Among the casualties include Blob, Jubilee, Mirage, Feral, Thornn and, apparently, Iceman. Trish Tilby reports from Mutant Town on the massive power loss. She later calls Beast to reconnect with him, but Hank is still bitter over her betrayal and refuses to pick up. Bishop teams up with Sergeant Charlotte Jones to start helping out those in Mutant Town, which is a direr situation than originally expected. Terrorists destroy the X-Corporation Europe office, forcing Cyclops to close down all X-Corporations around the world. Feral and Thornn take it especially hard, as they know this de-powering is no accident and are bitter at the X-Men for simply dumping them in the streets during their time of need. Thornn swears revenge as she sneaks off with her seemingly injured sister, Feral. As Husk and Karma call parents to update the status of their children, Iceman deals with parents who are not happy that their children still have powers. He is confronted by Polaris about his power loss, but partially sees this as an opportunity to reconnect with her. As Cyclops has Sunspot clear out the X-Corporations, Sage volunteers to examine the crisis, but Scott does not tell her the truth about the House of M. In fact, most of the X-Men don’t know the truth. Cyclops then orders all human students home, much to their chagrin, and then opens the school open to any mutant in need. Worried about recent dreams Marvel Girl and Nocturne have been having, Nightcrawler puts together a team to find Captain Britain and deal with a related power spike there, not knowing that Peter Wisdom has also been ordered to find Captain Britain. Meanwhile, the Courtney Ross imposter finds that one of her contacts is in dire need of help. In the States, the president orders the initiation of the O*N*E*, a national emergency counter-measure that utilizes a new breed of manually piloted Sentinels. Emma finds herself unable to deal well with the crisis and feels like an outsider more than ever, but Cyclops comforts her and realizes that both of them need to stop bottling up their emotions. As Storm decides to leave the team over disagreements with Cyclops and Emma, Wolverine and Colossus fight the Sapien League on the mansion grounds, who are trying to kill mutants trying to make it to Xavier’s. Before Wolverine can chase after the escaping Sapien League, Sentinel Squad O*N*E* arrives and surrounds the mansion. (Brief description courtesy of uncannyxmen.net)
