Disassembled, part 7
Chicago, Illinois, where several soldiers in green armor are currently engaged in battle with Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor, who wears a black bodysuit, and Robert Herman known as Glob, who has a fiery energy around his form. 'We are the Infinites! Enforcers of purity! Swords of -' one of them calls out, before Armor extends her forcefield into a weapon, shoving it through the soldier's chest. 'We will not stop. Put us down and dozens more will follow' another exclaims. 'That's fine...we'll put them down too!' Glob boasts as he tears one of their arms off, and kicks the soldier to the ground. 'I think that's the last of them -' Armor begins, before one of them lunges at her from behind and forces her to the ground. The Infinite holds her to the ground and readies his fist, 'Your armor is getting weaker, girl. I can sense it' the Infinite remarks, but before he can strike, Glob reaches out and grabs the Infinite by the helmet, crushing it in a fiery display and tossing the Infinite through the air with ease.
'I didn't know you could do that' Armor remarks as she drops her force field. 'Me either, Armor!' Glob replies, adding that he knows a hell dimension ruled by Apocalypse is supposed to be a bad thing, but he thinks his powers are so cool here – and he is only just beginning to understand them. 'I mean... I know it's horrible and everything here. It's just good to feel useful for once' Glob adds. Armor tells Glob not to do that and reminds him that he is an important part of the team. 'Didn't always feel like it. Like... ever' Glob replies. Suddenly, Armor asks where X-Man has gone. 'I... oh, man... I -' Glob starts to reply, when suddenly, I am fine' a voice calls out from behind remains of a wall. Armor and Glob turn to the wall and Armor tells X-Man that he can come out from hiding now. She adds that they need to keep moving before they are spotted by more Infinites. 'If something happens to you, we're stuck here forever' Armor reminds him.
X-Man begins to lead the way across the ruined city which sits under a red sky and tells the young mutants that he never promised that he knew the way out of here. 'But you said that there was something here in Chicago that would help us get back' Armor reminds him. 'Something that might help you get back' X-Man corrects her. 'Provided it's still there. Provided it still works' X-Man adds. 'If we've wasted months following this guy and it's all a hoax...' Armor whispers to Glob, who asks her about Rockslide and Pixie. 'What about them?' Armor responds. 'If we're close, shouldn't we find them? Let them know?' Glob asks. 'No' Armor tells him, reminding Glob that they made their choice, so they can live with the consequences.
At that moment, a strange gray-skinned mutant leaps from ruined building to ruined building, eventually dropping down to the ground, where a drum has been set alight. 'Who goes?' a figure standing near the drum asks. 'I've brought news, yes. News that you're going to want to hear' the strange mutant announces. 'News that you are going to want to pay for' the mutant claims, wide-eyed and holding his hand out. 'Tell you what – how about you tell us the news and we repay you by sparking your life?' Santo Vaccarro replies, grabbing the mutant by his face and holding him up off the ground. Flames surround Rockslide's body and he has a gaping hole in his chest, while Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie stands next to him, her appearance somewhat demonic. 'Rockslide...' Pixie calls out. Santo turns to her and tells her that he is tired of being taken advantage of. 'Plus, we got no money' he reminds her. 'Fine, I'll tell!' the mutant gasps, so Rockslide drops him. The mutant rubs his head and looks up at Rockslide and Pixie and tells them that the three he has been hunting for – the girl and the jelly man and the thin bearded man – he saw them!
'I was born here' X-Man remarks as he enters a darkened laboratory with Glob and Armor, explaining to them that her was a project, birthed from a sick mind, manipulated like raw clay, molded, experimented on and tortured. 'That sounds terrible' Glob replies as they walk through the facility. X-Man informs them that Mister Sinister conceived him to be a weapon, a tool to bring down Apocalypse, so he spent his whole life telling himself that he was something more than that. 'You can be. Start by finding this crystal you've been telling us about. Find it and you get us home and you can be whatever -' Armor begins, when suddenly, there is a FWOOSH and the lab lights up. 'Sorry! Sorry! It was so dark... I didn't know... I thought it was a light switch' Glob remarks as he stands next to a stasis tank which houses a body that has been set alight.
Elsewhere, 'I don't see anything' Pixie tells Rockslide as she teleports the two of them into a rundown warehouse. 'Dammit. There's no one here. I knew that creep was lying!' Rockslide mutters. Pixie goes over to one of the windows that isn't smashed, 'Hmmm...' she remarks. '“Hmmm” what?' Rockslide asks her. Pixie tells him that there is condensation on the window. Rockslide doesn't understand, so Pixie explains that the building is warm inside, that it isn't abandoned like the rest. 'Maybe that creep was right?' she wonders. 'Good work, big brain. Only problem is, if they are in, they're going to kick our behinds again' Rockslide points out. 'Let me worry about that, little brain. Don't let them leave' Pixie tells Rockslide as she casts a spell and teleports away.
'That's Firestar. Is she...' Glob begins as he looks into the tank where the flaming body hangs limp. 'Dead' X-Man tells him 'How long has she been...?' Glob starts to ask, as X-Man reveals she has been there for years. He remarks that Sinister was a product of this world, and like this world, if he could find a use for you, there's nothing that would stop him – even death itself is no escape. X-Man enters another room as he tells Armor and Glob that when he first arrived in their world he thought he was in heaven, that he didn't see all the suffering and hatred he had been raised in – the constant need to step on others to raise yourselves, but it took him a long time to realize that their world is just better at hiding those things. 'That's not fair. Our world is nothing like this place' Armor replies. 'Maybe to you. But I still lost faith all the same. I thought I'd found my heaven but I'd only found a subtler hell' X-Man remarks.
Armor and Glob follow X-Man into another room as X-Man tells Armor that perhaps she is right, that there is still hope for her world. 'When we first me, you asked me why I was doing what I was doing. What I should have said is that I still believed' X-Man remarks. 'If I couldn't make your world into a heaven...at least I could fight to keep it from becoming hell' he adds as he motions to several more tanks each containing bodies, one of them that of Colossus. X-Man looks at one of the bodies, 'But it's too late now, for my world and for yours. This right here is the connective tissue. Life has no meaning. People disappear and die and they are forgotten. No one remembers them'. Armor tells X-Man that he doesn't know anything about her world. 'Our friends care. They haven't -' she starts to say, to which X-Man asks her if they care then where are they? He points out that they have been here for how long now – months? Years? And the X-Men have never tried to save them – and they never will.
'Who the hell are you -' Armor starts to say before Glob, holding up a small canister, interrupts, asking 'Umm... guys? Is this the thing we were looking for 'cause it sure looks like a thing we'd be looking for'. X-Man takes the canister from Glob, telling him to be careful, despite being so powerful, the M'Kraan Crystal shards are unbelievably fragile. 'We must take the utmost -' he begins as he opens the canister, only to gasp 'No...' as dust falls from the canister. Armor asks him what has happened, to which X-Man explains that it looks like the crystal was drained long ago. 'How are we supposed to get home now?' Armor asks, when suddenly, 'Hey, everybody! Miss me?' Rockslide asks as he moves towards the others. 'Rockslide!' Glob gasps. 'Wait... hold on... am I the only one who showed up?' Rockslide asks, wide-eyed. 'You were early. Not my fault' Pixie declares as she teleports into the room with several other mutants. Pixie reports that they have come to deal with X-Man once and for all, but that first they have to talk to their former teammates. She casts a spell and teleports X-Man into one of the tanks with the skeletons, 'No! Please! Let me out!' X-Man shouts, banging on the tank.
Pixie's allies rush forward, but Glob knocks one of them back, 'This is all you brought? It's gonna take more than that to defeat the Unlovable Glob!' Glob boasts, before grabbing two of the others and slamming their heads together. 'That's enough!' Rockslide calls out as he rushes over to Glob, who spins around and slams his fist into Rockslide's face, asking him if he really wants a rematch that bad. Rockslide punches Glob back, telling him that he doesn't want to fight him, but that this is their chance to stop X-Man. 'You mean kill' Glob points out. 'He has no power here. We can save our world from him now' Rockslide explains. Glob grabs Rockslide by his wrists and tells him that X-Man is the only way they are ever getting home. 'You really want to take us home if he's just going to destroy it?' Rockslide asks.
Pixie leaps over Armor who tries to punch her with an extended force field. 'Stop fighting us. Help us. X-Man has to die...it's the only way!' Pixie exclaims, to which Armor declares that she respectfully disagrees. 'You'll have to be faster than that' Pixie remarks as Armor tells her that she wasn't aiming for her, and strikes the wall, causing some rubble to fall, some of it striking Pixie in the head. Pixie falls back and Armor rushes over to her, 'He's probably our only way out of this world, Megan' Armor tells her, sitting on Pixie, Armor points out that the only thing killing X-Man will do is doom them. 'Exactly' Pixie responds. 'What?' Armor asks her. Pixie points out that they are already doomed, that none of them are getting out of this place alive, so they can at least make sure that X-Man doesn't either. Armor looks over to where X-Man is still trapped in the tank and Pixie tells her that he is weak here, that they couldn't stop him in the other world, not even close, but they can here.
Armor looks at X-Man, before getting off of Pixie, who stands up and asks Armor if they have a chance to save their world, even if their lives are the price. 'But you want us to be killers' Armor remarks. 'It's not what I want...it's just what is' Pixie responds. Armor tells Pixie that she doesn't know that, and points out that they can talk to X-Man here, can convince him, as he is totally different, traumatized. 'You think going through hell made him less dangerous?' Pixie asks. Armor tells her that the point is they can't know one way or the other. 'You're talking about something we can't ever come back from. And we don't even know it'll work' she adds. Pixie narrows her eyes and asks Armor if she thinks they can take that risk. 'You're willing to bet the whole world on that? You're willing to be that wrong? All for what? Because you don't want blood on your hands? I honestly thought you were a better soldier than that' Pixie tells Armor, who looks down and asks if they are at war. 'I can't believe you even doubt it' Pixie remarks, before announcing that if Armor can't do it she will do it for her. 'No, you won't' Armor replies as she knocks Pixie back against a wall, pointing out that killing is something you can't come back from, that it is with you forever.
Rockslide and Glob are still trading punches and kicking each other. Rockslide gets in a good punch, and then a kick, which sends Glob flying backwards. Rockslide pins him to the ground and tells him that he never stood a good chance. 'I'm indestructible' Rockslide points out as he holds a hand tightly around Glob's neck. Glob coughs as he points out that is the mistake everyone makes when fighting Rockslide. 'But I'm not just everyone...so how about you eat me!' Glob exclaims as he shoves a fist into Santo's mouth, which causes Santo to go wide eyed as flames light up around him. Armor goes over to them and tells Glob to stop. 'Oh God. I – I'm sorry, Santo...' Glob utters as he pulls away, horrified at what he has just done. Rockslide coughs and splutters as he sits up.
Armor walks over to the tank where X-Man is still trapped and realizes that she has been so angry with the X-Men, but she can see much more clearly now. She adds that none of these decisions are ever easy, there is never a true “right” and “wrong”, not really. She presses a button which opens the tank, causing the fluid in the tank to spill to the floor and freeing X-Man. Armor remarks that every problem has angles, every solution shades of gray. 'I'm sorry Nate...but Megan is right. If there's even a chance of you getting back to our world and destroying it...then I can't risk it' Armor announces as she forms blades at her fists and tells X-Man that he has to die here and now!

Disassembled, part 8
The Age of Apocalypse, where Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor has thrown X-Man to the ground, telling him that she is sorry, but if his life is really the price to pay to save their world, then she can no longer fight it – he has to die. She punches him with her force field and tells him that she thought they could find another way, but it's too late. Armor continues to punch X-Man as her teammates Megan Gwyn a.k.a. Pixie, Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide and Robert “Glob” Herman look on. 'Oh God. It's really happening' Pixie utters. 'This... it's not how I imagined it' Rockslide remarks, while Glob tells the others that this can't be right.
On Prime Earth, Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm electrifies Magneto, the Horseman of Peace, with a powerful lightning bolt and tells him to stop this madness, that with X-Man gone, surely he can regain control of his mind and can end this fight. 'No' Magneto responds. Storm tells him that is a pity, and that without his “messiah” she would have thought they could count on him to see reason. Magneto states that X-Man may be temporarily removed, but that his dream lives on, and they will see it through. 'You will fall' he tells Storm. 'So be it' Storm responds as Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler teleports around Blob the Horseman of Bounty, and Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23 leaps towards Omega Red the Horseman of Wellness. Storm fires another powerful lightning bolt at Magneto, while Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman joins in the fight against Omega red and asks if appears to anyone else that even though their master disappeared, these Horsemen seem the same amount of evil. 'Yes' X-23 tells him, while Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball throws a punch at Omega Red and Warren Worthington a.k.a. Archangel hovers nearby. Iceman tells the others that it makes him wonder why they are still evil, and Nightcrawler agrees, 'A little bit' he remarks as he punches Blob hard in the face.
Archangel fires some metal blade feathers at Omega Red and tells him to give it up, that X-Man is gone and with him their purpose. 'Can you not feel that?' he asks. Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris drops down behind Omega Red who remarks that all he can feel is a great hole where one there was purpose. 'You are responsible for that' he tells Archangel. Archangel remarks that he wishes he didn't understand how Omega Red feels, but the fact is, it means nothing. 'It's over. You're done. All of you!' he calls out, while Polaris traps Omega Red in a magnetic field and tells him that he should listen to Archangel, because he knows of what he speaks. X-23 approaches Blob with her claws at the ready and tells him not to make her do this. 'Do what? What kind of damage can a bootleg Wolverine with only four claws manage?' the Blob replies as he slams his fist into the ground around X-23, attempting to knock her back. X-23 growls and raises her claws in response.
'Is Legion alive?' Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke asks as she, Jean Grey and Lucas Bishop walk over to where Legion's body is slumped against a wall. Jean kneels beside Legion and reports that he is, but his mind is sort of shut down, that she can't reach him at all. Betsy attempts, but she can't either. She suggests to Jean that they could combine their efforts, but to be honest she is more concerned with where the kids are – Armor, Pixie, Rockslide and Glob were just here and were trying to talk sense into X-Man, and now they are all gone, she doesn't feel them anywhere. Jean adds that it is the same for Nate, X-Man, there is just nothing. Bishop asks if they are dead, to which Jean tells him that if it were that simple there would be bodies, but with Nate, he's so powerful he could be hiding from them – but all five of them disappearing and the Horsemen seeming confused by his disappearance makes her think that he is really gone, but she isn't sure to where and why.
Jean reports that she and Betsy will work together, trying to break into Legion's mind. 'It's all bloody disconcerting' Betsy remarks, when suddenly, 'You can say that again, Betsy' a voice calls out. Jean, Betsy and Bishop turn and look over to where Kitty Pryde is phasing through X-Man's large citadel. 'Kitty! You're here? Are you all right?' one of them asks. Kitty tells them that she has been better, but then again, she's been worse, too – including five minutes ago when she was powerless and tied to a chair and acting as part of an ill-advised council to X-Man. 'Council? I don't understand' Jean remarks, to which Bishop asks Kitty if X-Man kidnapped her so that she could advise him. 'I knew not all his dogs were barking... but that seems especially bizarre' Betsy declares. Kitty reveals that it gets weirder, as she wasn't the only one X-Man had. 'He also had Senator Allen here' Kitty points out as she helps Senator Ashton Allen from the citadel. 'And... well, there's no way to put this one delicately...Apocalypse' Kitty adds as the uber mutant steps out of the shadows!
At the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, protesters are still picketing the X-Men's home, as a reporter states that some celebrate while others mourn the destruction of the Xavier Institute, home of the X-Men. She continues, reporting that the tension here is palpable as New York State legislature debates the merits of introducing a new vaccine that will effectively eradicate the mutant x-gene. The report is watched by Victor Borkowski a.k.a. Anole, who goes wide-eyed as the reporter asks if they are close to the end of the era of Homo Superior. 'Anole?' a voice calls out. 'Feeling better?' Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast asks, to which Anole replies that he is still a little sore, but getting there. 'Good' the Beast tells him, walking over to where Anole is sitting on the edge of the bed in the medlab, Beast informs him that they need to talk. 'Sure, what can I -?' Anole begins, to which the Beast frowns and tells Anole that he knows what he did. 'I'm...I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?' Anole asks, but the Beast tells him not to make this any more awkward than it is already by lying to him. The Beast informs Anole that he has footage from his labs, and he knows Anole stole the vaccine he had been developing – he wants to know why.
Back outside X-Man's citadel, 'Apocalypse!' Bishop shouts as he readies energy blasts, while Jean asks Kitty if she is okay. Apocalypse tells Bishop to put his weapon down, as they have bigger problems at the moment, so their rivalry will have to wait. 'Yeah, I'm still getting used to it too' Kitty remarks, before Betsy announces that they are in Legion's head. 'And we're not alone' Jean reports. 'Oh my...' Betsy gasps as Jean informs the others that they have found the younger X-Men, Armor, Glob, Pixie and Rockslide, only they look different. 'They're trapped inside Legion's head in some sort of... it looks like...' Jean begins. 'Hell' Betsy suggestions. 'Literally, they're in X-Man's home? The place he was created? It's a lab... Mr Sinister's... but he's gone... it's...' Jean begins as Bishop declares 'It's the Age of Apocalypse'.
Bishop explains that it is an alternate timeline created by Legion, that he has been there and hoped he would never have to return, but they have to save those kinds from that hell as soon as possible. 'Betsy, can you -' Bishop begins, before Kitty interrupts him, 'One moment' she starts to say, but Bishop tells her that he doesn't think she understands how traumatic that world is – they can't leave them there another second. Kitty tells Bishop that she does understand, but that they need to consider the situation before they act too quickly. She adds that none of them were able to contain X-Man, none of them could stop him, and right now, he's contained. Storm drops down near Kitty and points out that they are just children. 'Our children' she adds. 'So is Legion. And so is X-Man' Kitty remarks. Kitty declares that right now they are facing a world that wants them dad – the vaccine will wipe mutants out, so they can't have Legion and X-Man – the literal children of X-Men – running around, acting like gods  and destroying whatever little goodwill the world still has towards them. 'Since we now have them incapacitated...we need to figure out how to solve this problem properly. The kids can buy us time. They're X-Men. They'd understand' Kitty remarks, while Storm frowns at her.
Bishop asks Kitty if she is insane, to which Kitty tells him that she doesn't like it, either. She adds that she has seen what X-Man can do – he's more powerful than he's ever been before, and they don't stand a chance against him – so at least this way they have time to make a plan. Apocalypse remarks that Kitty is not wrong, that there is no way she and the X-Men could defeat him. 'You have a chance to destroy both Legion and X-Man. And yet you are incapable of doing what needs to be done to ensure your own victory... a minor sacrifice for your own survival' Apocalypse points out, before raising his voice, he declares that he must do it for them: 'XAVIER'S CHILD MUST DIE!' He then leaps forward towards Legion, 'NOOOO!' Bishop shouts as he fires a blast of energy towards Apocalypse, while Storm readies a surge of lightning, and Jean and Betsy stand over Legion. 'Stop, Bishop!' Kitty calls out as she runs after Apocalypse. Jean causes a wall to collapse on Apocalypse. 'You ungrateful, ignorant swine -' Apocalypse remarks, while Jean tells Kitty that they can't do this – they kids deserve their help. 'Your emotions will be the end of you' Apocalypse warns the X-Men.
Jean keeps Apocalypse back with a telekinetic shove, while Apocalypse points out that this is a war and casualties are to be expected, that the lives of a few whelps should not even register as a concern. 'Hold up...no! That's not what I was saying!' Kitty calls out. Bishop turns to Betsy and asks her to put him in Legion's head, but Betsy tells him that she doesn't know if, or how that would work. 'I need you to try it' Bishop declares. 'Those kids... they need us' Bishop points out, while Betsy watches Jean telekinetically flip Apocalypse upside down. Bishop warns Betsy that if they don't do it now, they are dooming the kids to an eternity in that place – and that isn't something he would wish on his worst enemy. 'It's a bad place, Betsy. They don't deserve a fate like that' Bishop adds. 'Okay...' Betsy replies, before shoving a psionic blade into Bishop's head and through into Legion's head.
Back in the Age of Apocalypse: 'I'm sorry, Nate. But this ends now. GRRRAAAH!' Armor calls out as she is about to deliver the fatal blow to Nate Grey – until a voice shouts 'NO!' and Armor is knocked back by a powerful blast of energy. 'I can't let you kill him, Armor' Bishop announces as he appears. 'Bishop! Oh my God! We're saved!' Pixie gasps. Glob exclaims that he knew it – he knew that someday the X-Men would come for them. 'Umm...where are the rest of the X-Men?' he asks. 'You want to explain it to them or should I, Bish?' Armor asks. 'What're you on about, then?' Pixie asks. Armor tells her that there are no other X-Men, no rescue, it's just Bishop. Pixie tells her to quit lying, but Armor tells her that if she doesn't believe her to ask Legion how much the X-Men take care of their own – or Magik, or Kitty or Havok or Rogue. 'That's what we never understood back home. None of us. The X-Men are soldiers. And soldiers fall. We are lost X-Men' Armor remarks. Bishop frowns as he informs Armor that not everyone was ready to lose her yet. 'But enough were that you came along, right?'
'But enough were that you came alone, right? We've been in this hell for almost a year and -' Armor starts, but Bishop informs her that it has only been five minutes. 'Five...how is that...all we've done. What we've had to do to survive...' Armor utters, narrowing her eyes. Bishop tells her that he is sorry, and that he knows what it is like here. 'Then you understand why we have to kill X-Man. If he ever made it back he'd do something like this to -' Armor starts, but Bishop interrupts her, telling her that she doesn't. He knows Armor has seen the worst of humanity and mutantkind, but tells her she has to rise above that, that she can't let it change her, there are always other options than murder. 'That's rich coming from you. Is that what you tell yourself every time you see Hope?' Armor replies. 'You...you're not changed...' X-Man remarks as he gets to his feet and walks towards Bishop. 'He isn't changed! This isn't real. None of this is real' he remarks. X-Men decides that Bishop is smarter than he looks, which he supposes isn't hard.
Energy surrounds X-Man as he looks around himself and discovers Legion standing nearby. 'You made this! It's not real! We're in your subconscious!' he realizes. Legion tells Nate that he is sorry, but that it is the only prison that can hold him. 'I am the master of minds! You think you can hold me?' X-Man asks. 'I do' Legion responds as a brilliant light shines around him, he remarks that Nate will find that his mind is a little more complicated than what he is used to. 'Do you really think you're the first super-powered child to throw a tantrum in here?' he asks, motioning to the psyches around him that resemble various super heroes, 'We are Legion' Legion boasts. 'I know what you are, David. But I'm afraid you have no idea what I am' X-Man responds as his powers begin to harm the psyches around Legion, 'Wait! Don't -' Legion begins. 'Your father failed you. To soothe your broken mind he told you that there is a real you buried in there. He told you the mind is the self. What you are. I know the mind is but a tool. And tools can be taken away' X-Man declares, announcing that this is his mind now, as Legion appears to go blank, frozen in place.
X-Man drops back down to the ground where Bishop and X-Men students are gathered, 'Umm... what the hell is happening?' Rockslide asks. 'Why are they having a staring contest?' he enquires as X-Man and Legion look at each other. 'This is bad' Bishop remarks. 'How bad?' Armor asks, before Glob announces that he doesn't feel so well and is surrounded by energy.
Back in the true reality, Betsy is keeping watch over Bishop and Legion's bodies while Jean continues to keep Apocalypse at bay, as suddenly, the X-Men students re-materialize nearby. 'Hold crap! Are we home?' Pixie asks. 'This is real? We're normal again?' Rockslide asks they all look at their bodies, 'We changed back...' Glob remarks. 'We're home! It's amazing!' Pixie calls out, while Glob hangs his head and mutters that he didn't want to change back to this. 'What does your return here mean? Tell us how you defeated X-Man, children. Speak now' Apocalypse declares as he appears behind Pixie. 'Holy crap! Apocalypse!' Pixie gasps. Betsy tells Bishop that she is shuffed that this all worked out, but that she has had it with mucking around in her teammates' heads. Bishop tells Betsy that he didn't do this, that X-Man did, and they need to figure out where he went right now. Jean looks up, '“Where” indeed' she remarks, as a figure appears nearby, energy rising around them, the figure is a combination of X-Man and Legion, who exclaims 'Your plan to destroy your god has failed, X-Men, now it's your turn!'

Disassembled, part 9
'Did you think that would work? That you could contain me inside Legion's mind? That you could send me to the Age of Apocalypse and leave me... not just me... but children... your own students... to die in that place?' Nate Grey a.k.a. X-Man asks, his mind and body merged with Legion's. Energy darts around him as he angrily tells the X-Men that he tried, he tried so hard to give them what they wanted – he tried to shape the world into something that could be better – but for that, they tried to destroy him.
'I tried to work with you, X-Men' he adds, while Multiple Man asks what is going on, and why Legion sounds like that – and when did he get a tattoo, referring to X-Man's tattoo on his chest. 'That is Nathan, you idiot. We tried to trap him in Legion's mind, but he's too powerful. He took over Legion's mind instead' Northstar explains. 'An omega-level mutant in the driver's seat of another omega-level mutant... sounds great' Iceman mutters as he, Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde and Apocalypse gather nearby.
'What the hell?' Multiple Man calls out as X-Man suddenly telekinetically pulls him over towards him, 'But the truth is... I don't need you' X-Man declares, while Polaris, Cannonball and X-23 gather behind him. 'Don't do this, Nate' Kitty calls out as X-Man holds Madrox in a headlock. Storm stands nearby, poised, while Madrox asks for some help. Kitty tells Nate to let Jamie go, that they can talk about this without anyone getting hurt. 'You. Tried. To. Kill. Me' Nate snaps, while Madrox grits his teeth and utters' Guys, for real. He's got a crazy-tight grip' he mutters, before Nate raises a fist, 'Like I said, I do not need you anymore. I'm inside Legion's head and know what he did to Madrox' Nate reveals. 'Come on! No! This is why I didn't want to stay here!' Madrox tells everyone, while X-Man explains that all he needs are soldiers. 'All I need are Jamie and his duplicates' he adds as he slams a fist into Madrox's face – but nothing happens.
'What?' X-Man asks, confused. 'Why isn't he duplicating?' X-Man asks as he repeatedly punches Madrox in the face, harder and harder with each thrust. 'STOP IT, YOU MORON! It won't work because I'm not Jamie Prime!' Madrox suddenly reveals. Madrox reveals that Jamie Prime took one look at what was happening here and jumped in a rowboat to get off this damn island. 'If I had to guess, I'd say his cowardly ass is already back on the mainland getting smashed in the first bar he could find' Madrox adds. 'Surprise?' he asks, looking up at X-Man, who scowls and fires a blast of energy at Madrox, knocking him backwards. 'I don't think I've ever been more grateful for Jamie Madrox's incompetence' Storm remarks. 'Who knew that being a coward would pay off?' Kitty asks, before X-Man unleashes a surge of energy at his Horsemen of Salvation – Magneto, Blob and Omega Red. 'What's he doing to them?' Kitty wonders, as X-Man orders his Horsemen to attack, and to her surprise, Kitty turns around and sees that Storm has been transformed into one of the Horsemen of Life as well. 'Oh my God, X-Man has Storm!' Kitty calls out
Magneto, the Horseman of Peace, knocks Bishop backwards, while Omega Red, the Horseman of Wellness, wraps his carbonadium coils around Northstar, Polaris and X-23. 'Get your tentacles off me, you pale, slimy bastard!' X-23 exclaims, slicing his coils with her claws. Apocalypse and Senator Ashton Allen look on as Blob, the Horsemen of Bounty, leaps towards Nightcrawler, Rockslide and Glob Herman. 'Enough!' Betsy shouts as she rushes towards X-Man, her psi-blade at the ready, 'Psylocke! No!' Jean Grey calls out, before X-Man easily knocks Betsy aside. 'Please...you have not seen what I'm capable of' X-Man declares as he flies up above the battle, announcing that he has been patient and benevolent, that he only sought to create a world where mutantkind could finally be at peace – but he sees now that is not possible – that the X-Men have always been, and will always be, all too eager to cut off their own noses just to spite their faces. 'That you can only find peace in chaos' he remarks.
Glob finds himself at the mercy of Blob, who tries to squash him, while Polaris flies towards both Storm and Magneto, as X-23 cuts herself free from Omega Red's coil, Nightcrawler punches Omega Red in the face as Pixie hovers nearby. 'So die knowing that you brought this upon yourselves' X-Man declares angrily. As Magneto knocks Polaris to the ground, Iceman blasts him with some ice-spears. Cannonball flies straight into Blob, while Jean helps Betsy up and asks her if she is okay. 'Been better' Betsy responds, watching as Kitty Pryde runs from Storm, she points out that they can't keep this up. 'We have them outnumbered...but they have us outpowered' Betsy adds as the students Armor, Pixie, Rockslide and Glob rush to Kitty's aid, turning to face Storm, while X-Man continues to glow with energy – which he suddenly releases, knocking Polaris, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Bishop, Jubilee and X-23 away.
Jean Grey places her hands to her head as she begins to release a psychic message: 'If you can hear this... we badly need your help. For the fate of the world... to me, my X-Men!' Jean's call reaches across the globe, touching the minds of Dazzler, who is creating a light show somewhere, and Honey Badger who is running with Jonathan the Unstoppable. Nature Girl and Eye-Boy who are together, and Sunfire, who flies through the air. M is punching something when she receives the message, while Transonic is flying across a blue sky. Rictor is with Dr Cecilia Reyes when they both receive the call, while Goldballs and Triage are together, too. Maggott hears the call, as do Mercury, Trance and Match. Meggan and Kylun are together when the call reaches them, while Genesis glances sideways as the call touches him. Forge is in a lab when he receives the call, and Loa and Indra are together when they hear the call. Frenzy is fixing a car somewhere, while Husk and Magma are together, and Tempus is in Sydney, Australia. The Stepford Cuckoos receive the call as does Surge, who is unleashing an energy blast. Shark Girl and Bling are together when they get  the call, as are Gentle and Trinary. Finally, the call reaches Firestar.
Jean Grey turns to Pixie and tells her that she needs her for something important if they are to have any hope of turning this tide. Pixie informs Jean that she can't teleport, to which Jean asks her if X-Man is presenting her from doing so. 'Yeah... or at least I think so' Pixie replies. Jean watches as Betsy punches the Blob, and X-23 is once again fighting with Omega Red. Jean informs Pixie that they have to split X-Man's focus and break his concentration – they need a distraction – a big one. 'We volunteer' Armor calls out as she, Rockslide and Glob approach Jean. Jean looks at them, skeptical, but Armor tells her that they have a plan. 'I don't know, Hisako' Jean responds, to which Armor tells her that they can do this. 'Okay. Do it. But be carefull...all of you' Jean announces. 'I think “careful” has left the building, Jean' Armor replies as she extends her force field around Rockslide and Glob, using it in the shape of a large ball, they run inside it, forcing the ball along the ground. 'Tell me this plan again, Armor' Rockslide asks. Armor explains that she needs them to fight with all they have got – once she absorbs them, she needs the two of them to protect her.
'Wait, you're putting them in here? With us?' Glob asks. 'Hell yes, I am!' Armor responds, to which Rockslide tells them that it was nice knowing them both. 'Yes it was' Armor agrees as her force field ball rolls into the Horsemen – trapping Storm, Magneto, Blob and Omega Red inside. Armor tells Glob and Rockslide that they need to keep the Horsemen off her for as long as they can. Omega Red tells the X-Men that they are insane and that they have just doomed themselves. 'Free us or die, children!' Storm warns them.
'Now!' Betsy calls out as she, Bishop, Nightcrawler, Northstar, Cannonball and X-23 rush towards X-Man. 'This is it! Everyone at once, don't stop!' Bishop shouts, while Jean turns to Pixie, who reveals that she feels it – X-Man has left her head. Jean tells Pixie that they have to hurry, that they don't know how long the others can keep this up. Jean places her hands on either side of Pixie's head, explaining that she will guide her, she asks Pixie if she sees. 'Yes' Pixie responds.
Inside the medbay within the remains of the Xavier Institute, the Beast approaches Anole and asks him if he is ready to tell him why he gave away the mutant vaccine. 'You wouldn't understand why' Anole replies. 'Try me' the Beast tells him, asking if someone made him do it. 'I don't know what to tell you, sir -' Anole begins, as the Beast raises his voice, 'DON'T LIE TO ME!' he shouts, gritting his teeth, the Beast asks Anole to tell him somehing that will justify this betrayal. 'Do you even realize what you've done?' the Beast asks, explaining that this is only the beginning, the beginning of something he created being used against them – and they can never unring that bell. Anole stands up and assures the Beast that he knows exactly what he has done – he has given some kid like him out there hope – he has made it possible for other kids like him...to not have to become him. 'Monsters. Outcasts. Hunted. Feared. Alone. I've given them a chance. I've given them a choice' Anole declares. The Beast hangs his head and assures Anole that he understands all too well why he might feel that way, but that he can't afford to be that naive. 'Sir?' Anole asks. The Beast turns his back on Anole as he informs him that he hasn't givern mutants a choice – he has handed the government a weapon. 'I can only being to imagine how they'll use it against us. You wanted freedom but instead you've shackled us, my boy' the Beast remarks, before Pixie teleports in and tells the Beast that he is needed. 'We're ready' the Beast responds.
Back on Quadra Island, Apocalypse watches the battle. 'Ridiculous children, playing with their toys, a fruitless pursuit' he remarks, before turning, You think to sneak away, little man?' Apocalypse asks Senator Ashton Allen, who glances up at Apocalypse, nervously remarking that he doesn't belong here, and that he wants to go. 'Truer words, Senator Allen. And I do not just mean X-Man's failed experiment he called a “council”. A laughable endeabor that mattered not at all and ends now with your pointless death' Apocalypse frowns. '...no, please' Senator Allen gasps, while Apocalypse raises a fist and tells the Senator 'You should thank me. From the looks of what is to come at the hands of these spoiled “grandchildren of the atom” this will be quick and painless by comparison' Apocalypse declares, but as he brings his fist down, it passes through the Senator. 'Hold your breath, Senator' Kitty remarks as she phases the Senator, and then they both vanish down into the ground. They emerge, several yards away from the battle, the Senator gasps for breath, and asks Kitty why. 'You saved me after everything I said. Why?' Kitty looks down at him and tells him that it is what  X-Men do. 'We're heroes. For everyone' she declares as she walks away from him.
Inside Armor's force field, 'I surrender! I surrender!' Glob shouts as the Blob's hand is wrapped around his neck. 'You already made your choice, fool. Now you pay the price' Blob exclaims, while Rockslide screams as Magneto holds him in a magnetic grip and enquires whether he ever stopped to ask if perhaps his skin contains trace metals. Armor finds herself strangled by Omega Red's carbonadium coil, while Storm hovers in front of her and tells her that they don't want to kill her, so she should drop the shield so they can return to the real battle – and they will spare her life in return. '%&#$ you' Armor exclaims in response. 'Don't be another child willing to die for the X-Men. They never cared about you' Storm utters as she moves in closer, lightning crackling around her hands – before Armor drops the force field and instant later. 'I knew you were a smart little girl' Storm remarks as she takes flight, while Armor clutches her own strangled neck.
'To me, my Horsemen!' X-Man calls out, as Horsemen gather around him. 'Nate! It's over! Time to end this!' Jean Grey exclaims. X-Man frowns and responds 'That's a very profound choice of words, mother. I couldn't agree more'. Therev is a rumbling, as the very ground around the X-Men begins to shake, and suddenly breaks apart as the island begins to sink. X-Man extends a protective dome around himself and his Horsemen, while water rises around the X-Men. 'He's trying to beat us with a flood?' Kitty asks, wide-eyed. 'No...he's moving tectonic plates! I think he's trying to sink the continent!' Nightcrawler remarks. 'I don't think he's trying!' Iceman mutters. 'Stop him now!' Kitty shouts. Polaris and Bishop begin firing energy towards X-Man, but his force field blocks the attack. 'This world rejected my teachings...it made me question what I know to be true. But now I see the problem was not with my wanting to save the world. The problem is the world itself' X-Man remarks decides, announcing that he will end all of the problems at once.
'Nate! Please! Don't do this! I'm your family! The X-Men are your family! Let us help you!' Jean pleads with Nate, who flies towards her and knocks Northstar, Bishop and Polaris backwards. 'The X-Men were my family. And you turned your back on me long ago. Same as you did to Legion' Nate tells Jean. 'You grew scared of us. Scared of the power birthed from your loins'. The energy around Nate grows in intensity as he exclaims 'We were your next step, your next evolution. The grandchildren of the atom. But just as humanity felt about what came from them that they could not control, you hated and feared us. Your sons'. Nate pushes Jean into the water and holds her head under, stating that he never understood his name – why was he singular? But he has been shown now – for him to exist, he must be the last of the X-Men. 'I am the final incarnation of the dream of all mutants. I am the omega. And before I end, I must end the X-Men' Nate remarks. Suddenly, a voice calls out 'It's quite the soliloquy, but I think you missed something. If you want to beat the X-Men...' the Beast begins
Nate glances sideways, he goes wide-eyed as he sees a gathering on a nearby chunk of land – the Beast is there with Dazzler, Colossus, Forge, Maggott, Bling, Genesis, Kylun, Dr Nemesis, Magma, Sprite, Pixie, Beak, honey Badger, Nature Girl, Firestar, Transonic, Meggan, Surge, the Stepford Cuckoos, Sunfire, Oya, Cypher, Thunderbird, Gentle and Trinary. '... you have to beat all the X-Men!'

The Return of Cyclops
Several weeks ago:Muir Island, where the rain beats down, and the sea crashes against the island cliffs. The gravesite of Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops is pounded by the rain, too – when suddenly, there is a rumbling, then a powerful burst of optic energy breaks up through the ground, opening the grave. There is silence, only the rain continues to fall – then a hand reaches up from the open grave – and Scott Summers pulls himself out. 'How...?' he utters.
Several years ago – a promise made:Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Scott Summers walks down a busy city sidewalk, wearing a green suit, he can't believe that he managed to sneak away from the mansion for a little vacation time. He isn't sure what it is, but something has been drawing him to Cambridge, a voice inside his head, nudging him to come here. 'Oh my!' someone on a bicycle suddenly calls out. 'Get out of my way, you fool!' another exclaims as he bumps into Cyclops, pushing past him. 'Oh my Lord! What is that thing?' a woman asks, pointing towards where a large robot is stomping through the city, roaring. A fire is ablaze at a nearby building as dozens of civilians run in fear. 'Run for your life!' one of them calls out. 'There are people still inside!' another exclaims. 'Oh my God, oh my God' one of them mutters, while Cyclops announces that those people may need help. He starts to remove his suit, revealing his X-Men costume underneath, and knows that he needs to hurry, before the monster brings down that school on their heads.
'Please, that thing is attacking the science lab! There are people in there!' a woman calls out. Cyclops tells her not to worry, and to get herself to safety, while he make sure her friends get out of their in one piece. Cyclops arrives near the robot and fires an optic blast at it, telling himself that he needs to distract the robot and get him away from the building. 'Hey, ugly! Just because you don't have no class doesn't mean you've got to wreck the school!' Cyclops calls out to the robot, who turns towards  him and starts to give chase. 'That's right, follow me!' Cyclops calls out, while firing more optic energy at the robot.
Nearby, a middle-aged man wears a strange metal helmet and watches, annoyed: 'That meddling mutant is going to ruin my chance at revenge!' he exclaims, before calling the robot Straggon and ordering it to stop the mutant, to crush him into powder. Straggon stomps the ground, knocking Cyclops off his feet. 'That man... he's controlling the robot. If I can stop him, then maybe I can end this' Cyclops thinks to himself as he looks over at the man nearby.
Cyclops dodges the robot, Straggon, as it lunges at him, and thinks that he can't save anyone if this robot pounds him into a pancake. He moves closer to the other man and asks him what his game plan is here. 'I was their best professor until they decided to shut me out!' the old man responds, claiming that the students were afraid of his big ideas, so they went to the dean and had him fired. 'They ruined my life! He shouts. 'They took my job and took my lab! Everything I ever cared about!' He boasts that now it is time for him to return the favor, that he will destroy their lives like they destroyed his. 'They didn't destroy your life! Your pettiness did!' Cyclops declares as he fires an optic blast which strikes the professor's helmet, knocking it from his head, and, just as Cyclops thought, the robot, Straggon, falls to the ground with a loud crash. 'Without him to control it, the robot is nothing more than a heap of scrap metal' Cyclops remarks as he looks over at the professor, who lies on the ground.
Shortly, a police cordon has been set up and the professor is led away, while a police officer shakes Cyclops' hand and tells him that some of the other fellas on the force think mutants are a menace – but there is no denying that if he wasn't here today, these kids wouldn't have made it out of that jam alive. 'Just doing my duty, officer' Cyclops responds. Several students rush up to Cyclops, one of them thanking him, one of them exclaims that he thought they were goners for sure. 'Man... Professor Tierney was off his rocker!' a young woman declares. Another of the students remarks that this is a shame, as he was so smart – if only he tried to do good with that big old brain of his. A fourth student, a young man with brown hair and glasses approaches Cyclops, and thanks him, before admitting that he was the one who ratted on ProfessorTavin Tierney to the faculty. 'It was me he was after. You saved me' the young man utters. He then informs Cyclops that his wife and he are expecting their first child. 'If he'd killed me... if I hadn't gotten home to her... to them... I... thank you' he utters, throwing his arms around Cyclops, hugging him. 'You're welcome' Cyclops smiles as he hugs the young man. Tears fall down his face as he introduces himself as Paul Douek and tells Cyclops there is ever anything he can do to repay the favor, to look him up and let him know.
Ten years later – a favor repaid:Boston, Massachusetts, in the dead of night, 'Where'd the rest of those leftovers go?' a man with brown hair, wearing a singlet mutters as he looks into the refrigerator. 'You need to cut out the leftovers, Paul. You're getting a little soft around the middle' a voice calls out. 'Who...? I'm calling the police!' Paul exclaims as he turns and discovers the young man known as Cable sitting on the bench nearby. Cable introduces himself and informs Paul that he isn't here to hurt him, he just needs his help. 'Also, I've cut your phone lines. And disabled your alarm system. You're not calling anyone' Cable adds. Paul is quick to tell Cable that he has a wife and a kid, that he can take whatever he wants, but to not hurt his family. Cable ignores that as he reminds Paul that ten years ago, Cyclops saved his life, and tells him that it is time for him to return the favor. Cable looks at a strange piece of red equipment that appears to be broken.
'What... what is this? And how... I mean... what does this have to do with Cyclops?' Paul enquires. Cable explains that this is a Phoenix cage, or what is left of it, that the Avengers built it in an attempt to contain the Phoenix Force, only it didn't survive the encounter, and he needs Paul to build a new one. Paul looks at the equipment and remarks that it looks very complex and there is a lot of it missing. 'What makes you think -' Paul begins, before Cable points at him and tells him that he knows about him, that he was top of his class at MIT, one of Tony Stark's sharpest employees. 'I picked you for a reason' Cable adds. 'Trap the Phoenix Force...is that even possible?' Paul asks, looking under the cage. Cable tells him that he doesn't know, and that it doesn't matter, as he doesn't need to trap the Phoenix Force – all he needs is for Paul to build something that can siphon off a small portion of the Phoenix Force that is willingly running through it.
'You've got about two years to figure it out' Cable adds as he climbs off the kitchen bench. 'Oh. And it has to be smaller' Cable announces. 'How much smaller?' Paul asks. Cable holds his thumb and index finger about an inch apart: 'This small' he declares. 'See you in two years' Cable remarks, before he vanishes, bodysliding by one. 'Wait! Wait... not, there's no way -' Paul calls out, but Cable is gone. 'Great' Paul mutters.
Two years later – the first time Scott Summers died:Muir Island, where the rain beats down on a group of X-Men gathered to mourn the loss of Scott Summers. Cable – the older one – is there, along with Magik, Iceman, Forge, Goldballs and Beast. The time-displaced Marvel Girl, Iceman and Angel are there, too. Storm addresses them and remarks that life as a mutant sometimes feels like a constant fight for their species' survival against impossible odds. Watching from behind some rocks on a cliff nearby are the younger, time-displaced Cable, and Paul Douek, who utters 'He's...really gone'. 'Yeah' Cable replies. Paul remarks that he knows that recently Cyclops had really gone off the rails, and people hated him. 'But...I always had hope, you know? Hope that he'd somehow come to his senses. That he'd...he'd remember who he was, that he would wake up one day and be the same kid who saved my life in college'. Cable tells Paul that they don't have much time, before they vanish as Cable bodyslides by two.
They re-appear inside a dark lab on Muir Isle, where the body of Scott Summers has been placed on a table. Paul is confused: 'If he's still here, then who are they burying out there?' he asks. 'Another of Emma Frost's mind games' Cable explains, declaring that Emma has perverted Cyclops' memory and used it to incite a war between mutants and the Inhumans, and now, she isn't even giving him the dignity of a proper burial. 'Let's get this over with' Cable suggests, as Paul opens a bag and pulls tiny device from it. 'And you're certain this'll work?' Cable asks. 'No' Paul replies. He pulls Cyclops' shirt down and reminds Cable that the Phoenix Force destroyed the Phoenix cage, that he tried to account for the extra surge of power, but there was no way for him to properly test it. 'In theory, it should work... however, it could just as easily overload and fail. Depends on the intensity of the Phoenix Force' Paul explains as he slices a scalpel down Cyclops' muscular chest. Cable holds up the small device that Paul took from the bag and remarks that last time the Phoenix Force was trying to protect itself. 'This time... it will be giving itself willingly'.
Several months ago – the second time Scott Summers died:'I thought about you every single day' Jean Grey utters to Cyclops, the two of them embracing. Jean wears a black and red Phoenix costume. They lean into kiss, and this sparks the small device inside Cyclops' chest, a small portion of the Phoenix Force entering the device. 'I'll always love you, Jean Grey' Cyclops vows. 'I'll always love you too, Scott Summers' Jean responds, when suddenly, Cyclops gasps for breath and collapses, while the Phoenix Force hovers above he and Jean, and the device inside Cyclops' chest begins to glow.
Several weeks ago:Scott crawls from his grave, into puddles that form on the ground around him. 'Welcome back' a voice calls out. Scott looks up to see the young time-displaced Cable standing over him. '... Dad' Cable adds, while Paul stands nearby, and the shocked Cyclops utters 'CABLE?'
Shortly, inside Cable's safehouse, which is at an undisclosed location, 'Thank you' Cyclops tells Paul, who hands him a cup of tea. 'It's...I don't know what to say' Paul replies, while Cable leans against a counter nearby. Paul smiles, 'When you saved my life all those years ago... I never thought I'd have the chance to pay you back. I still can't believe it worked'. Cyclops sips his tea and admits that he still isn't sure what happened, that the last thing he remembers is walking into the lab on Muir Island – and then he thinks he died – but Jean was there – only it felt like a dream. 'But it wasn't... was it?' Scott asks, looking over at Cable.
'The Phoenix Force brought you back in an attempt to convince Jean to stay with it' Cable explains, adding that Jean was too strong for it, though, and that she knew that it wouldn't let her be free. Paul informs Cyclops that they built a tiny machine made up of small infinity coils designed to siphon off power from the Phoenix force, to store the force, charging itself up until it could be focused. 'It's pretty ingenious, if I can be so bold' Paul adds. 'We built this device and put it...well...we...put it inside of you' he reveals to Cyclops. 'And... bam. You're back. Just like that' Paul points out. 'Thank you' Cyclops replies. Paul puts his hand on Scott's and tells him thank you, reminding him that he saved his life, that he has a wife and a son. 'If you hadn't saved me. I never would have been there for them. My son would never have known his father' Paul adds, tears streaming down his face, while Cyclops watches him.
One week later:Cyclops has ditched his black and red costume and is wearing his dark blue costume with yellow trim. 'I need to leave. I need to go see Jean' he announces, but Cable tells him that he can't. 'You can't keep me cooped up in here, Cable' Scott replies. He tells Cable that he appreciates everything he has done ofr him, but that he has been gone too long and has to go. 'You're not ready yet' Cable replies as he examines one of his large weapons without even looking at his father. 'Ready for what?' Cyclops asks, frustrated. 'You'll know when the time comes' Cable responds, putting his cloak on, he informs Cyclops he will be back, before bodysliding by one, and vanishing. 'Dammit!' Cyclops shouts, slamming his fists down on a table.
One week later:Outside the Lancaster Maximum Security Correctional Center, in Shirley, Massachusetts:'You're a free man now, Tavin. Hope we never have to see you inside these walls again' a prison guard calls out as the elderly Professor Tierney walks away from the prison. He sits on a bus that takes him to an old, run-down house. He stands outside the house and looks at it for some time, before walking inside. It's dark, dusty and full of cobwebs. He goes over to the door under the inside staircase. There is a padlock on it, but the lock is open. 'Daddy's home' Tierney calls out from the open door, which leads down to the basement. 'Did you miss me?' Tierney asks as he walks down into the basement, which is a mess, with computers, robots and other equipment scattered throughout. 'What...? Someone's been here' Tierney realizes, as he finds a note stuck to one of the robots – the note has Paul's name and address on it.
Back in Cable's safehouse, Cable hands Cyclops a rootbeer as Cyclops remarks 'You... you sent the younger X-Men back to their own time. I... it's like I experienced it. Like I was there' Cyclops adds, informing Cable that he has his memories now – his younger self. 'They never should have been here in the first place' Cable replies. 'And you... you killed Cable... your older -' Cyclops begins. 'No' the young Cable responds. He points a finger on the table and leans across to his father, declaring that he retired an older, less effective version of himself. 'The older me was screwing up. He let those kids stay here and the results could have destroyed the X-Men – destroyed entire futures. I prevented those possibilities, because that's my job'. Cable then knocks back his rootbeer and explains that he keeps the timeline in order.
'Then how come I'm not still dead?' Cyclops asks. 'Because...' Cable begins to reply, turning away from Cyclops. 'If you're so concerned with maintaining the timeline that you'd kill my son in order to fix it -' Cyclops begins. 'I AM YOUR SON!' Cable shouts, before he upturns the table, 'Because it wasn't right!' he exclaims, throwing his arms into the air. Cable covers his face with his hands as he tells Cyclops 'You're... you're their leader. Their hope. For you to die on your knees from a damned infection? From mist? That's not the way that it should have gone down. I couldn't let it end that way'. Cyclops watches Cable, then goes over to him, kneeling beside him, he tells him that he is right, and that given the chance to save someone he loved, then absolutely, he would have done whatever it takes. 'But you can't keep me here. What's the point in bringing me back if you're just going to hold me prisoner?' Scott asks. He moves away from Cable and points out that there are people out there who need him, so Cable needs to let him go. Cable looks up: 'Fine' he replies, before telling Cyclops that he needs him to prove something to him first.
Cable informs Cyclops that right now, the X-Men are fighting on an island in Canada – they are fighting the biggest threats they've ever faced, and they need all hands on deck – but if they fail, the X-Men will be no more. Cyclops frowns as he listens to this, while Cable tells him that in Boston, a madman is planning his revenge on Paul Douek – the man responsible for every bad thing that's ever happened to him, and the man who returned Cyclops to life. 'Saving one means failing the other. You have to choose' Cable announces. 'No' Cyclops replies, gritting his teeth. 'Then they all die' Cable points out. 'You did this?' Cyclops asks. Cable tells him to choose. 'Why would? You...?' Cyclops begins, to which Cable explains that he has to know what type of man came back from the grave.
On Quadra Island, Canada, 'I only sought to create a world where mutantkind could finally be at peace!' X-Man, in the body of Legion, calls out as he and his Horsemen of Salvation – Storm, Magneto, Blob and Omega Red – battle Jean Grey, Iceman, Archangel, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Jubilee, Armor and Glob. X-Man declares that he now sees that it is not possible, that the X-Men have been, and always will be, all too eager to cut off their own noses just to spite their faces, that they can only find peace in chaos.
In Boston:'Run!' Paul calls out to his wife and son. 'Dad? What's happening?' Paul's son asks. Paul calls his son Emmett and tells him that it is going to be okay, that he just needs to get to gthe basement, as Professor Tierney stands in the Doueks' living room, and declares 'Thirteen years! Thirteen years of my life, of my work, all lost because of you!' Paul starts to close the basement door, telling Emmett to look after his mother while he tries and leads them away. 'Dad, no...you can't...' Emmett calls out, but Paul tells his son that he needs him to be brave. 'All right...my family has nothing to do eith this. You leave them alone!' Paul calls out, armed with a firepoker, he turns to face Professor Tierney, who has a dozen robots at his side, and wears his strange helmet that enables him to command the robots. Tierney tells Paul that he is in no position to make demands. 'You stole from me, I'm going to do the same to you' he remarks, adding that he is going to make him watch as he does – make him suffer for what he has done. 'Robots. Bring his family to me' Tierney frowns, when suddenly, one of the robots of knocks aside by an optic blast.
'I won't lie... that felt pretty good' Cyclops announces as he stands in a gaping hole in the wall. 'Cyclops!' Paul gasps. 'Not you again' Professor Tierney mutters, ordering his robots to attack. 'You'd think after 13 years away you'd find a way to hide your weakness' Cyclops points out as he fires a blast at Tierney, knocking his helmet from his head. Tiernet falls to the ground, and Cyclops remarks that some people never learn. 'I can't believe it... you saved me again. Thank you' Paul utters. 'No, Paul. Thank you for bringing me back' Cyclops replies.
The next day, on the shore of Quadra Island, British Columbia. The flood has subsided, and Cyclops and Cable stand with the water lapping at their feet. Cyclops recalls that the X-Men's fight with the Avengers had its first punch thrown on a beach. 'Charles died...I killed Charles...on a beach. And now...the X-Men are gone. Vanished from this beach. If I never see another beach again for as long as I live...' Cyclops utters. He turns to Cable and tells him that he was furious. Furious that it looked like mutants were on the verge of extinction – angry that the world they had spent their entire lives trying to protect could try to snuff them out like that. 'After a life of trying to prove that we fit in. That mutants and humans could...should...live as one, I...I did the same thing that everyone I'd been fighting had done. Put my species above theirs. I became the monster they feared' Cyclops remarks, admitting that it was wrong, that he was wrong. He hangs his head and points out that now the X-Men are done. 'What are you going to do about it?' Cable asks. Cyclops looks out over the water, with Cable at his side, he announces that he is going to find the X-Men – and set it right.

Disassembled, part 10
Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada. 'Behind us, my Lord' Magneto, the Horseman of Peace tells X-Man, whose mind is currently housed in Legion's body. 'We'll deal with these heathens' Omega Red, the Horseman of Wellness declares. 'There is no reason for you to dirty your hands' Blob, the Horseman of Bounty adds, while Storm, the Horseman of Life, stands in front of X-Man. Water rises around their ankles, but X-Man tells his Horsemen 'No. If they truly want a battle...then they they shall have it!' he exclaims as he and his Horsemen confront the army of X-Men and allies that have gathered and race towards them. Storm knocks back Rictor, Mercury, Shark Girl, Forge, Magma and Dazzler with a gust of wind, as Jean Grey, Firestar, Cannonball, Northstar and No-Girl fly towards X-Man, and Kylun moves in from behind. The Blob looms over Nightcrawler, Genesis, Armor, Iceman, Kitty, Jubilee, Beast and Glob, while Psylocke and Bishop rush towards Magneto, who throws up a magnetic shield to protect himself from Archangel's deadly wing-blades, and Apocalypse and X-23 find themselves trapped in Omega Red's carbonadium coils. Honey Badger, Rockslide, Nature Girl, Colosuss, Oya, Pixie, Polaris, Thunderbird, Sunfire, Transonic and Meggan move in as part of the next wave.
'Ah got a clear path... gonna take this sucker down once and for all' Cannonball calls out as he blasts straight down towards X-Man, despite a telepathic warning from Jean not to. Cannonball assures her that he has it, and asks her to make sure the path is clear. Jean dodges a punch from the Blob, while X-Man looks up at the fast-approaching Cannonball and tells him that he surely knew it would not be this easy. 'But why should I expect more from a country bumpkin like yourself?' X-Man wonders as he releases a crackle of energy upwards, striking Cannonball before Cannonball can get to him – and sending Cannonball careening backwards away from the battle, past Glob, Armor and Pixie, who rush over to him, along with his sister, Husk. 'I'm here, Sam!' Husk calls out, while Armor points out that Cannonball needs medical attention. She looks at Pixie and instructs her to teleport him out of here. 'But they need me here!' Pixie responds as Colossus is knocked backwards nearby and Sunfire flies overhead. 'And Cannonball needs a doctor. Get him out of here and come right back' Armor tells Pixie. Husk tears off her skin, revealing a metallic layer underneath as she rushes back into the battle, 'Ah'ma make that son of a bitch pay for what he done to my brother!' she exclaims, while Armor assures Pixie that they will be sure to leave her a few dirtbags to punch up when she gets back, as Pixie teleports away with Cannonball.
Up above, 'You cannot win this fight, X-Men. Stop this foolishness and bow down to X-Man... before it is too late' Storm warns the X-Men as she releases a powerful wave of lightning that knocks back Rictor, Shark Girl, Prodigy, Mercury and Tempus. A hard rain then begins to fall. Surge fires a blast of energy at Omega Red, while Honey Badger clings to him, slicing away at his coils. Kylun growls as he cuts through a coil, and X-23 slices another one, telling the otherts to keep hacking away. 'Dude can't keep attacking with his gross tentacles if we've cut them all off' she points out. But more tentacles sporut, and Omega Red grins as he wraps several aroung Honey Badger. 'He's got more. He's got so many tentacles!' she exclaims. 'Yes, I've got eyes, Gabby' Kylun mutters as one of the carbonadium coils wrap around him. Another coil knocks Surge back, while X-23 continues to fight.
Jean Grey watches, and sees Polaris continue to fight her own father, Magneto, who knocks back Bling, Colossus and several others, while the Blob slams his fist into the ground, knocking Match and others backwards. Jean telepathically contacts Psylocke, the Stepford Cuckoos, Sage and No-Girl, asking them to join her, as X-Man is combining his powers with Legion's, so if they can work together, they might be able to separate them and shut them down. Jean's telepathic message reaches the others, informing them all that they need to buy her and the psychics some time. 'Go. We'll keep Blob at bay' Gentle responds as he and Sunfire fight Blob, while Sage runs from him, No-Girl at her side, Sage telepathically tells Jean that they are on their way, but she isn't sure how much help she will be, as her telepathic abilities are not on the same level as the rest of theirs. Jean reports that X-Man is one of the most powerful telepaths she has ever encountered, and now that he has combined himself with Legion, they need every bit of power available to them.
The Stepford Cuckoos casually walk away from the battle, 'Figures that once again... the telepaths... have to save the day' they remark. From beneath a magnetic dome where Polaris continues to battle her father, she tells the Cuckoos 'Let us hope you're half as capable as you think you are'. As the telepaths gather, Betsy tells Jean that they need to stop Storm, that she doesn't think they stand a chance of stopping this if they can't break X-Man's control over Storm. 'She's destroying us' Betsy adds as the weather worsens, while X-Man knocks back Dr Nemesis, and Iceman helps Eye-Boy up. Jean tells Betsy that they will try their best to combat X-Man without her, but she understands that they need to stop Storm, they need to break Nate's hold on her. 'But -' Betsy begins to say, while Jean asks her to promise that she will hurry back to her, as they are going to need all hands on deck. 'I...' Betsy utters. 'Hurry' Jean declares. The rain drenches Betsy, who raises her psychic sword and shield and rushes off, announcing that she will return, while telepathically calling out to Archangel, informing him that she needs his help. Archangel looks down at Betsy and scowls.
The telepaths rush over to X-Man, and under Jean's instruction form a perimeter around him as he hovers above them. Jean tells the others to focus on joining their powers together, when X-Man suddenly notices them. 'Jean... mother... must you keep pushing? Why can you not accept that this is what must be? I tried to be the son that you wanted. Tried to be the one to usher the X-Men into  the next age. But you've shown me that it's a journey I must make alone' Nate remarks, looking down at Jean, who looks up at him, the rain beating down on her. 'That in order for mutantkind to evolve, we must first destroy our past' Nate explains. Jean tells Nate that he has forced their hand here, and reminds him that they tried to talk him out of this. She announces that she is sorry it has come to this – she truly is. Jean, Sage and the Stepford Cuckoos all close their eyes as they and No-Girl begin to concentrate.
Up above: 'Thank you, Warren' Betsy remarks to Archangel as he flies her towards Storm. Archangel tells Betsy not to thank him just yet, as Storm may very well vaporize her. 'Yes. That has occurred to me' Betsy replies as she drops from Archangel's grip, straight down towards Storm, where she lands on Storms back. Betsy tells her friend that she is sorry, and that she does this for the good of all – and believing it is what she would have wanted. Before Storm can react, Betsy plunges her psychic sword into Storm's head, and a look of distress falls across Storms' face. Nearby, Apocalypse attacks Magneto, while Storm starts to screams, and when Betsy retracts her psychic sword both she and Storm plummet to the water below. Archangel looks shocked as he sees Betsy fall, then swoops down and grabs both Betsy and Storm before they fall into the water. Archangel drops down onto some nearby land, exhausted from his life-saving act. Betsy groans as she comes to, and looks down at Warren, who sits up as Storm suddenly gets to her feet and declares 'This violation of my mind will not go unanswered, X-Man!'
Betsy explains to Storm that zshe has to go join Jean, as they are trying to separate X-Man from Legion – together they are just too powerful. 'I shall help' Storm responds, lightning crackling around her, she grits her teeth and takes flight. 'Oh God. Will she be all right?' Betsy asks. 'Who knows?' Archangel replies as he looks up at Storm and remarks that being transformed against your will by a god who makes all his desires your own is not easy to recover from. He points out that Storm seems to have found her rage, though, which is good for her. Archangel then takes flights without saying anything else to Betsy. 'Warren...' Betsy utters, before she gets a telepathic call from Jean Grey, who reminds her that they need her. 'I'm coming, Jean' Betsy responds as she makes her way through the rain to where the psychics are gathered. Betsy telepathically links to the psychics and informs Jean that she thinks Storm is about to do something bloody stupid, but that it might help them. 'All in together now' Jean tells the other psychics as they concentrate hard.
Suddenly: 'YOU THINK YOURSELF A GOD, X-MAN?' Storm shouts as she appears above X-Man, lightning darting around her, she focusses that lightning and directs an enormous amount of it at X-Man, striking him hard as she screams 'I HAVE BEEN A GODDESS LONGER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN ALIVE!' At that same moment, 'There. There it is. We have him' Jean tells the other telepaths, as they find X-Man's mind inside of Legion's body and and tear him from it with their powerful psychic strength, causing both X-Man and Legion to scream. As Legion falls to the ground, Betsy looks over to him and reports that he is free, unconscious but alive. Betsy then tells the other telepaths not to stop, that they have X-Man on the ropes, before she goes wide-eyed, 'Wait! Where's Jean...?' she asks, a look of horror falling across Betsy's face as she realizes that Jean is trapped inside X-Man. 'We've lost her' Betsy utters.
'Where – oh no' Jean Grey utters as she finds herself surrounded by pure whiteness. As she looks closer, she can see the battle playing out as shadowy gray figures. 'Hello, Jean' a voice calls out, and Jean turns to see X-Man standing before her. Jean asks Nate if this is how he sees the world – above it all. 'Pop psychology is beneath you, Jean' Nate replles. 'I would have thought it was beneath your mind, Nate, but here we are' Jean points out. Jean adds that this isn't her mind, it is Nate's, so she is only commenting on what she has found – which is he, removed from everyone else – like someone trying very hard to play god. 'And how would playing god look different than being god?' Nate asks, before telling Jean that if it bothers her, he can make this world whatever would make her feel comfortable. He creates a small rainbow and tells Jean that all she needs to do is ask.
Jean tells Nate that what would make her comfortable is he ending this face, coming with her and beginning to set right all the damage he has caused. She adds that together they could set much right. 'I'm sorry, Mother. That's not going to happen' Nate responds, before turning from Jean and walking away. Jean follows him and tells Nate that this can't be what he wanted, as he is a good man. 'How could you know that?' Nate asks. Jean tells Nate that she has been absent for so much of his life, she knows that, and she is sorry. She adds that if Cyclops was alive, he would say the same thing – they weren't there ofr him when he needed them. 'But that doesn't change the fact that you became a good man on your own. But now you're hurting people -' Jean begins, to which Nate interrupts her and declares that he is doing something that Jean and her X-Men never could – he is saving this world. 'You're so sure?' Jean asks. 'Yes. I am' Nate responds.
Jean asks Nate how it came to this, and suddenly the light around them turns gray, as Nate explains that they evolved, he evolved to be someone who could change things, to remake the world as he saw fit. 'Why wouldn't I?' he adds. Jean tells Nate that he sounds like Apocalypse. 'Don't be naive. He is a tyrant and a lunatic. Just because we understand the same truth doesn't make us the same person. It's our actions that matter' Nate declares, adding that some men like to pretend they are gods, while some just are. He extends his arms over his head and white lights fill the gray space around them. 'Don't think I don't know what it means to be a god, Nate? You think I don't know what it takes to make decisions that feel inconsequential to you but ruin other lives?' Jean asks. 'You speak to me of the Phoenix, like I too am blinded by some fiery god -' Nate begins, to which Jean interrupts Nate, telling him that she speaks of her own actions, the pain she caused when she was one with the Phoenix – like the pain he is causing now. 'Let me show you' Jean suggests as she reaches across and puts a hand on Nate's head, linking him to the tragedies taking place around the globe as a result of his recent actions.
'We're getting through! Don't let up!' Dazzler calls out as she, Maggott, Frenzy and Nature Girl close in around X-Man. 'Get me close enough to put my hands around his throat!' Frenzy snaps, while Nate suddenly keels over, 'So... so much pain...' he gasps.
At that moment:'What is...' Magneto utters as his Horseman guise falls. Omega Red reverts to normal, too, as does the Blob. 'Where the hell am I?' Blob wonders. Magneto throws a force field around himself, Blob and Omega Red and remarks that it seems they have been acting on behalf of another without their knowledge – and the arrogantly named X-Man is the cause of that. 'I don't want any part of whatever the hell this is' Blob mutters, while Omega Red clenches his fists and declares that X-Man is unwell. 'Be that as it may, I would like to show X-Man the error of attempting to manipulate Magneto. You are welcome to join me' Magneto announces.
'Enough, Mother! Please!' Nate pleads, clutching his head. Jean cuts off the link and tells Nate that they are gone. 'Did you think I never knew people suffered? That people would be hurt?' Nate asks. 'I think you didn't understand it' Jean tells him. Nate reminds Jean that his who life has been suffering, that he was raised in a world that had only cruelty, that he came here and found it to no different. He adds that he has been trapped between two, slowly being torn apart – and as his last act, he only wanted to make something better. 'Last act?' Jean asks. Forlorn, Nate looks at Jean and reveals that he is dying, and that he wanted to do something good before he goes. He holds up a Life Seed and and explains that is how he is here – it increased his powers. He adds that at first he thought it came to him, to save him – but it didn't. He is still dying, he can't save himself, which makes him wonder why it gave him this much power if not to save himself. Jean embraces Nate and tells him that she doesn't know. 'I never wanted to hurt people...' Nate utters as he hugs Jean.
The battle against Nate's physical form continues, 'I guess Magneto and us are on the same side now?' Iceman asks as he blasts X-Man with an ice-beam. 'As we used to say back home – the enemy of my enemy' Colossus responds. 'Is that the whole expression?' Iceman replies as Magneto, Blob and Omega Red fight alongside them. Kitty asks Betsy what is happening, noting that Nate released his hold on Magneto and the other Horsemen for some reason. The reason is Jean. She's in X-Man's head' Betsy responds, adding that if the others tear X-Man apart now, she is not sure Jean will make it back out. At that moment, Oya, Iceman, Magneto, Bishop, Surge and Sunfire release their powers at X-Man, who surrounded by a psychic force field.
Nate hangs his head as he tells Jean that he must be here for a reason, and that if he wasn't given this gift to save himself, there must be a reason – he can't have been given all this power to do nothing – he knows he can't save himself, but he thought he could save the world – that was his purpose, he never wanted to make people suffer. Jean tells Nate that she knows, but that even he can't save everything. 'We must do our best, but sometimes we have to just let it go, Nate' Jean replies. Nate tells Jean that to bring peace, sometimes there must first be suffering and asks her why she doesn't understand that. 'Everything I tried to do, the world fought back...you fought back'. Nate points out. Jean tells Nate to just let it go, but Nate tells Jean that she doesn't understand – and he clearly sees what he has to do. 'I can't save the world. Not when you people will always stand in my way...I can't make this into a world where the X-Men belong. Goodbye, X-Men' Nate declares. 'Nate! Don't! -' Jean calls out, but as a large group of mutants including Beast, Colossus, Forge, Monet, Blob, Firestar, Storm, Archangel, Armor, Glob, Gentle, Nightcrawler, Thunderbird, Trinary, Tempus, Meggan, Polaris, Rockslide and Apocalypse close in on X-Man – and then everyone is blown away as X-Man releases a powerful energy blast.
When the dust clears, the flooded island glows red as the sun sets. Nate collapses on the shore, and the water washes over him – then he is gone, and all that remains is the Life Seed.
And just like that, they were all gone. Nobody knew exactly what happened. And nobody really cared. All that mattered was everything he had done – everything everyone had done was undone. The world was returning to the way it once was, like nothing had ever happened – save for one small difference – the X-Men were dead. Religious sites are rebuilt, oil rigs returning to function and soldiers are re-armed. The world celebrated the death of those they had always hated and feared – history books were already being rewritten to erase the role of the X-Men. Senator Allen had a change of heart and publicly reversed his anti-mutant position, but it was too little, too late – the world had had enough. They had had enough of Homo Superior, enough of mutant rights and mutant liberation – enough of the men who called themselves gods and enough of the ones who stood against them.
The world had had enough of the Children of the Atom, and enough of those children's children. Laws were passed to make sure never again would families have to suffer the tragedy of having a mutant child. A figure in a blue hooded sweater watches a line of civilians standing outside a hospital as he reads a newspaper article about the disappearance of the X-Men. The anti-mutant vaccine has been put into immediate circulation. The age of mutants was coming to an end, not with a roar, but with a deafening silence. The man in the hooded sweater tosses the newspaper into a trash can and thinks to himself that he can't help but think that someday, maybe years from now, people will realize what they all lost. 'We just wanted to save the world from itself' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops tells himself.
