Story Title: The Shot Heard Round the World
By: Alan Davis & Fabian Nicieza
Artists: Leinil Francis Yu, John Livesay, Tim Townsend & Edgar Tadeo
Synopsis: The X-Men are on the trail of the Acolytes still loyal to Magneto, as they terrorize yet another genetics laboratory in two days. The team has the offending jet in sights, but unfortunately it is protected from detection and Xavier cannot figure out which Acolytes are actually in the jet with Cerebro. The team loses the trail but suddenly the Acolytes drop their cloaks when they arrive at their latest target, a chemical plant. The X-Men arrive to stop the Acolytes, but it is a trap. With the X-Men downed, the Acolytes escape. The X-Men quickly regroup and chase the Acolytes, who don’t seem to be making much effort to escape. The X-Men then wonder, what was the point of all of this? Are the Acolytes trying to lead them somewhere – or away from something? As tensions arise on the Blackbird, Magneto sends the robotic Ferris to the United Nations. There, the being speaks to the delegation about the recent failure in having a sanctuary in space for mutants. Thus, Magneto demands a haven for mutants on Earth and the United Nations shall grant it to him. This haven shall be for mutants who wish to live in peace. In his Artic Circle base, Magneto beefs up his powers with a conductor and uses it to once again tear open the electromagnetic spectrum. The attack sends ripples, which begin to spread across Earth, threatening to shut down all of civilization until Magneto’s demands are met by the United Nations. As the Acolytes streak back to the Arctic, they are protected by their special shields, but the Blackbird is crippled and crashes, leaving the X-Men trapped in the Arctic, but not without hope.
