The many Jamie Madrox's generated by Multiple Man rush into the fray, armed only with their bare fists. They engage the guards, but many of them are killed by the machine gun fire that fills the air. Multiple Man himself sits just outside the gate, gasping in pain but continuing to generate multiples of himself at a steady pace.

The pyrokinetic known only as Sol flies over the heads of the gathered soldiers, hurling blasts of fire into their midst. The soldiers scatter from the flames, hurrying to get out of the way.

Shadowcat phases out and rushes through the thick mob of soldiers, heading towards the cells where the mutants are held captive. Bullets, grenades and soldiers pass right through her as she hurries through the battlefield.

Chamber rushes into the fray, the seething mass of psionic energy alive with fury as he hurls blast after blast of psionic energy into the mass of soldiers, blasting a path through the battlefield and towards the cells to assist Shadowcat in her mission.

The earth shakes under the feet of the soldiers as Avalanche rides over the battlefield on a wave of solid earth. The ground opens up beneath the hapless troops, casting them down in a heap at the bottom of the hole before the ground closes in around them.

The already outnumbered and outmatched guards saw what seems to be an easy target in the sea of mutant attackers. A small black woman stands in the middle of the crowd of Multiple Men, looking around at the battle going on around her. However, as they approach, she spots them, suddenly growing right in front of them; 10, 20, 50 feet, straight up. The last thing the guards see is a 10 ft long foot rushing down towards them.

Mystique ducks behind several crates for cover, brandishing a large pistol. She pops up from behind them, firing several rounds into the fray before rushing to the next stack of crates.

The Vigilante known as Chernobyl fires another long blast of atomic energy into the onrushing group of soldiers. His skin glows a bright shade of green, revealing black bones beneath the skin. He carries inside him the power of a nuclear power plant, held in check only by a special suit developed by his father. Another blats of nuclear energy flattens a group of soldiers, and Chernobyl rushes towards another part of the scene.

Cruise hovers above the scene, occasionally flinging himself at groups of soldiers and buildings, releasing a devastating explosion with every impact. Several tanks roll out of a garage at the back of the compound, seen only by Cruise. Without a second thought, he darts towards them at speeds exceeding 100 mph. He plows into the ground in the middle of the tank formation, the ensuing explosion blowing the heavily armored tanks off the ground.
