Logan coughs as his wounds heal. He turns onto his side. Suddenly, Yuriko stands from the water; her claws extended. She plunges them into his back. Logan screams in pain as she drives her claws deeper into his body. He sees a set of needle guns and screams as he crawls towards them, Yuriko's claws still in his back. She digs her claws in even deeper, making him scream again.

Yuriko pulls her claws out and goes to stab him again, but Logan grabs a needle gun and stabs her in the stomach, releasing the adamantium. Yuriko looks at him in shock as adamantium bleeds from her mouth, eyes, and nose. Logan closes his eyes in disgust and pulls the needle away. Yuriko falls back into the water, sinking to the bottom of the tub with a metallic clink. Logan sighs in relief.


The professor looks at the red lights around him.

"Find all the mutants." The little girl says. "All of them. Find them. Find all the mutants. Everywhere. Each one. All of them." The professor focuses on the mutants. "Good. Kill them."


Standing in front of the doors of Cerebro, a large grew of soldiers look towards the door, hearing a low whistling sound. The turn back around when they hear a sound down the hallway and ready their weapons. Suddenly, the pins on their grenades lift up and fly off. They try to take the grenades off their vest but are too late.

The grenades drop to the ground as Magneto and Mystique make their way down the hall, stepping over the bodies and debris.


Logan hops off the gate and onto the floor.


Magneto walks up to the doors of Cerebro and puts on his helmet.


"Concentrate. Concentrate harder." The little girl says. "Now find them all. Find all the mutants. Concentrate harder. Each and every one. Find all the mutants. Kill them all. Find them all. Kill them."


Scott holds Jean up as they walk down the hall. Jean gasps, making them stop. "Cerebro." She says. "We're too late." Suddenly she and Scott feel a sharp pain in their heads, and they scream.


Mystique screams and falls to her knees, clutching her head. Magneto looks at her in concern.


The students fall to the floor in pain. Storm slumps on a wall and Kurt falls to his knees.


Logan falls to the ground with a hand to his head.


Trinity lies on the ground, electricity dancing over her body as she screams in pain. She rolls onto her side, holding a hand to her head.


San Francisco, California

Alec Clairborn sits on the kitchen floor, holding a screaming Vivian in his arms. "Viv!" He yells in concern, but his wife continues screaming.


"Eric, hurry!" Mystique says, clutching her head as her form shifts over and over again.

Magneto holds his hands up and begins to pull the doors apart.


Stryker walks through the tunnels and twists open a heavy door before pushing it, revealing the snowy ground outside. He quickly steps out and pushes the door closed.
