Xavier leaves Earth with the mutant Skrulls to become their teacher,
being seen off by Shadowcat and Colossus on Muir Island. As Xavier
leaves, Kitty tells Peter that the X-Men should follow their dreams, as
well as her wanting a life beyond the X-Men, thinking now might be the
time for her to do so. Xavier senses this, though he's confident that Kitty, despite her
feelings of abandonment, betrayal and anger, would've likely done the
same thing if she was in his shoes. At the same time, at Xavier's, Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Marrow,
Arcangel, Psylocke and Nightcrawler are playing a game of baseball.
While Ororo is distracted and thinks that the X-Men are only going to
face more turmoil due to the past several months' events, Logan assures
her the team'll find a way to win whatever's thrown their way. On Genosha, Magneto and Polaris watch a group of mutates battle a
group of human rebels. When Lorna suggests they get the local fractions
from killing each other, Magneto remarks that's why she's there, to
help power him up due to his recently weakening abilities before they
join the fight as well, Polaris wondering if she made the right call to
join Magneto. Meanwhile, Mystique infiltrates the National Reconnaissance
Office in order to try and clean up her tracks by finding who's
responsible for the exposure of several of her previous identities. In Genosha, a heated debate is taking place between the Acolytes
and Fabian Cortez, who believes they should overthrow Magneto due to his
weakening powers and the fact it's taking longer for him to recharge
each time, though the debate is halted by Magneto as he returns with
Polaris, who's still debating over her choice to join Magneto as any
blood Magneto sheds might be on her hands, though she also wonders if
she could take him on if she tried to. In Alaska, Nate Gray approaches Jean as she's mediating as
Phoenix and thinking about her own death. Sensing Nate is still blaming
himself for Scott's death, Jean tells him it wasn't his fault, and that
Apocalypse not taking the fact that the X-Men are willing to sacrifice
themselves for each other into account was what led to his downfall. Meanwhile, Mimic, Toad, Blob and Post have gathered in a log
cabin to plan a heist involving a secret weapon being made at Paradigm
Micronics that could potentially make them rich. Iceman and Beast arrive on Genosha in order for Hank to commit
research on the Legacy Virus, due to Genosha having the biggest mutant
population in the world as he fears someone might retrigger it, which
would make the deaths the virus caused resume. Back at Xavier's, the X-Men are relaxing after their game when a
hologram of the High Evolutionary arrives, much to the team's surprise. High Evolutionary then states that mutantkind is too dangerous and as such, he has decided to put an end to it. Adding that he doesn't wish to harm them, High Evolutionary adds
he has built an energy field to neutralize the mutant genome, reverting
the mutants to the humans they could've been. As Rogue and Gambit protest this and Betsy makes a sarcastic
remark, Kurt realizes that High Evolutionary's plan is already underway
as he wouldn't have come otherwise. Despite this, High Evolutionary has prepared a rebuttal to their
arguments, pointing out that in a world with no mutants, they won't be
struggling to free themselves from the oppression most of them have been
subjected to since either puberty or birth, nor will they need to worry
about Magneto.

Logan tries to reason with High Evolutionary, pointing out there
are several other, non-mutant beings who're powerful, like Thor, Dr.
Doom, Mandarin and Hulk, as well as pointing out that Scarlet Witch,
Firestar, Quicksilver and Beast would also suffer and, as part of the
Avengers, said team likely wouldn't take this lightly. Despite the somewhat reasonable argument, High Evolutionary
begins the procedure and the effects are shown around the globe: Kitty
and Colossus both convulse with agony as their powers are stripped away,
while in Alaska, Jean crash lands onto the ground, with Sunfire and
X-Man doing the same in their respective locations. At the same time, Cable feels the techno-organic virus in him
attack as his own powers vanish while the members of both X-Force and
Generation X also experience their own powers being stripped away. As Aurora, Northstar and Sabra also scream in agony as their own
abilities are neutralized, Magneto and the Acolytes undergo the same
thing as Magneto realizes that, should word get out, the island's
factions will certainly come for him as revenge. Mystique, almost done with her scheme, suddenly undergoes the
procedure herself, making her easy prey for some guards as it causes her
to briefly black out in pain. At the same time, Post, Mimic, Blob and
Toad also get stripped of their powers, causing Blob to become very
skinny, though retaining his massive folds of skin, Post becoming a
normal man and Mimic to lose his current and previous abilities (though
Toad seems thrilled as the procedure has given him a very handsome
appearance and he's now able to stand upright like a normal person). As they also undergo the depowering process, Bobby and Hank (the
latter now with only a few clumps of fur on his body) hear the same
thing is happening globally, prompting Hank to suspect that somebody
else may also be involved.After the procedure is done, High Evolutionary tells the X-Men
(as Warren loses the last of his feathers and Kurt completely turns
human) that while he knows it seems unfair, he hopes that they'll accept
everything in time. Xavier's dream is now complete. High Evolutionary
then tells the group to enjoy their new lives as he departs, leaving the
still in shock X-Men completely... ordinary.
