The group soon found themselves back in Avalon with Beast being guided to the med bay as Professor Xavier was once again waiting for them.

"Thanks to your having defeated Apocalypse's Horseman, Mikhail, the threat to Avalon has been removed and this untamed wilderness known as the Savage Land is once again safe." Professor Xavier said. "Now we can set our sights on stopping the army of Apocalypse from endangering anyone else. To do this, we will have to travel to the old Weapon X facility and set up a base camp there."

"Weapon X? Isn't that where Wolverine got those claws of his?" Zenji asked.

"Yes, but it has been abandoned ever since Wolverine escaped, it would be the last place anyone would look for us." Jean Grey said.

"Sounds like a plan, time we put the kibosh on Apocalypse's forces." Ajna said.

Meanwhile…

New York City

It was currently nighttime as a military jet was seen flying over the Big Apple as a huge storm approached.

"HQ, this is Red 7 on patrol. We've got a heavy storm front coming up, other than that, all is quiet." The pilot said before looking at his radar scope and seeing multiple dots approaching. "Wait a minute. We've got bogies! Hundreds of em'! HQ! What are my orders?" he said as his ship was soon shot down by a drone as the army of drones approached the city and began laying waste to it before one of them dropped a bomb that decimated a large area as a much larger ship was descending to where the bomb went off.

"Now all shall bear witness to my greatness! I hold their leaders powerless and their mightiest city is under my control." The familiar voice of Apocalypse said as he stepped down from one of the drone ships with Mr. Sinister by his side. "Soon I will show this world a war the likes of which has never been seen! I will weed out the weak and inferior so that only the strong survive!" he said as the large ship formed as a tower.

Later with Spirit Force and Reformed Society…

"Greetings. You've no doubt noticed the old Weapon X Facility is our latest headquarters. I find it every bit as discomforting as you, but we have limited options." Professor Xavier said.

"Well it's like Jean said, this would be the last place anyone would look for us." Lei said.

"Besides, it's not all that unusual to people like us." Zamazenta said.

"Not only that, but to think Apocalypse was able to take New York just like that. And with a number of High-Ranking leaders mysteriously falling into comas at the same time as the attack." Ace said.

"Gemini would have a fit if she heard about that." Zamazenta said.

"The situation is growing worse. Department H reports that Apocalypse is planning attacks on major cities around the world. We cannot allow that, therefore our primary objective will be to disable his military infrastructure." Professor Xavier said.

"What's the game plan?" Stahn asked.

"At the moment we know of two facilities important to Apocalypse's War Machine; The Core and The Infinite Factory. Heather Hudson and Angel should be able to tell you more about these two locations." Professor Xavier said.

"We should probably split up and tackle both places at once." Zamazenta said.

"Yeah, it's the best option we have if we want to put a dent in Apocalypse's forces quickly." Rutee said.

"Which one do you plan on taking, Neptune?" Cheetah asked.

"I'll head to the Core." Ace said. "Mari should be able to help shut down the main power source with her EMF visualizer. And you Cheetah?"

"I'll take the Factory." Cheetah said.

"I'll come with ya, I have a history with Guardian, and he should be able ta help us on how ta shut down the factory." Wolverine said.

"That would be appreciated. Thank you." Cheetah said.

"Anytime, darlin'." Wolverine said.

"*Wolf Whistle*" Zamazenta said.

"Anyone else feeling something going on with those two?" Belladonna asked.

"Oh yes, seems a romance is starting to bloom between those two." Thorani said.

"Yep. Seems like the lass found 'erself a good one." Yangus said.

"So did Wolverine, after all the things he's been through." Jean Grey said.

"I can definitely see these two living happily together in the future. Now, let's get moving." Zamazenta said.

"Yeah, let's go!" Kor said.
