his gang have…for a price. Xavier retorts that he will not leave the fate of these people to the likes of Unus and leaves with Callisto who cannot help but say “Told’ja so.” Unus taunts Xavier by saying “Come again, old man” and tells his group that Xavier is a chump and that when he’s done or he’s failed, they will move in and take it for themselves.
Elsewhere in Hammer Bay stands the newly erected “Genosha Community Jail”, a battered looking stone building amidst Genosha’s ruins. The Dark Beast compliments Karima on her lovely name and accent. He is all smiles as he flirts with Genosha’s new “sheriff”. She stands with her arms folded, not giving in to his attempts at winning her favor. He asks how she ended up there and she replies that she was helping a friend, before asking what his excuse is. He replies with more witty banter, “Bad genes”. She asks if he’s the “real McCoy” noting that there are 1143 websites devoted to the Beast. The Dark Beast feigns feeling flattered, noting that Karima must have scanned the Internet with her built-in satellite modem and stored the data on the hard drive that replaced her brain when she was transformed into an Omega Sentinel.
 Karima notes that none of the websites mentioned the evil incarnation of the true Beast. McCoy assures her that there is only one Beast and that it isn’t that “Cowardly Lion” poseur in Westchester. He claims he should not be there, that it was all a misunderstanding. He offers food and medicines if they can come to an agreement of some sort. Karima in turn pops the blades on her fingers and offers instead to peel the flesh from his bones with them until he talks. The Dark Beast claims he’s in love. Karima in turn cautions him to be careful…she might take souvenirs. Beast smiles and assures her that he knows she’s no that kind of girl. He also asserts that he has nothing to hide and that Xavier can pick his brain if he dares. He notes that Genosha has no courts to try him, only Xavier and what he says.
Their banter is interrupted by one of the five Genoshan magistrates held in the neighboring cell. The magistrate calls Karima a monster and she readily agrees. She admits she was designed to kill mutants, but that she is not a murderer but an officer of the law. She says that she thought they might feel the same. She confronts them with the hypocrisy of their views. They claim Genosha belongs to them, though they built it on the backs of mutant slaves. She wonders if that is what they hope to restore or if they just want to exterminate the few mutants who remain. She asks if it makes them feel proud to embrace that heritage and if they look forward to killing children. She admits that they face the same issues in India. She tells them they have the chance to walk another path by helping to make Genosha into a land that humans and mutants can share.
Karima’s speech is interrupted, as one of the three imprisoned trolls breaks free of the cell holding him and his comrades. The barred wall to the cell crashes down on top of Karima, carried forward by the weight of the troll who lands squarely on her chest. He raises a piece of steel bar to impale her saying that they are warriors and do not make peace. She grabs the bar and punches the troll off of her and into a wall near the Dark Beast’s cell.
The Beast notes that it is curious that only one of the trolls attacked and wonders what their game might be. He states that whatever it is must not interfere with his own. He uses a claw to poke the troll in the neck. Karima attacks with the length of steel bar which the troll catches. He asks if she really thought such a pathetic structure could hold them. She replies that holding them there is her job at which point a second troll attacks from behind. The troll calls her a “wench” and as she slams him into the ceiling demands he show some respect by addressing her as “Detective-Inspector Wench”.
Suddenly, the trolls fall unconscious as Xavier psionically subdues them. His astral form appears and he apologizes to Karima for his intervention noting that he did not want the prisoner hurt. He asks what the meaning of this is, to which Stripmine replies that they do not like prisons or wondering what will be done with them. He asks Xavier if he can blame them for trying to escape. Xavier replies that he cannot blame them for feeling this way and explains that he has come to talk. Karima tosses the trolls back into their cell.
The Dark Beast looks intently at the blood from the troll on his claw. He licks it noting cryptically to himself that so much can be learned from a single drop of blood.
Xavier explains that Genosha is under global interdict and that anyone caught leaving will be shot by the security cordon. The Appraiser asks if he’s offering a deal. Xavier offers parole to those willing to join them and work with them to rebuild Genosha. He also offers to help them return home when the time comes. The Dark Beast immediately accepts with overly gracious aplomb. As do the Genoshan magistrates. Stripmine looks skeptical as Xavier offers him the chance to earn what he previously hoped to steal.
On a nearby dock, Magneto receives a telepathic report from Xavier. He is surprised to learn that their prisoners agreed and asks Xavier if he trusts them. Xavier scoffs and tells Magneto not to be ridiculous.
Behind them, a boy named Broadband is fishing and catches a strangely mutated fish which he shows to his companion, Book. Magneto tells Charles that it was as they feared, Hammer Bay is contaminated. Nearby, Shola shouts with joy as he finally manages to tap into the municipal water tunnel. Xavier asks Magneto who his new companions are. He introduces Broadband, a young man with gray skin and green hair with the power to access and project electronic communications and Book, an older blond woman who is a living repository of human knowledge. Book corrects Magneto saying her name is Annika and she’s a librarian. Magneto notes that they are finding more survivors but that the island is huge. Naturally, Xavier has a plan.
Back in Xavier’s room, Callisto grumbles that his plan won’t work if it involves his wheelchair, which is out of commission. He assures her that they’ll find a way to cope and Callisto, who has been carrying Xavier in a back harness for mobility’s sake, complains about her aching back.
 Xavier continues to discuss his plan with Callisto and Magneto (via astral projection). He looks over a 3-D model of Genosha explaining that the main attack was on Hammer Bay but that he has telepathically found life signs throughout the island. Practically, they need to continue focusing their efforts in Hammer Bay but those who are beyond its borders must be contacted in person, since his telepathy is limited by the island’s physical nature. Magneto is shocked to see how few lifesigns Xavier has tagged out of the previous population if 16 million. Xavier solemnly notes that Cassandra Nova’s Sentinels were extremely thorough.
 Xavier wonders if he can ever admit that Cassandra Nova was his twin sister and if he can possibly atone for what she has done.
Back at the dock, Magneto asks why Xavier must go out there himself. Xavier assures his old friend that he is the only one who can locate them and that Magneto is in charge until he returns. Magneto asks Xavier if he trusts him to which Xavier slyly replies, “Of course not. I’m controlling your mind.” Magneto smiles to Book and says he told her that Xavier would say that and the woman gasps.
 Back at Xavier’s room, Callisto asks if he’s kidding to which Charles replies, “Would any of you ever know?” Callisto grumbles that she liked him better when he was a “stiff”. She can’t believe Xavier’s newfound wit and asks if he’s insane or has been taken over again. Xavier tells her firmly “Never again.” He muses that for them, might makes right is an easy path. Callisto assures him he’s preaching to the choir as he climbs onto her back. She calls him “King Arthur”, but he considers himself more Uther Pendragon – last of the old guard. They compromise on Merlyn on a quest for the “true king”. The pair leave Xavier’s room and the team’s compound via Callisto’s tentacles.
Later that evening, the youngsters are watching some American television that Broadband has pirated from local satellites and is projecting on a wall. Magneto wonders if they all shouldn’t be in bed, to which Shola replies that he doesn’t sleep anymore since the attack. He reminds Magneto that each time he closes his eyes he relives another of the deaths that occurred here.
 Magneto confides to the young Genoshan that he isn’t the only one who is haunted by his dreams. Shola is not so into the TV show and so Magneto invites him to come and make himself useful. They go to some of the ruins excavated by Freakshow earlier. Magneto raises the remaining ferrous metals and asks for Shola’s help in lifting it all. Using it, Magneto constructs the framework of a small building. Shola asks if he knows what he’s doing and Magneto tells him that his first trade was building houses, most of which still stand. Shola wonders why he quit, joking that perhaps conquering the world paid better. Magneto simply replies that he lost his dreams and his thoughts turn once again to the loss of his daughter Anya. He sees the flames and the Russian police restraining him as his daughter screams “DADDDDEEEE!”
Shola starts to apologize for his flippant remark but they are interrupted by a news broadcast that Broadband is projecting. The report comes from New York City where camera crews show the destruction of Avengers Mansion. The reporter notes that there are reports of casualties and confirmed deaths among Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Wicked looks to Magneto who tells those gathered that his children, Wanda and Pietro are part of the Avengers.
Shola tries to reassure Magneto that they’ll be all right but Magneto is overcome with guilt as he thinks of how he once treated them. He tells Shola that all he wanted was to be a loving husband and good father and look what he became instead...the very thing he hated most. He says that no matter what he does or how hard he tries, that is how people choose to see him. He feels as if he’s not allowed to change. Shola disagrees but tells him that in this case, there’s nothing he can do.
At that moment, Magneto sees or believes to see Wanda crying out “DADDEEEE!” just as Anya had all those years earlier. He reaches out with his power and replies to Shola, “Really??” as he uses his power to create a sizeable energy pattern before him. He tells Shola to pray that his children are safe for if they have been harmed, he will have his revenge. Magneto then disappears into the warp effect he has created.
The Genoshan Highlands:
Xavier and Callisto have taken shelter in a destroyed passenger car and are looking at out a herd of cattle. Callisto wonders if they might be mutant cows, and Xavier replies that they have to eat. Callisto tells him to quiet down in case they’re listening. She wonders if he knows how to be a butcher, too. Xavier explains that by linking with Book he can read the proper manual and that it’s good to learn new things.
He offers the job to Callisto since she’s so good with knives. She replies that that is typical, no matter how enlightened the man, it’s always the woman who does all the work. Xavier suggests a 4-H club to help get Genosha on its feet, reminding Callisto that he is a teacher above all else. She tells him he is a dreamer. She also asks why he keeps looking over his shoulder and asks if there’s something out there. He tells her there is nothing he can sense but comments on the interference he is experiencing with his telepathy while on Genosha.
 Callisto senses that Charles is uneasy being out of touch with Magneto and Charles admits that old habits die hard. He notes that Magneto shouldn’t even be alive; he compares magnetism to the Phoenix force since both are fundamental forces that define the physical world. He wonders if Magneto himself is aware of his limits or his true potential. He tells Callisto that he suspects that there is literally nothing that Magneto could not do and that if that day ever comes, they have to be ready. Callisto is surprised at Xavier’s ruthlessness and reminds him that they are best friends. Xavier, in turn, reminds her that Cain and Abel were brothers.
Hammer Bay:
The sun rises over Hammer Bay and Shola is relating what happened to Karima. He explains, with great shock and concern, that Magneto created a wormhole. Karima does not get the significance but can tell from Shola’s extreme reaction that this isn’t a good thing. Shola assures her that it isn’t and says they have to find Professor Xavier.
At that moment, the wormhole reappears and Magneto returns. Instead of his previous black outfit he is wearing his helmet and the same costume worn by the impostor “Magneto” who devastated New York City. He is carrying the unconscious body of his daughter, Wanda Maximoff AKA the Scarlet Witch. Upon arriving, he says “Forgive me, Charles. Perhaps this is not the age for dreams or dreamers.”

What is the Life that Late I Led…?
(flashback)
As a young man Magneto was in the death camp at Auschwitz. In its three years of operation, Auschwitz claimed over a million lives. Magneto was not among them.
Starving and halfdead Magnus escaped the camps with his fellow inmate, Magda. They made their way to the city of Vinnitsa in Russia where they regained their strength and fell in love.
 They started a family with the birth of their first daughter, Anya who they named for Magda’s mother who had perished in the camps. They were happy and growing prosperous until tragedy striked. A fire broke out in the building they lived in and Anya was trapped. The young Magnus tried to save her but was stopped by the Russian police. Their brutality prevented him from rescuing Anya who was consumed by the fire. Enraged and overcome with grief, Magnus lashed out with his emerging powers.
 The resulting energy pulse killed everyone with a kilometer except for Magnus and his wife Magda. As he reached out for Magda, electricity arced from his hands. Frightened by the carnage he had wrought around them and thinking he meant to harm her as well, Magda ran away. Magnus fell unconscious, overwhelmed by his own power.
Years later, Magneto rescued the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver from a mob and enlisted them into his new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Magneto’s early philosophy was that mutants were the next step in human evolution and would have to take their rightful place by force. He and his Brotherhood were opposed by the original X-Men as well as later the Avengers. Disillusioned with Magneto’s tyranny, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver joined this team and became heroes in their own right.
Only years later Magneto learned that the mutant twins were his own children. Magneto had resolved never to see them again until news of the recent tragedies at Avengers Mansion reached the Master of Magnetism in far-off Genosha. Despite all reasoning, Magneto made his way to New York where he learned that his daughter Wanda’s reality-warping powers had grown out of control and were responsible for the recent Avengers’ woes.
 He took Wanda into his care and brought her to Genosha in the hopes of assisting in her recovery.
(present)
Magneto sits in a sparsely furnished room next to his unconscious daughter. He thinks back on the mistakes of his past and ponders how best to help his daughter.
He leaves the plain room and goes outside to see the progress that his allies Shola Inkose and Freakshow have made in leveling the city of Hammer Bay and converting it to useable land. Karima Shapandar arrives and greets Magnus. She notes that they have been worried about him and he says he was on personal business. Karima fills him in about Callisto and Xavier’s journey to seek out survivors and their agreement with McCoy and the magistrates.
 Magneto asks if Xavier trusts them and Karima replies that Xavier did leave Magneto in charge. Magnus asks Karima to find Xavier and bring him back at once. He says that there is an urgent need but refuses to explain further.
 He returns to Wanda’s room, which is now ornately furnished and decorated in shades of red. Magneto wonders about the nature of his own powers and Wanda’s and ponders if they can be harnessed. He sits back down beside her bed and begins to read“The Fellowship of the Ring” to her.
Elsewhere, the Dark Beast bounds through an underground passageway. He is expounding upon how clever it was of Xavier to find the means of persuading him and the former Genoshan Magistrates into helping him rebuild Genosha. The Dark Beast notes that he is a knave and wonders what will happen when he and Xavier finally clash.
The magistrates catch up and McCoy proceeds to flirt with Rebecca Lauria, the sole female among the Genoshan guards. The captain of the magistrates protests, but Rebecca herself seems to respond positively to the Dark Beast’s attentions.
 They have found a locked vault that is filled with weapons and supplies. It is locked and the retinal scanner is off-line due to the power blackout affecting all of Genosha. The Dark Beast manages to open it somehow. Rebecca is excited by what they find inside and kisses the Dark Beast gratefully. The captain scolds her for fraternizing with the Dark Beast.
McCoy suddenly hears a noise and goes off to investigate. Rebecca follows him into the tunnels and continues flirting with him. McCoy gets serious with her and tells her to go back to the captain as he ordered. She says she’d rather be with him.
 Lurking in the shadow of the pipes above her is a clawed creature. The creature grabs her and her cries alert the others who shoot at the unseen monster. It throws the captain into the Dark Beast with enough force to shatter the bones in his upper body. McCoy steps forward and challenges the creature who simply laughs at him. McCoy recognizes the laugh and pursues the creature into the tunnels.
Karima arrives at Unus’ camp and asks to borrow Hub, the teleporter on his team. Unus tells her she has no rights over him or his group. Karima warns him not to start a fight since they both know it will end badly. She explains that they need to get Xavier back quickly. Unus could care less and refuses, as does Hub. The girl teleports away and Unus tells Karima that if she wants her, she’ll just have to find her.
 Karima flies higher into the air, marveling at her new abilities. She shifts her perceptions to scan the island. Below, Hub is chatting with Hack and Purge about what just happened. A hologram of Karima appears and informs Hub that she has her bio-tagged and can follow her anywhere. She’ll tire eventually and Karima will have her and might even learn some of her secrets along the way. She then creates a map of the island and highlights the location of Xavier and Callisto. She asks Hub nicely to bring them home or she’ll have to come get the three of them in person.
Xavier and Callisto have found an abandoned railway car and are investigating. Xavier notes once more that his telepathy is growing stronger on Genosha but that there are dead zones where it simply doesn’t work. He thanks Callisto for carrying him. They note that this area was largely untouched by the Sentinels attack, which seems odd.
 Callisto searches the train cars while Xavier does some digging around (literally) outside. He finds evidence of a full-scale firestorm in the soil, but the surrounding forest and the train cars show no signs of it. The train cars were designed to carry mutants but were ripped apart by something.
 Callisto carries Xavier up to the main car where she has found five children who survived somehow. They wonder how the kids survived, but Xavier’s telepathy finds no memories of the incident.  The children are in poor health and short on supplies.
Just then, Hub arrives in a teleportative flash. She explains that Karima sent her and Charles properly introduces himself to Hub. She ‘ports the kids and Callisto back and Shola informs her that Magneto has sealed off the house to everyone but Xavier. Callisto wonders if he’s gone nuts again.
In the meantime, Shola and the others have built some crude habitats to provide some shelter. Callisto wonders where McCoy is with the supplies he promised.
At that moment, the Dark Beast stumbles into the camp. He is severely beaten. He informs those present that the magistrates are all dead. He claims they fought like lions but it was a slaughter. As he collapses, he tells them that it killed the magistrates and him and that they’re next.

Casting Fate
(Hammer Bay – Base Camp)
Doc McCoy AKA the Dark Beast stumbles into the base camp and promptly collapses from severe wounds after giving a cryptic warning to Callisto, Karima and Shola. Karima kneels by his side and a scanning device automatically pops out of her wrist as Shola wonders aloud who attacked McCoy.
 Callisto takes command and orders Shola to telekinetically seal off the underground catacombs from which McCoy just emerged. When Shola questions these orders and his own ability to seal every entrance to the underground labyrinth, Callisto wraps her tentacles around his throat and tells him to do as he is told.
The rescued Genoshan children are amazed by Karima’s scanning device and she is equally surprised by the capabilities of her new body. Callisto continues to bark orders, sending Hub to the main house for Xavier’s med kit and to fetch Magneto.
When Hub tries to teleport into the main house, a magnetic force field repels her. Magneto emerges and is still wearing the costume worn by the Magneto impostor who devastated New York City. He states bluntly that he requires privacy when asked why there’s a force field around the house. Hub has a bloody nose from the impact with the shield and Magneto is harshly uncaring. Hub explains that Callisto sent her for medical supplies due to the recent massacre and McCoy’s injuries. Magneto continues to be overly harsh with Hub but does relent enough to give her the med kit. In return, he demands she bring Xavier to him now. When Hub asks if he’s going to help, Magneto makes it abundantly clear that he has higher priorities. Hub then teleports away with the med kit to get Xavier.
Elsewhere, Callisto recruits some help from Wicked and her “spirit friends” in addressing the current crisis. She asks Wicked to search the catacombs with her spirits. Wicked is afraid because she herself feels the pain of whatever happens to her “spirit friends”. Callisto says they’ll do it together and takes the hand of Wicked’s spirit guide. This spirit guide apparently allows Callisto and Wicked to “see” and experience what the other spirits in the catacombs do. Callisto hopes that this might allow her to bear some of the brunt of any attacks made against Wicked’s spirit scouts. Callisto asks Wicked to have her spirits cover all the exits out of the catacombs and to retrace McCoy’s steps to find the supply vault.
 Callisto admits that she doesn’t trust McCoy as one of the spirit forms reaches the site of the massacre. Wicked is frightened by what she sees and wants to go back, but Callisto urges her to remain so they can more closely examine the bodies. As the spirit form approaches one of the slain magistrates, a clawed hand slashes through it. Simultaneously, Wicked and her spirit guide cry out in pain.
Karima grabs Callisto by the vest and chastises her for risking Wicked’s life that way. Callisto understands where Karima is coming from but warns her never to lay hands on her again. Callisto says she did what she had to do given the circumstances and then tells Karima that the two of them are going hunting. She leaves Shola as back-up. She then checks on Wicked, who is upset that Callisto broke her promise. Callisto apologizes but still needs Wicked’s help to keep watch. Shola wonders what they are going to do about McCoy. McCoy comments that “any job worth doing, is best done yourself” and asks for Book’s help in patching himself up. Callisto teasingly warns Book not to let him die.
(Hammer Bay – Inside the Catacombs)
As they descend into the catacombs, a miniature headlamp emerges from Karima’s bicep. She notes that Callisto likes to be in charge and Callisto merely says it’s her nature. Karima wonders why she chose her over Shola and Callisto states that it was due to Karima’s training and experience, as well as her Sentinel components. Karma is a bit bewildered by the many changes in her body. Callisto teasingly tells her that they are useful and incredibly cute. Karima asks her not to make fun and Callisto tells her that this too is part of her nature.
 Karima complains about the tunnels prompting Callisto to share a bit about her time with the Morlocks. She explains how they were massacred in much the same way as the Genoshans. She mentions that they were led by Scalphunter and that when she meets up with him again, all debts will be paid. The bonding continues as Karima asks if Callisto really likes her new arms. Karima notes that they make Callisto look inhuman. Callisto’s perspective is different. She revels in what she can do with her tentacles. She also questions exactly what “human” means these days. She uses Nightcrawler as an example: demonic appearance but heart of gold. Karima admits that she is a bit “old-fashioned” in her views of what is normal.
The two women come upon the bodies of the Magistrates. Callisto mentions once more that Genosha was built on the backs of slaves. She wonders if the world tolerated the inhumanity towards the mutates because they needed what Genosha had to offer or perhaps they feared retaliation. Or just maybe the world agreed with Genosha’s answer to the “mutant problem”. Karima wonders if the one responsible for the massacre of the Magistrates might have been a survivor out for revenge. Karima says that whoever did this is a monster, no matter the motivation. Callisto urges her to consider her words and that many would apply it to both of them.
As she says this, Callisto flings some knives towards Karima. They whiz past her towards an unseen target inside a rounded vault door. Karima is surprised and a moment later a sharp, barbed tongue lashes out at her. It pierces through her back and emerges through her abdomen before sending an arc of electricity throughout her body.
The Sugar Man emerges from his lair and comments that Karima tastes squishy on the outside but like a machine shop inside. He threatens to emerge from his domain now that they’ve discovered him and notes that McCoy has blazed a trail. Callisto is surprised to hear that he knows McCoy and the Sugar Man reveals that they both originated from an alternate timeline where they served Apocalypse.
 As he explains this, his monstrous henchman Rastus appears carrying the dead body of one of the Asgardian trolls. He calls Callisto “fresh meat” and asks whether she’s one the side of the flatscans or the Chosen. She replies whichever side puts him down.
 He swings his staff at her and she catches it in her tentacles and slams him back against the wall. She follows up with a kick to the jaw and wonders who these creatures are and where they actually came from. She notes that Rastus is very fast and strong and fights like a pro. He swipes the staff back from her and crushes it between his jagged, sharp teeth.
The Sugar Man tosses Karima aside like a rag doll. She is surprised when the pain subsides and she sees a vision of her own body as its systems begin to repair the damage. She begins to realize how deeply the changes to her body are and that she is truly more machine than flesh. She is horrified and wonders what she did to deserve such a fate.
 As Callisto fights Rastus, Sugar Man threatens to give her Rastus’ job. He then fires a machine gun at Callisto. They exchange complimentary banter as Callisto deflects and dodges his fire. The Sugar Man then lashes out with his tongue, which Callisto deftly avoids. As he draws it back into his enormous mouth, the electrical energy arc out and catches Callisto in its wake. This gives Rastus time to seize her by the shoulders. One of his monstrous heads bites down on her, severing her left tentacles just below the shoulder. Callisto cries out and falls to her knees as the Sugar Man wraps his tongue around her neck. As he draws her closer, she pulls a knife out and cuts his tongue off. Rastus hits her from behind, knocking her unconscious.
Karima rises and fires an energy bolt at Rastus. She reminds them that Callisto isn’t there alone. The Sugar Man tries to spear her with his tongue again but she proves resistant. She makes it clear that she can’t be beaten the same way twice. Callisto awakens and lunges at the Sugar Man, driving a piece of the broken spear through his head. She falls into Karima’s arms and asks if they’re dead. Karima indicates that they are before seeking out medical supplies to deal with Callisto’s wounds. Karima teases that if Book was challenged by dealing with McCoy’s injuries. She’s really going to love dealing with Callisto’s severed tentacles. Karima is shocked at the mess they’ve made of things. Callisto notes that the fact they survived is what counts.
(Hammer Bay – The Main House)
Xavier has been brought to the Main House by Hub. He notes her obvious agitation but does not pry. He is worried about Callisto and Karima but can do little due to the catacombs` shielding which prevent him from contacting them telepathically. Shola lifts Xavier and his wheelchair intro the house but is prevented from joining the Professor by Magneto’s force field.
 Once inside, Xavier notes that most of the house is new, with the roof and walls repaired and electricity restored. Xavier notes that Magneto was not capable of such a feat when he left. From the shadows, Magneto welcomes Charles and tells him that the need here is desperate.
 Xavier asks what Magneto has done when he sees the radical changes to the house and the fact that his friend is clad in the costume worn by the false Magneto who attacked New York. Magneto begs Xavier to “save the life of my child…her very soul!” He adds that as Charles can see, Magneto’s own soul is “already and forever damned.”

Save the Life of My Child
(Fraser’s Bank – London):
The Hellfire Club’s new White Queen, Courtney Ross, is conversing with her partner in crime, Viper and expresses her desire to purchase land adjacent to Genosha. Viper wonders how she’ll deal with any opposition from the Hellfire Club’s new Lord Imperial Roberto DaCosta AKA Sunspot and his mentor, Sage. Courtney makes it clear that Sage has burned her bridges with both Sebastian Shaw and the X-Men and that she’s fundamentally on her own. She adds that if she achieves nothing else, she will update the Club’s sense of style and transforms the traditional, corseted garb of the White Queen into a sensible white business suit. She states that she will create her own traditions and make her own rules as she always has. She then orders Viper to acquire the property she desires and to have no further contact with her until the deal is done so that Sage is not tipped off to her plans. She makes it clear that Viper is not to fail or grow to bold in her own ambitions or she will pay the price.
( Hammer Bay – The Main House ):
Charles confronts Magneto and questions why he would dare to reveal himself to the Avengers. Magneto argues that Charles is not a father and couldn’t possibly understand that he had no choice but to go to her. Xavier asks Magneto why he opted to wear that particular costume and Magneto seems stymied by the question, stating only that it felt right. He explains to Charles how Broadband played the news report of the attack on the Avengers. Magneto claims that despite there being no mention of Wanda specifically, he knew that she needed him and exactly where to find her. When Xavier asks how he got to her, Magneto smiles and tells him he created a pocket wormhole. Xavier is in utter disbelief at Magneto’s actions.
Outside, Shola and Karima are updating Callisto. She is equally surprised that Magneto created a wormhole and notes that before he could barely lift his own weight in iron much less achieve such a dramatic display of power. As she ponders the logistics of this feat, the Dark Beast arrives having begun the road to recovery after his recent injuries. He explains first that he heals remarkably quickly and then explains that magnetism is a fundamental force of nature and it’s a wonder that Magneto has not done such things in the past more often. He nearly falls as he tries to bound down the side of the cliff and is caught telekinetically by Shola.
Charles and Magneto continue to argue and Magnus urges Xavier to enter his mind to see Wanda as he does. He describes her as having “the edges of causality fraying about her.” He acknowledges the harm he has done to both her and Pietro over the years and vows to set things right so that they do not have to bear the sins of their father. He is clearly under physical stress from the extreme use of his powers. Xavier is also tired from his recent journey into Genosha, but he agrees to do all he can to help Wanda.
The Dark Beast provides a quick science lesson to the rest of the crew, explaining how the combination of gravity and magnetism is the source of stellar fusion. He notes that it is only the internal conflicts that plague Magneto that have kept him from expressing his powers in more dramatic and powerful ways over the years. Magneto’s fear of becoming a tyrant like those who oppressed him in Auschwitz may have been all that held him back from achieving this potential. He fears that if Magneto ever truly reconciles his inner demons and truly embraces his rational side with his righteousness, the result could be an even more powerful adversary.
 He then explains that where Magnus’ power is over the physical world as it is, Wanda’s power gives her control of the very shape of that reality. He suggests that a mixture of the two could prove an unparalleled threat. Callisto makes it clear that if it comes down to that, they’ll all do what’s necessary but until then the situation is in Charles’ hands.
( Zanzibar – Six Months Later ) :
Warren Worthington III and Paige Guthrie (AKA Archangel and Husk) are attending a gala reception in Zanzibar to celebrate the opening of his new outreach organization, Mutantes Sans Frontieres (Mutants Without Borders). The organization is the brainchild of Warren and Hank McCoy. Mutantes Sans Frontieres is a non-governmental global outreach organization designed to provide trained volunteers who can operate in places the X-Men and X-Corporation have no official presence. These volunteers will help educate the community about mutant issues, assist emerging mutants in dealing with their awakening powers and awareness of their mutant status and will alert the X-Men when an intervention might be necessary. The president of Zanzibar seems impressed by all this an in support of Worthington’s plans.
The gala is disrupted by an attack by a group known as the Weaponeers. They target Zanzibar’s airports and military bases while sealing the major embassies in a sophisticated stasis field.
As Warren and Paige react to the attacks, a cadre of Weaponeers teleports onto the terrace and issue orders to seize the President. Warren releases his wings and orders Paige to grab the President. Paige grabs the president and Archangel grabs the both of them and flies them away from the crowded hotel before the Weaponeers can react.
 They pursue and the President of Zanzibar is as bewildered by the attack as the two X-Men. He claims that Zanzibar has no powerful enemies and lacks any kind of strategic or economic value. The Weaponeers pursue in their cruisers and fire on Warren, Paige and the President. A stray blast rattles Archangel forcing him to release his “passengers”. Thinking quickly, Husk grabs the president’s hand and “husks” into a rubber-like form to cushion their fall.
Once they are safe on the ground, Paige “husks” again into a solid organic steel form. A moment later, another cadre of Weaponeers teleports in to capture the President. Husk holds her own until they use a putty-like spray that pins her to a wall. As the Weaponeers give the order to kill her, their leader is struck down by an energy blast. All present are surprised to see that the beam originated from Zanzibar’s president! He stands defiantly in costume and proclaims that Zanzibar, despite its lack of wealth is not easy pickings for those who seek to exploit or conquer the tiny nation. He declares that to conquer this island they will first have to conquer its protector… Askari the Spear!
 He then proceeds to drive back the encroachers with his energy powers and apparent superhuman strength. He mentions that he fought their fathers when they sought to conquer Zanzibar and make it a colony and that he embodies “the power of Mother Africa herself”.  Husk watches in amazement as he takes out the entire contingent of Weaponeers, wishing she could help.
A few blocks over, Archangel has led the Weaponeers’ skycraft into a narrow city block that minimizes their maneuverability. Flying with great evasive dexterity, Archangel lands atop the vessel and breaks open the window to the cockpit with a piece of debris. He yanks the pilot out just as the craft explodes and revels in the life of action that he leads.
At the Weaponeers’ headquarters, the Commander watches the battle with his employer, Viper! She is disappointed by their performance and taunts the Commander with the grandiose guarantees of success made by the Weaponeers’ leader, Achmed Al-Khalad. The Commander orders more troops in to deal with Archangel and Viper herself says that she will personally handle the capture of the President. As Viper strides away, the Commander states that they have their own agenda and implies that Viper could “inadvertently” meet her fate in the heat and confusion of battle. Viper expects such a betrayal. She grabs a set of mechanical jet-wings and departs to join the fray. She ponders Archangel’s attractiveness as she heads towards the battle.
Husk expresses her surprise that the President of Zanzibar is a super-hero. He explains that he is retired and his country needed Jono Baraka more than Askari the Spear. Their conversation is interrupted as Viper attacks them both. Husk retaliates and the two women wrestle a bit and exchange verbal barbs. Viper dodges out of the way just as Askari fires a blast of energy at her. He misses and strikes Husk instead.
( Hammer Bay – Genosha ):
It is several months later in Genosha. Shola, Karima and Callisto have all tweaked their costumes slightly, adding X symbols and motifs. Callisto’s left tentacles appear to have begun healing as well. Broadband picks up some transmissions of the battle in Zanzibar. Callisto recognizes Husk as well as Viper. Shola says this looks like X-Men business and Callisto sees this as an opportunity to show the world that Genosha and its people are not a threat by helping their neighbors. They agree to go to Zanzibar’s aid. Callisto elects not to inform Xavier as he has made working with Magneto his priority for the last several months. Callisto leaves Book in charge while she is away and has Hub teleport her, Shola and Karima to the site of the battle.

Gonna Have a Revolution
The Weaponeers’ sky ship hovers over the capital city of Zanzibar announcing a curfew and threatening to execute any who violate it. On the streets below, a cadre of Weaponeers brag about how easily they conquered Zanzibar and drove their citizens into hiding. They are surprised by the lack of resistance. As they prepare to move on, they get a signal identifying mutant power signatures and go to investigate.
On a nearby rooftop, Hub teleports in with Karima, Callisto and Shola. She complains about hating “long-hauls” and Callisto notes that it’s no picnic for her passengers either.
 Callisto wastes no time barking out orders and asks Karima for a full spectrum scan and Shola to keep his eyes peeled. Again he reminds Callisto that he was trained for combat and she reminds him that training isn’t reality. As they get organized, the Weaponeers’ sky ship passes by and they note a troop of soldiers busting in to the house below them. When they hear a scream, Shola blasts a whole through the room and the mutants head in to rescue the frightened citizens.
 Callisto moves in with frightening speed using her tentacles. Karima and Callisto makes short work of the Weaponeers’ as Hub teleports the family to safety. She wonders aloud why they’re wasting their efforts on “flatscan breeders”. Karima identifies the fallen soldiers as Weaponeers who she learned about in her police training. Shola took care of the remaining guards with the airship. They calculate the odds and despite them, feel confident that with Callisto as their leader they have a chance at success. Karima uses her Sentinel implants to get a lock on Archangel and Husk and can tell that they’re in trouble.
Askari AKA Zanzibar’s president Jono Baraka faces off against Viper. She notes that they both rule nations and he says that she is nothing but a pirate princess and vows to bring her to justice. Their banter distracts Viper and Archangel gets the drop on her. He swoops in and flies off with her. She head-butts him and as she fall activates the wing jets she borrowed from the Weaponeers. She taunts Warren by calling him a “cradle-robber” and teases him by saying he can’t handle a real woman like her.
Callisto commandeers a sky-skiff and orders Karima, Hub and Shola to keep Husk and Askari safe. She says that she and “Wings” have a history and Viper is all hers. Despite Shola’s protests, she flies off on her own to rescue Archangel. Introductions are quickly made and Husk comments on Callisto’s “past” with Warren, noting that she kidnapped and crucified Warren years earlier and that she’s not so sure how he’ll react when faced with Callisto again.
As Archangel pursues Viper, a Weaponeer sky-skiff joins the fray. Warren notes that his uniform has built in stealth properties to mask him from their sensors. He deftly swoops in and dispatches the pilots, sending the ship careening towards another that has arrived on the scene. During this scuffle, Warren lost track of Viper who comes in and slashes the X-Man with metallic claws. She warns him never to turn his back to a lady, especially when she’s a viper. She slashes at his chest and nothing happens. She notes that it can cut steel but his uniform didn’t rip in the slightest. She deviously notes that his face is unprotected.
From her commandeered sky-skiff, Callisto sees the confrontation between Viper and Archangel and hopes that Warren proves to be more than eye candy. Two more Weaponeer ships arrive and Archangel takes one out with a laser blast from the skiff he is fighting on.
 Meanwhile, Warren tells Viper that he’s often underestimated as just being a pretty face and a pair of wings. He notes that his muscles are strong enough to get him airborne and that he’s way stronger than the fiercest and most powerful birds, which can flatten a grown man in an attack. He skirts around her with incredible agility and relieves her of her jet-wings.
From his base, the Weaponeers’ Commander can see the battle and orders his crews to fire on the main batteries of the sky-ship that ‘Angel and Viper are fighting on. Karima sees their weapons targeting Archangel’s position and asks Shoal to stop them. He lets off a blast of kinetic force that rips through the airship’s hull. Rocked and badly damaged, the Commander calls on his special operative Scimitar to kill the interfering mutants.
Karima sends Shola after Callisto and Archangel. Hub suggesting bouncing back to Genosha but Askari refuses to leave his people. He suggests seeking out his Vice President and general of his armies to coordinate an offensive. Karima agrees and they go to seek out Zanzibar’s VP.
The ship Warren destroyed unleashes a supply of air-mines that fill the air. He tries to maneuver through them but Viper attacks him once more from behind. Callisto moves in and leaps from her ship to help Warren. She notes that Viper is as crazy as she is. The ship hits a mine just as Callisto yanks Warren and Viper off. The three start free falling through the air.  Viper simply laughs. She says if the end is near, perhaps Callisto will join her in facing it with style.
Karima, Askari, Husk and Hub arrive as Vice President Umbaja’s home. Askari asks if Karima is a cyborg and she frankly tells him of her past and that she’s not quite sure what she is now.  They head inside and are greeted by Umbaja who looks grim. As they enter the courtyard, Scimitar emerges holding Umbaja’s young daughter hostage and a cadre of Weaponeers all train their weapons on our heroes. Scimitar sneers and notes that Umbaja was prepared to fight them to the death except for his greater need to protect the life of his daughter.
At that moment in Genosha, Broadband has intercepted transmissions that make it clear their friends are facing some trouble in Zanzibar. Book calls out to Magneto, who reluctantly emerges from the main house. They ask Magneto to help and he asks what they suggest. McCoy says that the least he can do is tell Xavier since these are his students and allies who are putting their life on the line.
 Magneto reenters the house and sees one of Wicked’s spirit forms leaving. He glares down at the girl who is surrounded by thousands of “ghosts”. Magneto chooses not to tell Xavier what is happening. He tells Charles that he must help his daughter and that the lives and fates of all mutants, past, present and future depends on his work with Wanda. McCoy wonders if perhaps Magneto is not trying to keep them out, so much as he is trying to keep someone or something else in.
