Mission 1[]

"There's another Test Subject outbreak in New York... but this time, something's different. What sinister motives lie beneath this attack?"
— Mission Preview

Mission Start[]

Back to top ↑

Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
We're having another outbreak of Test Subjects in New York, this time over in some of the waterfront warehouses on the Hudson.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
We need to contain it, and we need to trace the origin of this new variant. These carry a slightly different ISO-8 signature than previous Test Subject iterations

That has us thinking that someone new is putting a stamp on the Mutant Growth Hormone/Iso-8 serum, or maybe another step in the process of their creation.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
Whatever's going on, we need to figure out what it is and put a stop to it.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
As Agent Boy Scout says, yes. Get out there and give it the old college try.



Deploy 1[]

Screen Text[]

First thing we need to do is get a sample of this MGH/Iso-8 variant to Beast so he can start analyzing it.

Deploy 2[]

Screen Text[]

Havok has picked up on the possible presence of the Living Pharaoh. Send him to follow up so we know one way or another.

Start[]

Havok:
Havok Icon 1
I can feel the Living Pharaoh.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
Is he tapping your powers again?



Havok:
Havok Icon 1
Not like he did last time. But his proximity is a draw I can feel. I'm going after him.



Complete[]

Havok:
Havok Icon 1
He's here all right. But I'm guessing you all already know that.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Pretty much. A lot can happen when you're out of comm range.



Havok:
Havok Icon 1
I'm going to stay after him. Being used as a battery gets old real quick.



Deploy 3[]

Screen Text[]

A Test Subject blew up in one of the maintenance tunnels near the Metro-North tracks under Grand Central Station. We're looking at a major collapse unless Colossus can get there and stabilize the tunnel.

Start[]

Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Colossus, we need someone who can hold up a zillion tons of steel and concrete while simultaneously absorbing hostile weapons fire.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
You're our guy.



Colossus:
Colossus Icon 1
It seems I am.



Complete[]

Colossus:
Colossus Icon 1
Emergency crews have stabilized the tunnel. I will pursue the remaining Test Subjects.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
10-4. Go get 'em.



Deploy 4[]

Screen Text[]

The presence of Mr. Sinister gives credence to the rumours about Apocalypse. We need to make contact with as many former Horsemen as possible.

Start[]

Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
We cannot know what effect Apocalypse might have on his former Horsemen. Let us keep close track of them.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Good idea. Agent, send someone to locate as many of them as we can.



Complete[]

Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
Angel, Wolverine, Hulk, Gambit, Sunfire... they're still active and operationally sound.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
We need to keep looking for the others.



Deploy 5[]

Screen Text[]

A group of Test Subjects escaped our cordon and are headed across the Queensboro Bridge. Spiral's closest. Send her after them.

Start[]

Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Simple search-and-destroy here, Spiral. We cannot let Test Subjects get loose in Queens.



Spiral:
Spiral Icon 1
They won't.



Complete[]

Spiral:
Spiral Icon 1
They never even got to the other end of the bridge.



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
I knew we could count on you.



MiniBoss - Toad[]

Reveal[]

Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
I've got bad news, and more bad news. Toad is controlling a group of Test Subjects here.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
And we saw Mr. Sinister there as well. Our eyes on the site right now aren't seeing him, but he was there.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
One hundred percent confirmed.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
It was only a matter of time. Once Magneto left the Brotherhood, and every gene hacker started digging into Iso-8...

I'm surprised it took Sinister this long to make a move.



Start[]

Cyclops:
Cyclops Icon 1
Mr. Sinister pulling the shots for the Brotherhood now?



You know me, Scott. A liar through and through. Even if I told you, you'd be stupid to believe me.

But... let's say yes. How's that? Ha!

Toad:
Toad Icon



Lose[]

Meet the new boss! Toad:
Toad Icon



Repeat[]

Sinister's watching, Scott. And he's not the only one. Toad:
Toad Icon



Complete[]

Scott Summers. How you do abuse poor Toad. I might need to... upgrade him. Mr. Sinister:
Mr. Sinister Icon



Cyclops:
Cyclops Icon 1
We're revoking your lab permits, Sinister. As of right now.



As much as I enjoy your idle threats, dear Scott, I cannot tarry. We will see each other quite soon, however. Be assured of that. Mr. Sinister:
Mr. Sinister Icon



Cyclops:
Cyclops Icon 1
Dammit! He's gone.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
He was never there, Scott. That was only a projection. I could detect no signs of a living psyche in the room other than you and Toad.



MiniBoss - Avalanche[]

Back to top ↑

Reveal[]

Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Incoming alert message from Beast. He's in one of Tony's labs near Avengers Tower. It sounds like he's in trouble.



Beast:
Beast Icon 1
Avalanche has broken into the lab, along with a number of Test Subjects. I could use a little help here.



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
We're on the way.



Beast:
Beast Icon 1
I sure hope so. They caught me unawares, as the expression goes, and I'm not sure how--



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Hank?



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Beast?

Agent, drop what you are doing and get to Beast's lab. Hank Pym was working in another part of the complex. He'll be ready when you get there.



Start[]

You've come to rescue your blue furry friend! How sweet... but he is not here! What a disappointment for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men!

But not the last disappointment! No, far from the last.

Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Hank Pym:
Hank Pym Icon 1
For you to disappoint me, I'd have to care. You're just dumb muscle that needs a knuckle-borne attitude adjustment.



Lose[]

Grow all you want! Shock waves don't care how big you are. Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Repeat[]

You bring ants into a lab facility? What kind of scientist are you? Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Complete[]

Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Need a sit-rep, Pym.



Hank Pym:
Hank Pym Icon 1
Avalanche is out... but I don't see Hank anywhere.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Keep looking. We're on it too.



Rogue:
Rogue Icon 1
I'm trackin' a whole stampede of Test Subjects in a damn big hurry to get somewhere. Stay on the wire, sugah, and I'll let you know where they're goin'.



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Rogue, wait for backup. We've been through this before.



Rogue:
Rogue Icon 1
Then you heard what I said before, didn't you, now?



Boss - Living Pharaoh[]

Back to top ↑

Reveal[]

Rogue:
Rogue Icon 1
I just found the Livin' Pharaoh, right here in--unh!



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Rogue?



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
Rogue, do you copy? Report!



Rogue sends her regrets, Director Fury. She is currently otherwise engaged. But the Living Pharaoh is available to take all your questions.

Now if you will excuse me, there is much to do.

Mr. Sinister:
Mr. Sinister Icon



Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
I'm goin' after her.



Start[]

Comes now the knight errant to rescue his damsel in distress. But alas! She is gone. Living Pharaoh:
Living Pharaoh Icon



Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
Gone where?



Exactly where she should be. Great plans are in the making, and she will have her role to play. Living Pharaoh:
Living Pharaoh Icon



Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
She ain't nobody's plaything. Stand between me an' her, you gonna be talking out the other side of your mouth in a minute, sure.



Lose[]

A new age is dawning... a new dynasty rises. Living Pharaoh:
Living Pharaoh Icon



Repeat[]

Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
I ain't stopping until you start talking.



Complete[]

Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
She ain't here.



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Where's the Living Pharaoh?



Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
Gone too. I couldn't see where, too many a'them Test Subjects around.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
She is alive. I can sense her. But I cannot determine her location. They must have enlisted a psychic to block me.



Epic Boss - Sugar Man[]

Reveal[]

Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Sugar Man has coralled a bunch of Test Subjects here. They're... this is awful. What he's doing to them...



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
He's a pure monster. You don't need to spell it out.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
We can't leave him on the loose. Attack him now while we prepare the search missions for Rogue and Beast.



Start[]

You're all in for a real treat... and by the time you find out what, it's gonna be way too late.

Me and Sinister make a helluva team, don't we? And you haven't even seen the real boss man yet.

Sugar Man:
Sugar Man Icon



Lose[]

Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
Get out of there, Agent. Rally to fight again.



Repeat[]

I'm gonna add you to my menagerie. Give me a week and your mother won't recognize you, new blood. Sugar Man:
Sugar Man Icon



Complete[]

Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Sugar Man was acting like a kid at Christmas. What, did someone give him a bunch of people to torture?



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Not funny, Stark. What's the one thing that would make a sadistic nut like Sugar Man happiest?



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
...



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
It's about time we admitted that Apocalypse may be back.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Keep that right in this room for now. No sense spreading panic without proof.



Cyclops:
Cyclops Icon 1
It's bad enough that we know Mr. Sinister is part of this. Apocalypse...



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
This makes it all the more important that we find Rogue and Beast immediately.



Mission Complete[]

Back to top ↑

Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
They can't just be gone. We've got the finest surveillance network in human history. Plus--



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
Rogue is on her way to San Francisco. I believe Beast is going to London. The telepathic block lifted, but only for a moment. I sense Selene's handiwork.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
...I was about to say, "plus we have a bunch of telepaths." So, yeah.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
We're going to have to split up. Coulson, you and I will take a team to London and search for Beast.

Professor Xavier, if you would accompany Agent Hill to San Francisco and pursue the search for Rogue...



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
We will leave immediately.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
I guess I'll just stay here and participate vicariously via satellite hookup.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Hardly. I can't risk an international incident, so you're going to San Francisco with Cyclops, Havok, Black Panther, Gambit, X-23 and War Machine.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Oh, goody, I get to play too.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Cap, you take the ops lead for the London team, with Cable, Wolverine, Ms. Marvel, Iceman, Angel, and Captain Britain.



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Yes sir.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Get moving, people. This situation is escalating quickly.

Psylocke:
Psylocke Icon 1
Welcome back to the Smoke. Avalanche has preceded you, and I think he has Beast with him... although the mental image I got wasn't exactly the Beast I knew.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
We'll take all the help we can get, Miss Braddock. Anything else we should know before we start the operation?



Psylocke:
Psylocke Icon 1
My brother tangled with Selene recently, if that's helpful. She won't be too far away from any of this.



Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
I wouldn't be shocked if she's running the London side of whatever operation Sinister and the Brotherhood are organizing.



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Neither would I. But let's get out there and find out. More importantly, let's find Hank McCoy



Deploy 1[]

Screen Text[]

Test Subjects in the Chunnel? Send a Tactician to get them out of there before they collapse it or the French blow up the other side to keep them out.

Deploy 2[]

The Hellfire Club might be running a Test Subject research facility here. Infiltrate, assess, destroy.

Deploy 3[]

The rectors of this museum are reporting their archives have been broken into and searched. Send a hero to see what's going on.

Start[]

Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
This museum houses a ton of ancient artifacts in an off-site warehouse. Last night, someone broke in.

Investigators on the scene have reported the intruders left evidence that might relate to our investigation. Let's take a look.



Complete[]

Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
A number of papyrus scrolls relating to religious sects in Old Kingdom Egypt appear to be missing.

Now who would want those...?

Don't answer. Rhetorical question.



Deploy 4[]

Screen Text[]

We're never going to catch Selene if we don't keep a secure perimeter around the area where we think she is. Send a Scrapper to clear a band of Test Subjects out of this location.

Deploy 5[]

Wolverine is the closest asset we have to a group of Test Subjects who are trying to break into an Iso-8 lab near the wharf.

Start[]

Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
Logan. Pinging you the address of an Iso-8 research facility. They're in trouble.



Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
What kind of trouble?



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
Test Subject kind. Their stock of Iso-8 is in danger



Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
Not for too much longer.

Wolverine:

The eggheads are safe again.

What about the Iso-8?



Wolverine:

That too.



MiniBoss - Avalanche[]

Reveal[]

Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
There's Avalanche, exactly where Psylocke said he'd be.

Good intel is half the fight. Let's go take care of the other half.



Start[]

Captain America, here in London. Starting another revolution, are we? I was a revolutionary, once. Heady days... Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Revolutionary? I guess that's what all terrorists like to call themselves.



And every authoritarian thug wants to label his enemies terrorists. Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Sorry, pal. You go around kidnapping people and wrecking cities full of civilians, you've earned the label. Where's Hank?



I don't know. You and I are both soldiers; the generals tell us little about their ultimate plans. Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Wrong. I'm a soldier. You're a murdering thief. And you're going down.



Lose[]

You look a little shook up, Captain. Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Repeat[]

While you wear yourself out fighting me, what do you think is happening to your friend McCoy? Avalanche:
Avalanche Icon



Complete[]

Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Avalanche doesn't know anything. He might have brought Hank here, but he's not one of the main players now.



Nick Fury:

Iceman is surfing around London trying to track down Selene. She's out there, working some kind of illusion to confuse our pursuit.



Iceman:
Iceman Icon 1
I'll get her.

Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Speaking of terrorists, there's Dragoness.



Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
I'll take this one. What's she doing in there?



Psylocke:
Psylocke Icon 1
I don't think Beast is there. He's nearby, though.



Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
We'll see what our Dragoness knows about it.



Start[]

Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
You're wrapped up in some nasty stuff this time. Kidnapping X-Men, forcibly mutating Test Subjects... decidedly not cricket.



Stay out of it. This is mutant business. You don't belong. Dragoness:
Dragoness Icon



Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
If it happens in England, it's my business. Give up McCoy and you'll only see prison. Unlike you, we're taking the civilized approach.



Which is precisely why this is a battle you will not win. What you call civilization is a worship of weakness. Dragoness:
Dragoness Icon



Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
We all read our Nietzsche in school, lass. Don't bore me with it again.



Lose[]

Rouse thyself, knight of the Otherworld. England has need of you... hello? Oh. Too bad. Dragoness:

Repeat[]

You're just in time. I have a new batch of Test Subjects finished up and ready to go. Dragoness:
Dragoness Icon



Complete[]

Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
Nothing here. No trace of McCoy.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
We're getting most of the Test Subjects back under control, at least. So far the damage to the area is minimal.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Iceman, how goes the search for Selene?



Iceman:
Iceman Icon 1
Thought I had her a minute ago, but she's tricky. Cat-and-mouse games aren't my strong suit, you know?



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
We should consider the possibility that Iceman's being set up for an ambush, boss.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
Consider it considered. After what happened to Rogue and Beast, we should be planning for an ambush around every corner.



Boss - Selene[]

Took me long enough, but I have visual on Selene. She knows I'm here.



Nick Fury:

Iceman:
Iceman Icon 1
I hear you, chief, but whoever's coming, they better hurry up. She knows I'm here.

That's what I was afraid of.

Thanks, S.H.I.E.L.D., you got here just in time. Now that Selene's down, I'm going to finish my patrol around--aagghh!



Bobby is late for a very important engagement, Director Fury. I hope you will forgive the terseness of this message. Good day. Mr. Sinister:
Mr. Sinister Icon



Nick Fury:

Anyone else hear that?



Agent Coulson:

Yeah, boss. I did.

Mr. Sinister Icon



Nick Fury:

Not by myself. Far be it from me to assume credit I have not earned. Allow me to introduce you--telepathically, of course--to the next stage of posthuman evolution. Mr. Sinister:

We've tracked Rogue to San Francisco, thanks to Professor Xavier's telepathic abilities.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
I have been unable to narrow her location down more specifically than this area of the city. But she is here, and she is alive...

...although her psyche is under enormous stress.



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
As is to be expected, if either Sugar Man or Mr. Sinister have captured her.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
Or both. We must prepare for the worst, which would be a return of Apocalypse. The signs, if you forgive the loaded language, are quite clear.



Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
Toad and Living Pharaoh are also in San Francisco. It seems likely that they transported Rogue here. Track them down and you will find Rogue as well.



Deploy 1[]

Screen Text[]

We located the transport used to bring Rogue here. Send a Bruiser to help recover it and bring it in for analysis.

Start[]

Maria Hill:
Maria Hill Dialogue
There's a crashed Quinjet in the swamps at the sound end of San Francisco Bay.

Deploy 3[]

Screen Text[]

Send a Tactician to help emergency responders keep gawkers away from this area. They've got enough to deal with.

Deploy 4[]

Blob is blocking our pursuit of some Test Subjects. We think they're headed for the Living Pharaoh. If so, they might lead us to Rogue.

Nevertheless, it must be. Quickly.

X-23:

We'll find her. My problem right now is you, and I'm here to solve problems.



I might not be as easily solved as you expect. Apocalypse has granted me powers that you can only dream of. Living Monolith:
Living Monolith Icon



X-23:
X-23 Icon 1
I don't dream. When you've seen what I seen, and done what I've done, it's a bad idea.



Ah, but someone else has made you a part of his dream... a dream of conquest. You have a role to play. Living Monolith:
Living Monolith Icon



X-23:
X-23 Icon 1
I'm not into role-playing. I stick with what I'm good at. Which is slicing up bad guys who can't stop running their mouths.

Not quite. The worst will be when all four Horsemen ride together... and that day is not far off.

If we are to forestall that, we must divide the team. Go to Wakanda. I feel X-23 is headed there. Rogue remains in San Francisco.

Nick Fury:

Here's what we know. Apocalypse has returned, and he's got four new horsemen ready to ride.



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
Iceman has become his Horseman of Death, back here in New York.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
For Apocalypse, this is a test of who's fit to survive in his new mutant world.

If we don't do something, a lot of people are going to die.



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
We've got another complication. Mobilized mutants have drawn the attention of Sentinels.

They are deploying throughout the city, going after anyone they see as a threat to order... Mutants and Homo Sapiens alike.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
While we get ready to facedown the Horseman of Death, we also need to be able to protect this city from Sentinels. Cap, Angel, Cable: it's going to be on your shoulders.



Angel:
Angel Icon 1
Whatever happens, Bobby's not going to be the same. I can tell you that from experience.

Sentinels are destroying a block of row houses in the South Bronx. A counterstrike team is en route; send a Blaster to support.

There's a rumor going around that the bridges and tunnels are going to be destroyed to isolate Manhattan. Send someone to help city officials quell those rumors.

Deploy 5[]

With all the focus on Apocalypse and the Sentinels, criminal gangs are taking advantage of the situation. There's a firefight between cops and a gang here. The Finest could use a little extra firepower.

You really think Apocalypse is going to keep you around, Toad?



He'll give me a better chance than you norms ever did. Toad:
Toad Icon



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
You never were very smart. The minute he gets rid of S.H.I.E.L.D., he'll take out the mutant trash.

Only the toughest mutants are going to survive the next gauntlet. The rest are going to die just like us regular people. Where do you think you fit in?



I'll take my chances. Toad:

Reveal[]

Cable:
Cable Icon 1
Fury, I decommissioned a Sentinel here, and ran into Mystique. She's on the run, changing shapes as fast as she can, but I've got a bead on her.

She's been drawing the Sentinels into areas with heavy concentrations of civilians. Intentional creation of collateral damage and chaos.



Angel:
Angel Icon 1
Isn't she a darling. She probably thinks she's proving herself to Apocalypse somehow, like Toad.



Nick Fury:

You are cleared to engage, Cable.



Start[]

Cable, Sinister created you. Apocalypse made you what you are. Don't you feel a little ungrateful, fighting on the wrong side? Mystique:
Mystique Icon



Cable:

Let's just say I'm not inclined to take sides with people who made me a pawn in their last war.



Oh, tender feelings. You poor thing. That's all right. Apocalypse will make someone just like you... only better. Mystique:

After that beating, Apocalypse might not think Mystique has the right stuff to be part of his new world.



Cable:

That's her problem.



Nick Fury:

Couldn't agree more. Stay after the Sentinels until we have Iceman cornered.

Did Fury send you to make me feel bad, Warren? Because you had such a hard time with the Archangel thing? Death:

No, he sent me to beat some sense into you.



Then you're going to be the first cull. There will be a lot more to come, but I appreciate you stepping up. Death:

I thought I had him, Nick. He was on the ropes.



Nick Fury:

Stay on the Sentinels while we figure out what's going on with the other three Horsemen.

Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
We have a qualified victory, people. Now Iceman knows he's got a fight on his hands, and so does Apocalypse.



Maria Hill:

My guess is Apocalypse will rally all four Horsemen together if he sees we can handle them individually.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
That's when we'll settle this for good. Either we carry the day, or...



Captain America:
Captain America Icon 1
We'll carry the day, sir. Because there's no other choice.

They're landing all over London, responding to Apocalypse's mutant uprising.



Captain Britain:

They're full of people who want in on the fight. Turn them around. This isn't playtime for weekend warriors.

A destroyed Sentinel is jamming a water intake along the Thames. That intake provides cooling for a secret Iso-8 refinement lab. Have a Blaster clear the jam before the lab's processing furnace blows.

Deploy 4[]

Sentinels are choking off evacuation routes now, trying to keep all potential mutants bottled up in this area. Looks like we need to punch some holes in another blockade.

Excellent, Captain Braddock. I believe you and Selene have unfinished business?

Does the Otherworld hate mutants, too? Very well. After we have won the battle in this realm, we shall continue it there. Selene:

Captain Britain:
Captain Britain Icon 1
If you'd drop your grudge long enough to clear your head, you'd see that Apocalypse doesn't care about you. To him, you're breeding stock.

We'll handle the Sentinels, and we'll handle X-23. Least we can do.

"We've forced Apocalypse's hand, and now he's finally taken the field himself. This is our best chance to stop him for good... if we can get past his horsemen."

Everything has inevitably led to this, has it not? Your ragtag band of accidental mutants and obsolete Homo sapiens so-called superhumans...

...arrayed against the avatars of the next stage of human evolution. Or posthuman, if you like.

Mr. Sinister:
Mr. Sinister Icon



The age of natural selection is over. Now begins the age of conscious selection.

Only those worthy of survival will remain. A new race, cleansed and culled and stronger, awaits...

...on the other side of apocalypse.

Apocalypse:
Apocalypse Icon



Nick Fury:

I take it everyone heard that?



Agent Coulson:

If I did, I'm sure everyone else did.

Then we know what we have to do.

Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
This one's mine.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
Indeed it must be.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Kids today. Ungrateful Horsemen of Apocalypse. And jeez, the stuff they call music...



Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
Shut up, Stark.



Start[]

Proud of me, Dad? Your little clone's all grown up. War:
War Icon



Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
You call this grown up? All I see is a little bundle of hate with a new bunch of reasons someone put in her head.

You're being played for a fool, kid. Trust me. I've been there.



Not here, you haven't. Not where I am. And you're not going to talk me into giving this up. War:
War Icon



Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
Have it your way, then. I'm done talking.



Lose[]

Oh, that felt good. Who's next? War:

You're not free of the old man yet. Not now, not ever.

Someone better get her in a cage before she wakes up.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
We're on our way. I guess they weren't lying when they said the teen years would be the hardest, right Dad?



Wolverine:
Wolverine Icon 1
I told you to shut up.



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Take out your parenting anxieties on someone else, pal. We're trying to save humanity here.

Reveal[]

Storm:
Storm Icon 1
I will confront Beast.



Cyclops:
Cyclops Icon 1
Me too.



Storm:
Storm Icon 1
Let me speak to him. We have seen Horsemen before; we know that sometimes their memories of what they were can be cracks in Apocalypse's armor.



Cyclops:
Cyclops Icon 1
If you say so. But if things go wrong, we need to make the hard choice.



Start[]

"And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men..."

"...and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains..."

Pestilence:
Pestilence Icon



Storm:
Storm Icon 1
But not your friends, Henry McCoy. We do not hide.



Not yet. Pestilence:

I have a quote for you, Henry: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"



Tony Stark:
Tony Stark Dialogue
Good one. But Logan tried that angle already, and it didn't work.



Complete[]

Storm:
Storm Icon 1
He is still alive. I will bring him to you, Professor.



Agent Coulson:
Agent Coulson Dialogue
Helicarrier med lab is waiting.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
That will not be safe. He must be contained--all of them must--until we know whether Apocalypse's changes can be undone.



Angel:
Angel Icon 1
Or controlled, at least. It's not easy, but it can be done.

Sentiment will not win this battle, Remy.



Gambit:

Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
Do not let him go alone, Agent. He isn't thinking clearly. She will kill him.



Start[]

Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
Oh, cher. Look what he did to you.



Don't cry for me, Remy. This is what I was born to be. No one but Apocalypse is gonna to give us a gift like this. Famine:
Famine Icon



Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
It's no gift. He's poisoned you, and made the poison taste sweet.



That's jealousy talking. You can have your chance if you want it. But if you make the wrong choice... that's on your head. Famine:
Famine Icon



Gambit:
Gambit Icon 1
Ainsi soit-il.[1] I'll get you back, or I'll die trying.



Lose[]

Don't fight anymore, Remy. I won't kill you unless I have to. Famine:
Famine Icon



Repeat[]

Gambit:

She's alive, Gambit. Stand by. We're coming.

Tony Stark Dialogue
That's the spirit, kid.



Start[]

Kitty Pryde:
Kitty Pryde Icon 1
Bobby. There's enough of you left in there to know how wrong this all is. I know it.



There's enough of me left to remember you broke my heart when I had one. That time has passed. Death:
Death Icon



Kitty Pryde:
Kitty Pryde Icon 1
We were going to end up hurting each other. I decided to pull the Band-Aid off all at once instead of prolonging the agony.



It doesn't matter. You thought we were going to hurt each other before? Wait'll you see what's going to happen now.

You taught me love dies. Everything dies.

Death:
Death Icon



Lose[]

Everything. Dies. Death:
Death Icon



Repeat[]

We're on our way. Let's get him under wraps before we take on the big man.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
You heard him, Kitty. He remembers. He will recover.



Nick Fury:

Not if we don't take care of Apocalypse, he won't. Save the broken hearts for later.

Most of you will be culled.

The hell we will.

En Sabah Nur has never been known for his moderation, either in word or in deed.

All are unconscious but still alive.

We've got some extensive rehab work to do with all four of the Horsemen.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
It has already begun.



Nick Fury:
Nick Fury Dialogue
And even if Apocalypse doesn't try this again anytime soon, we're going to be dealing with Mr. Sinister in the not-too-distant future.

He might have partnered up with Apocalypse this time, but he's turned on his master before, and this is a perfect time for him to do it again.



Professor X:
Professor X Dialogue
We must remain vigilant.
