On Muir Isle, Banshee is beaten up and abducted by the Hellion, Thunderbird II. Professor Xavier wakes up in the Morlock Tunnels and is informed by Callisto that he was beaten up and close to death when the Morlocks found him and the Morlock Healer saved his life. She warns him that he isn’t fully restored and needs to avoid strain or he will die. They witness Sunder bringing the dead bodies of the children of the Morlock Annalee, who were murdered by mutant haters. Callisto returns Xavier to the X-Men, disrupting a training session. Soon the X-Men are informed of Banshee’s abduction. Thunderbird informs them that he has hidden Banshee in NORAD’S command center and challenges them to save him. The X-Men leave for Cheyenne Mountain, aware that this mission might make them outlaws. They are unaware that Thunderbird’s fellow Hellions, Empath and Roulette, have decided to “help” Thunderbird, and Empath has brought the brainwashed Firestar along. The X-Men leave Xavier in the hidden Blackbird as they enter a storage room in Cheyenne Mountain. Immediately things go badly as Empath and Roulette take out Xavier. Shadowcat and Wolverine find Banshee but are ambushed and almost killed by Thunderbird, before he decides to take his rage out on Xavier alone. Soldiers in Mandroid suits attack the other X-Men and take Nightcrawler prisoner while Firestar attacks Colossus. Empath manipulates the feelings of both the officer in charge and Nightcrawler to cause chaos in the command center. Kitty and Wolverine take him out but are in turn attacked by soldiers. Rachel has a breakdown and accompanies her to save Wolverine and Kitty together, while Rogue takes out Firestar. In the meantime, Thunderbird confronts Xavier alone, a Xavier who has barely any functioning powers. Nevertheless he manages to appeal to James’s reason and decency and the young man realizes Xavier and the X-Men aren’t to blame for John’s death. The X-Men leave with Banshee and the Hellions. Thunderbird and Firestar though friendly towards the X-Men nevertheless decide to return to the Massachusetts Academy with their teammates. The X-Men face the fact that their heroic reputation is gone. On a cruise ship en route to Africa, Ororo has a vision of her dead mother and some strange mountains. In New York, Nimrod has been taken in by Jaime Rodriguez, the man whose life he saved. Nimrod realizes he’s in the wrong timeline but his programming still stands, meaning he will destroy the X-Men.
