"Long Games End"[]
Polaris brings the might of Knowhere and a legion of Brood down upon The Bloom. Colossus and Wolverine have already sneaked on-board undercover and begin fighting through Orchis operatives. Nightcrawler teleports onto the station and teleports an operative into outer space. Other members of the group flee to the escape pods.
On Earth, Rogue and Gambit land the Thunderbird on the grounds of the old Xavier school, which is covered over with plants. They find Manifold and induct him into the ranks of the X-Men. Rogue tells Gambit that Destiny predicted that Manifold has a very large role to play in what is to come.
the White Queen is in New York City telepathically taking control of Orchis goons, while Shadowkat prowls through Paris in search of Cyclops. Omega Sentinel is about ready to execute Cyclops, but he is not afraid. Assistance comes in the most unlikely of forms however, as Doctor Alia Gregor uses an electromagnetic pulse to short out the Omega Sentinel.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The X-Men were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in The X-Men, Volume 1 #1 in September, 1963. The title eventually evolved to include the "All-New, All-Different" X-Men, after which the series became a runaway hit, ultimately changing its title to Uncanny X-Men. Since then, this outcast team of mutant misadventurers have appeared in numerous comic book titles that have since been adapted into several cartoon programs, feature films, and video games; not to mention copious amounts of merchandising ranging from toys to apparel.
