Summary
Nate dreams of being back in the Age of Apocalypse, with Infinites after him for sabotage. Jean wakes him; they and Scott are camping in Alaska. Nate had come to them, sensing something evil at the top of a mountain; as they climb up, two Infinites fall past them, fused together with a chunk of rock.
At the top, they find many similarly mangled corpses, both Infinite and human, and then a piece of the Atlantic sea wall, which has a generator to dampen mutant powers.
Infinites jump out of the snow and attack; Nate and Scott work together to protect Jean; Jean mind-reads that the Infinites don't know how they got here, but they're setting up a cloning facility to create an army. They enter the sea wall and split up, intending to destroy the Null Generator and the cloning pool.
Hatchet-9 stalks them.
