.....

The planes in the sky were sent to hunt mutants.

The large containers below were filled with Sentinel robots, ready to deploy.

Seeing the movements of the planes, Roger instantly understood, humans had discovered a large gathering of mutants, possibly even pinpointing the location of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the X-Men!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Roger turned to Tony and Nebula behind him and said,

"It looks like our friends are in trouble. We're heading there to help."

"The friends you mentioned, are they the mutants you talked about?" Tony asked.

Roger had already briefed Tony on the X-Men universe before their arrival. He explained the existence of mutants, the Xavier School, and the threat posed by Sentinel robots.

After all, Tony was just an ordinary human without his armor. If he wasn't informed of the dangers beforehand, any unexpected incident could end disastrously for him, and Roger would bear the blame.

Now, knowing mutants were in danger, Tony didn't hesitate. He confirmed, "If we follow those planes, we'll find your 'friends,' right?"

"Exactly," Roger affirmed.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Tony's voice trailed off as his suit propelled him into the sky.

Roger grabbed Nebula's arm, enveloping her in his bio-field, and followed Tony.

The three of them trailed the planes carrying Sentinel robots. The planes seemed oblivious to their presence.

And that was no surprise, Roger had already used his enhanced vision to confirm that all the planes were unmanned drones. Their sole purpose was transporting Sentinels, not engaging in direct combat.

After following the planes for a while, the destination came into view: a small island, isolated far from the mainland.

The island was enveloped in a powerful illusion, making it appear empty and barren from the outside. However, anyone with advanced vision or capable of piercing the illusion would see a thriving city hidden beyond the barrier.

This city was a haven for mutants, a sanctuary where mutants lived openly.

At that moment, the inhabitants were methodically evacuating through a large, glowing purple portal.

The portal was created by Blink, an X-Man with the ability to open teleportation gates. The mutants were using it to flee to safety.

But their evacuation was progressing too slowly.

"They're coming!"

Bishop, stationed at the city's outskirts to monitor the situation, shouted to the other X-Men and the defenders of the mutant city.

Iceman, standing nearby, also spotted the wave of Sentinel robots descending through the clouds. His body instantly crystallized into ice as he prepared for battle. He yelled to the others,

"Blink, keep the evacuation going, don't stop! Petra, can you help reinforce the defenses?"

Petra, a young woman with long golden hair, turned her gaze from the evacuating mutants and responded, "On it!"

She placed her hands on the ground, and the earth began to shift and reshape. Walls of dirt and stone rose around the city, forming thick barriers to shield the mutants.
