Pride of a Nation [Redux]
Parliament Hill, Ottawa, where the Master of the World’s base has risen from beneath Canada’s parliament buildings, destroying them. Police officers surround the area, and smoke rises from the debris. ‘Master! What are you doing? There are thousands of people down there! I mean, the Prime Minister himself -’ Jeff Brown, Director of Department H calls out, before the Master of the World interrupts him, ‘Is no longer relevant’ the Master declares. ‘what are you talking about? Without him -’ Brown begins, but the Master points out that if Alpha Flight has found a way to reverse the Unity process, then everything he has planned is at risk. ‘What…what have you planned?’ Jeff asks. Holding the infant Claire McNeil Hudson, daughter of James and Heather Hudson in his arms, the Master tickles the child, who laughs. ‘To plunder your nation’s resources and create a new species of warriors to conquer the stars’ the Master replies. ‘Oh’ Brown utters.
Outside, Prime Minister Gary Cody is standing near the destroyed Parliament buildings, while his security personnel try to pull him to safety. ‘This way, Sir! Come on!’ one of them urges. ‘No! I’m the Prime Minister! Get me a phone! Get me -’ he calls out, before he and his officers are engulfed in a massive flame that is emitted from the Master’s ship as it takes off into the sky, with a massive SHAKOOSH, and Gary Cody screams out as he is overwhelmed by the flames. Gazing out the window, the infant Claire utters ‘Pretty’ as she watches the fire dart about. ‘You like that, eh, baby Claire? Wait until you see…what I have planned for your father’ the Master remarks.
At that moment, at Alpha Flight Base Camp, in the Saint Elias Mountains, deep within the Yukon. James MacDonald Hudson a.k.a. Guardian, leader of Alpha Flight, is knocked back by a burst of electromagnetic energy fired by his wife, Heather McNeil Hudson a.k.a. Vindicator, currently the leader of Alpha Strike. ‘Alpha Strike! In the name of the Master - free the Purple Woman - and destroy that machine!’ Heather orders her team of villains as she darts about in the air above Alpha Flight’s camp. Kara Kilgrave a.k.a. the Purple Woman is currently strapped into Alpha Flight’s machine, while Dr Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch lumbers about nearby.
Guardian has composed himself and flies back over to Heather, telling her that Northstar needs that machine to sae Kyle. ‘And I need it to save you!’ he adds. ‘You idiot!’ Heather exclaims, while Mac points out that Unity has changed her, tampered with her mind and body. We’re going to change you back!’ Mac declares, but Heather tells him that he still doesn’t understand. They struggle, hand-to-hand, their electromagnetic battle suits both charged and emitting powerful energy. ‘They’ve just helped me focus!’ Heather tells Mac, while Mac exclaims ‘Dammit, Heather! I know you’re in there! Listen to your heart!’ he urges her. ‘What the hell do you think I’ve been doing? Why do you think I embraced Unity? I got Claire back, Mac!’ Vindicator shouts.
Aboard his ship, the Master is watching Mac and Heather’s conversation via a recorder in Heather’s goggles. ‘Claire. Our daughter. You remember her, don’t you?’ Heather asks Mac. ‘The country you served so blindly took her away from us. But the Master gave her back to me!’ Heather exclaims, while her daughter plays with some dolls and a toy car, oblivious to the plight her parents are involved in. ‘Body and soul’ Heather declares, gritting her teeth. She tells Mac to focus, that this is what she is talking about. ‘I’ve never loved anyone so much. And I’ll never give up the love I feel for her…or come back to the broken fool who failed her so terribly’ Heather announces.
Forlorn, Mac frowns. ‘Heather…’ he utters, heartbroken - but Heather only responds by firing a blast of EM energy at close-range, knocking Mac to the ground once more. ‘Mac, are you -’ Northstar a.k.a. Jean-Paul Beaubier enquires as he swoops down towards Mac. ‘Don’t worry about me, Northstar. You’ve got to get Kyle to that machine before -’ Mac replies, when suddenly, Northstar’s sister Aurora - or in this case, the Jeanne-Marie persona - grabs him. ‘Dammit, Aurora, let me go!’ Jean-Paul exclaims. ‘I’m Jeanne-Marie, brother! And I’ll never let you go, not as long as you keep running back to that life of vice and sin!’ Jeanne-Marie warns her brother.
Peering out from one of the many nearby tents, Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. the diminutive Puck remarks that the crazy lady is still crazy, so it looks like it is up to them. ‘You ready for this, Marrina?’ he asks his friend. ‘Just a second’ the alien member of Alpha Flight replies as she struggles to maintain a hold of Northstar’s boyfriend, Kyle Jinadu. ‘You dirty Alpha Flight traitors! I’ll laugh when the Master catches you! I’ll dance when he burns your bones!’ Kyle shouts as Marrina pulls him from the tent. ‘Nice conversationalist’ Judd mutters. ‘He’s a biter, too’ Marrina reveals. ‘Ah, Unity. Keeping it classy’ Judd jokes as he dodges some debris.
At that moment, the astral form of Dr Michael Twoyoungmen a.k.a. Shaman tells Alpha Flight to protect the machine at all costs. ‘Walter thinks we can use Purple Woman’s pheromones to unlock parts of the brain Unity shut down -’ Shaman explains, while at the same time, Heather tells Alpha Strike that Alpha Flight will use the Purple Woman’s pheromones to warp their minds, and undo the clarity their Master granted them. ‘Alpha Strike! Destroy that machine!’ Heather orders. Shaman’s physical form is still being held prisoner by Ranark the Ravager, who exclaims ‘O Shaman of the Two-Young-Men - thou neglect thy first duty. Which should be to thy weak and mortal flesh separated from spirit’ Ranark declares.
Suddenly, Wolverine a.k.a. Logan is slammed against a tree, thanks to Alpha Strike’s Citadel. ‘Go away, little man. Got orders’ Citadel declares. ‘No! Shaman’s astral form exclaims as he tries to reconnect with is body - by Ranark has thrown a force field between the two. The deadly villain laughs and exclaims ‘Divided thou art too weak to pierce the wards and protections of Ranark the Ravager!’ Wolverine rubs his head and Citadel calls him stubborn. ‘Haven’t you figured out by now? There ain’t one place on my adamantium exoskeleton you can pierce with your wee little claws!’ Citadel boasts. ‘That’s right’ Wolverine replies, before he strides over to Citadel and shoves his two outer claws through Citadel’s eye slots. ‘I count two’ Wolverine declares, drawing blood.
All of a sudden, Ranark removes his grasp around Shaman, as the massive Great Beast called Tundra raises from the forest surrounding the camp. ‘Ranark. You insignificant gnat. How dare you swear allegiance to mortal lords? When your first and only allegiance - must be to the Great Beasts!’ Tundra booms. With fear in his eyes, which can just be made out through his skull-mask, Ranark utters ‘Lord Tundra - but their enemies are thine -’, when suddenly, Puck leaps up and kicks Ranark in the face, knocking him back. ‘Also. You smell like road kill’ Puck adds. However, Vindicator swoops down and nudges Tundra with her battle suit’s EM charge. ‘No! Idiots! Am I the only one who sees this is Snowbird?’ Vindicator cries out as she forces the goddess Narya to revert to her default form. ‘You gonna make me kill you twice, witch?’ Heather asks, while Snowbird falls to the ground.
‘RRAHH!’ Citadel cries out as he punches the air, blindly aiming for Wolverine. ‘When my healing factor grows my eyes back, I’m gonna rip you a new -’ Citadel begins, to which Wolverine asks Citadel if he wants his tongue taken out, too. Inside another of the tents, Alice Hu, one of the many members of Alpha Flight’s civilian army, all wearing the “Groundhog” battle suits, turns to the Taskmaster and asks if someone should turn Dr Langkowski’s machine on. The Taskmaster tells Ms Hu to respect the chain of command, reminding her that Hudson was pretty darn specific, and that they cannot reveal themselves until he gives the signal. ‘Gotta assume he knows what he’s doing’ the Taskmaster adds.
Northstar manages to throw Jeanne-Marie away from himself, and tells her that he doesn’t want to hurt her, but that he will not let her ruin his life. As Aurora falls to the ground, the out-of-control Sasquatch lumbers over to Northstar, and slams the speedster into the ground: ‘Pointy ears no hurt pretty lady! Or Squatch smash!’ he exclaims, before Northstar uses his incredible speed to punch and kick Sasquatch repeatedly. ‘Sting all you want, little gnat! You still get squashed!’ Sasquatch shouts. Bruised and bloodied, Northstar is unable to respond as Sasquatch’s fingers wrap around his neck. Suddenly, Jeanne-Marie gets up, ‘Jean-Paul - are you - don’t -’ she begins, seemingly concerned, only for the Aurora persona to take control: ‘Damn it, Jeanne-Marie! This has gone far enough!’ Aurora exclaims as Aurora/Jeanne-Mari darts about as each persona speaks. ‘You’ve got to let me out! You’ve got to let me help you!’ Aurora declares, but Jeanne-Marie tells her to leave her alone. ‘Your hate for me is killing our brother!’ Aurora shouts.
‘Die alien scum!’ Kyle screams as Marrina puts him in a headlock and drags him to the anti-Unity machine. ‘Yoo-hoo! Remember me? Somebody gonna turn this mystery miracle machine on, or what?’ the alien hero calls out. ‘Do I have to do everything around here?’ she shouts, when suddenly, a blast of energy fire from above separates Marrina and Kyle. ‘What are you doing here? I have the situation under control!’ Vindicator shouts as she looks upwards, where the Master’s ship hovers. It’s all right, Heather. I blame myself. One does not send a slave…to do the Master’s duty!’ the villain announces. The Master declares that acting in the shadows has accomplished all it can, and that only in the light of day can he flush out this prey.
‘That’s what we were hoping, you egomaniacal piece of…’ Guardian begins, before turning to one of the tents, and calling out to the Taskmaster, telling him that is the signal he has been waiting for. The Taskmaster turns to Alice and the other allies of Alpha Flight, remarking ‘Floating in that sky is your final. Make this old teacher proud’. An instant later, Alice leads the others from the tent, their Groundhog battle suits propelling them into the air. ‘This is what democracy looks like!’ Alice shouts, as they begin to unleash their suits’ energies on the Master’s vessel. Heather sees this and frowns, telling Mac that he has officially gone too far. ‘That UFO - that’s Department H!’ Heather exclaims. ‘Okay - so?’ Mac replies, before Heather points out that the ship they are trying to bring down has their daughter on board.
Heather flies towards Alice and the others: ‘BACK!’ the experienced combatant shouts, blasting electromagnetic energies all around, warding them away from the ship. ‘Claire…’ Guardian calls out as he flies towards the ship, and using his EM power, bursts into the Master’s vessel, shouting out to his infant daughter once more. ‘Dada!’ Claire utters when she sees Mac approach the Master. ‘Indeed. Welcome, Hudson’ the Master declares as he presses a button on his control panel. Tendrils extend and move around, while Mac declares ‘You’re not going to launch into a “we’re not so different, you and I” speech are you? Because I’ve heard them all before!’ The Master quietly replies that he thinks Guardian will listen to anything he has to say, while one of the tendrils sneaks up behind Claire.
Down below, Wolverine is blasted aside by one of the beams firing from the Master’s vessel, while Jeanne-Marie slumps to the ground. ‘You have to let me in, Jeanne-Marie. I - listen to me. I forgive you’ Aurora tells her. But Jeanne-Marie replies that she failed. ‘I let them - I let them do that to us’. But Aurora replies ‘No. They failed. The minute they took your - our innocence away’. Crying, Jeanne-Marie explains that there was no one around, no one came to her rescue - which is when Aurora was born. ‘There is no me. There is no you. Only us. We saved ourselves’ the Aurora persona tells Jeanne-Marie. Holding each other close, the personas begin to merge together. ‘I forget…which one I am’ Jeanne-Marie utters. ‘You know what that is?’ Aurora asks. ‘True unity’ they both declare as the merge is complete.
‘Walter. That’s enough now’ Aurora declares as she goes over to Sasquatch, who still has his fingers wrapped around Northstar’s neck. ‘Wal…ter? Wal-ter is…Sasquatch?’ Sasquatch asks. Aurora touches Sasquatch on the arm and tells him that he needs to live with his dual identities. ‘Because you cannot live without them’ she points out. ‘Pretty lady all right?’ Sasquatch asks. ‘Oui. Make sure Northstar is too’ Aurora replies. And as she announces that she has to act fast, Aurora’s eyes can be seen - one blue, the other reddish. Aurora then speeds across the camp, calling out to Marrina, she dodges the blasts that are fired from the Master’s ship. Marrina has regained possession of Kyle, and Aurora tells Marrina to hold him in position, as she turns the machine on.
Back aboard the Master’s ship, Mac announces that he wants his daughter back. ‘Obviously’ the Master replies. ‘All you people are is want’ he mutters, before boasting that the Unity process strips away all your unnecessary desires, leaving only those that he finds useful. While Heather sneaks up behind her daughter, who is wrapped in the Master’s tendrils, the Master of the World announces that he will use the bottomless avarice of mankind as a weapon to lay waste to the stars. The Master demands that Guardian turn over his plans to the pheromone device so he can make sure it will never be built again. ‘And what if I don’t?’ Mac enquires. ‘I’m going to kill you. And your wife. And raise your daughter as my heir. Or mate’ the Master announces, adding that he hasn’t yet decided which.
At the same time, Heather and Mac both frown, disgust falls over their face, and Mac shouts ‘Heather, now!’ as he unleashes a blast of electromagnetic energy towards the Master. The Master throws up a force field, and replies ‘Heather? She is mine, now -’, only for Heather to attack him - at very close range, from behind. The shock of the attack causes the Master to release his force field, enabling Mac’s EM power to join Heather’s as they dowse the Master in their power. Claire is knocked backwards during the confrontation.
Outside, Alpha Flight’s mysterious machine is powered up, and Kyle is dowsed in a glow of purple energy. Released from Sasquatch’s hand, Northstar rubs his neck, and calls out to his boyfriend. Kyle looks up - ‘Jean-Paul. I’m so…I’m so…’ he utters, before they run toward each other and embrace. ‘Aaw!’ Marrina exclaims as she sits on a fallen tree and watches them.
With the Master’s Ship fallen to the ground thanks to the work of Alpha Flight’s resistance members, Guardian and Vindicator, carrying her daughter, emerge from the wreckage. ‘They did it, Heather’ Mac calls out. ‘Now it’s our turn’ he tells her, turning back to where Heather is hovering some feet behind him - but in an instant, Vindicator turns and flies away, carrying Claire with her.
Shortly, Alice is still wearing the Groundhog armor, but has already begun reporting. Broadcasting on all channels, she announces that she has the latest on the restoration of Free Canada. Alice explains that at Alpha Flight base camp, scientists have been liberated from the Department H labor camps are studying the alien technology that contributed to their nation’s subjugation. Alice adds that in Toronto, General Hank Edmundson is mopping up resistance from the last cells of Department H forces. She reveals that across the country, police and mounties are reaching out to those suspected of having undergone the so-called “Unity process”. Alice tells everyone that there is a cure, and that if they are asked to remove their shoes, not to resist.
Alice continues, announcing that in Ottawa, following the death of Gary Cody in the disaster precipitated by his ally, the Master of the World, the Governor-General has appointed opposition leader Scott Gunderberg as interim Prime Minister, who has declared a nationwide state of emergency. Cameras at the ruins of Parliament capture what the new Prime Minister has to say: ‘And I call on you, my fellow Canadians, to face this challenge with the clear-eyed reason and humanity that our late oppressors sought to deny us’. He adds that today they reclaim their nation - and their own souls. ‘But as we protect and defend our land - let us say no to fear - turn our backs on hate - and let our best angels take flight’.
At the ruins of Parliament, Sasquatch and Snowbird, who has transformed into a woolly mammoth, are helping to clear rubble, while rescue workers have found a woman trapped beneath the ruins. Shaman tends to her medically, while Aurora prays. Marrina throws a hand into the air in celebration, while Northstar and Kyle stand together. Puck cracks open a can of beer and winks, while Guardian stands solemn, and holds up a tattered Canadian flag. Kyle and Northstar have found a dog. ‘Hey, he kind of looks like you!’ Kyle exclaims. Northstar just laughs as they crouch down and pet the dog. ‘With him, our little family will be complete…’ Kyle remarks, while Guardian overhears them, and frowns.
At that moment, elsewhere within Canada, ‘Dada!’ Claire exclaims as she sees an image of Guardian on a small television screen inside a store. ‘Come on, Claire’ Heather calls out as they prepare to leave the store. ‘Dada busy?’ Claire asks, pointing at the television. Buckling Claire into her car-sear, Heather remarks ‘That’s right. He’s got a job to do’. ‘Momma gotta job?’ Claire asks. ‘Yep’ Heather replies. ‘We’ll let Dada love his country. I’m gonna love you’ she tells her daughter as they drive off to the unknown….

Divided We Stand, part one
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where Alpha Flight's Omnijet descends under a star-studded sky. On the streets below, the mutant criminal called Janus is up to no good, a burning car can be seen nearby. 'Are we sure that this is the right thing to do?' someone asks within the Omnijet. 'We'll be turning out backs on people who've trusted us. Who've put their faith in us' the goddess Narya a.k.a. Snowbird remarks. 'I know' James “Mac” MacDonald Hudson a.k.a. Guardian replies as he gets up from his seat and walks towards the hatch. He's followed by Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck, while Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen a.k.a. Shaman puts the jet in hover-mode and states that while he agrees with Snowbird, he thinks that this is the right call. 'These people need our help to keep them safe' he notes, adding that they have been forced to choose a side in this fight, and that he will not lose sleep over the decision that they have made.'Neither will I' Puck decides. 'This is the mess they've made. Are some folks going to be mad at us? Hell yes. Livid, even. They'll curse us out. But when has that ever stopped us from doing the right thing?' Puck asks. Guardian agrees, and as the hatch lowers, he drops down through the air, propelled by his electromagnetic battlesuit, he uses a electro-pulse to lower Puck safely to the ground, while Snowbird flies behind them, and Shaman levitates himself downwards. 'Now... ALPHA FLIGHT... let's put on a show!' Guardian exclaims.Later, at the Peace Tower, Canada's Parliament Building located in Ottawa, where a crowd has gathered, waving Canadian flags and holding signs that read “True North Strong and Free”. The crowd are addressed by a woman with short blonde hair wearing a suit who introduces herself as Erika Dorion, the new director of Department H. She acknowledges that while many people mat not have heard of them, Department H has been working for years to keep Canada safe from threats both on the ground and in the skies, and while the past several years have focused their resources on global defence via the Alpha Flight Space Station, the program is still in effect – they cannot ignore the growing mutant concern on Mars, they would also be remiss if they ignored the threats that still exist on the ground.Erika Dorion frowns as she states that the mutant threat facing their neighbours to the south has begun to spread north like a plague. 'Mutants who can resurrect themselves from the dead, so no longer value life nor fear death. Mutants who can travel from one destination to another, thousands of kilometers away, in the blink of an eye. Who squirreled themselves away on their island, closed off to humankind, yet still brought chaos and destruction to our city streets'. Erika announces that it is because of this that Canada has joined with the United States to ban mutants from their country. 'We've had enough. It's time to make a stand'. She motions to four of Canada's Premiere Super Heroes standing nearby and tells her audience that it gives her great pleasure to reintroduce the newly reformed Alpha Flight – Canada's first line of defence against the mutant threat they face today. Guardian smiles at the audience, while Puck waves at the crowd. Snowbird folds her arms and Shaman looks on thoughtfully. 'Ensuring that we Canadians can sleep soundly at night. Knowing that they're out there, keeping us safe'. The Alphans exit the stage into a secure area away from the crowd, and Puck tells his teammates 'Well, that didn't go so badly, eh?' only for someone to shout 'You sold them out, traitors!' and hurl a takeaway coffee cup at Guardian. A man approaches the Alphans and angirly tells them that Northstar and Aurora were their teammates, but they have turned on them and the rest of mutantkind. 'You're nothing more than government stooges!' he exclaims. 'And you have the nerve to get up there on stage and talk about protecting the innocent!' Two police officers arrive and apprehend the man and one of them suggests a night in a cell might calm him down. 'Sellouts!' the man shouts, to which Guardian instructs the officers to let him go. The officers are confused, but Guardian tells them that this man has a right to speak his mind, even if they don't agree with him. 'He threw hot liquid at you, that's assault under the -' one of the officers begins, but Guardian states that he is not pressing charges. 'Emotions are high, there's no need to escalate them. Let him go' Guardian adds. 'Guess it's your lucky day, pal' one of the officer remarks to the protestor, whom he releases.That night, at Department H headquarters in Toronto, Ontario: The massive complex shines brightly under the night sky, as Alpha Flight follow Erika Dorion through the hallowed halls. 'Alpha Flight isn't going to be enough to deal with the threat we're facing. No offence' she remarks, to which Puck tells her that none is taken. Erika then reveals that Department H has restarted the Box Program, with the assistance of Orchis. She claims that once up and running, which should be any day now, each Box Sentinel will be able to track the location of rogue mutants via Orchis' proprietary tech, and they will no longer have to rely on civilian reports of known mutant locations. Erika assures the Alphans that they will always remain the face of this fight, the Box Sentinels should improve their projected efficacy by upwards of 570%. As the enter the Box Program offices, a young man with red hair and glasses can be seen working at some monitors. 'I believe most of you already know Roger Bochs Jr.' Erika remarks. 'It's been a while' Guardian acknowledges, as he steps forward and extends a hand to the younger man, who wears robotic limbs from the knee down to enable him to walk. Roger Bochs Jr. looks up at Guardian, then hangs his head, before returning the gesture and shaking Guardian's hand. 'Yes. Not since my father's funeral' he adds. Erika clears her throat, and announces that Roger is running the new Box program, building off of his father's work. Erika asks Roger if he can catch the team up on what he is working on. 'Absolutely' Roger responds as he touches a panel, which opens a door to another room, where one of the new Box Sentinels, purple and silver in coloring, is being housed.Roger explains that the goal was to create Sentinels that were sleeker than those oversized Stark monstrosities that are being used down south – machines that would result in less property damage and ancillary loss. 'Our Box Sentinels can walk through doors, they don't have to smash through buildings' Roger explains. He adds that, as Director Dorion mentioned, thanks to Orchis' Sentinel programming, the new generation of Box Sentinels will be able to seek out mutants where they hide. Puck tells Erika that this is very impressive, but that it all seems very authoritarian, sending robots in to do Alpha Flight's job. 'It's cold. Using A.I. hasn't always gone...great. How's the public going to -' Puck begins, to which Erika reminds him that their country is under siege, and they are trying to use every tool at their disposal to save Canadian lives. Erika starts to walk away as she informs Alpha Flight that they will be working with the Box Sentinels as soon as they are ready for launch – and that this is not a discussion.Roger tells Alpha Flight that he understands the worry about the Box Sentinels going rogue, and assures them that they aren't alone. 'That would be a nightmare situation' he admits, before explaining that to prevent it, he has installed fail-safe mechanisms as part of the programming. He holds up a helmet and reveals that he will be here at the command centre to take control when needed. Roger puts the helmet on and explains that the machines can only do what he allows them to do, and the moment he feels that he is acting outside of their programming or that something is wrong, he can then shut them down. 'You have my word on that' Roger states as he commands one of the Box Sentinels to extend their hand to Guardian, who shakes the Box Sentinel's hand, and tells Roger that he appreciates it, and that his dad would be proud. Suddenly, a voice comes over the communications system instructing Alpha Flight to report to the flight deck, as there is a sighting in Saskatoon.Meanwhile, in Camarillo, California, USA, inside the offices of Somis BioTech. 'Dr. Lucas Peterson?' a woman calls out. 'Yes?' a young man in a labcoat asks, turning to look up, he sees a woman striding towards him, with several Orchis agents at her side. Other employees of Somis BioTech look on, as the woman informs Lucas that she wants a word with him, in private. 'What's going on? I don't -' Lucas begins, raising his hands, before the woman tells him that this will be so much easier if he cooperates. 'I'm...what is this all about? Who are these -' Lucas begins before the woman tells him that as he is well aware, Somis BioTech develops technologies for several organizations, the largest of which is Orchis, and as part of their agreement with them, they had every member of their staff sign an affidavit confirming that they were not a mutant. 'Given recent events surrounding mutantkind and Orchis' role in it, you can understand why this would be important to them' the woman notes, adding that she had given Orchis every assurance that it wouldn't be a problem, that this workplace was mutant free. 'Apparently...I was misled' the woman states.The Orchis agents aim weapons at Lucas, and one of them orders him to get on the ground. 'What? I'm not. I'm not a mutant. I -' Lucas protests, causing one of the Orchis agents to shove the end of the gun against his face, knocking Lucas' safety goggles off. 'I said: on the ground!' the Orchis soldier snarls. As he drops to the ground, energy glows around his eyes, before suddenly, 'GET AWAY FROM ME!' Lucas shouts as he is surrounded by energy which he uses like armor, to knock the Orchis agents back, then smashes his way through the large floor to ceiling windows of the office, then drops several stories down to the ground.Back in Canada, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the Omnijet hovers above a street, lights streaming down to where police cars have surrounded someone. Civilians have gathered nearby, to watch. Guardian reports that this mutant is called Argent, real name Laurent Bavota, whose last known location was Gatineau, Quebec, so it's not known what he is doing this far west. Shaman, Guardian and Puck drop down into the police cordon, as Gaurdian tells his teammates that Argent has no priors on file, but has already sent half a dozen officers to hospital. 'Do not give him the chance to get close to ther civilians' Guardian adds, while Shaman tells Argent that he is outnumbered here. 'Surrender before anyone else gets hurt -' Shaman begins, when suddenly, Argent extends his arm as if it was liquid metal, and his hand becomes an ax which slices into the ground, narrowly missing Shaman's feet. 'Please, just leave me alone. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. They attacked me – I was only defending myself!' Argent exclaims.'If that is true... then give yourself up... so that no one else gets hurt!' Snowbird calls out as she appears above, shifting into the form of an ookpik, she swoops down towards Argent who exclaims that he just wants to be left alone – but before Snowbird can apprehend him, a figure darts out of nowhere and slams into Snowbird, knocking her back through the air. Snowbird reverts to her default form and looks up at whom attacked her: 'Aurora!' Snowbird gasps. 'Oui! You cannot have this one, Snowbird. He is under our protection!' Jeanne-Marie Beaubier tells the goddess, while someone below watching the exchange records them on their mobile phone.Argent begins to run, so Puck goes after him – only to be stopped in his tracks when someone in a yellow and brown costume drops down, landing on Puck and shoving him to the ground. 'And I have you, short stuff!' he exclaims. 'Daken -' Puck begins, to which Akihro reveals that he goes by Fang now. 'Sounds dumb' Puck points out as he kicks Fang off of him, sending him crashing into a window nearby. Fang quickly recovers and runs towards Puck, who tells him that he will go easy on him out of respect for his old man – but not too easy. Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar appears above and in his native French he tells Argent that he is trying to save him from these imbeciles. He swoops down and grabs Argent, taking him into the air, he informs Argent that they can bring him to a place where he wiill be safe. 'Where you won't have to worry about -' Northstar begins, before he is struck by a blast of electromagnetic energy courtesy of Guardian, which sends both Northstar and Argent crashing to the ground.'Northstar, this is disappointing' Guardian remarks as he and Shaman approach Northstar, with Guardian adding that he thought Northstar had left for Mars with the other mutants. 'There's plenty of disappointment to go around, Mac' Northstar responds, adding that he shouldn't be surprised to see Mac acting as a puppet for the government, even if means turning on his old friends. 'And here I was feeling guilty that I was going to have to bring you in as well, Northstar' Mac remarks, while Argent asks them all to stop this and tell him where to go – and then he'll go. Anxiously, he reports that he was told there were gates, Krakoan gates, that he could use to leave, but that the gates were closed. 'I tried to leave. I kept trying, but all of them – they're closed' Argent exclaims, before shouting 'I am trapped! If you tell me where I can go, I will go there. I swear to you'.Before anyone can respond to Argent, there is a burst of light, and a woman in a striking red and black costume with large cape, holding a sword in one hand appears behind Argent. 'Nemesis?' Guardian exclaims, shocked. 'Surprise, Guardian' Northstar smirks, while Nemesis points her sword at Guardian, and tells Argent not to worry. 'You're safe now' she assures him, as she suddenly vanishes in another burst of light, taking Argent and Northstar with her. Guardian and Shaman stand before the smoldering road from where they vanished, and Guardian contacts Department H, reporting to them that Nemesis absconded with their targets. 'Can you get a trace on her?' he asks. 'Negative' comes the response. Puck walks over and reports 'Daken or Fang or whatever he's called now, he's gone as well', while Snowbird drops down from above and announces that Aurora has gone, too. Shaman looks over to the crowd and points out that it looks like every person downtown managed to capture their embarrassment on video. 'Great. Just great' Guardian mutters as he takes flight, carrying Puck in his electromagnetic field, while Snowbird flies behind them and Shaman levitates himself upwards.In Garberville, California, USA, at a gas station under the cover of night, Lucas Peterson throws the packaging for a disposable phone into the trash, before dialing a number. 'Hello?' a voice on the other end of the phone asks. 'Eleanor...oh god, it's me' Lucas utters, before asking Eleanor if she and Sophie are okay. He tells her that he is sorry, and that they came for him, so he had to run. 'We're okay. We...please just tell me what's happening?' Eleanor can be heard asking. She tells Lucas that she saw on the news that there was an explosion at his work, that people had died, and then she couldn't get hold of him. 'I thought maybe you'd been...' her voice trails off, while Lucas assures her that he is okay. Hiding behind  the gas station, Lucas looks around to make sure no one is watching him, and tells Eleanor that he thought he had protected himself, thought he had covered his tracks, and he doesn't know how they found out.'Lucas? What are you talking about? Please... can't you just come home? Just...' Eleanor begins, to which Lucas tells her that he is sorry he never told her. 'Told me what?' Eleanor asks as she sits at a table in her home, her daughter Sophie at her side. Lucas can be heard telling Eleanor that he thought if he ignored it, it would go away. 'People will be by to question you, they're going to tell you things about me. Things you should hear from me first' Lucas informs Eleanor. 'I...' Eleanor begins, as Lucas informs her that his real name is Albert Louis, that he is a mutant, although he hasn't used his powers in years. He explains that he didn't want to be defined by being a mutant, as that wasn't the life he wanted, and so he changed his name, moved to California to start a new life, all years before they met. 'I'm sorry that I never told you any of this before' he utters. Eleanor assures Albert that she would have understood, and that it wouldn't have made a difference to how she felt.Albert glances around again and tells Eleanor that right now it isn't safe for him to be around her or Soph. He admits that he isn't sure what he is going to do, and explains that he just needs time to figure it out, but that he wanted her to know that he was alive, that he is okay. 'I wanted to make sure that you are too' Albert adds. 'We are, but we miss you and just want you to come home' Eleanor responds. Albert promises that he will, when it is safe, and assures Eleanor that he will call soon. 'I love you' he utters. 'We love you, too' Eleanor replies, before Albert creates a surge of energy that fries the mobile phone, and he throws it into the trash.'Cell pinged in Garberville' an Orchis agent sitting opposite Eleanor remarks as he looks at a computer monitor. 'Let's move out' another agent announces, while Eleanor hangs her head, and a third Orchis agent tells her that she did the right thing here.Back in Toronto at Department H, Director Dorion sits behind her desk and angrily shows media footage of Alpha Flight's failed mission to the Alphans that stand before her. 'Just this morning you stood behind me while I promised the people of Canada that you would keep them safe. And you couldn't even go a whole day without bungling it for the whole world to see!' she exclaims. Hands behind his back, Guardian tells Erika that they did not expect Northstar, Aurora, Fang and Nemesis to interrupt the mission. 'We didn't even know that Nemesis was still alive' he adds, before explaining that now they know they are in a race against their old teammates to reach these fugitive mutants, they can prepare for it. 'We've fought alongside them, we know their weaknesses. They won't get the drop on us again' Guardian assures Erika, who tels Guardian that that is something they can agree on, because starting tomorrow, the Box Sentinel program will be officially rolled out, and a dozen units are waiting to roll on her command. 'Because the four of you clearly can't best your former teammates on your own' she snaps.The next morning, at Krakoa North, in Manitoba, the sun rises over the valley where a facility is built over a wide river, on the edge of a large waterfall. 'How are you feeling?' Jean-Paul asks as he enters a cafeteria where he finds Argent sitting at a table. Several other mutants are gathered in the cafeteria, too. In his native French, Argent admits that he isn't sure, and claims that he has never been so scared in his life. In the light of day, Argent appears to be a young mutant with silver hair and glasses, and asks if it is true that Mars is only mutants. 'Do you have a way to bring me there?' he enquires. Northstar informs Argent that it isn't safe right now, and that they will be taking him to a place called Chandilar until it is. 'And we're going to bring you and all of the other mutants we can there. But with the gates closed, we're going to have to do it by ship, so we need to bide our time and bring everyone in one haul' Northstar explains.'When?' Argent asks. 'I don't know, but -' Northstar begins, before turning as a voice calls out 'Soon'. It's Shaman, who is walking alongside Puck, Fang, Guardian, Aurora and Snowbird, and reports that Department H is about to deploy the Box Sentinels, and that it is only a matter of time before they find Krakoa North, and discover they have been working together. 'We need to move every mutant here off Earth as soon as possible!'

Divided We Stand, part two
Krakoa North, in Northern Manitoba, Canada, a secret facility hidden in a valley, built on the edge of a large waterfall. 'We're running out of time' James MacDonald Hudson a.k.a. Guardian remarks as he walks alongside Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, and his husband, Kyle Beaubier-Jinadu. They pass several young mutants whom they have rescued, and then pass several other young mutants, who are playing a ball game, improvising a net out of a table turned on its side. Northstar agrees, and asks Guardian what they are to do now that Erika Dorion has moved forward with the Box Sentinel program. Northstar suggests that if Erika freezes Guardian out of her decision-making processes, then perhaps it will be time for them to make their run for Chandilar. They walk past another group of mutants, and Guardian reminds Northstar that they only get one shot at this, and if his inside agent takes a Department H ship from the Alpha Flight space station now, then that's it, they won't get a second chance.'We need to see how this plays out. See if there are more that we can save before we set sail' Guardian adds, before turning to Kyle and asking him how many there are so far. Kyle checks a report on his tablet and notes that with the rescue of Argent, that makes 23 mutants in the facility. 'Hmmm. It feels like only a drop in the bucket' Guardian remarks, to which Kyle points out that they don't know how many mutants are out there, and without a Cerebro, they can't access any hard data. Several young mutants rush past them, down into another corridor, where one of them is stopped by Jeanne-Marie Beaubier a.k.a. Aurora, who speeds after him. 'Non' she tells the small boy, who protests that he is bored and wants to play outside. Aurora calls him Spencer and explains that it isn't safe outside. 'Why not? It's just grass and trees and -' Spencer begins, but Aurora tells him that it isn't so much what you can see with your eyes, but about those who can see them.'There are bad guys watching. Bad guys who are looking to bring harm to people like you and me'. Aurora explains that this building protects them, as Nemesis has a force-field around this place, a magical force-field that helps them stay hidden, but that the moment any of them leaves the building, they are no longer protected. 'So we need to stay inside' Aurora smiles, before taking Spencer's hand and suggesting they go find something to alleviate the boredom. 'I think I saw a couple video game consoles with your names on them' Aurora smiles as she leads Spencer away, and the other mutants follow.Continuing on through the facility, passing a room where four mutants are watching television, Guardian suggests to Northstar and Kyle that if they step back from it for a moment, the Box Sentinel program might be a blessing. Northstar is surprised by this comment, but Guardian points out that until now, they have been relying on public reports on mutant sightings, reports they relay to Northstar and the others in the hopes they get to them first. 'With us taking in those who're known criminals' Guardian adds, explaining that this gives them enough credibility to keep Department H from getting suspicious. 'That will be difficult with Erika's robot dogs keeping an eye on you' Northstar notes. Guardian reminds him that the Box Sentinels are outfitted with Orchis tech that allows them to pinpoint the location of mutants, and if they can access that information, then they can prioritize the targets, with the Box Sentinels taking down those who are legitimate threats, while Alpha Flight saves those who need it. Northstar asks Guardian if Department H will just hand that information over. He adds that he doesn't think the Krakoan Council will be thrilled to leave behind those who humankind has deemed not worthy. 'Krakoa welcomes all' he exclaims. Guardian narrows his eyes and tells Northstar 'That may be so, but Krakoa is no more, and we don't have time to save everyone'In a medbay, Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen a.k.a. Shaman uses a small torch to examine the eyes of the silver-haired mutant called Argent, and apologizes to him if they were too rough on him. 'I was terrified, Shaman' the young mutant responds. 'I understand' Shaman remarks, before telling Argent that he is afraid they didn't have much choice, as Orchis and Department H have to believe that they are on their side. He places the end of a stethoscope on Argent's chest and tells him that, for what it is worth, he put up quite a good fight. 'Alpha Flight could use someone like you on our side, Argent' Shaman adds. 'Please don't call me that. My name is Laurent' the young mutant responds, hanging his head. He reveals that Argent was the name he used when he was younger, when he thought maybe he wanted to be like Alpha Flight – be a hero. 'But I hated the violence. I couldn't stomach it' he explains, adding that he just wants his life to go back to how it was, that's all. Shaman assures Laurent that he understands, and states that what is being done to mutantkind isn't fair or just. He leads Laurent out of the medbay and  assures him that Alpha Flight will do what they can to get him back home, but that until then, he will be safe here. 'I promise'.Elsewhere within the facility, Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck and Akihiro a.k.a. Fang are speaking with Empress Xandra of the Shi'ar Empire via comunicator. The holographic representation of Xandra apologizes to Fang for being unable to assist him on his own planet, but explains that with the Shi'ar's long history of imperialism, it wouldn't be right for them to interfere in Earth's politics. 'We already have enough to atone for' she adds. Fang assures Xandra that they wouldn't ask, and that all they want is for Xandra to ensure that those who they bring to her will be taken care of until they can safely return them to Earth. 'That, I can promise' Xandra responds, before asking when she should expect them. 'Soon. We've just run into some...complications' Fang responds. Puck thanks the Empress for her help, and tells her that they were worried they would have to dump all of the poor souls on Arakko, in the middle of a civil war. 'A sad state of affairs when placing them in a war zone is a safer option than leaving them in their own homes' Puck adds. Xandra agrees, but assures Puck that the Shi'ar have homes for them. 'Even though they may be temporary, that is no reason for them to not be comfortable and welcoming'.Meanwhile, in Bend, Oregon, USA, at a busy diner called Lenny's, a waitress holds out a pitcher of cofee and asks Albert Louis a.k.a. Feedback if he wants a warm-up. Albert looks up and thanks the waitress, who asks him if he wants anything else. Albert notices another waitress talking to a man in a shirt and tie, and responds 'Just the cheque, please' Albert responds. But when Albert is nealy out the door, the main the shirt and tie approaches him and tells him that he wanted to check how he enjoyed his meal. Several others gather around, as the man remarks that he has not seen Albert here before and claims that he likes to welcome new diners personally. 'It was great thanks' Albert replies as he explains that he is in a hurry and starts to open the door. The man keeps trying to stall Albert, and tells him that he doesn't want his first visit to be his last, and offers to give him some coupons for his next visit. 'Won't take but a minute, I promise' the man begins, before grabbing Albert by his arm and suggesting he get him a free piece of pie. 'We got the best strawberry and rhubarb pie in...' he starts, but Albert pulls away and steps outside, announcing that he really has to go. But outside, Albert finds several police cars have arrived on scene. The man in the diner tells Albert to give himself over to the police. 'This doesn't have to be -' he begins, before Albert tells him to get out. 'Now. Everyone – GET OUT!' he shouts as energy flares up around him.Back at Krakoa North: 'It's time for us to leave, Nemesis' the goddess Narya a.k.a. Snowbird announces as she steps into the stark quarters where the masked woman known as Nemesis sits on a bed. Nemesis looks up at Snowbird and tells her that she will be there to teleport her back to her ship in just a moment. Somewhat hesitantly, Snowbird sits down beside Nemesis and asks her how she is feeling. 'It looks like this fight is taking its toll on you' Snowbird points out. Nemesis holds up her blade, 'The Scell...every time I use it, it drains energy from me. Leaves me exhausted' she admits, adding that teleporting five people across the country is a lot. 'Last time I slept for twelve hours afterward'. Nemesis admits that she is worried that it is taking too much, and that when she needs it the most, she won't have the energy.Snowbird edges closer to Nemesis and puts a hand on her shoulder as she tells the mystery woman that she doesn't have to do this alone. 'Maybe you could talk to Guardian?' Snowbird suggests, but Nemesis remarks that she is not ready to have that conversation yet. Nemesis notes that without her, there is no way for anyone to get in and out of Krakoa North undetected, and without the sword, they will be found. Nemesis glances at Snowbird and tells her she is sorry, that she shouldn't put this on her. 'I knew what the assignment was when I signed up' Nemesis declares, before asking for a few minutes – but she doesn't get them, as Puck rushes in and reports that there has been a sighting of one of their own under attack in Oregon. 'We need to get back to the ship...now!' Puck exclaims. 'Okay. I'm ready' Nemesis announces as she stands up and holds up the Scell.Above Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Alpha Flight's Omnijet streaks across the moonlit sky, when the voice of Department H's new director, Erika Dorion, can be heard over the communicator, asking Alpha Flight to care to explain why their jey has been detected heading into U.S. airspace. Shaman and Puck are at the controls. Snowbird and Guardian sit behind them, and as Snowbird looks out the window, Guardian informs Erika that the police in Oregon have cornered an old member of their team, so they thought it would look good if Alpha Flight took him in, and show that they don't play favourites. 'You didn't think to check with me first? Just decided that you'd run off to another country and kick off an international incident?' Erika exclaims, to which Guardian tells her that there was no time. 'We thought -' he begins, to which Erika snaps 'Yes, you already told me'. Everyone listens closely as Erika reports that Department H is already aware of the situation in Oregon, and agree that this is a great opportunity to show that they can take care of their own problems.'Congratulations for finally getting it. This is a great moment for us to step up, to show the world what we're capable of. To prove to them that no one gets preferential treatment because of past affiliation with the team' Erika Dorion announces, adding that, if they are being technical, Albert Louis was only a member of Beta Flight. An assistant leaves Erika's office as Erika tells Alpha Flight that given this is such an imporant moment, they cannot risk messing this up – they need it to go well. 'You have our word' Guardian responds. Scowling, Erika tells Guardian that his word means little at this point. 'You've allowed Northstar, Aurora and Nemesis to humiliate you. To humiliate Department H' she snaps, before reporting that Department H will be going to Oregon and bringing Feedback here to stand trial. 'But you will not be going. If you cross into U.S. airspace, you will be arrested. Turn around. Return home' Erika instructs Alpha Flight, informing them that they will remain here as the face of Alpha Flight, shaking hands and waving at crowds. 'Besides, you're more than an hour out... and the Box Sentinels  are already there'.At that moment, in Bend, Oregon, U.S.A., over a dozen of the purple and gray Box Sentinels descend on Lenny's Diner.Back in the Omnijet, 'Well, what do we do, boss?' Puck asks, the jet's controls in his hands. Guardian frowns, before instructing Puck to turn around and head back to Department H. 'But -' Puck begins, while Snowbird looks at Guardian curiously. 'I know. I hate it' Guardian mutters, before pointing out that they are not going to help anyone if they are in prison. 'Head back to Department H. I have to make a call'.There, at Department H, Roger Bochs Jr, controls the Box Sentinels via the high-tech biometrics that he has developed. 'He's locked himseinf inside the diner...and cleared everyone else out' Roger reports, before announcing that he is bringing the Sentinels in. 'Careful...we can't afford any rogue casualties' Erika Dorion tells Roger via the communications channel she is on with him while she watches the Bochs via her laptop. 'Take him down before he can hurt anyone. Alive is preferable. But dead works if there's no other option' Erika orders.'Albert Louis a.k.a. Feedback. Come out of the building with your hands over your head. Surrender and no one gets hurt' one of the Box Sentinels announces from outside the diner. 'Just leave me...ALONE!' Feedback shouts as surrounds himself with a flurry of energy, projected as a force field, he bursts through the diner, then slams one of the Box Sentinels into the ground. 'Box-14 is down!' Roger reports, before Feedback turns his attention to another Box Sentinel and smashes it backwards into a nearby police car. 'Dammit, we've lost Box-7!' Roger calls out, while Erika warns him to get it together. 'We cannot lose her' she exclaims.Roger is able to control one of the Box Sentinels into busting through Feedback's energy field, and slams a fist into Feedback's jaw. The Box Sentinels close in on Feedback, with one of them instructing him to surrender, and reports that they are here to extradite him back to Canada. '#%$& you!' Feedback retorts. 'I did nothing wrong. You came to my work...you threatened me with jail, but I didn't do anything to deserve any of it!' Feedback declares. 'You're a mutant...and you're still here. That is your crime' Roger explains via thev Box Sentinel – when suddenly, 'And your crime...' a voice calls out as the Box Sentinel is sliced open. 'Box-9 is down!' Roger gasps. '...is thinking that we'd let you harm one of us!' Fang exclaims as he stands over the fallen Box Sentinel, while Feedback looks up and sees Aurora, Northstar and Nemesis have come to his rescue....

Divided We Stand, part three
Bend, Oregon, U.S.A, where outside a diner, Akihiro a.k.a. Fang slices the head off one of the Box Sentinels and remarks that he is disappointed to see Canada buying into Orchis' bull$#&% - but that he is more than happy to send their Sentinels back as scraps. He raises his claws again, while Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar speeds towards another Box Sentinel with his fists ready to strike, and his twin sister, Jeanne-Marie a.k.a. Aurora hovers above the fight, blasting another of the Box Sentinels with intense light. 'How...' Albert Louis a.k.a. Feedback utters as he stares out at the battle, when suddenly, someone appears behind him.Albert turns, and sees the mysterious woman known as Nemesis, who informs him that they are here to save him from Department H. 'Department H? I thought...I thought this was Orchis' Feedback remarks. Nemesis tells him that it is both – that they are working together. Raising her sword, Nemesis informs Feedback that they have somewhere safe to take him, somewhere that Department H can't reach him. An explosion sounds as Northstar receives the brunt of a blast fired by a Box Sentinel. 'No... this is my fight' Feedback tells Nemesis as he surrounds himself in an energy field and rushes into battle.Department H headquarters, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where Department H's new director, Erika Dorion, is at her desk, communicating with Roger Bochs Jr. via intercom, she snaps at Roger, 'Pull it together!' She reminds him that this is supposed to be his big debut and is letting the mutants walk all over him. 'I've got it!' Roger retorts from his lab, where he uses a video-link to control the Box Sentinels. 'Don't say it – prove it to me!' Erika shouts, while her assistant stands nearby, watching. 'Take them down. No prisoners' Erika tells Roger, who narrows his eyes and replies 'Okay! Okay!' Erika then slams her laptop screen down and decides that this is useless, that she can't do anything from here. 'Clearly this clown needs direct supervision' she decides.Back in Oregon, Aurora blasts another Box Sentinel with light, unaware that another Box Sentinel is flying towards her – and blasts her from behind, causing her to fall from the sky where she lands on top of a car. 'Aurora!' Northstar calls out, distracted by his sister's fall, he is unable to prevent another Box Sentinel blast him at close range, knocking him backwards.Making her way through Department H, Erika tells her assistant that she wants a desk, monitors and full support staff set up before she arrives. 'Yes, ma'am' the assistant responds, before Erika snaps 'And where the hell is Alpha Flight?' 'Here' James MacDonald Hudson a.k.a Guardian responds as he exits the hangar bay alongside Narya a.k.a. Snowbird, Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck and Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen a.k.a. Shaman. 'We came back as soon as you -' Guardian begins, but Erika has no time for pleasantries and instructs Alpha Flight to follow her. Alpha Flight keep their distance as Erika informs them that the Box Sentinels are making short work of their old teammates. 'I want you to watch, see how it's done. Maybe you can learn a thing or two' she suggests. 'Thrilling. Always happy to be replaced by machines' Puck mumbles. Erika spins around bends down towards him, poking a finger at him she scowls and tells him 'At least the machines deliver results'. Erika spins around and carries on down the corridor: 'Which is more than I can say for the four of you' she adds.'Okay, Roger... it's time to wow me' Erika calls out as she enters Roger's lab, where Department H personnel are setting up a desk and monitors as Erika ordered. Erika then tells Roger to prove that he is not just wasting Department H time and money. 'This is not good' Shaman whispers to Guardian, while Snowbird tells him that they shouldn't have turned around. 'Damn what Department H said...Northstar, Aurora, Nemesis and Fang...they need us, and we're not there for them' Snowbird utters, while looking at one of the screens depicting Fang helping the wounded Aurora.Back in Oregon, several Box Sentinels close in on Northstar, Auora and Fang, who decides that he thinks they have proved their point, and suggests that it is time they get the hell out of here. 'Those things pack a hell of a punch' Northstar acknowledges, when suddenly, 'On your six!' Feedback shouts as he arrives and smacks one of the Box Sentinels to the ground thanks to his enhanced strength courtesy of his energy field. Fang thanks Feedback for the save, to which Feedback remarks that he should be the one thanking. 'Surprised Alpha Flight remembered me' he adds. Northstar tells Feedback at they are not Alpha Flight, not anymore – but that they never forget those who have fought with them. Fang looks up and sees Nemesis drop down from above and tells her that it is time to go. 'On it!' the mysterious woman responds as she raises her sword in preparation for teleporting away.'Roger, do not let them leave!' Erika shrieks. 'I can't focus on my job with you constantly screaming in my ear, Erika!' Roger retorts, before commanding several of the Box Sentinels to open fire – and when the smoke clears, the diner has been destroyed, a small fire burns, and Feedback and his rescuers are nowhere to be seen. 'Wait...where did they go?' Erika asks. She turns from the monitor to Roger and asks him if he still has a read on them. 'I don't. They're off the map' Roger responds. 'Dammit!' Erika shouts, slamming a fist down onto the desk. She leans on the desk and asks how many Box Sentinels were lost, while her assistant looks at her. Roger checks his computer and reports that Box 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 and 14 are down, while Box 3 and 5 have both taken minimal damage and are fully functional, and Box 4, 8 and 12v are still at 100%. 'Hardly the showcase you promised me, Roger' Erika spits.Meanwhile, at Krakoa North, hidden in Manitoba, Canada, under the star-filled sky, a number of rescued mutants are being watched over by Northstar's husband, Kyle Beaubier-Jinadu. One of those mutants, a young man with silvery hair called Laurent Bavota approaches Kyle. 'Oh...hey, Argent. What can I do for you?' Kyle asks. The young mutant asks Kyle to just call him Laurent, as Argent is what he called himself when he was younger. 'It was exciting, I thought I was going to change the world. But… it was not the life I was meant to lead' Laurent reveals. Laurent looks out to the other mutants seated nearby. 'I want to know... this place you're going to bring us... this chadelier -' Laurent begins. 'Chandilar. It's the throne-world of the Shi'ar empire' Kyle explains. 'Yes... there. Is there not somewhere closer to home? Somewhere on Earth where we can stay instead?' Laurent asks, pointing out that it seems to be safe here, he asks if they can't just stay here. Kyle looks over at Laurent and tells him that he wishes it was that easy, but that it is not possible.Kyle explains that they are safe here for now, but that they don't know how much longer that will last. 'We understand that Chandilar is going to be a big change for a lot of you, but the hope is that it'll only be temporary' he adds. 'My grandfather used to say: hope in one hand and -' Laurent begins, but Kyle interrupts him, telling him that he knows the saying. Laurent announces that he wants to go home, or least away from here – away from the other mutants and the chaos that follows them. 'I just want to be left alone, and it feels as though you are keeping me captive here' he remarks. Kyle assures Laurent that he is being kept safe, and reminds him that Orchis has decided mutants are the enemy, that none of them have the right to exist on Earth. 'Even if you don't want to go to war with them. They've already declared war on you' Kyle points out, adding that, unfortunately, most of the world has sided with them. 'There is nowhere in the world that's safe for you or any of them. Not now' Kyle remarks.Kyle tells Laurent that he hates it too – he hates what Orchis has done, and he hates that Laurent has to leave his home because of them. Kyle points out that the only comfort they can take from this is that they will be safe on Chandilar. 'But, if you decide that you don't want to go to Chandilar, then we can talk to the rest of the team when they return' Kyle suggests. He adds that he isn't sure what the alternative would be, but that the others may have some suggestions. 'Non. I am not interested in discussing it. I just want to go home' Laurent responds, before he strides off away from Kyle.Meanwhile, there is a glow within the forest of Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in Manitoba as the moon glows above. 'Ou sommes-nous?' Northstar asks as he examines his surroundings after arriving in the forest. 'Not in Krakoa North, that's for damn sure' Fang remarks. 'This is not right. Nemesis, why aren't we -' Northstar begins, before Aurora screams: 'Nemesis!' as she sees that the masked woman has collapsed nearwby. 'Non' Aurora utters as she crouches beside Nemesis. 'I'm sorry I couldn't get us all the way back' Nemesis begins. Aurora lifts Nemesis off the ground and sees that the Box Sentinels have wounded her by blasting her back. 'I will tear their heads from their -' Aurora begins, while Nemesis assures her that she just needs ten minutes. Northstar folds his arms and decides that this is not good, and that Nemesis needs medical attention. He adds that they can't wait here, as they are sitting ducks – the Box Sentinels will not be far behind. Clutching her sword, Nemesis asks her companions to let the sword do its magic, and she will be good. 'Good as new. I promise...I will not let you down' she utters, while Feedback looks on, concerned.Back at Department H, Roger reports that he has located the mutants, that they just pinged inside Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, just on the Canadian side. He begins to route the Box Sentinels, but notes that it will take an hour to reach them. 'If they jump again -' he begins, before Erika wags her finger at him and instructs him to do it. 'We're not letting them get away, not again' she snaps. Addressing Erika as “Director,” Guardian suggests that Alpha Flight take this, as the Omnijet can be there in less than forty minutes. 'That time can make all the -' he begins, as Erika half-heartedly turns to Guardian, Snowbird, Puck and Shaman ands waves her hand at them, 'Yes, fine. Go! You take it' she tells them, adding that she wants Nemesis taken down, as she doesn't want them teleporting out of Department H's reach again. 'Do you understand?' she asks. The heroes turn and leave Roger's lab, while Erika walks after them, pointing at them, she calls out 'They've already made you look like fools once. Do not let it happen again'. Guardian just scowls as he leaves.Back within Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, while Aurora comforts Nemesis, Fang approaches Feedback and tells him that he needs to talk to him for a moment. 'Are you sure we should be just waiting around like -' Feedback begins, to which Fang ignores his question and reveals that a couple of months ago, he was on a mission in Santo Marco, where dozens were left dead and hundreds were injured – because a mutant named Feedback a.k.a. Albert Louis over-extended himself and exploded, blowing up a factory and throwing the whole city into chaos. 'We'd set him up for resurrection, but that ain't happened yet. And yet...here you are' Fang notes. Feedback looks shocked and utters 'He died?' before hanging his head. The others listen as Feedback reveals that when he was still at Department H, he wanted to leave, but he was under contract and Department H wouldn't let him go, because they sold his contract to a corporation in Santo Marco, who were going to use his powers, use him as a battery for their factory – clean energy and all it would cost was his life as an indentured servant.Feedback continues, claiming that he had given so much already, and he wasn't going to spend the rest of his life like that. He reveals that he knew Department H had the capabilities to clone team members, they had done it with Guardian, so he made a clone of himself – a clone who had no idea he was a clone. 'He thought he was me but had no idea what Department H was going to do. And I... I left' Feedback gasps, clenching his fists, clearly in distress. Feedback continues, explaining that he moved to California, changed his name and found work in biotech. He then met his wife, got married and had a kid. 'Oh God. Eleanor, Sophie...what they must be going through right now, I -' Feedback utters, pinching the bridge of his nose and closing his eyes. 'At least they still have their lives, unlike the clone you left to suffer. As though he had no flame inside of him' Northstar remarks.Feedback looks clearly pained, and tells the others that he doesn't know what to say, and admits that part of him thought maybe Department H wouldn't have left the clone in Santo Marco to rot, but he doesn't know what he could have done. 'If what you're saying is true, I couldn't have just walked in there and saved him. I'm not like you. I'm nothing like you' Feedback declares.Nearby, Nemesis doesn't appear to be any better, and Aurora remarks that she thinks it is time they came up with an alternate plan. But Nemesis states that she just needs a few more minutes, but Aurora notes that it has been thirty minutes already. 'You're in no condition to teleport us, but we cannot stay here. Northstar and I can -' Aurora begins, but Nemesis struggles to her feet and announces that she is okay. 'You're hurt, and you've pushed yourself too much. We can take it from here' Aurora responds. 'No, you can't...just let me do my -' Nemesis begins, before collapsing back to the ground. 'Non!' Aurora gasps as she grabs Nemesis. 'Non. Non. Non' Aurora repeats, before pulling Nemesis' mask off. She goes wide-eyed upon seeing Nemesis' face, and tells the others that Nemesis is dying.Northstar, Fang and Feedback move closer to Aurora and Nemesis, as Aurora announces that they need to get Nemesis help. But suddenly, 'Oh my god...' Guardian gasps as he electromagnetically lowers himself and Puck down into the forest, while Snowbird flies down after them, and Shaman levitates himself downwards. '...HEATHER?' Guardian shouts upon seeing Nemesis' unmasked face – the face of his wife, Heather McNeil Hudson. Aurora looks down at her longtime teammate, before Guardian grabs his wife from her and exclaims 'My love, no! What did they do to you?'

Divided We Stand, part four
Krakoa North, Northern Manitoba, Canada. The moon glows down upon the hidden facility which is keeping several mutants safe. One such mutant is Laurent Bavota, who is sometimes called Argent, although he doesn't like the name. He looks out the window of his small quarters, then picks up his backpack and leaves his room. The silver-haired mutant opens a fridge and begins putting some bottles of water and food in his pack. As he bites into an apple, the light suddenly comes on. It's Kyle, Northstar's husband. 'Argent – ah, sorry – Laurent... everything good?' Kyle asks. Laurent tells him that he just needed a snack, and is fine.Meanwhile, in Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, Manitoba, 'Heather...' James MacDonald Hudson a.k.a. Guardian utters as he kneels on the ground, holding up the unmoving body of his wife, Heather, who is wearing the Nemesis costume. '...please...say something. Please' Mac cries out, concerned. He then looks up at the mutant members of Alpha Flight standing nearby – Akihiro a.k.a. Fang, Jeanne-Marie Beaubier a.k.a. Aurora and Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar. 'Why didn't you tell me Heather was involved?' Mac snaps, adding that he didn't want Heather and Claire caught up in this. 'They were safe, they were... oh my god, where's Claire?' Mac asks about his daughter. Northstar assures Mac that his daughter is safe, that Heather left her with a friend who can be trusted. 'She didn't want to tell you until she was ready to -' Northstar begins, to which Mac exclaims 'They're my family, Northstar! I had a right to know. I had a right to know'.Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen a.k.a. Shaman approaches Mac and reminds him that time is not on their side. He asks Mac to let him treat Heather. Mac places a kiss on Heather's forehead and steps back as Shaman crouches beside Heather and asks 'What happened to her?' Aurora suggests that one of the Box Sentinels must have hit Heather as they were teleporting out of Oregon. 'She managed to get us here but didn't have the strength to continue' Aurora adds, before asking if Heather is going to be okay. Shaman frowns, while Mac looks on, concerned. Shaman then reaches into his medicine pouch and decides that it looks like the Onyx Sword's power protected Heather from the brunt of the hit. 'It could have been much worse' he notes. Shaman then tells everyone that the Onyx Sword was never meant to be wielded by the living. He explains that it is a weapon meant for draining the life force of its victims to keep its user alive. Shaman points out that because Heather is neither dead, nor has she killed anyone, the Scell has instead been draining her life force in order to function.Guardian looks on, concerned, while the goddess Narya a.k.a. Snowbird suddenly turns her attention to the treetops, as Shaman explains that the Scell must feed to survive. He tells Mac that the salve he has given Heather will heal her, but she needs to rest. Heather remains unconscious as Shaman states that if Heather continues to allow the Scell to drain her life force, if she teleports and continues on the way she has, then she will reach a point where there will be nothing left. Mac looks horrified, before Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck, someone who cares deelpy for Heather himself, approaches him and telsl him that he knows he is in shock, and that this is a lot – but they can't stay here, it isn't safe. Snowbird announces that Puck is right, and reports that Erika already has the Box Sentinels en route. Snowbird tells her teammates that she isn't sure this situation is something that they can explain to Department H, as they will be exposed and everything they have been working toward will be compromised, so they need to get Nemesis and Feedback to safety, now. Puck asks Shaman if Heather can move, to which Shaman confirms that she can, but that teleportation is out of the question.Suddenly, Albert Louis a.k.a. Feedback steps forward and tells everyone that this is all his fault, that none of them would be here if it wasn't for him. He then announces that he thinks he knows a way to buy them some time while they bring Nemesis to safety.In Toronto, Ontario, within the sprawling Department H headquarters, Roger Bochs, Jr. uses his high-tech equipment to control Box Sentinels from afar, while a Department H operative in a suit reports that they are a hundred kilometers from Alpha Flight's location, with an E.T.A. of just under five minutes. Erika Dorion, the Director of Deaprtment H asks if someone can Guardian on comms. 'Hell, even Snowbird, Shaman or that little imp!' she snaps. Her assistant can be seen nearby on a phone, while a woman in a blazer looking at a monitor tells Director Dorion that they have tried raising them, but no one is responding. Another Department H operative glances at her, before she announces that there is movement – four bodies leaving the location fast – at least a thousand kilometers per hour.'Dammit. Northstar and Aurora. Please tell me that Alpha Flight at least secured the target' Erika snarls as she rubs her tense brow. Suddenly, 'Department H, this is Guardian' Mac's voice can be heard over the comms system. Erika looks annoyed: 'Guardian, how kind of you to finally check in' she snaps at him. 'I see you let Northstar and his cronies get away' she adds. Mac reports that they weren't able to stop them, as they fled, and that even in the Omnijet, there is no way they can catch up to Northstar or Aurora. 'And the target?' Erika enquires. 'Albert Louise a.k.a. Feedback is in custody. We're bringing him in' Guardian reports. Erika leans on a table, relieved. 'Well, thank god for tiny miracles' she mutters, before instructing Guardian to wait for the Box Sentinels to arrive, as they can escort them back to Department H. 'We don't need -' Guardian begins, but Erika interrupts him: 'It wasn't a request, Guardian' Erika declares. She states that she is not risking anymore screwups – that they need this win. 'You, most of all, need this win' she adds.Back at Krakoa North, Laurent walks past a living room area where three younger mutants are lying around. One lies upside down on a sofa, another sits on the back of the sofa and a third sits on a beanbag. Laurent looks back at the younger mutants, before he uses his powers to transform his hand into a liquid metal, and shoves a finger into the side of the door, which causes the door to open. Laurent steps out into the dark forest that surrounds Krakoa North – leaving the front door to the facility open behind him. The three young mutants suddenly appear t the door, and one of the boys, called Spencer, heads off into the forest. 'Where are you going?' a girl with green skin asks. 'C'mon! I'm sick of being inside all the time!' Spencer calls out. The girl and the other mutant, who is called Bubs and is surrounded by a orange suit run after Spencer as he tells them to hurry, before someone catches them.Back at Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, Feedback is wearing handcuffs and Guardian and Puck lead him to the Omnijet, where Shaman is waiting. Puck asks Feedback if he is sure about this. 'We coulda just sent you with the twins, you know' he points out. Albert confirms that he is sure, and adds that he has been running for years, lying to his family about who he really is – what he really is. He notes that he is responsible for the horrendous death of his own clone, and now Nemesis is hurt because of him. 'I just...I'm tired of running. I'm tired of lying' he explains as he looks down towards Puck. 'If doing this gives the others an opportunity to get away so they can help the mutants you've already rescued then -' Albert begins, before he is interrupted by Snowbird, who drops down from above, warning her teammates that company is about to arrive.Mac, Albert, Shaman and Puck look up to see several Box Sentinels descend under the star-filled sky. Guardian tells Albert that whatever happens, to know that they are not handing him over to them – all they are doing is buying the others more time. 'Once they're in the clear, we'll figure out a way to lose the Box Sentinels' Guardian explains. 'You have my word' he assures Feedback. 'Good work, Alpha Flight' the voice of Roger Bochs Jr. can be heard over through one of the Box Sentinels. 'Thanks, but really...an escort feels unnecessary. We've already for the situation handled' Guardian responds. 'Sorry..but I've got my orders' Roger tells Alpha Flight, while glancing away from Erika Dorion who watches him like a hawk back at Department H. Alpha Flight make their way onto the Omnijet and Puck remarks 'All right, you heard the bot. Guess there ain't a lick we can do to change their mind' he remarks, before turning to the Box Sentinels and telling them to try and keep up.At Department H, one of the operatives goes wide-eyed as they discover something on a monitor, and as the Omnijet takes flight with the Box Sentinels at its side, the operative informs Erika that hr has just had a ping on their system. 'I think you're going to want to see this' the Department H operative calls out. Erika looks at him and frowns, before peering over his shoulder at the monitor: 'Is that...? Finally' she exlaims, before turning to Roger and informing him that they have a change of plans.A moment later, as the Omnijet streaks across the night sky, the five Box Sentinels suddenly divert, and fly away from Alpha Flight. Puck and Snowbird notice this, and Puck contacts Department H, informing them that the Box Sentinels took off northeast, and asks if there is a problem the team should know about. 'Negative, Puck' comes the quick response. 'The Box Sentinels have been redirected. You are to continue course to Department H with the prisoner' the voice over the comms system instructs Puck. Guardian joins the conversation, with Albert sitting next to him, he asks 'Where have they been redirected to?' but the voice on the comms system informs Guardian that this is not something to concern himself with and to continue course to Department H. 'Well, that can’t be good' Mac remarks, looking across to Shaman. He then stands up and contacts Northstar.'... we just lost the Box Sentinels' Guardian reports to Northstar via their comms system. Northstar and Fang are keeping watch inside an old barn at Cross Lake, Manibota, while Aurora sits on some hay bales with Nemesis, who is recovering from her ordeal. Guardian's voice can be hearding warning Northstar that Erika has given the Box Sentinels new orders, but is being tight-lipped about what those orders are. 'My guess is they're headed your way' Guardian suggests. Northstar thanks Mac, and reveals that they are still two hundred kilometers from Krakoa North. He explains that they wanted to get close so that if Nemesis has to teleport them in the strain would be less, but not so close that they would give away the location if discovered. Mac asks how Heather is, and Northstar looks at Nemesis, before reporting that she is better – awake and talking but that she still needs more rest.Jean-Paul tells Mac that he knows he is angry with him for not telling him that Heather was working with them. 'I understand, I would be too. Secrets are never healthy for a team. But she wanted to tell you herself when the time was right. And I could not go against her wishes' Jean-Paul remarks, adding that he hopes Mac understands. 'I do' Mac's voice can be heard over the comms system. Jean-Paul reports that they will hold their position for now, and when the Box Sentinels arrive, they will lead them away from Krakoa North. 'Be safe' Mac tells him. 'Please. Aurora and I can fly circles around those monstrosities, even while carrying Nemesis and Fang' Northstar smiles.'What's the news?' Fang asks his partner, Aurora, as he drops down beside her. Along with Northstar they head outside, and Northstar reports that Department H is already onto them, so they need to be ready to move. Fang asks why they don't stay and fight, reminding the twins that they already cut the Box Sentinels down by half back in Oregon, and they did that while worried about bystanders. 'We don't have that here. We can cut loose' he suggests. Jean-Paul turns to his sister and asks her if she thinks they should also make a stand here, to which Jeanne-Marie suggests that it is better than constantly running. 'If we can just -' Aurora begins, before Kyle's voice is heard over the comms system. 'Kyle, is everything okay?' Northstar asks his husband. 'We have a problem. Argent and three of the kids – Spencer, Tasha and Bubs – somehow got out of the facility' Kyle reports, back at Krakoa North.Kyle stands outside the facility, and watches as two other mutants lead the kids back inside, Spencer looks very unhappy. Kyle reports that the kids have been found, but that Argent is still missing. 'That reckless little -' Northstar begins, before looking back into the barn at Nemesis, and announcing that once she has recovered, they will teleport back and work at getting everyone to a new location, as coming back any sooner would be too dangerous, because the Box Sentinels are on  their tails. 'We can't risk leading them right to Krakoa North -' Northstar begins, before suddenly, 'Oh... no...' Kyle gasps, wide-eyed, as he looks up to see a dozen or so Box Sentinels closing in. 'The Box Sentinels aren't after you, Northstar. They're after us! They're here!' Kyle screams.Finally, rushing through the forest, Laurent climbs over a fallen tree and tells himself that he should have brought a flashlight. Suddenly, he hears a mighty BOOOOM and turns back to the valley below where he sees Krakoa North ablaze! 'Oh no. No! No! No! What have I done?' Laurent gasps as he looks on in horror....

Divided We Stand, part five
Krakoa North, Northern Manitoba, Canada, which is currently ablaze under the night sky as the secret compound is under fire by several Box Sentinels. 'Do not attempt to run. Any resistance wil be met with force' Roger Bochs, Jr. warns the two-dozen mutants who make their way out of the compound and into a clearing, where they, and Kyle Beaubier-Jinadu find themselves surrounded by more of the Box Sentinels. Three of the young mutants, Spencer, Tasha and Bubs, look scared, as Spencer exclaims 'I didn't mean for this to happen! I swear!' Kyle crouches down and assures Spencer that this isn't his fault, and asks him to stay close to the adults. 'We'll figure a way out of this' Kyle adds, before Roger's voice can be heard through one of the Box Sentinels, informing Kyle that he is under arrest for harbouring mutant fugitives. 'Lie face down on the ground, with tour hands behind your back' Roger instructs him. Kyle does as he is commanded, and several mutants also comply. 'You've caught us. It's over. Just don't hurt anyone. They're innocent. They haven't done anything wrong' Kyle utters, while quietly adding Jean-Paul... please hurry' over his communicator.'We're nearly there, Kyle' Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar assures his husband while speeding through the air, carrying his teammate, Nemesis, who is really Heather Hudson. His sister, Jeanne-Marie a.k.a. Aurora flies behind him, carrying her partner, Akihiro a.k.a. Fang. Northstar tells Kyle that he is sorry, and that if this Oregon thing hadn't happened, they'd already be on their way to Chandilar, but Kyle tells Northstar that going to Oregon was the right thing, he knows that. Aurora communicates with Guardian, warning him that the Box Sentinels have discovered Krakoa North, who is now under attack, with no one there to protect them. 'We're still ten minutes out' Aurora reports.'We're on our way' James MacDonald Hudson a.k.a. Guardian responds as he stands in the Omnijet and leans over to where Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck is piloting the jet. Snowbird a.k.a. Narya watches Guardian, concerned. Guardian instructs Judd to change course. 'We're headed to Krakoa North' he announces, and as instructed, the jet swerves and takes off in another direction.At Department H, in Toronto, Ontario, in Roger Bochs, Jr's workshop, a Department H operative informs Director Erika Doiron that the Omnijet has changed course. 'That son of a...' Erika begins, before touching her earpiece and connecting with Guardian, telling him that he better have a damned good reason for changing course. 'Erika, I was just about to call -' Guardian begins. 'i'm sure that you were' Erika snarls.In the Omnijet, Guardian turns to Albert Louis a.k.a. Feedback, while still communicating with Erika and informing her that they heard the Box Sentinels had found a group of mutants, and were on their way to lend a hand. 'Absolutely not' Erika responds quickly.At Department H, Erika's assistant watches as Erika tells Guardian that his orders are to return to Department H with the prisoner, and that unless they all want to join Feedback in prison, then she suggests he does just that. 'Is that understood?' Erika asks.'Guardian? Confirm that you have -' Erika's voice is heard over the communicator, as Guardian responds 'Confirmed. Over and out'. He then tells Puck to shut down comms, as they are going dark. 'You've got it. So much for the ruse, then, eh?' Puck asks. 'We knew they'd find us out eventually' Guardian responds, before Puck flips a switch, shifting the jet to stealth mode.At Krakoa North, Kyle and the mutants have been shackled and Box Sentinels surround them – when suddenly, 'LEAVE THEM ALONE!' a voice shouts. One of the Box Sentinels turns to the direction of the voice, only to be sliced in half by Laurent Bavota, who has shifted his arm into a large blade of liquid metal.'Dammit! We lost Box-38!' Roger Bochs, Jr exclaims wide-eyed as he continues to control the Box Sentinels remotely from Department H. 'Don't just yell about it, Roger! Do something!' Erika snaps angrily. 'I'm on it! I'm -' Roger begins, as he sees Laurent rushing towards another Box Sentinel – and responds by opening fire.The blast strikes the young mutant with a deadly fury that sweeps the liquid metal protection from Laurent's body – and burns his body, which drops to the ground with a FWUNK. 'MURDERER!' Northstar screams as he swoops down from above, dropping Nemesis on the ground, he smashes his way through middle of the Box Sentinel, destroying it. Nemesis uses her Onyx Blade to slice through Kyle's shackles as Northstar instructs his husband to get everyone away from here, to get to the trees and find a place to hide. 'We'll deal with these abominations' Northstar exclaims as he, Aurora, Nemesis and Fang gather together, ready for the battle ahead.Back at Department H, a shocked Roger looks at his hands. 'No. I didn't mean to... oh god' he utters. 'Get your head in the game!' Erika shrieks at Roger. Roger doesn't respond, instead he continues to see Laurent's dead body through his video link to the Box Sentinels. 'Roger!' Erika calls out as she knocks on Roger's cybernetic helmet. 'That mutant... that criminal... attacked you. You were protecting the Box Sentinels' Erika tells him. Roger frowns while Erika warns him to get it together, otherwise they will have no hope of bringing the fugitives in. 'Yes... okay...' Roger utters.'On the ground, hands behind your -' Roger announces through the Box Sentinels as they close in around the four heroes, when suddenly, 'No. These people are under Alpha Flight's protection!' Guardian calls out as he appears from above, blasting one of the Box Sentinels with an electromagnetic surge. Puck drops down onto one of the Box Sentinels, while Dr. Michael Twyoungmen a.k.a. Shaman casts some mystical dust from his medicine pouch towards another, and Snowbird transforms into a Wendigo.Guardian flies over to Northstar. 'Argent?' Guardian asks as he looks down at the burned body. 'They killed him' Northstar responds. As Fang leaps at one of the Box Sentinels, Snowbird in her Wendigo form attacks another. Fire rages around them, and Guardian tells Northstar that he is sorry. 'I didn't think they would take it this far. Roger... he...' Guardian's voice trails off before remarking that they need to get the rest of the mutants out of here – right away. Northstar agrees, and tells Guardian that there is no more hiding that he and the others are helping the mutants now. 'Which, we appreciate, but if they know, then how will you get access to the ship to get the mutants to Chandilar?' Northstar asks. 'Department H isn't going to let you anywhere near them now' he notes. Guardian informs Northstar that the ship is confirmed, that his contacts have it and are waiting for them on the old Alpha Flight Space Station. 'We just need to figure out how to get everyone to it...' Guardian begins. 'A little help?' Puck calls out as one of the Box Sentinels pins him to the ground. '... before more people get killed' Guardian concludes.At that moment, Snowbird, still in her Wendigo form, tears one of the Box Sentinels apart, but is shot at from behind by two other Box Sentinels. 'I could use some assistance over here!' Snowbird announces. 'I'm on my way!' Aurora responds as she flies towards Snowbird and aims beams of brilliant light at the Box Sentinels. 'Dammit, how many of these things are there?' Fang asks as he is shot in the back by one of the Box Sentinels. 'There's one less' Feedback exclaims as he joins the battle, his enhanced energy form slamming into the Box Sentinel. 'Keep pushing, we'll -' Feedback begins, before two of the Box Sentinels shoot him, causing him to scream. Northstar smashes his way through one of those Box Sentinels, while Guardian destroys the other with a blast of electromagnetic energy. Northstar asks Gaurdian if his contact can't bring the ship here, but Guardian points out that it is too dangerous.'If the Box Sentinels take out the ship, we're done. We don't have a backup' Guardian declares. 'I can bring them to the ship' a voice offers. 'Heath – Nemesis...no. You can't' Guardian responds as he turns to the masked woman who approaches he and Northstar in a small clearing within the woods. 'What choice do we have?' Nemesis asks. Guardian reminds her that she couldn't teleport four of them back from Oregon without nearly killing herself. 'There's no way you'll be able to teleport more than twenty all the way into orbit' Guardian notes. But Nemesis tells him that these people need their help. Northstar turns away as Guardian grabs Nemesis by her shoulders: 'I can't lose you again, Heather' he declares. 'They need us more than you need me' Heather responds. Heather pulls her mask back, revealing her face. 'If I don't make it out of here -' she begins. 'Heather -' Mac starts, as Heather puts her hands on Mac's face. 'Just listen to me' Heather asks.Nearby: 'Have you got everyone together?' Aurora asks her brother-in-law. 'Yeah, everyone's accounted for' Kyle replies as he stands with the young mutants and runs his eyes down a tablet that he is holding. Northstar is talking to one of the younger mutants.'In case I don't make it... tell Claire I love her' Heather utters, her sullen eyes looking directly at Mac. 'I don't wanna break this up, but time ain't on our side here' Puck mutters as he is thrown against a tree near where Heather and Mac are standing. 'Heather, don't do this to us. She needs you, I need you' Mac exclaims. 'I'll always be with you both' Heather replies as she kisses Mac.Back at Department H, 'Dammit. They're going to do a runner. Take Nemesis down. Now!' Erika snaps at Roger Bochs Jr., while looking at the monitors before her. Roger stares at monitors depicting the remains of Argent and remains silent. 'Roger, do I need to remove you and assign someone else?' Erika snaps. Roger closes his eyes and scrunches his face up, causing an enraged Erika to shout 'Roger! If you can't -' before Roger tells her 'No. I've got her' and narrows his eyes.At that moment, at Krakoa North, 'Stand down, or I will open fire' Roger states through one of the Box Sentinels. Fang, Northstar and Nemesis stand ready to protect the children, while, nearby, Feedback utters 'No...you moron...there's a reason they call me Feedback!' The Box Sentinels open fire, and Feedback absorbs all of that energy, and directs  is right back at several of the Box Sentinels, destroying them. 'All right, they're all down... for now at least... so if you're going to do this...' Northstar begins, turning to Nemesis. Nemesis raises her sword and turns to all of the mutants gathered nearby, and as a glow washes over the mutants, they then disappear. Nemesis stands alone, then drops to her knees and collapses. 'Heather!' Mac calls out.The Alpha Flight Space Station, in low orbit above the Earth, suddenly, there is a light, as all of the mutants from Krakoa North re-appear within the space station. Aurora and Fang are embraced, and look over as a voice calls out 'Glad you guys could make it'. It's Marrina, who stands with Heather and Mac's daughter, Claire, who looks on nervously. 'Marrina! Walt!' someone exclaims as they also see Walter Samson. 'Just because I'm know three meters tall and fuzzy anymore, you didn't think I'd miss out on a good old-fashioned Alpha Flight adventure, did you?' Walt smiles, before he directs the rescued mutants towards another part of the space station. 'Claire! You've gotten so big!' Aurora remarks as she embraces the child. 'Is my mommy with you?' the girl asks. Walt tells everyone that there is no time to waste, and that they need to get them ready for the big trip. 'No. But I promise... you'll see her soon' Aurora responds.Back at Krakoa North, 'No!' Guardian exclaims as he reaches out to Heather, who is not moving. He pulls her into his arms, 'Please...no...' he gasps, when suddenly, 'Did they...?' Heather utters. 'You did it. You saved them' Guardian tells Heather. 'Good...' Heather replies. One of the Box Sentinels raises a hand towards Shaman, Snowbird and Puck, who drop to their knees and put their hands behind their heads. 'It's over. We will not fight you anymore' Shaman states. One of the Box Sentinels forces Shaman's face to the ground, while another informs Guardian, Snowbird, Puck and Shaman that they are all under arrest for treason. 'You have the right to retain and instruct counsel without delay. Anything you say...' a Box Sentinel states, while Guardian holds Heather tightly in his arms. Another Box Sentinel states that they will need a medical evac for Nemesis as they pull her from Guardian. 'Get your hands off of her!' Guardian shouts, while another Box Sentinel grabs him and shoves him to the ground. 'Stay down, traitor!' Roger states through the Box Sentinel. 'We're not the traitors here, Roger. We didn't kill our own kind' Guardian retorts. 'You're the one who's going to jail' Roger points out. 'Maybe. But because of us, there are more than twenty mutants who won't be' Guardian snaps.Later, Erika Doiron stands at a podium and addresses a gathering before her. She tells them that they will already be aware that Shaman, Guardian, Snowbird and Puck, acting without Department H authorisation, or regard for public safety, assisted their former teammates and known fugitives Northstar, Aurora, Nemesis and Fang, in a plot to help more than twenty illegal mutants escape custody. Erika reports that they will stand trial for treason and answer for their heinous acts they perpetrated against this great country. Erika continues, reporting that Nemesis was discovered to be Heather Hudson, and claims that she sustained severe, self-inflicted injuries, and is currently receiving care for them in that same facility. 'When and if she recovers, she too will stand trial for her crimes against this country'.While Roger Bochs Jr. looks nervously at his cybernetic helmet, Erika announces that Department H is reviewing their own internal processes and actions during this time to ensure that they can offer Canadians the high-level of protection that they demand and deserve. She adds that while these fugitives may have escaped custody for the time being, the search for their whereabouts continues. She asks that citizens remain vigilant and report sightings of these and other mutants to their local authorities. 'I'm afraid that we will not be taking any questions at this time' Erika frowns.Finally, on Chandilar, Tasha, Spencer and Bubs can be seen with the other rescued mutants, looking at their new surroundings with awe.
