Erik Lensherr, otherwise known as Magneto, stood atop his metal tower in the heart of his beloved Genosha, gazing at the rising sun with great trepidation. It was a sun rise the color of blood.

The Master of Magnetism was no fool, how could he be? He had been alive since the cursed Holocaust, yet only looked to be in his 40s, he had sired three children, all of them with vast powers, he had butted heads against the best this world had to offer, coming out either victorious or alive, he had pulled feats that many only whispered about in hushed, awe-filled tones and whispers.

No, Magneto was not a fool, and decades of experience told him that today was the day.

The day in which those abominations came to his island; came for his head.

Magneto did not know the specifics of the battle between the Abominations and Charles' X-Men, but he did know that A) those children wiped out the Avengers themselves with what one could almost consider ease; B) those same children slaughtered the Fantastic Four and decided to make art of the bodies; C) the Abominations had killed the most powerful telepath on the planet (and Erik's good friend), along with several powerful mutants (mutants whose combined strength was enough to defeat Apocalypse and the Four Horsemen); D) S.H.I.E.L.D. had dropped a nuclear bomb on Bayville, New York, wiping out miles of land and life in a failed attempt to kill the Abominations.

How did Magneto know they failed? Well, the very next day, after the agency gave a press conference to explain their actions to the world, all four Abomination were there to cause mayhem and spill blood. The Master of Magnetism would've gladly accepted such powerful and skilled mutants into his ranks, if not for the fact that all of them were more insane than Deadpool and were clearly intent on the killing of every being that bore the title 'super.'

And in the eyes of the world, Magneto and his Brotherhood were the main claimers of supervillains...along with a select few others such as Red Skull and Dr. Doom.

Which is why, upon learning of the survival of the Abominations, Magneto had quickly spirited away all civilians and children from his beloved Genosha, leaving only his most powerful soldiers to defend this little speck of paradise he had made for mutant-kind, chief among his soldiers being his daughters, Scarlet Witch and Polaris, and his son, Quicksilver.

Magneto felt extremely guilty about letting his own children on the battlefield, especially considering the reputation and feats of the Abominations, but the battle the Abominations would find here would not be like those they found against the Avengers and the X-Men.

The Avengers had faced unknowns, and the X-Men had been caught off-guard, but Magneto had spent hours upon hours reviewing the footage of the Abominations fighting the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and had determined what their powers and abilities were, and had come up with multiple plans for each child, and he was ready for them.

He had been ready for them since the press conference.

The magnetic fields that blanketed Genosha were suddenly disturbed, with four unknowns distorting the area. Magneto's eyes glowed a light purple as his power spread to cover the whole of his island. With barely a thought, specific pieces of the walls of specific buildings twisted and groaned ever so slightly, and that was all it took for the Brotherhood to move into action.

Magento donned his iconic helmet, and spun around with a flourish of his cape.

Time for war.

"Ugh, is it possible for you to go one sentence without cussing?"
