Son of Apocalypse - part 2
Sabretooth stares at Holocaust and asks him what kind of game he is playing. Holocaust grins and tells Sabretooth that this is no trick. If they put aside their differences, then they can get rid of the Timebroker and take back their lives.
Blink looks at Sabretooth and asks him if he really is going to fall for this trick. Sabretooth, however, is doubtful that Holocaust is lying. Why would he come here and talk instead of just attacking when he had the element of surprise. Angry, Holocaust tells the Exiles that he did not attack, because he needs their cooperation. They all have the same problem. He has been in this situation less than a day and he finds it intolerable. Don’t they want to make the Timebroker pay for enslaving them? “Yes,” says Namora, bitterly under her breath.
Holocaust reasons with Sabretooth and reminds him that he could barely stand to serve Apocalypse. How can he serve the Timebroker? Behind them all, a security agent of the Bureau of Mutant Affairs contacts his superiors and informs them that Holocaust is outside the building, with Magneto’s former associate, Sabretooth, and four unknown mutants. Holocaust asks the group if they just stand around, while the humans call for reinforcements. Mimic pops his claws and tells Holocaust that, considering how many people he has murdered, maybe they should continue this conversation with him behind bars.
Suddenly, several tanks and armored troops arrive to arrest Holocaust for crimes against humanity. If he does not submit to an inhibitor collar, then he will be executed on the spot. Holocaust asks Sabretooth if he is satisfied allowing things to get this far. Holocaust then prepares to kill the troops, but Mimic attacks him with an optic blast to stop him. Mimic then lunges at Holocaust with his claws, but Holocaust bats him away and sends Calvin flying down the street.
Blink calls out her lover’s name, but Sabretooth tells all the Exiles to stop. Blink objects, but Sabretooth tells her to stand down. Morph, however, refuses to allow Holocaust to hit Mimic without payback, so he and Namora both rush to attack the son of Apocalypse. Holocaust tells Sabretooth to put a leash on his Exiles, as he grabs Morph and restrains him. He then slams Morph into the ground, as Namora throws herself on Holocaust’s helmet. She asks the man if she can crack him open like a lobster. Annoyed, Holocaust tells her to settle down, as he is not here to fight them. He then raises his gun to Namora and tells her that it would be most unfortunate for him to kill her.
Namora falls back, as Holocaust turns to Sabretooth. What he proposed earlier is true. The M’Kraan crystal is the key to this all. Sabretooth asks what the crystal does. Holocaust explains that it is the nexus of all realities. They have all visited their share of alternate realities - the crystal is what links them all together. He first saw it in his father’s tower. Even Henry McCoy could not comprehend what it was. Later on, it transported McCoy and himself to a parallel Earth, where the Beat told him of the reality-bending properties of the crystal. McCoy planned his jump between realities by teleporting inside the crystal. If they can recreate what the Beast did, but set the destination to match the Tallus’ frequency, then they can take the Timebroker by surprise.
As Mimic returns, Namora becomes reluctant to listen to Holocaust. Does he really plan on surprising the Timebroker, who can apparently monitor all of space and time? How does Holocaust not know that the Timebroker is listening right now? Holocaust tells her that perhaps the Timebroker is listening and will head off his every move, but nothing will stop him from trying. Afterwards, if Sabretooth wants a rematch, then they can have one. However, let them deal with the threat to both of them now.
Morph questions whether the mission given by the Timebroker is true. If the X-Men succeed in their mission, while the Exiles run around on a wild goose chase, then this world is doomed. Blink, however, wonders if Beak and Heather are at the Timebroker’s mercy and if this is their only chance to save them. Sabretooth smiles and tells Holocaust that he has a truce. He has wanted to get his hands on the Timebroker for twenty years now. Sabretooth asks Blink to teleport them all out of there, before some nervous army soldier shoots by accident and causes a mess. Blink asks Mimic if he is okay, but Cal just wonders who put Sabretooth in charge.
The Exiles teleport away but, before heading to the M’Kraan crystal, Holocaust asks Blink to take them to the Yucatan. There, they find a laboratory that McCoy didn’t even tell Apocalypse about. The Exiles find themselves in a deep crater of what used to be a mountain. Now it is partially filled with water, along with the remains of an old lab. Holocaust tells the group that McCoy’s most secret experiments were conducted there. Sinister was considered the master geneticist, but the things McCoy bred down there would even curl Sinister’s hair. McCoy claimed that he kept his secret notes down in the water in his lab. In those notes is everything he knew about the M’Kraan crystal.
Namora swims deep into the water and explores the area around her. She swims through the wreckage and spots several tubes containing some of Beast’s still living experiments, such as the Power Pack, who are all merged into one. One tube is cracked open and empty, with the label “Tiger Shark” on it. Namora is then attacked by the genetically altered Tiger Shark, but is easily able to defeat her opponent with one hit. She then finds the access hatch to McCoy’s lab.
Suddenly, the Timebroker appears by Namora and tells her that she is not a fool like the others. She conquered her own world and ruled it wisely. She knows the truth when she hears it. Namora looks at the Timebroker and then ignores him, as she uses all her strength to rip off the hatch. The Timebroker informs Namora that she has one more chance to stop Magneto before he confronts Sinister and destroys this world. Magneto and a few X-Men are arriving to the Yucatan as they speak. They think the Exiles are in league with Holocaust, though that really isn’t a stretch at the moment. Namora grabs McCoy’s notes, as the Timebroker tells her flatly that, if she kills Magneto, she saves the world. It’s that simple. Namora looks at the Timebroker.
Namora eventually returns to the surface, and Holocaust asks her if she found anything interesting down there. Namora tells Holocuast that what she found bored her to tears. She has it on good authority, though, that they are about to have guests. Suddenly, Magneto and Sunfire arrive behind the Exiles. Magneto tells Sabretooth, Morph and Blink that when he was sent a video of Holocaust and his henchmen attacking the Bureau of Mutant Affairs, he could not believe his eyes. The three of them were some of his best X-Men and now they are working with the son of Apocalypse. Morph raises his hand to speak and quietly notes that he is referring to a different Morph. He is not from these parts.
Magneto asks the mutants if they have any last words before he wraps this whole base around them and kills them all. Holocaust is angry to see Magneto, but Sabretooth tells his former leader that this is not what it looks like. If he calls off Sunfire, then Sabretooth can explain all of this. Mimic, however, is not impressed and points out that only Sunfire is with Magneto.
Suddenly, Gambit pops out form behind and throws a few knives into Sabretooth’s back. Quicksilver speeds by and punches Blink in the back of the head. Mimic uses his speed to catch up to Quicksilver and compliments him on the cheap shot, before wondering if he is a backstabbing jerk in every reality. He then runs the speedster into a wall. Holocaust tries to shoot Magneto, while admitting he thought he wouldn’t get the chance to fight him before leaving this world. Magneto is confused on Holocaust’s meaning and asks him where he has been all year.
Wherever he was, states Sunfire, Holocaust made new friends. Sunfire then sends a blaze of fire after Namora, who dives back into the water. Sunfire begins to boil the water to get Namora out. Concerned, Mimic slams his body into Sunfire and knocks him out of the sky. Nearby, Morph turns into a jockey and rides a horse around to dodge Gambit’s attacks. Morph asks Gambit why he is using blades instead of cards. Does he not play poker in this reality? Gambit tells Morph that he does not know if Holocaust brainwashed him or if he just forgot whose side he was on, but Gambit admits that he never found the man funny.
Gambit then blasts a piece of wall above Morph, which lands on top of him. Gambit rushes forwards to kill Morph, but finds that he accidentally knocked Quicksilver to the ground instead of Morph. Gambit stops his attack, but his blades explode in his own hand. Quicksilver then change back into Morph, who quotes a line from the Dukes of Hazzard, though he bets that show does not exist in this reality.
Nearby, Sabretooth shakes Blink to wake her up, as Holocaust faces off against Magneto. Holocaust recalls being interrupted the last time he battled the master of magnetism. He prayed to be able to finish the job. Magneto shudders to think whom Holocaust prays to, but suddenly Namora flies out of the water and, with one good punch, shatters Magneto’s helmet and knocks him to the ground!
Holocaust tells Namora that he did not need her help, but then orders her to get out of the way as she is blocking his shot. Angry, Namora asks Holocaust if he wants to know how she knew Magneto and the X-Men were arriving. It is because the Timebroker told her. He begged her to kill Magneto, which is exactly why she won’t do so. Holocaust is shocked to hear this revelation. Namora holds up McCoy’s journal and tells the villain to remember why they came there. They are trying to depose the Timebroker, not carry out his orders. The Timebroker put Holocaust on this team, because he is a loose cannon. Will Holocaust prove the Timebroker correct?
Holocaust pauses for a moment, but then the Timebroker appears. He urges Holocaust to take the shot. Magneto murdered his father and now he is in his crosshairs. He will never get a better chance. Magneto slowly begins to recuperate and wonders who this Timebroker is. Holocaust stands down and agrees with Namora. He won’t give the Timebroker his satisfaction. He then asks Blink if she remembers the coordinates he gave her earlier. The Timebroker yells at Holocaust and tells him that he is trying to do him a favor. Blink tells Holocaust that she remembers, but it will take a few jumps to get there. Holocaust tells Magneto that they will finish their battle another day.
After Blink teleports the Exiles away, Magneto asks the Timebroker what is going on and why does he want him dead. The annoyed Timebroker tells Magneto that he could care less about him. Magneto asks him if he is in league with Sinister, but the Timebroker fades away and tells Magneto to go save his world. He has bigger fish to fry right now.
At the M’Kraan crystal, Blink asks Holocaust if he knows how to work it. Holocaust tells her that he does not have to. He then calls out for his captive scientist to come out of hiding before he comes looking for him. The scientist comes out and shows him that he stayed like he promised. Holocaust won’t hurt his family, right?
Holocaust shows the scientist the Tallus on Sabretooth and explains that it is a communications device, some sort of inter-dimensional transponder. The Air Force’s scanners saw that the Tallus and his armor have the same frequency as the M’Kraan crystal. The man must scan the Tallus and he should find a second signal, which allows the Tallus to receive transdimensional messages.
Soon, the scientist believes that he has found the second signal. Holocaust gives the man McCoy’s journal and tells him that inside he will find Beast’s method for using the crystal as a gateway to other realities. He has one hour to replicate this experiment. Their destination is to the origin of the carrier signal. Blink is the one who will teleport them, so he should include her in his preparations. If the man fails, he dies.
Morph whispers to Mimic and asks if they really will let Holocaust kill the poor man. Mimic tells Morph that of course they won’t. Right now, though, he is more worried about why Blink is acting like she has never led the team since Sabretooth arrived.
An hour later, the scientist finished calibrating the machines, though he is in disbelief that he and his colleagues didn’t see the answer sooner. He exclaims over how McCoy’s notes were so clear and insightful as well. Blink bitterly tells him that it must make him almost forget that he was a sadistic murderer. The man turns on the machines and tells the Exiles that the crystal is set to the same frequency as the Tallus’ carrier wave. Mimic asks the man if he is sure. The scientist is. All that is left is for Blink to teleport them inside.
Blink is worried, as she tends to avoid blinking into solid objects. Holocaust tells her that they stand on the brink of freedom. Now is not the time for cold feet. Blink turns to Holocaust and tells him that she never backs down from a challenge. She fought him one-on-one once, didn’t she? However, if the scientists misinterpreted the notes even a little, then they are all going to die one very stupid death. Mimic takes Blink’s hand and tells her that it is a leap of faith, but he is there to take it with her.
Sabretooth takes Blink’s other hand, much to Mimic’s chagrin, and tells her that they have faced worse together and come through just fine. Let them take the plunge now. Blink pauses and smiles at the two most important men in her life, and then agrees. She then teleports the Exiles.
The Exiles emerge in what appears to be a crystal palace. Holocaust stands in awe and admits that this is not what he expected. Namora suggests that the Timebroker is hiding. Sabretooth sniffs around as the Exiles look around the pink crystal palace. Sabretooth informs the group that he doesn’t smell anyone. Well, no one human at least. “Curiouser and curiouser…”mutters Blink.

Timebreakers - part 1
The Exiles stand in the crystal palace, unsure of what to do next. Morph shape-shifts into the Timebroker and announces that if this is where the Timebroker really lives, then he gets an ‘F’ for décor. Then again, what would one expect from a guy who dresses like Mister Belvedere. Namora, however, is puzzled. She recalls being here before, back when the Timebroker first conscripted her for the Exiles. One moment she was in her throne room, the next minute she was in a place very similar to this crystal palace.
Morph shape-shifts into him sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper, as he sarcastically comments that the Timebroker grabbed him out of the throne room as well. Holocaust becomes annoyed and aims his weapon at Morph, wondering why they have to tolerate the shape-shifter. Sabretooth pushes Holocaust’s primary weapon away and tells him to take a number. He wants to hear the rest of Namora’s story.
Namora admits that there is not much to tell. The Timebroker was all alone there. He explained that she was unhinged from time and that she must carry out his missions if she wanted to return to her former life in her kingdom. Of course, she attacked him, but at that instant she was teleported to the other Exiles and emerged from an inter-dimensional portal with her new companions. She has been putting up with them ever since.
Blink speaks up and tells Sabretooth that she was never brought to a place like this. She, Mimic, Morph, Nocturne, Thunderbird and Magnus all materialized in a desert. Mimic continues the story and adds that once they were all there the Timebroker showed up and gave his speech to them about how they were unhinged from time, but it seemed like the first time he had gathered a group of Exiles. Sabretooth reveals that a similar situation occurred when Weapon X was formed. It was he, Deadpool, Kane, Maverick, Mesmero and Wolverine. However, they all materialized in an ocean. Soon, the Timebroker showed up in a houseboat, with a case of beer and his recruitment speech. Once they all realized that they could not kill the Timebroker, they agreed to jump realities and do the missions.
Holocaust explains that he was taken from a hero-infested version of Earth that he was stranded on since the Age of Apocalypse came to an end. He reappeared in front of all of them, and they all saw what little explanation he was given. However, they should find the Timebroker now and free themselves from their captivity before he realizes that they are in the crystal palace. The Exiles begin to walk down the steps and through a corridor. Mimic wonders where this place is. It is underground? Is it in space? Sabretooth whispers to the others and tells them to shut up. He will take point, while Holocaust takes the rear. From now on they will use hand signals. “Can ya read this one?” whispers Morph as he gives Sabretooth the middle finger.
The Exiles quietly march through the empty palace. Soon, they pass doorways, which seemingly lead to nowhere. They come across a part of the structure with video monitors on the walls. One screen shows the Silver Surfer flying over a burning facility, another shows the rampaging Hulk, while a third shows a six-armed Spider-Man terrorizing innocents. As Sabretooth passes by a screen with Thanos courting Death, he beckons for the Exiles to follow him. Blink, however, spots something that stops her in her tracks.
Blink, Morph and Mimic peer through a doorway, which leads to the desert where they first met one another. Morph wonders if it is the exit. Blink recognizes the desert from when they first met, though Morph comments that all extra-dimensional portals look the same to him. Namora approaches them and shushes them, for they have found something very important. She points ahead to the glass wall in front of them.
The Exiles are shocked to find that behind the glass wall are all the dead members of the Exiles and Weapon X, suspended in a watery substance. The group recognizes a few Weapon X members, such as Colossus and Maverick, the latter still having Captain America’s shield in his gut. Morph walks down and spots someone familiar. Blink realizes that it is Thunderbird, as the bandages on him are exactly the same as when they were forced to leave him behind! Mimic is disgusted and wonders if the Timebroker keeps his fallen soldiers as trophies. Morph, however, is distraught, as he finds the body of Sunfire between Iron Man and She-Hulk. He tells Mariko’s body that she deserves better than this and that he will see to it that she is buried at home.
Namora and Holocaust walk on and look at the fallen soldiers, spotting former Weapon X member, Vision. Suddenly, Sabretooth picks up a scent and walks over to a massive shattered hole in the gallery. Sabretooth is confused and wonders if this spot is reserved for one of them. Mimic, Blink, and Morph suddenly rush over to Sabretooth and tell him to forget about the hole. Doesn’t he see who are next in line?
The three Exiles look up to see Beak and Heather Hudson behind the glass in the gallery. Morph is saddened and asks if they are dead. Mimic pops his claws and tells Morph that there is only one way to find out.  Blink stops Mimic, though, and reminds him that it would be easier if she teleported the two out. Sabretooth, however, steps in and tells her that the two might be on life-support. Taking them off could kill them if they are not already dead. They need to learn more first. Mimic becomes angry and tells Sabretooth that Blink is the leader and he should stop second-guessing her. Annoyed, Sabretooth decided that Mimic could use a few less teeth.
Suddenly, Sabretooth picks up a scent and looks around. Mimic is confused and reminds the man that he is standing right there. Sabretooth tells Mimic to be quiet and asks if he cannot smell it. He orders everyone to duck into the next room as someone is coming. The Exiles do so, as something comes scurrying into the gallery, speaking in a unknown language. A short, fat brown beetle-like creature walks in with a handheld device and begins taking to itself in another language. It inspects the shattered hole Sabretooth found earlier and mutters something to itself. Sabretooth tells the fat bug to switch to English, because he will be begging for his life soon. With that said all six Exiles jump on top of the bug.
The group gets off of the down bug. Sabretooth admits that he shouldn’t have been surprised that the Timebroker was noting more than a stinkbug. The scared bug asks Sabretooth if he speaks the new tongue. Annoyed, Victor tells the bug not to play stupid games with him. He orders the creature to give them back their old lives now or they will squish him and they will figure out his equipment by themselves. The scared bug agrees to help, for he does not want to be squashed. The bug asks them to tell him what they mean by “Timebroker” and then he will help them. Angry, Holocaust aims his gun at the bug as Sabretooth told him not to play games or else. The scared bug tells Holocaust that he does not play games, for he is part of the working caste. If they tell him what they mean by “Timebroker” then he can help them.
Blink believes the bug, and Morph agrees that this bug may not be the Timebroker at all. Namora is relieved by this deduction, as it would be embarrassing if an insect enslaved the queen of Atlantis. Morph transforms back into the Timebroker and asks the little bug if he can show them the person in charge of this whole operation. He looks just like him. The bug apologizes, for he does not understand what Morph means by “in charge.” The Panoptichron is charged by ambient radiant quanta collected from adjacent solar clusters. Morph gets angry and wonders who taught this creature English. He then decides to put this in terms anyone could understand. Morph transforms into a green alien with tentacles and a ray gun and tells the bug to take him to his leader.
The working caste bug understands and decides to take the Exiles to the sovereign caste. The Exiles follow the creature down the hallway. Mimic begins to think that the Timebroker really is an artificial construct. The working caste bug does not seem to recognize the Timebroker’s image, so maybe they really do project it to interface with the team. Morph disagrees; however, as the Timebroker’s mean streak seems too personal to be artificial, unless he is an evil living computer. Holocaust does not care if the Timebroker is real or not anymore. This all ends today.
The working caste bug takes the Exiles to a locked door. He explains that the control room has been sealed now, which is very unusual. It has been off-limits for five-week cycles now. Sabretooth turns back and orders everyone to get ready in case the bug is leading them into a trap. Blink tells the little bug that he seemed surprised by their appearance. Aren’t there any sensors or cameras in this place to allow the sovereigns to know that they arrived?
The bug explains that the Panoptichron looks outwards all the time. Why is there a need to look inward? The bug then walks over to an access panel and explains that he must first announce their presence to request access into the control room. He is certain that the sovereigns will be eager to speak with them. Blink quickly yanks the bug away from the door and thanks him, but they will just announce themselves. She then asks him how thick the door is. Thirteen quat, responds the bug. Blink sighs and asks if the door is thicker than she is tall. No, replies the working caste bug. Blink stands up, determined, and announces that they are going to teleport in blind. “Do it, pup,” says Sabretooth.
The Exiles teleport into the control room of the building. The room contains many raised crystal platforms, all of which contain a monitor and a computer panel. In the center of the room in the air is a glowing orange ball of energy. On many of the platforms, however, are short, yet slender bugs with two arms and four legs. They are the sovereign caste. The sovereigns freak out at the sight of the Exiles and begin to run.
Namora screams that they cannot allow the sovereigns to escape. Sabretooth drop kicks one bug, but Mimic tells his teammates not to hurt the creatures, as they don’t seem to be fighting back. Blink confronts two sovereigns, one of whom tells Blink that they did not mean to harm her. They only wanted to help. This leaves Blink confused. Holocaust tells another that it is too late for apologies. He is about to smash the bug with his first, but Namora stops him. She refuses to allow anyone to die until they learn the truth.
As a door opens behind Blink, unnoticed by the girl, she tells the sovereigns to calm down and take them to the Timebroker. Where is he? Suddenly, a familiar and evil voice tells Blink that there is no Timebroker and, if there was, he would have killed him the minute he took over. Blink turns around in horror and sees her enemy. “That’s right baby…” says the villain, “…HYPERION.”
Holocaust stands unimpressed. Sabretooth as well does not feel threatened. Blink, Morph, and Mimic are taken aback at the sight of Hyperion, who is totally healthy and alive, the complete opposite of when they last saw him. Blink tells Sabretooth that Hyperion joined Weapon X after he left. Hyperion is absolute evil and he is… impossible to beat. Morph transforms into a chicken and realizes that things are bad if Hyperion is running the show around there.
Hyperion laughs and tells them that every last Earth in every universe that ever existed better get used to calling him “God.” Holocaust is tired of being pushed around and controlled and blasts Hyperion away with his weapon. He then charges his foe, much to the horror of Blink. Holocaust punches Hyperion, who was torturing them this whole time. Did he think he could enslave the son of Apocalypse? Holocaust then throws Hyperion into a wall.
Holocaust is about to deliver the finishing punch to Hyperion, when the evil villain catches the other villain’s fist with his hand. Hyperion says that he did think he could enslave the son of Apocalypse. It turned out to be a let down. He was to make things tougher for the Exiles, not work with them. Hyperion then catches Holocaust’s other arm, thus disabling his weapon. Holocaust tries to grapple, but Hyperion is too strong. Holocuast tells Hyperion that he cannot do this. He is Holocaust! He is a walking H-bomb!
Hyperion smiles and tells Holocaust that he knows exactly what he is. He read his file before he forced him onto the team. Holocaust is pure energy in a delicious candy shell. He is the kind of sunshine that he soaks up like a sponge. The son of Apocalypse should face it… Hyperion eats chums like him for breakfast. Holocaust screams in terror and denial as Hyperion head butts him and shatters his helmet. Hyperion then breathes in all the gas coming out of Holocaust’s containment suit; the gas that kept Holocaust alive.
Holocaust falls to the ground, dead. Hyperion stands atop the body and tells the Exiles that now they are going to have some real fun.

Timebreakers - part 2
Hyperion stands over the body of the dead Holocaust and tells the Exiles that he knows what they are thinking. How can Hyperion be in charge? They saw him die, didn’t they? Hyperion scoffs at the Exiles and at the idea that death would ever keep him down. Holocaust, however, is going to stay dead. He hopes, though, that the rest of them put up more of a fight.
Morph is left in shock that Hyperion just killed Holocaust with his nose. Arrogantly, Namora calls out to Hyperion and tells him that he may fear Morph, but the queen of Atlantis knows no fear. Sabretooth cracks his knuckles and agrees with Namora. He wants to take the fight to Hyperion. Blink, worried, tells Sabretooth that he wasn’t there last time when they fought Hyperion. He has no idea what the man is capable of. With that said, Blink teleports the group away to safety.
When they remerge elsewhere in the control room, Blink tells Sabretooth that he does not lead this team. She does. Going to-to-toe with Hyperion is suicide. They have to retreat and buy themselves some time. Does Sabretooth understand? Sabretooth pauses for a moment, and then tells Blink that she is the boss. Blink is happy to hear this and tells the group that she thinks she saw a place they could hide when they first got there. She then teleports the Exiles away again, as Hyperion smashes through a door in search of the heroes.
In a rage, Hyperion asks the sovereign caste where the Exiles are. He then threatens to hurt them if they helped any of the mutants escape. One of the sovereigns insists that they did not help the Exiles. In fact, the heroes teleported past the blast doors and are in search of a place to hide. Hyperion calms down, as he knows that there is only so far that the Exiles can hide in this place. He orders the sovereigns to stay put and to keep their hands off all the equipment. Hyperion then slams through the door, knocking over the worker caste bug that aided the Exiles earlier.
The sovereign peers through the hole in the door and asks the worker techdrone if Hyperion is gone. The techdrone confirms this and adds that he seemed eager to catch the Exiles. The sovereign helps the techdrone up and tells him to get closer, as he has important instructions for him. Hyperion has forbidden the sovereign caste from interfering with his hunt for the Exiles. However, he said nothing to the worker caste. The sovereign then tells the techdrone to go to the stasis gallery and awaken the operative who can save all the multiverse. Does the techdrone know who it is? “Yes, sovereign,” replies the techdrone, in awe of what soon will happen, “I know.” The sovereign tells the techdrone to hurry, as the Exiles cannot occupy Hyperion long before he kills them all.
Elsewhere in the Panoptichron, Mimic asks Blink where she is leading them. Sabretooth asks if she is trying to get them back to the room they arrived in. Blink tells them all to shut up, so she can concentrate. Everything in this place looks the same to her. Suddenly, Hyperion catches up behind the Exiles and overhears Blink. He tells her that it is a pain. He got lost all the time his first couple of weeks there. Sabretooth stops and turns and orders the Exiles to fight. Blink, however, orders everyone to gather around her. Hyperion flies straight towards the Exiles, ready to kill them all. Blink, however, teleports the team at the last second, causing Hyperion to crash into a wall.
Hyperion pulls himself out of the wall and screams that Blink is seriously getting on his nerves. The Exiles reappear not too far behind Hyperion. Blink whispers to the others to maintain formation. Sabretooth asks Blink if this is her great plan. Does she really want them to just keep on teleporting away from Hyperion? Blink tells Sabretooth that it isn’t the plan. They are almost where they need to be. Namora’s attention is called to a doorway, though, which leads to an ocean.
Namora wonders what the place is. Sabretooth recognizes it as the place where he and Weapon X first met the Timebroker. Blink admits that this is not what she is looking for, but perhaps Namora should stay here for her safety. Morph becomes sad and transforms part of his head into a sign saying, “Don’t Desert Us.” Namora tells Blink that she does not abandon her friends. Blink accepts this, but informs Namora that she won’t like where they are going next. Blink then teleports the group.
The Exiles emerge in a desert. Namora is horrified and tells Blink that she could have least have warned her. Blink apologizes, but this was the only place she has seen since they arrived there. They have room to operate in this desert, as well as to hide and think. Sabretooth turns to Blink and asks her what she means by “hide and think.” He thought she had a master plan. Blink tells Sabretooth that he has never faced anyone like Hyperion before. He can beat the Hulk without breaking a sweat, and she thinks he could probably beat Apocalypse. The fact that they still live is a major victory.
Sabretooth tells Blink that all this may be true, but all she has done is delay the inevitable. Blink asks him what other options she had. They cannot stand fight the man and they cannot leave him running this place. No one in any reality would be safe. Morph turns into an ostrich and sticks his had into the sand. He asks Blink what their next move is. Blink spots Hyperion pass by the doorway and tells Morph that they will think of a strategy to take down Hyperion, while she distracts him.
Hyperion spots the Exiles through the doorway and approaches them. Mimic asks Blink to allow him at least to stay and help her. Blink, however, turns around and teleports all the other Exiles away, telling Mimic that she wants him to live. Hyperion calls Blink clever, but reveals that he read her file and knows her limits. She doesn’t know her way around the crystal palace yet, and thus she couldn’t have transported her friends there. The Exiles must be scattered around the desert. That isn’t much of a long-term strategy.
Blink tells Hyperion that a stalemate is the best she can do, since the only thing she can match is his speed. Hyperion asks Blink if she thinks she is really faster than his flash-vision. Blink, however, is confident that if Hyperion could use his powers on her he would have already. He knows she would just turn them back on him. Hyperion smiles and recalls how that went down last time he fought her. He congratulates Blink, for in five separate realities, she was the only who managed to beat him.
He killed every hero who stood up to him. Why would he think a girl with a pointy rock to fare any better? He should have done his homework on her, but after conquering two worlds he was a bit cocky. She then added insult to injury when she let Gambit deliver the killing blow. The blast took him out too at least. Hyperion tells Blink that he always hated Gambit.
After their last fight, the Exiles went on their way to another reality. The cleanup soon began in the destroyed area where the battle was. That should have been the last that anyone would hear from him. Some folks, however, don’t know when to leave well enough alone. It turns out that the sovereign caste has to retrieve any bodies left behind once a world is fixed. They mentioned something about the bodies being a risk to further damaging the time stream. All the dead Exiles and Weapon X members were taken back to the crystal palace. The bugs might feel guilty or perhaps sentimental, but for whatever reason they display every recruit that did not make it to the next mission. It’s their hall of shame.
However, Hyperion continues, they never had a recruit like him. They didn’t understand how his body worked. Hyperion admits that he does not fully understand his body either. He was truly dead when the bugs sealed him up in the stasis gallery. However, every cell in his body is like a battery. He probably soaked up all the daylight that was being emitted by the walls of the palace, and whatever pieces of him that were missing began to grow back.
The worker caste was alerted that he was regenerating and informed the sovereigns. Unfortunately, he was recovering at an exponential rate. By the time the bugs realized what was occurring, it was too late. He broke free from the stasis gallery and went on search for the Timebroker. However, one of the sovereigns revealed that there was no Timebroker at all. Hyperion did not believe the bug at first, but the bug insisted that the Timebroker was only a simulacrum. The Timebroker is only something they use to interface with the Exiles and Weapon X members. He may look real to them, but he is no more real than the desktop on a computer.
Blink stands bewildered at Hyperion as she takes this all in. She tells her foe that the story was fascinating, but why is he telling her all this. Hyperion tells her that the first Earth he lived on was a bad place to be when he was taken. He conquered that world, but the humans who lived there didn’t give up without a fight. They nuked the entire planet. When it all ended, he ruled a planet of dust. There was no one to rule or kill. He does not want to be alone like that again. The bugs in the crystal palace are lousy for a conversation. In fact, this talk with Blink is the best conversation he has had in a while. Should they keep talking… or does he have to kill her now? Blink tells Hyperion to keep on talking.
Elsewhere, the techdrone reaches the stasis gallery and begins snoop around for the one he needs. He spots several fallen members such as Mesmero, Wolverine, Thunderbird and Sunfire. He then finds the savior. The techdrone presses a few buttons on his handheld device and the stasis gallery opens and releases… Beak!
Beak falls to the ground, weak but alive. He asks the drone what happened to him. The techdrone apologizes to “Exiles-casualty-six,” but he has no time to recuperate. He must depart immediately. Beak is confused and asks the bug what he wants him to do. The techdrone announces to Beak that he must fulfill his destiny of course. He is Beak! It falls to him to save the multiverse!
Back at the desert, Hyperion tells Blink that the area goes on for miles. In the end, though, it’s just a big room. More like a pocket dimension in the crystal palace. There is another room down the hall with an ocean in it. He figured the bugs could not have built this place and sure enough they admitted that they did not.
The bugs are explorers who found this place sitting outside space-time itself, abandoned. The palace is an observatory that looks out at all other realities. It is called the Panoptichron; however, he just calls it the crystal palace. The bugs were born scientists. They learned how to use the equipment and soon explored other realities. They only wanted to map the worlds, though. The bugs are genetically non-violent and couldn’t hurt another thing if they wanted. In other words, they are pathetic.
It turned out to be a cosmic joke that, just as their travels became routine, they did something that cracked up all of creation. He isn’t sure how the bugs ruined things, but they apparently didn’t understand the equipment like they thought they did. Fixing the realities they damaged was going to be nasty. They could not do it themselves, so they chose six individuals from other realities to do it themselves. They concocted a story about the broken realities being naturally flawed and they even invented the Timebroker to sell the story. In truth, though, the Exiles and Weapon X were just cleaning up the mess of the bugs.
Blink then realizes that was what the Celestials had meant earlier when they warned her to watch out for the Timebreakers. Hyperion hears this and laughs at the name, calling the Celestials brilliant. He tells Blink that the bugs had whatever was coming to them. Now he has reached the real point of his story. Once he knew what this place was he knew he had hit the jackpot. He will dominate any reality worth bothering with. However, he does not want to do it alone. The Exiles know what is at stake. They know the grandeur of his accomplishments. That is why he is offering them this chance one last time.
Blink scoffs at Hyperion and is surprised that he would even ask them to join his side. Hyperion smiles and tells her that he is not asking her to join him. He knows what her answer would be ever since he read her file. He is asking her teammates, who have been sneaking closer to them through the dunes ever since she teleported them away. His ears don’t miss much.
Hyperion calls out to Namora, who conquered her own world before joining the Exiles, to join her. He calls out to Sabretooth, who knows the satisfaction of a good kill better than most. He calls out to Mimic, who started out as a criminal. It is not too late for them to learn what fictions “good” and “evil” really are. Suddenly, Namora rises from the dunes and agrees to join Hyperion. She refuses to be a slave any longer. If he swears to leave her home reality untouched then she will stand by him.
Blink screams at Namora and tells her that it won’t work. Angered, Hyperion agrees and tells Namora that his offer was genuine. However, she treats him like an idiot. He then tells “Namora” that he can see “her” insides. Morph doesn’t even have time to morph back into his true shape before Hyperion blasts him into a pile of mush with his flash-vision. Namora, horrified and enraged, leaps out of the sand dunes and punches Hyperion in the face, calling him a murderer.

Timebreakers - part 3
Beak sits on the floor of the Panoptichron, in front of the stasis gallery, and clarifies the story that the tech-drone that freed him just related to him. Beak repeats that the Timebroker does not exist, and that the missions the Exiles thought they received from him were actually coming from alien insect-like creatures. Correct, says the worker caste tech-drone.
Beak then continues and is able to confirm that the realities he and the Exiles were sent to fix were actually broken by the bugs in the first place. The young mutant then looks to the shattered hole in the stasis gallery that once held Hyperion. He then tells the bug that they now want him to save them all from one of the super-powered beings they kidnapped, who has turned the tables. Realizing how bad the situation sounds, the bug reluctantly admits that this is true. Beak scowls at the tech-drone, who tells Beak that he appropriate expression that he is thinking of is “sorry.”
The tech-drone explains that Hyperion is the most powerful being ever recruited for the Weapon X team. Taking lives means nothing to him and he surely would have killed them all if he had known how to control the Panoptichron. Soon after taking control, he ordered the sovereign caste to destroy two entire universes, purely for the sake of seeing if it could be done. Removing even one reality destabilizes the matrix. Hyperion then turned from destruction to revenge. Beak is confused, and asks the bug who Hyperion wanted revenge against. The bug bluntly states that Hyperion wanted to gain revenge against the Exiles.
First, Hyperion sent them to the magical world ruled by Kulan Gath, fully knowing that they would fall under the spell and lose their identities. The probable fatal outcome was maximized. However, the Exiles survived, so Hyperion allowed the Great Beast known as Tanaraq to lead the Exiles, which again turned out differently than expected. Hyperion then decided to force the Exiles to turn on one another, but Blink refused to kill Mimic. The madman became furious and spoke directly to the Exiles as the Timebroker. He sent them all to the home world of Blink and Sabretooth as punishment.
Beak interrupts the tech-drone and asks if Hyperion pulled him and Heather out along the way and put them on ice in the gallery. The bug explains that Beak and Heather were removed in favor for more disruptive Exiles. Beak asks the bug why Hyperion didn’t just put the whole team in the gallery, or kill them all if he is so powerful. The tech-drone explains to Beak that Hyperion cannot leave the Panoptichron without forfeiting control. Besides, he likes toying with the Exiles. Beak compares the Panoptichron to a magnifying glass, and the Exiles as ants. Speaking of whom, says Beak, where are his teammates right now?
In the desert world, Mimic stands in shock, as he believes that Hyperion just killed Morph. Hyperion, enraged, stands ready to attack Namora, who just punched him hard in the face. Namora screams to Hyperion that he will kill no more. Sabretooth leaps at Hyperion, but is rebounded back. The madman grabs Namora and begins to crush her in his arms, as he admits his love for seafood. His eyes begin to charge up with his flash-vision, so Namora begins to push his face away from her.
Namora is successful and Hyperion is unable to blast her. Mimic tries stabbing Hyperion in the back, but finds he cannot scratch the man. Blink throws a few teleportation arrows, in an attempt to teleport Hyperion’s flash vision attack behind him, much like how she defeated him last time. Hyperion uses this to his advantage. He shoots his flash-vision into one of the arrows, which teleports the attack right behind him. However, with his super-speed, he turns quickly, so that the blast hits Namora, burning her back and making her scream in agonizing pain.
Hyperion drops Namora without any concern. He tells Blink that she can fool him once, but she will need a new trick to beat him again. In fact, he has one. Hyperion then spins around with his super-speed, which picks up all the sand around him, creating a sandstorm. Mimic and Sabretooth run for cover, neither one bothering to aid the badly injured Namora, who desperately and futilely crawls away towards the doorway back to the Panoptichron. The man-made sandstorm catches up to her, however, and badly scars her back even further.
Sabretooth begins to dig the sand beneath him as the sandstorm heads towards him. He orders Blink to get away from the area. Blink, however, is more concerned as to where Mimic has disappeared. As the decimated Namora crawls back into the Panoptichron, Mimic flies up into the air and tells himself that it cannot end like this. He has only copied half of Northstar’s speed in the past. Hopefully half of light speed is enough. Mimic begins to do loops in the air to build up speed. He then armors up and curls himself into a ball, as Hyperion ends his sandstorm. The villain announces that it is time to end them all, though he would rather keep on playing. Suddenly, he sees the curled up Mimic rocket towards him.
Mimic slams into Hyperion’s back at a dangerous speed, dragging the man forward and knocking him unconscious in to the sand. Mimic, however, is not left untouched, as his metal arms are all shredded. Calvin does not get back up.
In the Panoptichron, Beak marches down the hall with the tech-drone, asking what a high-school student like himself can do to stop Hyperion. The drone, however, tells Beak that the Panoptichron only calculates probability, not certainty of what will happen. Beak tells the bug that he needs to work on his pep talks. The worker drone continues to talk and explains that the sovereign caste selects members for the Exiles and Weapon X based on highest survivability probability. If one considers the longevity of Mimic, Morph and Blink, then Beak can rest assured that the sovereigns know what they are doing. Beak snaps back that the sovereigns also chose Hyperion. However, the bug still hasn’t explained what he has to do to stop Hyperion.
The tech-drone recalls the Beak stopped Tanaraq. Beak argues that he did not stop Tanaraq. When the monster took over Sasquatch’s body, all he did was run for help. As he says this, Beak looks at the monitors behind him and sees Gladiator of the Imperial Guard battling the Silver Surfer in one reality. He asks the tech-drone if all the places on the screen are real. The bug confirms this, to which Beak replies that perhaps he does know what to do after all.
Back in the desert world, Blink rushes over to Mimic’s motionless body and begs him not to be dead. Mimic begins to awaken, though Blink notices that Calvin only stunned Hyperion and that they have to move now. Mimic slowly tells Blink that it is hard for him to move. Where is everyone else? Blink informs her lover that she does not know. Morph took a direct hit from Hyperion and she does not know if he is dead or alive. Namora is in horrible shape as well, but she lost track of the Atlantean queen, as well as Sabretooth, in the sandstorm.
As Hyperion recovers from the attack, Blink teleports herself and Mimic away. The villain notices the couple reappear outside the doorway back into the Panoptichron. He tells the girl that he now understands why the sovereigns recruited them. Suddenly, Sabretooth bursts out of his hiding place in the sand and asks Hyperion if he wants to know why they recruited him to be an Exile. Hyperion is confused at first, but then understands Creed’s meaning. He then informs the feral mutant that the bugs did not recruit him to be an Exile. He did. He wanted someone to distract Blink and to make her less effective as a leader. He needed someone who would rush in to a no-win fight without a second thought.
Sabretooth is left stunned at this revelation and barely dodges the blast from Hyperion’s flash vision. Hyperion flies out of the desert world and orders Sabretooth to stay right there. He will be back in a minute. Then they will see if there really is more than one way to skin a cat. Hyperion then travels through the hallways of the Panoptichron, singing Blink’s name.
The villain finds Blink and Mimic in a corner of the building. He admits that she has fought bravely. He will honor her courage by killing her quickly. In a last ditch effort, Blink tells Hyperion to go to Hell, as she throws a teleportation arrow at him. Hyperion, however, is not affected by it. He then reveals that he had the bugs analyze her powers. If he cannot stop her from teleporting his flash-vision, then he can at least vibrate fast enough so she cannot teleport him away. Blink begins to cry and tells Hyperion that she wasn’t trying to teleport him away; she was trying to teleport him into pieces.
As Hyperion stands by the door to the water world, he tells Blink that it was wishful thinking. She isn’t in his class. She should not forget that he killed every last hero on his Earth. “So did I!” screams the recovered Namora, as she leaps out of the water world and, in one quick motion, snaps Hyperion’s neck!
Screaming her battle cry, “Imperius Regina,” Namora takes Hyperion down in the water with her, where she tells him that he should have never let her return back to the water. However, he has not been the first to misjudge her true strength. One by one, the heroes of her world fell to her, though her cause was just. Her world prospered under her rule.
In the Panoptichron, Blink stands at the doorway and looks into the water. Mimic asks her if Namora’s plan worked. Hesitantly, Blink tells Mimic that she thinks it did.
In the water, Namora tells Hyperion that killing is the easy part. It is reigning wisely that is difficult. Hyperion, annoyed, asks Namora if she ever shuts up. With one flick of his wrist, Hyperion snaps his neck back into place. “Y’know, every day I wake up with a stiff neck,” continues Hyperion, “I’m gonna think of you, babe.” Hyperion then unleashes his powerful flash-vision on the stunned Namora. She never had a chance to even attempt at an escape.
Blink stumbles back as a wave of burning hot steam erupts from the water world, burning her skin. She falls to the ground and is immediately weakened by her burns, as well as the scalding steam that warms up the area. She crawls to Mimic, who asks her what happened. Blink turns to see a figure standing in the steam. Hoping against hope, Blink calls out Namora’s name, inquisitively. “Fish chowder,” replies Hyperion, boldly, as he emerges from the steam.
Hyperion walks towards the couple and tells the two that they have managed to hurt him in ways he never thought possible. He will miss them, as he doesn’t believe that he will ever be challenged like this again. He will recruit new flunkies, of course, to conquer universes in his name, but he will become soft without any Exiles to keep him on his toes. Suddenly, a voice from behind tells Hyperion that he has good news, for there are more of them Exiles and they are not giving up yet. Hyperion turns to see Beak standing before him.
Blink screams to Beak to run away. Angry, Hyperion calls out to the Timebreakers and asks them if they think this is funny. He told them not to touch any of the equipment. Whoever unfroze the bird boy will get squished when he returns to the control room. Beak informs the villain that the sovereigns didn’t free him, one of the tech-drones did. They showed him how to use the transporters too. He did a little traveling while Hyperion was killing his friends.
Hyperion smiles and questions Beak on why he came back. Did he figure that he was not safe in any reality? Frankly, he wouldn’t waste his time looking for Beak. Of course, not, replies Beak. He could never do any harm to Hyperion. However, he is good at one thing, and that is at making friends.
Suddenly, two alternate reality Hyperions, one sporting green sunglasses, come to Beak’s side. One of them tells the evil Hyperion that they have been unhinged from time. The other adds that Barnell has told them that someone was embarrassing their good name…

Timebreakers - part 4
Within the Panoptichron, Hyperion finds himself in battle against two good alternate reality versions of himself, teleported to the observatory by Beak, a member of the reality hopping team known as the Exiles. Hyperion laughs and fights off one Hyperion with his flash-vision, happy that someone gave him a real fight now. The good Hyperion turns to his other good counterpart and asks for a hand, as he cannot fight the evil Hyperion alone. Down below, Beak, Blink and the injured Mimic watch in awe and fear at the titans in the air.
The other Hyperion, sporting green sunglasses, tells his companion to keep on firing, as he has his back. He then slams into the evil Hyperion and knocks him through a crystal wall. The other Hyperion flies towards the combatants, though quickly tells Beak to find a place to hide, as this battle will get tough. Beak, however, has no clue where to go.
As the three Hyperions duke it out elsewhere, Beak hopes that they don’t destroy the Panoptichron while trying to save it. Blink, however, is confused as last she saw Beak he was frozen in the “wall of fallen heroes.” Beak explains that one of the tech-drones woke him up and, apparently, the bugs expect him to save the day, even though no one else could. The whole reason they made him an Exile was to stop Hyperion! Mustering up enough strength, Mimic looks up at Beak and manages a smile. He tells his comrade that he came up with a good plan. It seems that the Timebreakers saw something in him that the rest of them missed. Beak tells the two that he just hopes the fighters take their battle outside.
Beak then realizes that Namora, Sabretooth and Morph are missing. Blink explains that Sabretooth and Morph are in the desert room. Beak is perplexed on Beak’s meaning, so Blink points to a doorway, which leads to a desert. She then points to another doorway, which leads to an ocean. Blink suddenly is overcome by sorrow and explains that Namora is in the ocean room. She fought Hyperion alone, the last she saw the Atlantean queen. The water then boiled. Blink is not sure if Namora still lives. Beak walks over to the doorway to the water world and tells Blink that, if Namora hears her talking like that, then she will be mad. He then spots Namora floating face-side down in the water. However, he is not a good swimmer and asks Blink if she can teleport the injured Namora out of the water.
Suddenly, the fighting Hyperions burst out of the floor, and it seems that the evil Hyperion is holding his ground against his two counterparts. The two heroes, however, gain the advantage and slam him into the wall above the ocean world. This tremendous force, though, rocks the area and somehow rocks the water in the other world, which erupts into the Panoptichron and washes the Exiles away.
Beak, Blink and Mimic find themselves underwater and in trouble. Beak, however, sees Namora floating through the halls of the Panoptichron. He makes his way towards his teammate and reaches out to her. That is when he sees Namora’s face, which is half gone, leaving her skull exposed to the elements. The mighty Namora, queen of Atlantis and the rest of the world in her reality, is dead. Beak is scared to see her badly deteriorated body and loses his breath. Thankfully, Blink teleports herself, him and Mimic out of the water.
The three reemerge in the control room of the Panoptichron. Two members of the sovereign caste waste no time in reprimanding Beak, who is still gasping for air. One tells him that he has made the situation worse, while the other bug informs him that the battle between the Hyperions will destroy the Panoptichron. They both point their fingers at him and ask him what he has done. Beak, in defense, angrily reminds them that they were the ones who chose him to lead the rescue mission.
Blink steps forward, confused. The bugs can see the future, and that is how they knew Beak would save the day. How could they not have predicted that Hyperion would take over? One of the bugs informs Blink that they cannot truly see into the future. If they could they would have prevented this crisis. Their temporal scanners only tell them the possible outcomes and probabilities of things that will happen. Some time ago they were alerted to the fact that there would be an imminent catastrophic failure to the Panoptichron. They did not know that the crisis would be caused by Hyperion.
They then searched for the element that would decrease the probability of the Panoptichron’s destruction. Beak ended up being the best candidate for that task, though how he would achieve this is unknown. Blink then realizes that the bugs chose him for the team and hoped for the best. The bugs acknowledge this and add that, if they knew that this was his solution, they would have never of considered him. Annoyed, Beak tells Blink that the sovereigns need to learn about gratitude.
Suddenly, the Hyperions come crashing into the room, this time the good ones having the advantage. The evil Hyperion, however, kicks one away into the wall. Blink teleports Mimic and Beak a distance away, as the Hyperion with sunglasses punches his foe, announcing the he is not the first evil Hyperion he has fought before. Hyperion asks his counterpart what he is babbling about and then smacks off the man’s sunglasses. He wants to know why he wears the glasses. Doesn’t he have flash-vision?
Before Hyperion can proceed any further, Mimic grabs him by the ankle, much to the villain’s surprise. The other two Hyperions thank Mimic and then slam into the evil counterpart. As they take their battle into another room, Blink asks Beak if the Panoptichron is in space or what. If they fighters breach the hull then they are all dead when the air is sucked out. Beak, however, does not know where the installation is located.
One of the sovereign workers tells Blink that there is nothing outside the Panoptichron. They are apart from space and time. However, they can still die there. Their instruments indicate that implosion is imminent. Mimic tells Blink that they have to move the fight elsewhere, but still keep it contained. Beak wonders if they can send the Hyperions to another reality. The sovereign tells him that they can only do so if they are on the excursion platform, which is the first room the Exiles were when they arrived in the Panoptichron. Mimic relates it to the transporter room in Star Trek. Blink, however, refuses to unleash the fighters on some defenseless Earth. She has another idea.
Elsewhere, the evil Hyperion gains the advantage and takes down his foes. As the two heroes regroup, Blink teleports in and calls their attention. The young girl then teleports them all.
In the desert world, Sabretooth knees by the mush that was formerly known as Morph and asks the man if he can hear him. He is not sure if Morph is dead or alive, and wishes the funny man would show him a sign. Suddenly, the three fighting Hyperions teleport into the desert room. Fearing what may happen next, Sabretooth drags Morph’s body around a sand dune.
Hyperion stands triumphant and tells Blink that she blew it, as that was probably the last time she will get the drop on him. She could have teleported his head off, but instead she brings him back to the desert world? At least they won’t wreck the palace anymore. However, she is at a disadvantage. Has she forgotten about his sandstorm trick? Blink stands armed with a teleportation arrow and tells Hyperion that she remembers all his tricks.
She then throws her arrow, but Hyperion vibrates his body, telling Blink that apparently she hasn’t remembered all his tricks. However, Hyperion was not the destination of her arrow. Blink tells Hyperion that there is one thing he must know about sand. It gets in everywhere. Blink’s arrow hits a sand dune, and all the sand is teleported into Hyperion, inflating his body and poring out of all his cavities. The other two Hyperions are left in awe at first, but then quickly attack their foe before he can recover.
Beak, Mimic, and the sovereigns watch all of this via monitors. Beak asks Mimic if the Hyperions are going to have to kill the bad one. Mimic pauses and remembers his vow never to kill again. He asks the sovereigns if they can activate the Timebroker. He needs to speak to Blink.
In the desert world, Sabretooth congratulates Blink and asks where she found the other two Hyperions. Blink informs Creed that Beak found them. Sabretooth is impressed and reminds himself never to get on the boy’s bad side.
Suddenly, the Timebroker appears and orders the Hyperions not to kill their foe. They two are confused and wonder if the butler is a friend of Hyperion. The Timebroker turns to Blink and tells her that it is he, Mimic. They do not have to kill Hyperion to stop him. Sabretooth is annoyed and tells Blink that now that they have Hyperion on the ropes her boyfriend is squeamish. Blink informs Creed that Calvin swore never to kill again. Creed, however, does not want to take a risk to spare Mimic’s feelings. The two good Hyperions stop beating the unconscious Hyperion and agree with Mimic. They agreed to help stop Hyperion, but they are not killers. If there is an alternative then they want to hear it.
Mimic explains that he asked the Timebreakers where they found Hyperion and they told him that he wasn’t a threat until he was on Weapon X. He took over his own Earth, but they did not submit peacefully. With all their heroes dead, the armies bombed the entire world and created a nuclear winter. When the Timebreakers found Hyperion, he was all alone for years on a radioactive dust ball.
Soon, the evil Hyperion wakes up and finds himself in a foggy area. Confused, he walks around for a bit, when he spots a poster of his villainous self, with the words “Never Surrender” written on it. Hyperion freaks out, as he realizes that he is back on his home world, and screams out in terror.
The Exiles watch this from the Panoptichron and Blink asks someone to turn off the sound. Creed tells Mimic that he got his wish, so he better hope that Hyperion doesn’t find a way to escape, especially since he knows the Exiles are out there. Mimic tells Creed he will sleep just fine. He is more worried about whether he will walk ever again.
Blink turns to the two Hyperions and figures that they should send the heroes back to their homes. One of the Hyperions tells Blink that the two of them have been talking, and they do not know if they can leave this place in the hands of the Exiles. The potential damage if the technology is misused is great and the responsible thing for them to do is to take it over themselves.
Blink tells the heroes that Beak already explained to them what they Exiles have been doing for months. She understands their concern but, after all the realities they saved, there is no one else more qualified to run the Panoptichron but them. The Hyperions, however, apologize to Blink and tell her that they cannot take her word for it.
They then turn to Beak and tell him that they do trust him. If not for him, their realities would be at the mercy of the evil Hyperion. They are forever in his debt. If he can vouch for the Exiles, then they can go home assured that one true hero is looking after the Panoptichron. Sabretooth doesn’t believe what he is hearing, but Beak becomes serious and tells Hyperion that he will do everything he can so the observatory is not misused. He vouches for the Exiles. There are dozens of worlds that owe their existence to the heroes, and that is proof enough. The tow Hyperions are content and are then teleported home.
Blink turns to Beak and guesses that he will be staying around the Panoptichron for a bit. Beak asks her if she is kidding. The minute they get medical help for Mimic and Morph, he wants to be sent home. Blink is confused, but Beak tells her that he said all that stuff so the Hyperions would leave. If given the chance to risk his life every week or spending his days staring at his girlfriend’s big, beautiful butt…
Blink smiles and tells Beak that he is giving too much information, but she gets the idea. Sabretooth smiles and pats Beak on the back. He is starting to think that the boy has his head on straighter than the rest of them put together.

Destroy all Monsters - part 1
Beak and the worker tech-drone stand in front of the gallery of fallen heroes, particularly by the part of the wall that houses Heather Hudson. Heather lies dormant and asleep in the stasis gallery and is looked upon by Beak, who hopes that she is able to brace herself for the shock. The tech-drone begins the preparation to release Heather. In seconds, the part of the wall that contains Heather dissolves away. Heather gasps for air and then collapses on top of Beak, who is unable to hold the woman up. Heather, barely together, begins to question Beak on what is going on. Beak, however, interrupts her and tells Dr. Hudson that they need her help.
A short walk and brief explanation later leads Beak and Heather to the “infirmary” of the Panoptichron. Beak explains that the Timebreakers did not have an infirmary before, so they had to make one. They have pretty much done everything the Exiles have asked for since they saved them from Hyperion. Heather sees three makeshift beds, all made out of the crystal that makes the Panoptichron. One the first one is the injured Mimic, whose metallic body is shredded. He is watched over by Blink and Sabretooth, while the tech-drones carry on their duties. Mimic sees Heather and tells her that it is good to see her up and about. Heather wishes she could say the same to Mimic, and then asks how it happened.
Mimic explains that he flew top-speed into an immovable object named Hyperion, and his body was shredded badly. He has been afraid to transmute back to his flesh form ever since. Smart move, comments Heather, but she tells him that he cannot stay like this forever. Heather then looks at the next station to see the horribly burnt Morph, who is not moving. Scared, Heather asks if he is gone. Blink explains that Morph hasn’t moved or responded since being flash-fried by Hyperion, but he is generating heat. Other than that there are no life signs. Heather surmises that since Morph’s physiology is different, that may not be a bad thing.
Heather then looks at the last station and sees a body covered by a blanket, with a blue, horribly burnt hand sticking out. “Namora,” says Heather flatly. Yeah, replies Blink, sadly. Sabretooth explains that Namora went down fighting. A warrior-queen like her brother wouldn’t want it any other way. Heather shakes Sabretooth’s hand and learns that he is the same one from that reality with David Richards and the Sentinels. The Exiles picked him up a few missions before they wound up at the Panoptichron. Heather notices that Sabretooth has the Tallus, and asks if he is in charge. Sabretooth informs Heather that Blink still leads, but the Tallus is pretty much useless and insignificant, since they can now go their separate ways.
Blink glares slightly at Sabretooth and tells him to take things one step at a time, as they have to help their wounded first. Heather agrees, but she needs some special equipment and would like a second opinion. She then turns to Beak and asks if that dimensional-hopping equipment he used to fetch the good Hyperions still works.
In another universe, a surgeon finishes closing an incision on his latest superhuman patient, and tells his colleagues that it looks good. Their patient will the stable, or at least as stable as he will ever be. As the doctors and nurses begin to clean up the mess from the surgeon’s surgery on the incredible Hulk, there suddenly appear two strangers behind the good doctor. Heather Hudson, standing beside Beak, apologizes for suddenly arriving like this, but there is a mutant medical emergency and, after searching through fifteen hundred realities, he is the best superhuman specialist there is. The doctor is confused and asks Heather to repeat herself as he removes his surgeon’s mask. “I am addressing Dr. Stephen Strange, am I not?” asks Heather?
After and explanation and examination, Doctor Strange finishes looking at Morph’s body in the Panoptichron. He tells Heather that he finished his tests and there is some mitochondrial activity. However, the overall cellular dormancy seems induced by the shock of thermal disruption. If they remove the carbonized tissue, then Morph should start to heal on his own. He recommends a cortical stimulator to speed the recovery. They can retrieve one from his office if they’d like.
He then smiles and asks Heather if she is also a metamorph. Sort of, replies Heather, with a smile on her face as well. She used to turn into a big hairy monster, but that ability is gone permanently and probably for the best. Is he just a medical examiner? Does he have any mystical expertise? Strange is confused, so Heather asks him if he has ever gone to Tibet. “No,” replies Strange, “Cancelled a vacation there once.”
“Ah,” replies Heather, knowing that this reality’s Dr. Strange never became the hero and mystical practitioner he is famous for in other worlds.
Mimic overhears the prognosis on Morph and asks how his situation is. Dr. Strange admits that his case is trickier. In his organic steel form, he does not require his internal organs, so he doesn’t need to breathe or eat. That is fortunate, as his insides are smashed up. How badly, asks the scared Mimic. Strange relates Mimic’s plight to an elephant stomping on a bag of potato chips. Even with the healing factor he mimicked from Wolverine, he would still die faster than he could heal in his human form. However, his healing ability is a start, and he and Dr. Hudson will look for ways to boost that power. Mimic asks the doctors not to take too long, though, as he has been staying in his steel form for some time and he is not sure that he can keep it up much longer.
Sabretooth wonders if Mimic can copy his healing factor, so that could perhaps boost up the recovery. Mimic admits that he is surprised that Sabretooth would volunteer, especially since they have not gotten along since he joined the team. However, his plan won’t work. He has been trying to Mimic Sabretooth for days now. Sabretooth shows a bit of anger over Mimic trying to copy his powers without asking, but Mimic ignores this and explains that he can only keep five sets of powers. He was trying to swap Beast’s agility for Sabretooth’s all the while gaining his healing factor, but whenever he tries nothing happens. Perhaps he is too much like Wolverine and Mimic’s body cannot mimic Sabretooth due to the redundancy in power.
Beak wonders if Mimic could have both the powers of Polaris and Magneto, but Blink reminds them all that though it is all fascinating they need to help him right now. Heather, who is much more serious, has an idea to buy Mimic more time while they search for a treatment, but she is afraid he will not like it.
After some time, the heroes prop Mimic into the stasis gallery, where he tells Heather that she is right; he doesn’t like this idea. Heather tells Mimic that she knows, but at the same time if he is in stasis he can remain metallic indefinitely. Once they find someone with a healing factor that he can mimic, they will wake him up from the stasis gallery. Mimic, knowing that this is the only option, asks Blink to come over to him for a minute.
Blink comes to Mimic’s side and tells him that he is going to be fine. Mimic tells her that he knows, but they have had a chance to catch their breath. He wishes he could keep her life from being one crisis after another. Blink kisses Mimic’s hand and tells her lover that he is the only thing that has kept her sane though all of this. He has done enough. Mimic closes his eyes and tells the Exiles that they should get this over with. The tech-drone presses a few buttons on his handheld device, and then the walls to the stasis gallery seal once again, keeping Mimic in suspended animation. The Exiles look at Calvin with sorrow.
Heather tells Dr. Strange that she will show him the control room. The scanners will allow them to review candidates from different realities. It is how she found him in the first place. As they walk, she explains that, in her reality, she kept a database of known super-humans with fast-healing abilities. Dr. Strange asks her to name one good practitioner of meta-medicine who doesn’t. Heather continues and explains that in her database she had her ex-husband, Wolverine, as well as the Green Goblin, The Red Skull, Blackheart, Mr. Sinister and etc. As they walk past the bodies of Storm, Angel, She-Hulk, Sunfire, Iron Man, and Deadpool, Strange explains that he has not encountered anyone in his reality like Mimic. Can he only mimic other mutants or can he copy anyone with special abilities?
Five hours later in the control room, Heather nears completion on their research. Sabretooth looks at all the monitors depicting other worlds and asks how they could start sifting through all the worlds to find the best candidate for a healing factor? Heather explains that she helped the Timebreakers update their search engine on their temporal scanners. They are smart bugs, but they are not great innovators.
Strange enters the room and announces that he has finished Morph’s surgery and removed ten percent of his tissue, but he has already started healing. How has the search gone? Heather tells all that she has found three finalists. The first is the Red Skull, who gained an instant healing factor from the super-soldier serum. However, the serum runs through his veins and they would have to get past the Skull’s Cosmic Cube to get a blood sample. Next is Mr. Sinister, who is nearly as resilient as the Red Skull, but Mimic would have to spend some time with Sinister to mimic his powers, and considering the hostile environment she doesn’t think sending Mimic there is a good idea and she is not keen on bringing Sinister to the Panoptichron.
Finally, there is Dr. Curt Connors, whose attempts to restore his lost arm usually turned him in the Lizard in most realities. However, in this reality his healing formula worked. Now he leads a ‘science squad’ to battle the giant monsters that plague his world. Sabretooth states that Dr. Connors seems to be the way to go, to which Heather agrees. Beak, however, reminds them all of a little problem that they are all ignoring. Whenever they visited other realities, things got complicated. However, the Timebreakers would let them know what they had to do to make things right. A lot of their equipment was damaged in the fight between the Hyperions. They don’t know what effect the Exiles will have on realities now. What if by approaching Dr. Connors they mess up his reality?
Annoyed, Blink tells Beak that Mimic is counting on them. He shouldn’t start thinking of reasons as to why they should not help him. One member of the sovereign cast asks Blink to listen to Beak, and reminds her that the uninformed excursions that they made were the cause of the broken realities to begin with. Blink snaps at the bug and tells him to be quiet too. They kidnapped all of them and lied to them. Once they tie up their loose ends this whole operation is being shut down. Heather interrupts and asks if they can go home. There are still more realities that need to be fixed. Sabretooth tells her that those worlds will just have to get along without them.
Heather turns to Sabretooth and reminds him that the Timebroker told them that their worlds are broken as well, so they can’t go home until the job is finished. Sabretooth reveals to Heather that the Timebreakers made that all up so the Exiles and Weapon X members would listen. He and Blink saw their home reality and it is fine. Angered, Heather turns to one of the sovereign cast workers and asks if it is true, to which the bug replies that it is and they lied to compel the heroes. Beak, elated, exclaims that they can all go home. However, the bug tells him that there is too much damage that needs to be fixed. Angered, Sabretooth tells the bug that it is his fault. The universe won’t collapse if they don’t clean up every last bit of their mess.
Heather, trying to figure out things to the end, suggests that perhaps if they leave the Timebreakers will just recruit new Exiles. Blink, not caring about anything at the moment other than Mimic, tells her that they will make the Timebreakers go home too. Heather then tells Blink that they cannot leave the Panoptichron empty. Who knows who will find it and what will happen. Blink tells Heather that they will just destroy it. Not pleased, Beaks wonders how the destruction of the Panoptichron would affect the multiverse. Strange also reminds Blink that the observatory is a unique scientific resource. A dangerous one, adds Sabretooth.
Heather asks the team what would happen if whoever built the Panoptichron came back and found it destroyed. Sabretooth asks Heather why she is even arguing. Doesn’t she want to go home? Suddenly, the healing Morph stumbles into the room and in an angry tone tells the group that maybe they will close down the place, but they better get their priorities straight. Heather rushes to Morph’s side, whose body is still healing the burned parts of his body. She tells him that he should rest, but Morph tells her that there are more important things to do and he is not missing them.
They are going to take care of their own and if that means taking risks then so be it. Since when did risks stop them in the past? He saw Mimic in the stasis gallery on his way to the control room and they are going to do whatever they can to heal him. They will also help Thunderbird and whoever else is in that wall buried alive. After that they will return Beak back to his home with his wife and kids. “Wife and kids…?” whispers Dr. Strange to Heather, surprised that someone like Beak would even have any. “He got an early start,” whispers Heather back.
Morph then turns his angry glare to the Timebreakers and tells them that, though he hates this life and them for forcing them into servitude, there is a reason he stayed when he could have gone home. There are dozens of messed up realities that might die without help. Can any of them really go home with that on their conscience? None of the Exiles can look Morph in the eye. Morph tells them that he could not go home either. Now, there is one more thing he needs done and he insists that they do it now.
In a very familiar world, a gravestone is place for Mariko Yashida, better known as the deceased long-time Exile called Sunfire. As the priest finishes the last rights, the Exiles stand to the side in silence, while also gathered are Mary Jane Watson, a.k.a Spider-Woman, as well as the surviving heroes of her reality after they were once saved by the Exiles from an out of control techno-organic virus that nearly consumed their entire planet.
After the priest finishes, the crying Mary Jane thanks the Exiles for brining Mariko back to her. However, as much as she loved her, if it was up to her, she would have taken Sunfire back to her home reality. Blink tells Mary Jane that she wanted too as well, for she felt that Mariko’s parents should have a right to visit her grave, despite the fact that they did not approve of who she was. However, Morph insisted on bringing Mariko there and he would not take “no” for an answer.
Mary Jane goes to Morph and tells him that, a few months ago when the Exiles were all split up in different realities, Mariko returned her and stayed for a few weeks; thirty-nine days to be exact. Morph tells Spider-Woman that he knows. Mary Jane continues and relates how it was a gift to have extra time with Mariko. She learned a lot about Mariko and learned that Morph had feelings for her. Morph turns to Mary Jane and apologizes. He couldn’t help it and it didn’t mean anything. There was no doubt that Mariko loved Mary Jane.
Mary Jane puts her hand on Morph’s shoulder, telling him that he loved Mariko so much to make sure that she spent eternity with Mary Jane. That has to be the most unselfish thing she has ever heard of. It is a comfort to have someone else that loved Mariko to share the hurt with. The two begin to cry and hug at Mariko’s grave.
In another reality, a woman named Sakata sits in an observation station and calls in to the Science Squad. Her sat-scans confirm that the power spike detected is from the atoll ahead of them. For some reason, though, the GPS readings on the location keep on changing.
In their jet, the Science Squad receives the message. Hank Pym tells the others that this wouldn’t be the first time a kaiju was mistaken for an island. Do they remember that leviathan case? Another crewmember tells him that Krakoa is an island that was first mapped in the 19th century. The U.S. even performed atomic tests there in the fifties. Suddenly, the island below forms into a massive ugly shape and calls out the jet to come closer. “You were saying…” states one of them aboard.
Dr. Connors orders that they fire the missiles, which do not seem to affect Krakoa. The island reaches out and tells the jet to come closer. It grabs the jet out of the air, much to the horror of the four men aboard. Connors orders the others to turn on the retro-rockets and lasers. Krakoa is about to eat the jet when, suddenly, in a “blink” of an eye it disappears.
Dr. Connors, whose eyes were closed shut, opens them as he wonders why he hasn’t been eaten yet. He and his companions turn around to see Blink, Sabretooth, and Morph as the Red Power Ranger in their ship. “Sorry to startle you, Dr. Connors,” says the smiling Blink, “We’re the Exiles, and we’re here to help.”

Destroy all Monsters - part 2
On Earth #3752, the Exiles recently arrived to find Dr. Curt Connors; whose medical technologies may be the last chance for the Exile’s dying member, Mimic. Connors leads a group known as the Science Squad, Earth’s last defense against giant monsters that plague the planet. Currently, they fight Krakoa, the “island that walks like a man.” However, does the sudden appearance of the Exiles mean that they will all die?
In the Pacific Ocean, the Science Squad’s jet avoids Krakoa’s grasp as it flies by to shoot it. Inside, Boliver Trask screams that they are all going to die. The plane cannot take this kind of maneuvering and he should know, as he designed it. The extra weight of these three strangers aboard will surely doom them. Tony Stark tells Trask to shut up and comments that he always panics when things get rough.
Meanwhile, Hank Pym asks the Exiles how they got on board. One minute they are in the paws of that monster and the next minute they are free and with three extra passengers. Blink tells Pym that she teleported them free and it’s the same way they hitched a ride. However, she will explain the rest later as that walking mountain is trying to kill them.
Krakoa follows the jet and notices that something has changed. It senses a new power in the vessel and hungers for it. Blink wonders if Krakoa is talking about them Exiles, and then asks Sabretooth, who still possesses the Tallus, to contact Heather to find out more about Krakoa.
In the Panoptichron, Heather receives Sabretooth’s request and tells him that she is already cross-referencing the reality index, but half the files are unavailable, due to damage. However, there is a mention of Krakoa in Earth 616.
In the jet, Sabretooth informs the others that Heather told him that in another reality Krakoa captured the original X-Men and fed off their life energies, forcing Xavier to form a new team to save their butts.
Meanwhile, Krakoa asks the heroes if they think they are beyond his grasps simply because they can fly. He then sprouts several aerial masses out of his arm, which fly after the jet. Hank Pym tells Stark that they have multiple contacts zeroing in on them. Tony acknowledges this and decides to hit the afterburners. He does so and the jet zooms off, burning the flying creatures behind them. Krakoa calls the humans cruel, and announces that it must feed.
Aboard the jet, Morph tells Sabretooth that they did not exactly save the day. Confused, Sabretooth reminds Morph that the four men were as good as dead before they showed up. Isn’t that enough for him? Pym stares at Morph and wonders how the man can change form like that. Meanwhile, Dr. Connors calls back to his base and asks Sakata if she can hear him.
Sakata receives the transmission, and Dr. Connors asks if she can still track Krakoa. Sakata confirms that she can and she also announces that she has been plotting the monster’s projected path. It was heading directly for Japan, but since their encounter it has changed directions and is now matching their flight plan. This is atypical movement for a kaiju. Why would it follow them when they are out of sight?
Dr. Connors sends the jet’s sensor log to Sakata and asks her to run it through their super computers. Sakata does so and is dismayed by the results. Sensing her fear, Dr. Connors asks her what kind of kaiju Krakoa was. Sakata regretfully informs Connors that it is a class-one global antigen. Blink asks Connors what that means, but is roughly told that she and her friends really messed up their day.
Back at the Panoptichron, Heather asks the Timebreakers if they are done with the temporal forecast models. She cannot come up with an effective strategy against Krakoa until she has more data on it. One of the Timebreakers, still addressing Heather as “Exile-Casualty-Five,” asks her to understand. They did not invent the Panoptichron, so they can only guess how to repair it. Dr. Strange meets up with Heather and asks her if everything is ok. Heather, a bit frustrated, tells Stephen that things are not ok. Blink’s team has run into a rocky start and they haven’t even asked Connors for help yet.
Strange admits that monster planet seemed like a bad place to go in the first place. Heather tells him that they might have made things worse in that reality. Beak comes up and tells Heather that he hates to say he told you so. Heather snaps at him and tells him no to. She is making the best out of a bad situation and she doesn’t need to be henpecked. Annoyed, Beak tells Heather that she isn’t funny. Heather smiles and apologizes for the henpecked comment. Beak tells her that if he is a pain in her butt why doesn’t she send him home? Heather sighs and tells Beak that the Timebreakers are working on it, but there are problems in doing that too.
Heather turns to a worker bug and, addressing it as Shorty, asks him to pull up a visual of Earth 616. Strange questions the name Shorty, but Heather tells him that the Timebreakers recognize each other by scent, so she has to call them something. Beak wonders what the term “Earth 616” means, so Heather explains that it is how the Timebreakers list his reality in their index. Blink is on Earth 3752 at the moment. There are a lot of Earth’s out there.
The Timebreakers pull up a screen of static and apologize. They cannot access reality 616 at the moment. Concerned, Beak wonders if it is because the machines are broken, or if something is wrong back home. Heather calms down Beak and tells him that it is probably a machine glitch. Beak wonders about the fate of his girlfriend and children, but Heather reassures him that they are fine. However, another problem is that they need to find a way to reverse the process that unhinged him from time. Even if he were to go home his family wouldn’t know if he was back. He has to be patient for now.
Strange interrupts and tells the two that, while they deal with that, he wants to go look at the stasis gallery again. Heather tells Strange to go and asks if they can autopsy one of the bodies later on. Strange smiles and tells Heather that it would be lovely. As the two look at each other adoringly, Beak asks Heather what she was saying about the “unhinging” thing, but Heather asks him to hold on a moment as she watches the handsome Strange leave.
Back on Earth #3752, the Exiles and Science Squad return to the headquarters of the Squad, where Dr. Connors tells them that he would be happy to provide help for their injured teammate, but they first must help clean up the mess they made on this Earth. Slightly annoyed, Blink agrees, but asks Dr. Connors to drop his attitude and to explain what the deal is with these monsters.
Dr. Connors turns on a monitor and starts his story at the very beginning of the Science Squad. The monitor displays the four men in the Arctic, battling against a giant green monster that came up from the Earth’s core and smashed an experimental geothermal energy facility, before it could be stopped. Later on, they found out that this facility would have collapsed the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust. The nameless kaiju saved the world and it has been the first of many to appear in the last ten years. There are two kinds of kaiju: antigenic and pathogenic. Morph transforms his hand into a stop sign and asks Connors what a “kaiju” is.
Surprised and a bit annoyed that Morph doesn’t know, Connors informs him that it is a really giant monster. Morph asks why they just don’t call them giant monsters, but Connors retorts back by asking why they call a giant wave a tsunami. Sabretooth chimes in and asks why they just don’t call all giant idiots “Morph.”
Connors continues and explains that the kaiju are a natural phenomenon. The pathogenic ones are a cancer that must be destroyed, but the antigenic ones are the Earth’s biosphere creating a response to a threat, much like how the immune system creates antibodies. Sometimes a threat is man-made, other times it’s another kaiju. One of the Exiles asks if they just let the good kaiju stomp around whatever is in its way. Connors replies that they essentially do, but they always evacuate civilians and steer the beasts to areas where the least damage can occur.
Pym compares the good kaiju to a wildfire, which renews a forest, or bad-tasting medicine. Sabretooth recalls that they mentioned that Krakoa was heading towards Japan. Is something bad going to happen there? Sakata speaks up and tells them that she has scanned the entire area, but she has not found anything yet. However, their first indication of a pathogenic kaiju may be a cry for help.
In Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park, in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, a group of tourists watch a few monkeys bathe in a hot spring. While the father takes a picture, the mother tells her two children that the brochure tells her that the monkeys started bathing here forty years ago. One of the boys wonders why the heat doesn’t cook the animals, but his father tells him the water only looks so hot, because it is cold up here and it makes a lot of steam. It’s actually a warm bathe.
One of the sons asks what makes the water so hot. The father explains that Japan is a geographically active area, with many powerful underground forces. Suddenly, the father is caught off guard as the water in the hot spring begins to boil out of control. Harold’s wife calls out to him, but Harold thinks that the hot spring may be erupting.
Suddenly, one of the boys calls his father’s attention to the monkey’s who are sucked into the water. A massive green fin emerges, which is attached to a massive dragon head, which resides upon a massive dragon body. Fin Fang Foom towers above the cowering family, and then sets them ablaze as he unleashes an inferno.
At the Panoptichron Stasis Gallery, Dr. Strange looks at the body of Kane and tells the worker drone with him that, before they remove Kane’s corpse, they must double check that he is indeed dead. The drone verifies that Kane is indeed dead, but then suddenly notices something. Strange questions the problem, and then learns that one of the previously recorded dead Weapon X members has recently come back to life. It could be damage to their equipment, but all signs point to Deadpool being alive!
Strange takes the hand held device from the bug and sees Deadpool’s regenerative capabilities are off the chart. What did he die of? The bug explains that his neck was broken, to which Strange replies that it isn’t broken anymore. They need to get him out of the gallery, for if Mimic can copy his power then they don’t have to deal with the monster world after all.
Back on Earth #3752, Krakoa continues his walk through the Pacific Ocean, when suddenly his attention to grabbed by three passing gold and red aircrafts. Krakoa follows the three crafts, which are led by Ronin One, piloted by Dr. Connors, Dr. Pym and Blink. Connors contacts one of the other Ronin crafts, and learns that Krakoa has bought their bait. Slightly unnerved, Blink asks if bait is all they are to him. Connors assures her that if that were true he wouldn’t have let her and her teammates were the official orange Science Squad uniforms. “More like insist,” says Blink.
Pym tells Blink that orange sets off her eyes. Besides, as long as Krakoa is more interested in her than in fulfilling its purpose, why not use her to steer him in the right direction. Blink then asks the status of the new kaiju they picked up. Pym tells her that there has been no visual confirmation, but reports state that it can fly and is heading towards Tokyo. Could she possibly use her teleportation powers to teleport Krakoa to the new monster? Blink, however, informs Pym that Krakoa is too big and the distance is too far for her to try.
Connors calls the Ronin piloted by Trask and Sabretooth and informs them that they will reach Tokyo in three minutes, but it will take Krakoa three hours to arrive. Trask realizes that they will have to keep the new monster busy for a while, but Sabretooth tells him not to worry, as they will be just fine in a fight.
In the last Ronin jet, Morph asks Stark if he noticed how kaiju sounds like cashew. He prefers pistachios, though. Annoyed, Stark reveals that, if he knew Morph talked so much, he would have made him ride with Trask. Morph then asks if he ever noticed that Trask is an anagram of Stark. What is up with that?
The three Ronins reach Tokyo just in time to see Fin Fang Foom ignite a bullet train on fire. They fire missiles at the monster, which is surprised that there is someone in this land who dares challenge Fin Fang Foom. The three jets engage in their alpha attack pattern, but Blink insists that she and her teammates fight on the outside if they must delay this monster for three hours. Connors, however, asks Blink to stay put, as she is going to like this next move. He then orders Stark and Trask to engage in conversion process. Sabretooth asks Trask what that means, and learns that Trask built these jets. When the chips are down Bolivar’s baby is what saves the day. The three Ronin jets soon each transform into different forms.
The three pieces then connect into a massive robot that Trask calls… Red Ronin!
Back at the Stasis Gallery, Deadpool has been successfully removed from the gallery and begins to wake up. Still disoriented, he asks Strange where the others are. Strange asks to who he is referring, so Deadpool tells him that he is talking about Vision, Hulk, Spider, Storm… and Sabretooth. Strange looks at the gallery and tells him that some are right there, but in worse condition than him. The good news is that Sabretooth is fine and is on a mission with Morph and Blink. He should inform Dr. Hudson that he revived him now, though.
Strange helps Deadpool up, but the mercenary asks Strange to give him a moment. He asks where he is. Strange, confused, asks if Deadpool does not recognize this place. It is his headquarters for their whole reality-saving operation. He is still figuring this all out himself. He was called her for his medical expertise, because a few of Deadpool’s teammates were harmed.
Confused, Deadpool asks if this is the Timebroker’s place. Strange informs him that he has not met anyone called the Timebroker, but he is just visiting here after all. Deadpool then asks Strange who he is, so Strange introduces himself. He then admits that he has never met anyone on his Earth with a healing factor like Deadpool’s. There is no apparent nerve damage and his motor skills are nominal. How did he break his neck in the first place?
Deadpool tells Strange that Sabretooth broke it, just like this. He then snaps Strange’s neck 180 degrees. As Strange falls, dead, the worker drone tries running away. Deadpool figures that Sabretooth is still around selling out the rest of his Weapon X teammates, but he will end that. Deadpool then stomps on the running bug and vows to fix Sabretooth good.
