From a distance, the camp looks small und insignificant, but as we get closer the Sentinels surrounding it are colossal, und menacing.

"Are we going to just break in und Sack the place?" I look up at Logan and he smirks.

"Yeah, that's exactly what we're gonna do."

"Cool." I then fly him and Laura over the main building and drop them in.

"Good luck." I whisper and plug my earbuds in to the song PROMISES : THE CRANBERRIES.

You better believe I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
Cause tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh oh!

Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Oh eh [Repeat x4]

Do-do-do
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
Do-do-do

The music fits well with the situation as I cut clean through a sentinel, the humans we had fought hard to protect had just betrayed us, killing my brother in the process. The music is on repeat and it fuels my anger for these metal beasts that tear through families and friends, not caring who they obliterate or destroy, for it's not in their programming. Master Mold, the horrible invention created to make more sentinels, is behind all of this mess, but he was created by humans. Another sentinel drops as I slice cleanly through its mainframe. This is probably the most fun I've had since... I died. I pause, the memory tumbles into my mind distracting me from my task long enough for me to be surrounded by regenerative sentinels, but the circle is easily broken by Marrow and Domino. I join them and I see an explosion rock the building, knocking us to our feet. I sit up, ears still ringing, and gawk at the sight of Wolverine, X23, the Professor, and a couple of others.
