Summary

  Bishop's men start arresting evil mutantsand toss one back through the portal, which tears him apart. Fitzroy laughs, saying the portal is one-way, and they are all stuck in the 20th century. Bishop orders a termination sweep, and the mutants flee in terror, each using an image inducer to look like Fitzroy and provide cover for him.

  Ororo realizes these people are all from a horrific possible future (Days of Future Past, iss. 141-142), and that Bishop wears the X. He absorbs energy and blasts; Piotr smashes him, saying X-Men don't let people get killed.

  Fitzroy gets away, only to be caught by Shinobi's men. Bishop doesn't believe these are really the legendary X-Men, so he puts a restraining cuff on Piotr, forcing him back to human form. Ororo blasts Bishop, but he just absorbs it; Bobby ices him; he blasts Bobby's ice sled. Warren catches him and shoots metal feathers; Bishop's men shoot at them; Ororo whips up a hurricane and finishes it.

  Xavier returns Jean's mind to her own body. Shinobi reclaims his father's ring from Fitzroy. He appeals to the Gamesmaster, who rules in favor of Shinobi. Shinobi sets off bombs to destroy Fitzroy's base, and Bishop uses the distraction to get away from the X-Men, whom Ororo lifts up to the Blackbird.
